There wouldn't be a performance gain until the OS and apps are in 64-bit code. Yes, it will make a difference in the long run. When Android L comes that's the start of the next era, but it'll take a while for 64-bit apps to come into the fold. We're ok for now. Next upgrade will have to be 64-bit, no doubt about it. Edit: without a 64-bit kernel there can't be any gain in battery life. With Android L around the corner, I'd say you're right, there could be some battery performance gain. Not sure if it'd be enough to be concerned about tho, remains to be seen I suppose..

Remember, I did say that I would take the improvements of a proper 64-bit setup now, not that it existed just yet :)

According to Google, 85% of all current Play Store apps are already 64-bit compliant. 64-bit specific apps are still a way off, though.

Anyone heard anything from MTN on pre-orders?

SO finally got through and the person said they 'might' be getting the phone end of the month. So yeah, clueless...

Yeah, clearly. She got the preorder SMS and afterward they say there's no record of her preorder... :erm:

Why are all the SPs in SA so useless?

think I'm going to pass on the Note 4 and get a Z3C for now. Will wait for Note 5 with 64 bit next year if it comes out!!!
even though I can afford one, the pricing is getting out of hand :(

The galaxy Alpha's metal band around the phone is a dull metallic colour.I like it.The Note 4 's has a plasticy band of the same colour as your phone where the Alpha has bare metal.Not sure I like it.:confused:

Noticed that |Telkom has a notice on their website that the iPhone 6 arrives soon.No mention of the Note 4 yet and it releases tomorrow.Strange I am assuming that Telkom will be carrying the Note 4.
