This year, I’ve decided not to buy the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, here’s my Top 5 reasons why.
This year, I’ve decided not to buy the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, here’s my Top 5 reasons why.
Probably, the best deals on Samsung Galaxy phones like the upcoming Note 9 will be on eBay several months after on international models. Now, if you want to get the best bundle promotions you will want to go with a carrier that gives you the promotion such as AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, or Verizon. Just double-check samsungpromotions.com to see if your carrier is supported or not. Sometimes these free bundles/promotions are worth well over $300-400 including a 1-year subscription to Netflix.
Galaxy Note 8 is one of my main drivers if not my best phone of choice if I had to choose one phone from many of Android smartphones I have collected(around 100 now) in the last 7 years. Well, what if I told you that you can even make your Samsung Galaxy Note 8 better with pretty much all the software features from the Galaxy S9? That’s exactly what I did to my Galaxy Note 8 a few weeks back and boy, I am in heaven. While many of earlier S9 ROMs had bugs like earphone not working or AR stickers from S9 not working, all those issues have been fixed with the latest S9 ROM that I am using. It literally “supercharges” your Galaxy Note 8 as performance is great, battery life is excellent, and customization is nearly better. Everything just is better with the S9 ROM and once you install this on your Galaxy Note 8, you will never want to run stock firmware ever again. That’s a promise.
In this video, I show you how to make DIY dome glass tempered glass for your Samsung Galaxy S9, S9 Plus, Note 8, S8, S8 Plus, and you can also use this method on pretty much any smartphone to apply loca glue with tempered glass so your touch sensitivity and glare stays the same as if you didn’t have tempered glass on. I got this idea from the Dome Glass screen protector, which is good but I thought you could just do it yourself and save some money, especially if you have more than one phone.
Here’s how to make great 4K 60fps videos w/ Galaxy S9 Plus and DJI Osmo Mobile gimbal. YouTube adds a lot of artifacts(due to rendering) when viewed with anything less than 4K, so please try to watch the video in at least 1440P or 4K. If you are using Samsung Galaxy device such as S9 or S9 Plus, make sure your display setting is set to 1440P first otherwise you will be limited to 1080P only.
For those of you who want to upgrade your Samsung Galaxy Note 3 to the latest Android 8.1 Oreo, you are in luck as there is a stable version of Lineage OS 15.1 ROM that you can run on it if you have one of the models supported. While Samsung has stopped updating stock firmware since Android 5.0 Lollipop, you can still grab the latest and best Android 8.1 Oreo and easily install it. Now, this is an AOSP ROM(What is AOSP?), meaning you won’t be able to get any TouchWiz apps (Samsung apps that depend on Samsung firmware). As far as the S-Pen goes, it still works you will just have to use a 3rd party app(such as Squid) which work just the same.
In this benchmark test comparison, we take up the U.S. Galaxy Note 8 Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 model vs. international Note 8 Exynos 8895 and find out which one is the better/faster processor.
I have been patiently waiting for a good deal on the international model of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 for few months now since Note 8 launch since it offers the better Exynos 8895 processor along with unlocked bootloader, meaning you can easily root and install custom ROMs. Well, around Black Friday I was able to pick up the SM-N950F/DS dual-SIM international model for about $779. (The price is even lower now at $739, check here) Certainly, this is a steal considering most U.S. retailers selling them at $950 or higher.
Chromecast has been probably one of the most innovative devices that allows you to easily “cast” online videos such as YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, etc…etc… Now, one of the missing features of Chromecast is that it cannot by itself stream movies on your phone. Also, if you want to stream 4K movies, that’s even near impossible to do.
Want a KILLER deal on the latest Samsung Galaxy Note 8 this Black Friday and Cyber Monday? Traditionally, Note series have not been discounted during Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend but this year, you may just be able to save around $170 or 20% OFF its $950 retail prices.
