Samsung Galaxy Note7

joe nodden

I think more iPhones explode than these did, lol.

Tae moto

Old specs but i can't eat the price.

Samsung Galaxy S10e

So true. Also, Apple and Google-biased journalists in the news business made the explosions a big deal back before the recall and discontinuation.

TechNerd22

Only 35 Note 7's exploded before Samsung discontinued them. 2.5 MILLION was sold before Samsung recalled the Note7. It was good that Samsung discontinued the Note7, but I think the news about it was over exaggerated. Plus, Samsung remade the Galaxy Note7 (Galaxy Note FE) so I don't know why Samsung is still getting hate about the Note7. You can still use a Note7 perfectly in 2019, and if you are worried about it exploding, you can just get the Note FE.

Good point about how there were only a few cases of fire and burning. The only reason why Samsung recalled the phones is because Apple fans paid the news industry money to make the problems a big deal.

No, the batts did not explode, they got overheated and burned, AND there were only a few cases, I have one working just fine to this very day, many people talk about things they dont know as all the baboons repeating that the all note 7 exploded

Huawei honor 10

And then the note 10 Pro is rumoured to get it ;)

I think this was a very pretty phone, especially in black. And I have to add something, because with the fanboy wars today, you are not allowed to like multiple phone brands. But I personally like Samsung (and others) even though I use an iPhone :)

You have to order the Galaxy FE from South Korea because Samsung decided to make it just a Korean thing in order to avoid another battery fiasco. Otherwise, go for it if you want to.

You can get the galaxy FE which is the same thing, but with the faults corrected. Though its a bit hard to find.

Wow, what a phone. I love the screen size and the built in home heating system really sets the phone high above the competition leaving them smouldering in ashes. This phone is hot stuff and will likely light up many peoples lives. In summary, gives you more bang for you buck.

Why even keep using it? It's not getting software updates and you could've exchanged it for free through almost every carrier or Samsung themselves. What reason did you have to keep using it over getting something else?

overall phone specification is good but a small default is we can't take this phone in airlines. Because of this phone is banned for airlines.

The note 7 was a victim of exagerated and in many cases fabricated half lies, other devices have had the same issues, but being a very much expected flagship device from the biggest manufacturer, the note 7 suffered exagerately, I got my note 7 on aug 27 2016, and it is working as the first day

I have been lucky enough to own a Note 7 Edge for over 2 years now and I have not had any problems with it. It is the best, most versatile , awesome piece of gorgeous looking equipment that I have ever owned. It does everything I need and then it looks so cool as well. I have just compared the new Note 8 with it and I notice the battery is more powerful in the older Note 7. I do not think there is enough of a difference or changes to justify me changing up just yet.

I have nothing against it. It just the price too expensive for an old refurbished and resurrected phone. It was literally listed as 'Discontinued' on gsmarena and other tech website. Its value should not exceed $500. Newer model with good reputation value like S8 is not too far price at $720 the lowest compare to refurbished Note7 allegedly $620. Resale value of refurbished Note7 should cut the price as much as 72% at most according to appraisal evaluation.

It is named Note7R. Released in June and priced at $620. I recommend not to buy.

Using the Note 4 now for 3 years, it gets dated, but still works fine. I got a second battery 6 months ago, because the old one lost 50% capacity, lasting 5 hours light work or just 1 when gaming. I so wanted the note7. I have the money set aside for it.

Note_Lover

Samsung should consider releasing a note of this shape and look, then name it differently. This look is too good to just disappear. More so, I'll love to see an upgrade of Samsung Note to most recent features but maintain its uniqueness.

Shadocx

So are you planning to keep the Note 4 for 2 years? or even more?

Anonymous

I too have a Xperia Z3 and after @ 2 years the battery started to show wear. I went with the Note 4. As the specs, not including the camera, are very close to the Z3. Note 4 is a little bigger, which is obvious. But my choice was based on the fact that you can replace the battery in the Note 4.

Shadocx

I have a Sony Xperia Z3 and the battery started getting bad (getting half of the usual Screen On Time now) after 2 years, knowing alot of people buy a Note every year, they don't care. Buying a battery with bigger capacity doesn't mean the cells inside it are more compressed? Pressing some buttons simultaneously is hard?

Shadocx

I would rather buy this instead of the S8... I don't like the S8 design and colors.

AnonD-1385

To DZENAN: I have a S5 and in all honesty I have only opened the back about five times in the 2 years and 5 months of owning this phone. It's still as firm as anything out there. I have a very protective case and usually have no need to take off the case unless I'm cleaning the inner part of the case and the areas of the phone which the case covers. All in all I'm ok with my removable battery. I'm still using the original battery that came in the box and it's holding it's charge nicely...though obviously not as long as it did before. When the battery is fully charged I usually get 2 hours plus of On Screen Time by the time it reaches the 50% mark. Not bad for a nearly two and a half year battery. I hate the fact that most of these newer phones have built in batteries just because they are what? Metal or glass? Glass doesn't even make sense for phones because glass breaks and the average consumer drop their phones. I know someone with a glass phone and the back doesn't look nice anymore due to cracks after just one fall. Nokia have been manufacturing metal phones for a long time and they still provided removable batteries think the E-Series, Nokia E51, Nokia E71 and even feature phones like the Nokia 6300. Those Nokia phones were solidly built even though the back covers were removable. Today manufacturers can still do it but maybe they have ulterior motives like charging customers to replace a built in battery or just have the customer purchase a newer phone all together. I came across someone who had to change their phone because after three years their battery died. If my S5 battery should fail me after three years I will just purchase a brand new one and easily put it in. Removable batteries are a plus anyway you look at it.

How many components will be reuse? I doubt the C9 and following will use the Note 7 components to reduce loses.

if you noticed, the Icon on the Note 7 is similar with a new android Nougat on either flagship samsung phone like S7, but Note 7 at this point is Marshmallow, which is many parts of Note 7 has been moved for Nougat Update. especially at the Blue Coral color, now was available on the Galaxy S7 edge. :') many good advantage from you has been taken cause Note 7 was R.I.P..

when you're turn on this Note 7 and the lock screen display will appear with 3 different password at one purpose... - Iris Scanner (automatically) - Fingerprint Scanner (automatically) - Password (PIN, Patern, etc) ...just like open a Bank Storage :D

wham

yes indeed... they said there's short circuiting parts on battery terminals but it seems to be wrong. same problem already experienced in S4 having higher PPI display, additional specs that require more power juice. if the battery is overloaded... like normal wire cables, extension cords and power outlets at home... handling or flowing more wattage than their specified power rating.... for sure it will heat up, fires out or for battery having enclosure and chemical inside will explode!

AnonD-652982

This was one of the best smartphones ever, and yet the battery had to explode, I am so sorry this had to happen!

boomba

yes

Dzenan

Phones that have a non-removaable battery are usaly more durable, water resistant, and when battery dies you need to take it to service, or risk it by opening it yourself. On the other side the phones with a removable battery have week protection on the back, the cover usally pops out very easy, and that can cause damage to the back portion of the phone. Just go with the phone you like and that suits your need's.

Cons of Internal Battery - When the battery is no longer good, so is the phone - Harder to Manually Reset phone - Can't get Upgrade Battery for Bigger Capacity Pros of External Battery - If phone outlast Battery, then you can simply buy a Genuine Battery Replacement - Opposite of Cons of Internal Battery

Samsung must consider bringing a Stylus aspect of the Notes. The New Note does have and I'm considering going to LG, just because of the Stylus.

I suggest that Samsung produce a replacement batteries then doing software update for the remainimg note 7 devices that are still being used in differant countries and this to be done only by authorized Samsung mobile dealers according to note 7 users orders

there's talk that samsung is contemplating refurbishing the note 7 and selling at a much lower price. ill be waiting for this to materialize and will definitely buy that refurbished note 7. i had my note 7 for a month then had to return due to the recall and i am missing my note 7. do hope samsung considers that option im sure a lot will also buy the refurbished note 7.

DNeighbor

The exploding ingredients are the chemicals of the battery. The battery is the one exploding. It doesn't take a genius. The tightness with no wiggle space pressures the battery when it expands from heat generated from heavy use and abuses of fast charging. I'll be keeping my Note 3 a lot longer than I thought I would be. The battery tech of a removable battery, and sealed one are the SAME. For the last 3 years, all of my 6 original Note 3 batteries have expanded outwards, due to very heavy use. Then imagine that happening inside a sealed battery device. The removable battery system is very practical and much more efficient. 1. Better battery cycling and thereby longer life. 2. Seconds to get a full charge back than wait 2 hours to charge. 3. No need to carry the charger or a heavier power bank. 4. You have a choice of a third party extended battery, even trippling the capacity. 5. Safer to charge on a cradle than on the device as about 10% of batteries have chances to be unstable. 6. Reduces the chances of theft while charging outside the house. 7. An extra battery is smaller and thinner to carry inside your pocket. 8. When your battery finally gives up, you just buy a new one. 9. No need to pay for more expensive internal battery and wait for days to have it installed. 10. Your device becomes practically wireless without the need to plug in via the micro USB most of the time if you just charge the spent battery via the battery cradle.

Imperator Neubaticus

I sound like a broken record. Wait for the official investigation result. If it happens to be not related to the battery, then leave the internet forever.

If the Note7 had no problems with exploding batteries, then explain why Samsung STOPPED all production and sales? Now we have reports of S6, S7 and iPhones exploding.

Imperator Neubaticus

The sealed battery is not the problem. It never was. Otherwise, you wouldn't be as confident buying virtually every other flagship currently in the market, not to mention the iphones, which always had sealed batteries.

DNeighbor

Yes, NOTHING comes close to what the Note7 had. Since my telco had no stocks of 256 GB iPhone 7 Plus, I'm not pushing it. Note 3 with 10,000 mAh still gets me through the day without charging to I get home. I'm waiting for better devices they should never explode. I'll wait a few MONTHS to see what happens before getting anything with a sealed battery.

AnonD-367917

brilliant - wish I'd held out hope for THAT solution. (was written as a reply to a comment by ReazDipu where they flashed the ROM and kept the phone intact!!) (when my first Note 7 got the battery limiting update, I returned it, albeit unwillingly. When I knew the second 'batch' would get the same lockdown, or worse, after global recall, I handed it back unwillingly) The sales rep at my local telco store insisted that the iPhone7 Plus was the closest equivalent (other than the S7's)- to which I replied "No- nothing comes close". Having used the Note 7 extensively for several months, it is the best phone the world had as yet seen. And an A8 with a stylus isn't the same thing (or whatever stopgap comes to market shortly; it is a VERY different beast). Haven't seen a camera module or screen come close to touching it, and as for weatherproofing and the cool stuff the stylus could do (translate, animated gifs etc...).. won't go back to using my older Notes... Kinda lost all love for mobile phone tech since having had this beautiful beast. (twice) Got the smallest phone I could find at the telco.. If I couldn't have the features I might as well have 'convenience'. (in this instance being a tiny form factor with a lot of battery life and none of the android/telco/specific model phone update issues that kept my Note 4 often ten months behind present security updates....)

Now that samsung know that people love the dual curve design, they should just blow the note 8 to a full 6 inch screen. It will still be narrower than any 6 inch device out there yet wide enough to accomodate even a 4000mah battery without squeezing it too much hence the explosions. Cheers!

None of a single phablet in the market is close to the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Because of some non-sense rumors, Samsung decided to exchange these phablets without considering users monetary losses. In a simple way Samsung Galaxy Note 7 when purchased it was CAD1050 + Tax for 64GB inbuilt memory and 256GB expandable slot. Now what they are offering as exchange is Galaxy S7 Edge, which has current market price is CAD900+Tax for 32GB inbuilt memory and 200gb expandable slot. Now in the exchange offer what Samsung is offering is Galaxy S7 Edge + CAD100 in other word less memory internal/external and CAD900+CAD100=CAD 1000 If they care about customer security then why should customer has to suffer price loss and quality difference by losing extra CAD150 from their own pocket. (CAD100 for loss of 32GB internal memory and CAD50 is the net loss if they exchange Note 7 to Galaxy S7 Edge) Now my honest request to Samsung as loyal customer is, we all are happy with Note 7 with our own risk but we all also want to support the law, by returning this Mandatory recall of Note 7 in the exchange of nether money nor by downgrading our phones, but in the exchange of the credit Voucher which should be exchanged with your next phablet release i.e. Note 8. I hope all I am asking is ethical solution where nobody lose anything. As a customer our right for the best phablet we love to have, and as Global company loyal customer base for the company. Hope to hear very positive announcement from the Samsung in this matter. One more thing in South Korea Samsung already announced to exchange Note 7 with Note 8. So if it happens there then why note here...☺ Best Regards, Vijay Bang

I was a Samsung fan. I have used Note 1,2,3,4. This time I bought my note 7 in Vancouver, Canada when it released in the first day. I travel alot between Hong Kong and Vancouver. When the news announced Hong Kong airport bans Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on all flights to and from city, I was unable to bring it back to Vancouver to refund my note 7. I had no choice so I refunded my note 7 in Hong Kong on Nov 6. I have waited for more than a month and I still haven't gotten any call back about my money back. They just took back the phone without giving my money back. I'm very disappointed about the call center. I called them 3 times and keep saying people will contact me shortly but none contact me at all. Please don't buy Samsung product anymore. Worst service ever.

Galaxy s8 and s8 edge will be released early 2017 (I think February-mars). Gonna buy the note 8. Love the 5.7 inch display.

Samsung has to remember the time when they were king of phones aka smartphones, fast reliable machines. In latest few generations they keep toying with microSD or no replaceable battery. Samsung keep something in mind: your are where you are because your phones were smart and expandable (microSD and battery could be replaced) - without these qualities a Galaxy is just a simple iPhone aka not interested !!!

I am so happy for Samsung. My Story.... Last year I got a S6 Edge when I was in Africa and then the next day I came to India. Upon begining to use the device I realized the display is getting hairline scratches just by keeping it in a pocket without any keys or any sharp objects. Latter I checked on google and learnt itz a known issue with 20% S6 Edge device. I contacted Smsung Service Centre in India and they were not willing to help claiming that I have to contact Samsung Africa. That has upset me to the core. I am not going back to Afrixa so how can I contact them. I stuck a tamper glass and the flip case to prevent further damage. I hate tamper glass on my phone. After few weeks I realized battery drain issue. Till now I have to charge the phone 3 times a day. Samsung did not help me fix my US $760 phone and now they had a loss of billion $ for the Note7. Serves them just right. I am happy with my iphone 7 plus. S6 edge is just a secondary phone..

I have no problem with my Samsung Galaxy Note 7 at all. Its a superb mobile in all its functions. I sincerely believe what we had heard about a dozen or so mobile burning in the USA is either a bunch of bad products made from a specific factory or a mixture of that and a deliberate and over blown out trade war by Samsung rivalries in the USA. I have my Note 7 and is working nicely! Bought it since April 2016, NO PROBLEMS at all! Thumb up, Samsung!

Not onlu 100, 100s of unpublished note 7 burnings were happening . That's why Samsung was bound to kill note 7. To not loss it's quality reputation. Note 7 was a black spot in Samsung's long time quality standards.

Dear Samsung, for all the Note 7 lovers, Atleast give an official confirmation that it's future brother is coming soon!.. Well as I believe I'm just waiting again to go and grab the next one...Now it's already been a long time for me...Which is nothing but a mixed feeling of confusion,impatience ..But still waiting.Belive many doing same around the world... Still ready for to buy the next one!!Better say, can't wait to buy the next one! So only question is : HOW LONG??

AnonD-579440

Agreed i would not take an s7e as a replacement. Maybe if they offered a 128g note 5 & the 250 cash plus what accessories ive bought id do it but atm im keeping my note7. Bezt pho e ever & thats why they decided to make sure it didnt dominate the market. The exploding thing is all crap. They can overheat just as any phone can. The battery can be made to catch fire if you abuse any phone. Funny the reports of fires stopped once it was pulled hey? Operation kill note 7 successful. They have almost proved it was a definite agenda by several scources to make sure the note 7 failed. So much ahead of other phones on the market.such a shame to think of them all getting destroyed. Id kill for a 128g 6gram version from china though.

AnonD-579440

After the s7? Cmon the note 7 bliws away the s7 even though they share processors the grace ui on n7 & all the extra features on touchwiz & s pen make it leaps &bounds Bove the s7e. I will be holding on to my exy version. It was only killed off tto szve samsung mobile from being banned on flights. There was a lot of dodgey claims of fires & verry convenient places to set one off to get media coverage like the plane etc. Its been proven there was a definate agenda to end the note & make sure media kelt up with the bad press. Supposed defective inits were probably abused in some way. My n7 never heats highest has been 38degrees c. Best phone ever by far. Willing to hold on to mine even at 60% battery as i purchased the back pack wiresess charging back.

It's sad Samsung couldn't still figure out what caused the battery of Note 7 to burst into flames. My gut is telling me that it has more features then the battery could handle (not the battery's own problem as they have tried changing that and still the same problem). You know, just like a power strip with too many devices (or Amps) that could cause to heat the power strip to the point where it can catch fire. What do you say Sammy?!?! How about trying it with the battery of Note 5 as it is already tested to be free of such problem. Not sure if they the same mAh though??? Just a thought...

I've come to express my sadness at discontinuation of this sensational handset. I exchanged my Note 7 with the S7 Edge, which is not too bad but Note experience is different. I really miss my note and regret that the battery fiasco took away all the shine that his handset deserved.

Did you notice how as soon as Note7 was cancelled, suddenly there are no more reports of exploding Note7s, even though a lot of them are still used because people won't return them? This is all very suspicious, as if somebody on purpose made a few phones explode and then paid the media to cover it extensively And the strangest of all, it happened to the best Samsung phone that would surely destroy all the competition this year.. And since it was the best phone, it also had the best quality control. Something like this was much more likely to happen to some cheaper phone, if it was really due to quality control But this was all orchestrated

I was really lucky. I got my note 7 the day they came out. Then 2 days later I dropped it and broke the screen. I called to get a new one through insurance bit they said they couldn't because it was recalled. So I went to t mobile and they told me to call samsung direct. I called samsung and they said they could fix it for $230 so I said ok and paid over the phone. Right before I sent it out I called samsung one more time to ask if I send it in with the s pen or not because they told me to take the SIM tray out too. Good thing I called because they told me they started an exchange program where I could go to my local t mobile and exchange my note 7 for a brand new one regardless of the condition including the broken screen. I guess they did this to avoid liability issues like if my phone burnt my house down it would cost them more then a phone. Also they gave me a 256 gb SD card for my troubles. The note 7 works great the iris scanner is cool and the built in optimization software keeps my phone running fast and alerts me as to what apps are draining my battery and by how much like it says Facebook is using %2.2 per hour. I've never experienced a better phone.

SAMSUNG JUST LOST ANOTHER FRIEND...... Got the Note 7 beginning September. Very thrilled to replace my Note 4 as the Note 5 was not available in Europe. Soon trouble began and was asked to ask for a replacement shortly after spending 2 days to personalize it. Then came the battery charging limitation to 60%. Bottom line, I accepted to have it replaced. Another 2 days to personalize it... Then came the new wave of horror. I refused to capitulate as my phone never gave trouble. And Samsung came back yet once more by reimposing the 60% battery charging limitation. At the same time other trouble started to appear such as a second screen imposed over the first one, loss of contacts in the memory cache, etc etc. Dont know if this was accidental..... Bottom line I decided to hand it over and get my money back after refusing the offer for an S7. After all who changes a Mercedes S series for an E series?!!!! My next choice: iphone 7 plus. Samsung just lost a long standing friend, so did Android

Sounds like you wont be contented either phone you buy. The 7 edge that you own is only less than a year old and you're already looking for an upgrade. By all practicalities, its just a note 7 without the S pen and smaller screen. And it wont explode. Learn to wait at least a year for an upgrade.

Pedro-TheNeighbor

This is the Galaxy Note lineup, not any other Android device. It's packed with features that Apple has finally copied features that Android had for YEARS. The only thing left for iPhones to have now is the ability of recording video in STEREO and not just MONO audio. You're comparing your iPhone to the Note 4 - how about comparing it to the higher rated water-resistant S7/S7 Edge, which have the World's best camera system on a mobile device next to the Google Pixel right now, determined by experts. Since the iPhone 7 seems to be in the same boat as the Note7 in terms of possible explosion due to overheat, a Note7 is further up in terms of superior screen technology , triple microphones, and the fact that it had an active Wacom digitizer pen with 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity. "fast camera with unlimited Burstshots and absolute zero Chain shutter lag at sufficient light"? We have that for YEARS. "a camera placed into the corner"? Who wants a wobble while using the device on a flat table? "horizontal homescreen" - We can set that easily with and app. And optical zoom on the iP7+ is just 2x with just f/2.8 aperture with no OIS. Looks like you haven't even tried using the S7/S7 Edge camera. It beats any iPhone camera in terms of photo quality and fast focusing - and yeah, it record in stereo audio in ALL resolutions up to 4K. Smartphones are tools like pocket tools - I get the one with more features I actually use. We don't have to even deal with iTunes to sync content.

TechLord777

Why are not all phones water-protected? The Galaxy Note 4 deserves water-protection, but the iPhone not quite. Why? I know, that's evil, but I love feeling superior to others. Now, phones that are able to record videos at 2160p (e.g. S5 and Z3 Compact) are easily affordable. Just a few years ago, you got 720p-phones such as S3 Mini for the same price. So why doesn't an iPhone deserve being water-resistant? Here is the real reason: Here is my statement to Daniel's posts: I am no iPhone-hater. I see everything in an objective way. I do not care about brand names, but about practical features and real capabilities. I like getting things done and being able to do more with a device with wider feature range. But many iPhone-users just buy that device due to it's hype and some other ridiculous and powerless reasons. Not because it can record 1080p at 120fps, has live photos (WITH SOUND) and a Force-Touch screen, fast camera with unlimited Burstshots and absolute zero Chain shutter lag at sufficient light, AEB mode (I am not sure about that one, but bracketing shots are better than HDR, because they contain key information needed for HDR but also proper EXiF-information), a camera placed into the corner (a middle/center camera, as known from Samsung, LG and HTC is very bulky, and all middle-camera users wish a corner camera in their subconsciousness), TouchID (single-tap and hold to reset screen timeout countdown, double-tap for screen downshift (to reach the upper screen, while holding the device in one hand), horizontal homescreen and practlcally optical zoom (7+ only) on the plus models, but just because of their sleek profiled typical iDesign including the iLogo. Just a status symbol? But if it starts to rain, having a Water-resistant device is very plaesent and gives me a status symbol for practicallity, not for hype-hunter. Additionally, a thicker phone also gives me a status symbol for somebody, who never sacrifices practical features for design. That is the status symbol, that I really want, because it relatively gives me practical advantages.

Because of Samsung's horrible idea to call the 2016's Galaxy None „Note 7“ instead of Note 6, the digit is no longer equal to the final digit of the year number. And next year, everybody will confuse the Note 8 with Note 8.0 from early 2013. Well done.

It was the phone design that was the problem actually. It was just too narrow they had to squeeze the battery too hard which led to negative and positive cathodes coming into contact hence short circuit! So they should either widen the next design or just use a smaller battery.

Lucky you. I was only given the battery backpack and a minimal casing. Don't forget to keep the S Pen - it works a hell of a lot better than previous pens on my old Note 3. 256GB microSD is something, and I'm looking for one I can locally buy. Looks like another year with the Note 3.

Thanks Samsung, will be returning the phone for a full refund but will keep the charger, headphones and 256GB card... probably worth about $250... for my immense pain and suffering :-)

No more note phones again samsungs is planning to focus on the S series as the only flagship every year like HTC and Apple

Note 7 futer update

I am a big fan of the galaxy note series because of its USP . I wanted to share opinion on adding an extra feature on to the stylus . I have never used the stylus as a remote to capture photos on the note . I hope samsung works out on providing remote support in its upcoming note release. Thank you.

I support Samsung. I just returned the replaced Note 7 at their Mirdiff City Center shop, Dubai, the service was excellent, got the Note 7 replaced with S7 Edge, for the price difference got Harman Kardon speaker go+play (price about US$399) and wireless charger. I will definitely buy new note 8 when its launched. Each and every person returning Note 7 was sad - we had no other option. message to Samsung Co. - DON'T KILL THE NOTE SERIES

The Note series might go away, but the Notes will always live in many buyers' hearts the same way Nokia and Nexus still is. I didn't realize how beautiful it is using a Note after getting a free hand me down Note 3. I also had experience handling a Note II from years back. The Note 3 has given me ZERO issues. It is a Verizon branded stuck on Android 5.0 (not even 5.1) Lollipop and the phone is smooth. I don't see all this TouchWiz lag people keep talking about. The only thing I don't like is the notification shade. It has a light hairline crack and a few scuffs on the bottom sides but Note 3 works like a charm and definitely holds up very well after three years. I feel Samsung peaked in design with the Note 5 and 7 but overall practical features and durability with the 3 & 4. The Note 3 and 4 holds up better against the iPhone 5s and 6 Plus than the S4 and S5 do. Never let what you love go away. Your love for Note should never fade. Long live the Note! Note7 (August 17, 2016- October 10, 2016) Note family (2011-Forever In Our Hearts) Note7 was the best smartphone of 2016. Note series was the best smartphone series ever.

I'm one of the hardcore Note user (except for the half-baked Note.5) commentators who got the Note7 for 45 days, and fully gave it back after the warnings. It is NOT a good idea to continue using it because sooner or later, Samsung will give a kill command rendering it useless. Even if you root it and use a custom ROM, it's still dangerous. The battery is too compressed, and it's the pressure that's making it short-circuiting. All the fancy features are useless, if the device has the tendency to overheat and explode. You can either still exchange it with at least the S7 Edge (with some cash back), or get an entire refund. Samsung has done it before with water-resistance, and removable battery. All they need is to up the design. I'd rather it being 1 or 2mm thicker than something with a sealed battery that will eventual expand.

in my country samsung was offering free flight tickets if we buy note 7 and now they transferred the offer to Note 5 & S7 Edge.....we returned a year back really sad about happened to note 7 :( let's see whats up next with S8 variants & if samsung will continue the with the note series again in august 2017 or will cancel this series!

I love Samsung a lot , A company since 1938. The Note 7 was the best phone but it burst into flames. I hope that Samsung Will Continue its Note Series. And I would like to see the next Samsung Galaxy Note , that must be Note 8 . Hope so Samsung Will not Discontinue its Samsung Note series, which is the best series, and only series with a stylus, which none other brand gives. Also ,Samsung is only the one , who provides Super Amoled Screens which i like the most.Apple Imports From Samsung , Samsung Batteries, etc and dosent give much good specifications. Samsung Shall Continue, and shall be a nice Company Again

It's true that it is a pity that so many phones had to be returned because of a few being defective. This N7 was great. But for those keeping theirs, just think of one thing (if not for safety). This phone will not be supported by Samsung anymore, meaning there wont be any firmware development (at least official FW), so your are going to be stuck with that V6.0.1 that it came with..... :(

Im planning to do the same thing as well but unfortunately, it didn't reach here in our city. Im stock at my current phone

StJonG

Honestly, it depends what you want. If the waterproofing is a big deal to you then S7 is your best bet. I wouldn't go Edge--too much accidental screen touch and the flat back makes it feel uncomfortable in the hand vs the Note 7--but YMMV. If the S-Pen is your jam then you'll have to go back to a Note 5 but that's still a pretty great device. Or if you are into pure horsepower I would go OnePlus 3. Cheap, solid, and blazing fast. You'll have to be okay with 1080p and no waterproofing, though.

The only thing I wish Samsung did was to sell the 128GB version of the Note.5 not only in South Korea. In keeping the S Pen of the Note7, or swiftly getting the separate S Pen for some $30 - yeah, Note 5 would be a CONSOLATION replacement.

Pedro-TheNeighbor

Yeah, I don't have to buy another accessory, having to charge it, and do acrobatic configurations so that I have to temporarily transfer the media I want to watch or listen to media on the Note.5. LOL. It's just too silly to think I'd have to do that every day. Whereas my 128 GB microSD even with the 64 GB internal of the Note7. It's not only all entertainment.

64GB Note 5 is available in most countries. I feel sorry for your country. But Note 7 is already dead R.I.P.! Wireless SD card readers and HDDs are available so no worry for expansion of 64GB storage. And it is not EXPLODING!

Not when you only have some 25GB of user's internal storage to play with... Remember, 64GB Note.5 is uncommon, and even that is not enough. I have 120GB to use with, with a 128GB microSD card. Sticking in an OTG everytime I'd like to access media is like using an iPhone...

Funny how the almost daily reports of explosions have stopped, once the device was finally discontinued.

Julliard

Agree. No sd card but OTG still helps a lot. Especially the mini pendrive-like usb.

Pedro-TheNeighbor

Smart is offering the Note 4 for $25 monthly. I've tested the S Pen of the Note 4, and not much of a difference with my Note 3's. All I needed was the S Pen of the Note7 - which I kept for its better pressure sensitivity and precision. Not much reason for me to be locked with a for two years on hardware that's now two years. Then again, the idea of stuffing in more battery to a thin body that could potentially short-circuit is not something I would not like for the next Galaxy Note. I really hope Samsung goes back to removable battery. I do miss the glance function of the Nite7 - something I realize while try to reference something while drawing. And I really miss the fast-launching, fast-focusing camera.

Imperator Neubaticus

Note 4 > note 5 though

Imperator Neubaticus

The note 5 kinda sucks tbh. And that's coming from a note fan. Im thinking of getting the j7 prime since it's less than half the price of the note 7. When the note 8 (or whatever it will be called) comes out next year, i'll be sure to get that one.

Sorry, I already requested a termination and return of the Note7 after a 3rd report on the exploding replacement units. I totally went back to the Note 3. Still have MORE features than the Note.5. I got a chance to actually get the Note.5 at $25 cash out on my renewal of my plan. I'm not going to bite.

I really loved using the Note7. The very tight sealed battery is a bad idea... Even smaller than the iPhone7 Plus, yet iP7+ has a smaller battery. I returned mine, and kept all the accessories including the S Pen. The new S Pen has 4096 levels of pressure and works very nicely with my old Note 3 - it fits the pen silo. I can do more refined drawings with it. Keeping the Note7 is foolish, dangerous and selfish. It has a very high potential of exploding compared to any other make. It's just too bothersome to keep thinking that you have a chance to suffer third-degree burns. In the end, Samsung will have a forced update that will render it useless. Have it exchanged or have your refund now.

I will keep using this Excellence N7 No upgrade software not an issue. It just performance brilliantly. At least it takes few months before Samsung eventuallly decide to kill it remotely.

Out of the 90 odds incident happen, honestly i just dont know how many is genuine a case. ,,,,,, why majority incident happen in US is good to ponder about.

AnonD-598236

I don't believe all the conspiracy theories with this, the greatest phone ever made, not sure if I'm going to trade my replacement note 7 or not. I'm most likely going to keep it until it breaks(I have insurance on it at best buy, wonder if I'll get the next android update lol). I firmly believe that after one or two had issues abroad us greedy Americans started doing everything possible to replicate issue and go for the quick $25k settlement. That's just my opinion. I did read somewhere that about half of the reported incidences were fake. The most disturbing news of all this was Samsung killing the Note line altogether. That would be rather unfortunate. I've now had a Note, Note2, Note 4 and now Note 7. My son has followed right along with me however his Note 4 didn't make it as long as mine did and had to upgrade to a Note 5 last Christmas. Should I decide to trade it in I suppose to I'll be between a S7 edge or a Note 5. It does appear that the S7 is only .2 inches smaller, I suppose I can live with that. Any other suggestion?

AnonD-598240

I still love my Note 7 (Silver) to this day. I will not return it to Samsung unless they actually kill it in my possession. They already limited my battery by firmware, and I'll reset the firmware soon, but even still it runs all day long and I really enjoy the use of this phone. Not one bit afraid.

Does the s7 edge have the same type of exploding bomb battery as the note7? Was thinking of upgrading scary will go back to HTC 1 next after my s6 unless Samsung can garentee no more scary exploding phones.

Apple is justified but Samsung and oppo ? Are u serious ? First of all oppo sucks rly hard because of their socs (CPU and GPU are just horrible even on their latest and best phones) which affects the phone performance directly , they only thing they care about is the fingerprint sensor speed and the selfie quality which is pretty retarded that's for oppo and choosing Samsung there is questionable as well because we all know Samsung it simply sucks because of them thinking that they are the only good phone manufacturer out there, ridiculously over pricing their phone and stealing their Design language from apple ,cmon your better than that XD

After Note5 received Nougat update it will have all the Note7 features. Except for iris scanner of course. Just wait a little bit longer. Dont rush Samsung. After all of this happening you should have learnt not to rush Samsung anymore. They rushed, they give you poop device. They slow, they give you a very nice update; eventually.

I am a Note addict; Note 4(Stolen), Note 8, Note 12.2. Dilemma, what now? Samsung have nobody told you that in times like this you MUST keep your customers informed every step of the way or are you happy if your loyal customer base will reluctantly move elsewhere? Besides keeping your customers informed my suggestion would be, urgently bring out a Note 5 128g to provide your customers with a sensible alternative and please don't even mention the ridiculous 32g or even 64g versions.... unfortunately Samsung is renowned for not listening to their customers so I sadly have little hope of any positive response from Samsung.

Imperator Neubaticus

Man it's so difficult to find a replacement for this phone. Nothing else comes close :( contemplating note 5 but it's still inferior. :(

I was very thankful I didn't downgrade my SAFE Note 5 to UNSAFE Note 7. I can still enjoy travelling on a plane with my phone. Taking photographs of scenery above the ground, listening to my favorite music files, playing games. No worry with my 64GB Note 5.

AnonD-588935

Reports say Note 7 ban in flights will be imposed from next week, not from today or tomorrow. So it should be okay for this week. When you land immediately contact nearby official Samsung store or customer care and they should return you money. Or somehow (via mail, phone or visit there) contact their head office customer service. Also mention your circumstance there. If you still fail to do that, throw the battery out before your return flight. When did you buy it? You shouldn't have bought it after 35 reports of exploding. Remember one thing, Samsung sucks. I hate Samsung androids from long ago. And now I see another reason to dislike this brand.

US Government has banned carrying any Note 7 on any flight even in power off mode. I bought Note 7 in Dubai and came to US for a visit. Now what do I do? Samsung US no one is bothered to help as its not a US device and I cannot fly out of US with this device. So basically Samsung expects you to bin $800 phone and treat it as mistake of a customer for having bought a Note 7. Insider job or otherwise, Forum please see how Samsung is treating its loyal customers who bought top of the line premium phone.

Chuck

It is a conspiracy, an inside job or phenomenal incompetance on the part of Samsung. These things just dont happen. I am no Samsung fan, but Samsung knows its trade and makes some "far out" phones. I am a Sony guy, but exploding non removable batts are not Samsungs forte. Modern phones have overload protection, as you have pointed out. The Note 7 is not a whole world away from the S7 or Note 5 or any other phones. A poorly performing phone with teething troubles is one thing, not an exploding one. Li ions have been around for years and the Dell and Toshiba incidents were in the eay days. A lot of work has gone into making batts safe. Even oven like iPads and HPs havent suffered this fate. Think of a high end Europen or Japanese luxury car that explodes each time you crank the engine. internal combustion engines are not Improvised explosive devices. A faulty airbag or fuel line or brake, maybe. But an exploding engine. No Way. Or does Samsung source batts from GS Yuasa, ( remember the 787 dreamliner fires ) Hope Samsung sets the competition on FIRE!! This is a North Korean attack on South Korea. Samsung should get a PI to get to the bottom of this.

Yes, it does feel like a conspiracy to discredit Samsung. Most (all?) incidents seem to originate from US locations or US airlines and reported by US media. Modern devices usually have overload circuit protection to cut off the battery if there is any problem so it's very suspicious to me. This could be some kind of economic war between nations / tech giants. I'm waiting for further clarification from Samsung

AnonD-597829

That proves I'm right and the battery explodes only in America, not in the Asian market. Another reason to think American companies are involved in this explosion issue.

AnonD-597829

The more I dig into this issue, it looks like an insider job caused this due to the shrinking iPhone sales and the overall bad sales of Lenovo Motorola Unit. Looks like all the companies see Samsung as the only company making money on this business and want to give Samsung a taste of how it feels to live in a market that is shrinking globally. A midrange smartphone of $200 in 2016 does what most flagships did in late 2013 early 2014, so consumers are not purchasing flagships that cost more than $600. Galaxy Note 7 could be an exception, so thats why they hired a skilled person to work for Samsung and cause this issue. History will prove this was an insider job caused by the competition.

do you have a source for this? I was under the impression that the problem was the battery size being too small for the handset and was therefore being crushed (causing the explosions) hence the replacement handsets were still broken.

Why are phones exploding all of a sudden? Didn't the same thing happened to some iPhone 7 users? Have they all ready found out what's causing the phone to explode?

Company has already warned and instructed to turn off the device and return it. But if you ignore and keep it, it is your IRRESPONSIBILITY of carrying potentially dangerous content for self and others. Quite possible that after deadline for return, if someone carries the device company will not be responsible, insurance companies too will deny any compensation ( since legally you are supposed to return but you didn't.it's a deliberate action of incidence rather than an accident). No law covers / compensates for deliberate illegal actions,when there is an official statement to surrender the potentially hazardous material. OEM like Samsung has list of IMEI of all it's devices. They will surely switch off all the unreturned devices in wild using OTA protocol. And if you feel you are using one after above incidence,then probably it will be a replica ( not original) that you are using and neither Samsung nor anyone else will help you in case of any problems since it's not a legal instrument.

Pedro-TheNeighbor

"..cud flash a custom rom on Note7 and keep it going if they are not having any issues of battery overheating or other battery complication"???? That's a very irrational, and irresponsible advice. The battery was larger than the designed chasis, so the battery was compacted. This results in a possible short-circuit situation when the battery expands. It's dangerous. Owners of the Note7 who are thinking of keeping it are in high risk once that sealed and tight compacted battery starts expanding. As someone like me who have actually used and enjoyed using the Note7 for 45 days, I absolutely advice people to return it. It's just too short-sighted and shellfish to keep the Note7, even "if they are not having any issues of battery overheating or other battery complication".

I wud have very happy if i wud have been a hypocrite and cynical person like few ppl here.I think u know who all are those ppl i am talking abt. but I really feel bad & sorry for Note7 cause it was also on my buying list inspite of me not liking its camera and edges much..but now lets see what price does lg v20 gets launched here in india that will majorly decide whether i will keep my note5 or buy LG V20 OR THE IPHONE 7 PLUS 128GB.

AnonD-100398

It seems that every major smartphone OEM is just trying to take advantage of Note7's situation & pricing there new smartphones mainly flagship phablets rediculasly high in India ,In the mean while LG V20 says "wait for me i am also coming with a 78k price","now howwzz that"??? Lol LG will also go crazy abt pricing the LG V20..LOL The best thing to do for people who got the recalled note7 cud flash a custom rom on Note7 and keep it going if they are not having any issues of battery overheating or other battery complications...

Really really upset about note 7 although I'm not a Samsung user. The funny thing is that last year I wanted to buy note 5 but unfortunately wasn't available in eu. So I expected note 7 but after that seems I have to wait a little longer. I hope Samsung not stop the note series. Finishing just want to say to all those who are really enjoying and making fun about this Samsung issue that they really dont love smartphones. Actually they love only only a brand.

@nima - Yes. The Galaxy Note 7 is dead. Some rumors have also claimed that Samsung may even kill off the Note brand, although, that's unlikely at this point.

I really honestly and truly believe that Apple have 'planted' a bug in the Note 7's software. It's ridiculous for Samsung to 'slip up' like this. I love my Note 4 and am really disappointed the 7 has been discontinued. I'd be looking for a Gremlin!!!!

Samsung will eventually brick all Note7's that aren't returned. If one explodes and causes damage they will get sued, they don't want that. Return it and get your money back. Buy an S7 edge, it's essentially the same phone.

I had all kind of Samsung Galaxy Notes till Samsung Galaxy Note 4 including, and I was eager to get the next Note as the 5,but I discovered it is far not I was looking for. The Note 7, was an interesting choice but not what I expecteded. I nice gadget but not a "hit", and the battery problems killed totally my interest for good. Samsung made huge mistakes reducing the sampling time, leaving the FM radio, and the camera is not even a perfect one. Samsung unfortunately is losing the trust and subsequently the market share.

The note line will still trump anything apple will put out, no doubt about that. As for me, ill be holding out on 2016 flagships until the next note comes out, hopefully without battery issues and better than ever. An xperia z3 will have to be my temporary ha dset until then. It's cheap, water resistant, has a good battery life, a decent camera, and marshmallow support. An iphone 7 just doesn't justify the expensive downgrade.

Rajaa

Dont skip a number. Sony skipped z4. Z5 is a massive failure. Now Sammy skipped Note 6. Note 7 is a suicide. Lolololol

Pedro-TheNeighbor

I'm at the disgust of how Samsung failed at how they tried to stuff in a large battery yet did not figure that was potentially dangerous. That's the reason why they went for just 3000 mAh battery on last year's Note, and adding that extra 400 mAh with such a tight space was a bad idea. I've maintained removable battery to be standard for practical reasons - changing to fresher batteries yearly at minimal cost increases the safety factor. Just remember to buy originals. Samsung will likely stick with sealed battery for their next flagships. So much with for my first phone with a sealed battery... I really would not care for the Note lineup if it wasn't for the Wacom digitizer pen. I've been testing the Note7's S Pen and comparing it with the Note 3's on my Note 3- the Note7's is really better, with a finer tip and pressure level control! I'm keeping the Note7's S Pen. Small compensation for the trouble. It fits the S Pen silo. Returned the Note7.

Imperator Neubaticus

Such a shame. This is the most perfect phone there is. A very costly oversight on samsung's part.

The problem with keeping the Note 7, even if yours seems fine (as does my replacement), is that you probably will never get Android 7 or firmware updates. Stuck with what you have in 10/2016. The new LG V20 looks very comparable and I am trying to find out when my carrier will have it.

We I'm done with Samsung after God knows how many years of being a loyal customer, No customer service, lack of knowledge about their own product is disgraceful.. Note 7 was a truly amazing phone, i can't deny that.. I am excepting no old handset from Samsung or my network provider just to keep Samsung profits up, bit the bullet & will soon be a proud owner of a iphone7 plus..

However it was called the best phone ever made. I think it was a set up. I have 3 programs monitoring this phone. I havnt even noticed a hiccup. I've been powerusing charging and playing. I'm really doing what I can to test this thing. They won't be getting mine back. I have precautions. Don't worry about updates. I'll just get them from google since this is a android device.

Jimmy

I will be keeping it. Like samsung keeps up with updates anyway. This is the best phone ever. I don't think there ever was a battery issue. It's a fucking masterpiece! Yes it is sad it will have to be unlocked however. Updates are actually a easy fix.

Refused my shipment from FedEx yesterday on advice from Verizon. Loved the functionality of this phone, don't understand why Samsung does not just use the battery from the Note 5 and bite the bullet on shorter life. Give the option of a wireless add-on for the back. Samsung stepped up with a credit on the first recall, for trouble, but absolutely nothing now. Spoke with Samsung today to be sure they had nothing to offer, answer was, nope. Lost me as a customer, other than the stylus functionality, a lot of other phones are just as good.

I'm also thinking the S7 as an option. It's the same cash out of $25 for subsidized Note 4 for my overdure plan renewal. Thank you appreciating the work I posted - you see how I deemed the S Pen as a very important element in my acquiring a Galaxy Note. Then again, I'd like to see what Samsung would do with the Note8. I can still do away with the Note 3 for the meantime. I'm returning the Note7 to my Telco tomorrow. So sad and happy at the same time.

Will give it a month for the price to drop and the bugs to come to light.

Pedro-TheNeighbor

I know, right!? I hope removable battery will be back. Even when I was using the Note7, I still maintained that glass back and sealed battery are a pain. Now using my old Note 3 with 10,000 mAh extended battery, enjoying some 18 hours of heavy use, 8 hours as hotspot, 3 GB data, with 15-20% battery left. However, I really wanted the f/1.7 camera and very improved S Pen. At least I got to actually use them for 45 days. Watching back the YouTube reviews of the Note 4, and looks like the video camera has focusing issues. There's just none with the Note7. Note 4's S Pen is very good, but not as sharp and responsive as the 4096 levels of pressure of the Note7's S Pen. I'll also miss the secure folder, gif creation, glance function.

Don't understand why Samsung don't rectify the issue and recall the current devices and after say 1-2 months when everything has died down, re-release the phone? Surely they know that there is a very loyal Note following and sales would still be decent. That would be better for the long term as now we have "Samsung, botched the Note7 and permanently withdrew it" versus "Samsung, botched the launch of the Note7 but rectified the problem and re-launched." Extremely disappointing as I love the phone.

Yes total agreed with you. I too hope Samsung will change their mind and make their new phone with removable battery. The note 4 is actully a really good phone. But sadly you could no longer get the original battery anymore. Of course you can buy aftermarket but it will die after 4 5 hours. So thats why I just give up and switch to note 7. My note 7 works perfect! Exceptional battery life. With light use it will last 2 days. And I have no issue with the battery at all. I even play games while charging and so far nothing happened. he battery is not even hot.

AnonD-367917

Extra levels of sensitivity does help (been using Wacoms for decades!) The Apple pencil, by default and most first gen pencil software, required 100% pressure to achieve 'FULL' width line/darkness. It is stupid and impractical to press the pencil that hard against the screen. Within a few months many software applications gave the option to adjust the parameters to make say 50% pressure represent 100% 'hardness'. Once the software allowed this tailoring the pencil was nice to use... before that.. too much sensitivity we could argue! The real improvement is the 360Hz sampling rate. The Apple Pencil, when being used, ramps the screen digitiser to 240Hz and that made drawing high speed circles 'very round'. Why would I want to draw 'high speed circles'? Probably don't... but, cursive writing is written quickly and is 'smooth'. A high digitiser sampling rate means that the cursive writing doesn't have straight lines when they should be wavy. Important when we are trying to interpret symbols and characters... we need accurate reproduction. Sure.. the new Stylus will work on earlier Notes (anyone returning a Note 7; you can keep accessories, yes?!), and offer improvements... for me the .7mm nib is the real deal.

Contents of the deleted post that you could read my reply too....? 'anon' (although also has five to ten other logins...) was chiding another user, an owner of a Note 7, for their poor exploding and 'bad' phone. Then proclaiming how great their note 5 is. This same user (I believe), when they had a Note Edge/Note 4, would jive everybody about how great it was.. then they got that Note 5 and they would annoy all Note Edge forum readers by taunting how cheap and dodgy the Note 4 was vs their 'premium' Note 5. They didn't take well to critisism about non removable battery and no expandable memory, hence 'no upgrade from Note 4'. The user, being so vocal for the 'greatness' that is the Note 5, has undertaken constant negativity for the Note 7 forum, and was attempting to aggravate the solemn Note 7 user who reluctantly has to retire their phone. Saying some sillyness about "laughing last is best"..... (hence my reply) It is sad to have to return the Note 7. The reason no one wants to is no other flagships come close. I even considered jumping ship to iOS, but one look at the iphone 7, and it just concreted my belief about how revolutionary the new Note is... That same aesthetic that makes the Note 7 outstanding (vs most other phone designs) is also, in my opinion (IMO), what is causing Samsung its present woes!; the super flexible glass front and back providing little rigidity to the svelte aluminium frame... this phone has the ability to bend!! And the battery isn't designed to flex!- it ruptures cells, and makes smoke escape from device (computers run on smoke; when the smoke escapes they stop working).. Have we seen any exploded phones in rigid cases? (I haven't) I think people sit on the Note 7, flex it, look at it, think 'fine', and go about continuing living a merry existence until their phone goes boom. I could be wrong- but looking at the facts; phones never been used, are fine. Samsung found no faults in lab environment. Something in the 'realworld' is compromising this phone; possibly altitude adjustments effecting the cells; but I would seriously hazzard it is phone flex. Samsung being able to cripple these phones via an update, and their present ineptness at convincing the world the issue has been isolated and corrected, is cause enough for me to move on (I hope not too, please Sammy, make it work out!). Presently I have a replacement unit in the same rigid case I kept my origional in. It is a tech21 wallet/foldover case. (It sucks/not recommended-The magnetic clip launches itself at the screen all the time; and it is metal..) I would recommend the Spigen cases as a starting point. Get the two part frames that have a rigid and a soft component...

I believe that, this is big defilement against Samsung. Samsung shall thoroughly investigate these incidents from beginning. Found guilty or guilties... And this is a fact that, Note 7 is only and unrepeatable..!!!

They're done. Note7 flop of the year.

Truth is out there..

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 - The biggest failure & flop of the year.. Simply a mini-c4 bomb.. Easily hurt u,, or might kill u.. No doubt about it"... Too humiliated, embarassing scenario for the korean tech giant......

Thank you for this information, Pédro. What you said is really interesting for me. I did not know, that the first Note N7000 had 256 pressure levels. I thought that it had none at all or maybe three or ten. Great thanks again.

Tech Lord

What did he say in that deleted post you replied to, before? Please describe it to me in an objective way. I am just curious.

Pedro-TheNeighbor

First Galaxy Note had 256 levels of pressure sensitivity. Note II and 3 had 1024 levels of pressure. Note 4 and .5 have 2048. Yes, the 4096 on the Note7 with 360 Hz instead of 240 Hz response has a very smooth effect. Note7 S Pen requires lesser pressure to exert to make heavier lines. Absolute pleasure when drawing. Here are my time-lapse drawing results: I can make thin and thick lines much better. Writing annotations is very good as well.

Techlord777

Guess what? Note 8 is already there and was actually released nearly four years ago. But that was Note 8.0. Do not confuse them, if possible.

AnonD-71406

samsung, the firestarter

Techlord777

Note 5 is not shipped in many countries. In some countries, the Note 4, S5 and Note 3 (next to S7) were the most future-proof phones after such a long time. Remember, many Cars, Ships and Planes are multiple times as old as iPhone 2G.

Techlord777

Is there really a practical difference between 1024 and 4096 pressure levels? And does 1024 on the Note 4 mean 512 on the Note 3? If so, then where is the purpose of more pressure levels? I have nothing against them, but they will barely improve anything in a practical way.

Techlord777

What is so bad about plastic? Why do you consider it as cheap? It is robust and does not break, scratch or slide out of the hand.

Techlord777

Every single removed feature in successors always made me sick. I always expect them to cover the full feature range of all predecessors. Here is a random case: in the Note7 browser, holding down a link does not longer show the ordinary „Open“-option in the option-menu. Everybody thinks: why don't you just tap the link? Well, what is that link forces me to open a new tab, but I don't want to? I might hit the fifty-tab limit, which causes, since S6, the first tab to be closed without any warning at all. Well, Lady Lee did not think about that. The Note 7 is actually the first time ripe phone (it is not just water-protected, but even useable underwater. And the pen is more convenient to use than the fingers anyway). I am looking forward to Hyun YEUL Lee's next performance on stage.

Nobody should buy this phone anymore. It is always the risk of it to explode and you will have more trouble to send it and receive it again than just buying an other phone

Anonymous

At least Note 5 is not exploding and not cheap plastic!

Pedro-TheNeighbor

As much as I want to keep using a Note7, the integrity of it not exploding is diminishing. Multiple replaced units exploding are getting too widespread now. I lost money in buying 2 cases and D Brand skin that's still on its way to me. At least it gave me 45 days of usage - camera, S Pen, and amazing vibrant screen are totally top notch. I'm relieved that I still have my Note 3 with 10,000 mAh extended battery to use. I do hope this triggers the next Galaxies back with removable batteries. I absolutely do not see the logic of sealed batteries, except for water-resistance - which I've never even tested. And that glass back idea is still so silly. Now I'm looking into the possibility of getting a brand new Note 4, and a 10,000 mAh extended battery for it.

Julliard

Halted. I dont expect a relaunch any sooner. It is better if they fix it for real and relaunch with the launch of S8 next year. Double flagship launch would be great. Lets set the time around March. No rush. April is even better. Like seriously, no rush at all. Master the art of perfection first Samsung!

AnonD-183089

Its officialy now guys samsung halted the note 7 production!!!!!!! :(

Pedro-TheNeighbor

Note.5 is still UNDERWHELMING with NO memory expansion. I'm better off with a Note 4 with the SAME S Pen pressure level of 2048, and I can extend the battery 3 times so I don't need to carry around a power bank. Having to charge the Note7 before going home was one of the downside of having to put up with sealed battery. I use an average 180% of battery charge daily, since I can use up to 10 hours SOT use.

AmarR

Seems it's not battery nor the battery cell they believed.. it's something else which is causing the issue. Which needs to be examined. But they already lost the game! K.O. and RIP And they shouldn't rush to early release of S8 or N8 at all like people saying. They can take their time to do proper R&D and testing in every way possible before launch. Also don't forget to roll back the features specially removable battery, sd card, FM, IR, Wide angle camera. And put stereo speakers. And make it the full package. Because upto Note 4 you never compromised with features particularly for Note series. Best of luck for future. Shhhh! Nokia is coming back! Be careful lol!!!

Confucius say 'person who laughs last, thinks slowest'... Having an older phone that works and laughing at another person with an older phone that works? Sure. That the person tried their best to update it? What is the issue!? Having an older phone.. didn't you chastise the 'plastic backed' phone users when you got that 'premium note 5'; yet you had issue when a better phone came out and kept picking on it... So now your phone brand has stuffed up again and you feel great..? Sure thing. Just don't think you have credibility, that your voice has any value.. Attacking people who contribute worthwhile comments whilst yours are the lowest levels of batship crazy?

Yeah that's what you got for under estimating the power of Note 5 against Note 7. Note 5 still lives while your Note 7 is already a safety issue. I often travel via airplane, and I can confidently use my 64GB Note 5 while thousands of feet above the ground. While your Note 7 is left behind where it belongs, INCINERATOR. LOL!

True. Note 7 pulled down Samsung. Not Note 5, not S6. Note 7 is the black sheep. Safety is more important. I will never upgrade to Note 7, I will keep my premium 64GB Note 5. At least it is safe and 64GB is more than enough for my apps, it's camera is not far from the best. At the end Note 5 still rules!

Breaking news: Samsung has now suspended production of the Note7. Listen, people can love it. That's all on you. That's your prerogative. But you have to choose between your selfish pleasures which might reek of arrogance, denial, and irresponsibility or your safety and anyone or anything around it? Get busy living. These stories are NOT FAKE. That's ypur denial of enjoying it so much speaking to you. Samsung wouldn't halt production if these stories were fake. I really wanted this phone. Samsung just had to break our hearts by rushing it to the market to beat Apple and Quality Assurance wasn't up to par. Skip all the flagships this year. The 2017 flagships are the ones worth waiting for. I just hope these burning issues don't carryover to the S8 and Note8 but it might like what happened with the LG bootloops. Will never trust Samsung again after this debacle.. Motorola (a Lenovo company) Nokia (former king) LG (because they still offer removable batteries) Xiaomi Apple Sony Google The rest don't matter to me. I might never look at a Samsung phone again. Not even their foldable display technology. They innovate but don't care about quality. Patience is a virtue in tech and they lack that. Rush rush rush just to beat Apple. The stupidity on their part. Samsung wants to throw as much crap on the wall to see what sticks. I hope this is the end for sealed batteries for them, then maybe I would reconsider. For 2017, LG G6 or V30 if they finally have common sense to pack a larger battery. That's their main Achilles this year.

Share the same thoughts. Been waiting for the Note 7 since August 19, but then issues happened. What I'm gonna do is to get me an S7 Edge for almost half of its price (brand new) then once S8 has been released, will be selling it then go for the S8. Well, that's just me. S7 Edge is the Note 7 minus Iris Scanner/USB Type C and others.

The Last Best Device of the Note Series that remains in the History will be Note 4. It has no complaints till date. Then Came Note 5, and the S Pen Issue. Then Came Note 7 Skipping the Number 6.. And It is really pathetic to know that it will be exiled, even before its official release in Indian Sub Continent, due to Exploding Batteries of the Recalled Replaced Units too. Here is the Source Link that says so: SGN7 Production Comes to A Halt I am typing from My Note 4.

This is all bad karma for Samsung. They rushed without quality assurance. They tried to play Apple's game of planned obsolescence with sealed batteries. Four incidents including the Southwest evacuation has now happened in the U.S. with the "safe" Note7. It is over for the Note7. Samsung is no longer telling us anything. I love people still supporting this phone. Such irresponsible arrogance on their part. If we knew how to prevent it from happening, I would understand. But we can't. It can burn up randomly. Just because it didn't happen to you doesn't mean it can't happen to someone else who is sitting near you. Return the Note7 and get another phone. Be doing everyone a favor. I said to myself, screw it. I don't want any 2016 flagship. All a waste of money for these 2 year throwaways. For a good price, get an iPhone SE for $450 which still is faster than every 2016 Android flagship out there at double the cost. For me, I will pick up a $50 ZTE Zmax 2. It might be crap but it won't burn on me and has that rare feature of removable battery. Note7 = waste of money. Burn your pocket, your hands, and anything around it. Most flagships over $500 are that way. Avoid buying expensive phones and giving into these brands' brainwashing on you to buy something you don't need and becomes disposal after a couple of years. ZTE Zmax 2 ftw! $49.99.. Nothing to lose. I own five other phones anyway.

AnonD-367917

The last few news hours paint a pretty strong picture for the future of this phone. I do understand how one unchecked news source can be quoted by everyone, so one incidence wasn't 'enough' to go by and pack this phone up... The quoted sms accidently sent metioning tactics like 'slow him down'... is pretty screwy. Samsung might be 'somewhat' forced to follow financial direction suggestions and split lines and areas of operations.. damn. Note 7 is a nice phone. My first one, I trusted, even with recall notices, I would have been happy to have kept it. Knowing they can issue a software flash that makes the phone a brick, my time with Samsung (and their low SAR) seems likely over. Will have to find a fair replacement; makes me feel like my symbian/psion days of having a seperate computer/organiser to my telephone... Perhaps my tablet becomes my organiser etc and my phone- heaven forbid- is an actual phone. My favorite phones were always tradesmen models (tough) you could throw at your feet when hitting cafes'. The Note 7 was the closest to a small (vs my note edge) phone that had it all, including as 'extras', the best screen, camera and audio. Whilst my tablet has a pen, the draw straight to screen feature with the s-pen (even with the screen off) is something that a dollar notebook and pencil might have to takeover. If a one box 'best' no longer is an option, then seperates I will do. Seperate audio player and amp, seperate organiser and a small phone. Just when I had got use to 'one box to rule them all'- using kevo locks and NFC chip bank card payments I could literally leave home with just my phone. (My drivers licence sits with my phone in its case.. most other 'rewards cards' can be made digital and stored on the phone. Leaving home with one 'toy' (no keys and wallet) makes me feel free as a child! (In my country children have freedom, just to clarify)

Yes. I have powered down and retired my Note7. I have placed back my 128 GB microSD card to my Note 3. Restored connection to my smart and reset up my Spotify music. Just waiting for the go to return it. Somehow, my telco agent needs to ask "special permission" to cancel my account. Being back with my Note 3 means I'm back with 10,000mAh extended battery, which means no need charging at the middle of my day despite heavy use. I'll miss the better responsive S Pen, camera... for a month or two.

Samsung, do a recall and replace all Note7 with Note5 at least. Lets just stop this Note7 things. Its not working amymore. Financial wise, it ia better to divert all that spending to halting Note7 instead of replacing it again and again . I cant bear anymore news about Note7.

They should allow every customer who purchased a Note 7 the ability to exchange their device for the Note 8 when it comes out

Go for real sure buy. Try to get one Note 7 that Samsung is selling in China and Hong Kong, those they dont have the Samsung brand logo on front. They don't have battery problem because they have different supplier batteries and as I know for friends that bought the divice they dont habe any problem all oposite they have great experiencie. I have my all mighty note 4 and I will buy note 7 here in Hong Kong. I dont understand why only usa citizens and in USA only these phones have this big problem. Over the world no problem. Just USA...

Why only in EEUU the note 7 fires and explotes? I haven't read or known other countries that have this problem. I am from Chile but I work in China and Hong Kong and the note is been sold as normal as I know for friend users not have problem at all, anyways as I read this units that are in China mainland and Hong Kong those without the samsung brand on front of phone, they have other batteries. I really want to upgrade my all mighty Note 4 to Note 7 but all this problema that Happen to USA citizen that bought note 7 it makes me a bit paranoide but as I see in China and Hong Kong not problem at all

Replacement Note 7's are also catching on fire. This means that Samsung, 1. has ZERO quality control, 2. Has no records of batch specific quality control. Samsung has no idea how many of their Note 7 phones are corrupted and could potentially catch on fire. Unlike the first time around, Samsung isn't even acknowledging the continued problem with the replacement phones.

AnonD-595414

I've been really sceptical about these explosions but now I'm disappointed that the Note7 may never hit he UK market on the 28th of October. I read tons of peoples comments in which they highly recommend the device and report no overheating at all. Really need to upgrade my dying S4, removal of the headphone jack makes the iPhone a definite no, that being said the optimisation of IOS makes it really attractive but due to the jack I have to stick with Android. If the Note7 never sees the light of day in the UK what would you recommend as a new device? Those Xiaomi devices look really appealing as I am a big fan of Xiaomi products, always top quality from them. Or would the Google Pixel be a good option? So confused and disappointing as I closely followed the Note7 and was set on getting that. Before anyone asks, I don't care much about the explosions, I'm sceptical about them and that being said, the percentage change of my device going off is extremely, extremely small.

Anonymous

The Note 7 Samsung put out is an insult and a joke. The reason it burnt up is they tried to rip us off, and cut back on the rumored version. Give us 6 GB OF RAM; a 4200 MaH battery, 4k resolution screen, 32 megapixel main with at least 9.megapixel front, and put a 3.2 ghz quad snapdragon processor. Forget the bogus octacore! If you guys do this, and also keep at least 4 colors ( bring back the S7 gold ), you will outsell all other smartphone makers! Put us as your priority, and we will make you number 1!

I'm going back to the Note 3, while Samsung resolves its Note7 battery issues. Note7 has the Best camera, S Pen and screen I've used. Samsung's policy here in my region is to strictly replace only the same color (unlike other countries), and my carrier is not helping me get what I need. So, I've cancelled my account, and probably will go back with the black onyx Note7 in a month or two. They weren't in stock at first and had to settle with the platinum, and my order of the black D Brand skin should have resolved the color. I may not even go back to the Note7 at all if more news come out, and exploding replacements are true. It's the curse of early adoption, and it's an opportunity wait for me to see first.

I agree. ..feel the same . Too many suspicions and doubts about the "well timed" reports of incidents...especially this one about the Southwest plane. Appears to be a well orchestrated incident. The Note 7 is superior to all others in its class so it's become a target.

I still use my 8" Note 8.0. A year after, battery usage was at 5 hours instead of 7 hours. A year again, it was down to 3 hours. I have changed the internal battery just recently, and installed it myself since the parts aren't glued together. My point is, batteries degrade. It's way harder for the built-system since S6 glued assembly. You have to go to the service centers to unglued, and way more expensive than buying them from stores. My original Note and Note II are still being enjoyed by family members who aren't fussy about new tech. All I did was to buy new batteries for them, and they are good as they were first used.

No residue from fire extinguisher, no burn injury, no burnt flooring, and the box happens to be with him. All Samsung stores in my region have taken out demo units, and no sign of replenishment or start of regular sales. There is a prime reason why I'd like a removable battery with beastly specs, plus the fact you can swap out the original with a higher capacity. At least with a removable battery system, you can check if the battery is bulging - a sign that it needs replacement. It would have been that simple to just recall batteries instead of the entire unit.

So much people saying arguing cursing about the note, no one knows is it true or false any more, is it propaganda or not, wither it was from people or companies or even governments, TIME WILL TELL I GUESS, the note 7 by far got the best features and can beat any Android phone, however being Samsung rushing into everything , how many types of cellphones they build, and the time between them, sounds like a Marathon, other companies had to make the same thing trying to keep up with them, too fast Samsung, they should concentrate on the quality not quantity, after all they're already on the top 3 and staying on top is the hardest, also a lot of companies are trying its best and they're doing a great job too and closing in to Samsung, but with note 7 bad reputation now, Samsung lost a lot, and I'm sure a lot of people will go and get another phone especially when a new androids released on the market this month, sadly I canceled my note 7 pre-order hoping to get one later, no rush ...

Pedro-TheNeighbor

I've just requested a cancelation of my subscription that came with the Note7 despite its excellent camera, S Pen, amazing screen, 7 hours SOT per charge, and responsive interface. I've used it more than 45 days, given the Note7 a very excellent review, and drawing with it is pure pleasure. Heck, the D Brand skin I've ordered are still in transit. That's how i was invested at first. Right now, the only phone that comes close to its excellence is an S7 Edge. Seeing your review of it being lesser in battery performance reinforced my decision as the right course. I'm a firm believer that "fast charging" contributes to the instability of the battery, as I've seen with my colleagues with Note 4 where their batteries only lasted a year after fast charging daily. Cheers to WhiteDragon and Bunyip22 for staying on. I'm taking a break from the Note7, and will have a look at your reviews, you may convince me to go swim back. I'm just frustrated with my telco and Samsung as they've restricted the changing of unit colors fur the replacement program, and the only way I'm getting rid of the gold platinum for the black onyx is to cancel my renewed contract (and thankfully it's free because of the fiasco of exploding batteries). Right now, there are no indication when Note7 is going to be sold or offered to telcos regularly in my locality. Since I'm spending so much for my phone bill, I'm reserving that subsidized smartphone for whatever i decide in the next 3 months - Note7 with that said battery? We can't have it all...

I think the move of samsung to leave note 6 and make note 7 is very stupid cause as i see the specs of note 7 it doesnt differ much with galaxy s7 and as i remember note has always been further than other phones with tech now they are trying to bring all the phones on the same level that really sucks!!!

LG G5 is on sale for 30% off now. Free extra battery and cradle charger. No one is buying it. If the G5 had such an overall great camera, it would have been news, with profitable margins. You would have bought one by now if you were to put where your money for it. You keep threatening to get the V20 - DO IT. You keep threatening to get the iPhone 7 Plus - ORDER IT. Or just stop pretending to. The REAL NEWS for MONTHS now is S7, S7 Edge, and Note 7 simply shine versus the G5's or V20's camera - still shots AND VIDEO.

Lol Stop using confusing statements to change the topic we are talking abt pure camera quality go refresh your memory if you want to. we were not talking abt battery or zerolemon etc.LOL The problem with you is that you are a hypocrite person then another problem with you is that you write lots of comments which is irrelevent for others so stick to the topic otherwise you will get replys like "we are not intrested" very often.

Why do you need to swear paragb? I have shown links including gsmarenas lab shots and the GN7 is clearly better then the V20 especially in low light ... The iPhone even thumps the V20 in low light which is an surprise... Not sure why you are getting upset about it?

How did you find the phone in comparision to your iPhone 6s plus. I am planning to move from 6s to N7. Need your suggestion. The major problem i find with Samung phones is that the call signals are weak in general where as I never had such a problem with iPhone. And there are few other little things but important ones that iPhones generally do much better. Whats your overall feedback? But otherwise, I am very much leaning towards N7

AnonD-81079

Using safe Note 7 (Green Battery) , purchased from Dubai, found this phone extremely powerful and smooth (I do own iPhone since iPhone 4, currently 6s Plus) Battery life is good for a day (I left for work at 6:30 by 12:00mid night, it reaches 20-25%) I wish they have blue color in UAE but black is awesome as it gel with screen and body Cheers

Pedro-TheNeighbor

Nope, they are Factual. You're even willing to pay for something SUB-PAR with no 60fps video recording, screen that's not color accurate, and really poor battery. You like subpar things. You even think DxOMark Mobile as fake, while you only agree Note7.5 as having 1% better camera mark than the Note7 for daytime shots. G5 was a failure with such ugly design, with poor performance. Even Zerolemon didn't bother making an extended battery for the G5. That's how bad it is. The main reason why people like me bother with the Galaxy Note is the S Pen, plus the superb #1 camera. So, when is your pre-order of Note7 arriving for you? You can stop with your pretend that's of getting the V20 or iPhone 7 - another subpar phone with slower focus and lesser quality sensor.

AnonD-100398

No! You are wrong again ! LGv20's camera beats the shit out of Note7's camera.like how LGG5 did with s7 edge in lowlight shootout the LG G5 has the advantage when capturing still images - it has a higher resolution sensor, with wider FoV. the G5 betters the S7,Galaxy S7 edge & Note7 almost every time. even in 4K video recording, the V20 & LG G5 is better than the S7, Galaxy S7 edge &Note7.

"no compitition to the LG V20 and Iphone 7"? Amazing. You're actually impressed with the iPhone's MONO AUDIO RECORDING capability for video recordings. And the fact that both of then aren't the best in photography when it comes to mobile phones. S7,S7 Edge,and Note7 surpasses those 2, PERIOD.

yeh post as many links you want to feel haapy Lol however the web is full of fake news now a days & the matter of the fact is that the specs and numbers speak for themselves ... the best example of these kind of fake news is the DXO which gave the google pixel the highest rating for camera quality which still has a midrange f/2.0 apreture..google used the midrange camera to keep the costs low i guess .they have not even used the camera on htc10 which is still a great camera with f/1.8 apreture and no OIS For front camera either like the one on htc10. however there is no compitition to the LG V20 and Iphone 7 plus in terms of smartphone photography. This is not to say that s7,s7 edge and Note7 have worst camera quality.

Although i feel that apple is behind all this battery issue that samsung is facing however regardless of this issue i am also leaning towards the LG V20 and Iphone 7 plus ,Hopefully my 1st choice is V20 for its excellent camera and it still a premium built device with removable battery and feels like unibody along with a strong built and slimport connectivity which supports reso upto 4k for TV out and secondary always on display will not let me miss the spen on note7 V20 also Comes in 64gb storage which is quite decent compaired to lg g5's 32gb.however V20 sud not have any issues like light leaking etc ...otherwise the blazing fast Most premium built iphone 7 plus which comes with dual 12mp excellent camera and excellent 7mp front camera plus gives the option to get onboard storage of upto 128& 256gb which very few rival OEM's offers .iphone 7plus is avaiable however lets see what preorder offers and price LG and samsung will keep here in india for LG V20 and Note7.But i am feeling lucky :) lets see.

RIP Note7 Southwest flight had to evacuate from a burning Note7. I tried defending over and over what is arguably the best of the best phone right now. Too dangerous, folks. A smoke bomb. It might NOT happen to you, but it can still happen to you someday or still happen to someone else somewhere which increases the chances. Samsung just completely ruined their brand image. It is OVER for them. I am not even going to get an S8, Note8, or anymore phones with the name Samsung on it. What a shame. Note7 has such a great camera and display. The one year I wanted a Samsung phone, they literally blew it in front of people's faces. I'm getting an LG V20. I will try it out for two weeks. If I am not satisfied by its cameras and battery life, then iPhone 7 Plus. It is over for Note7. Anyone can have a smoking Note7 that will have people evacuate airplanes, trains, buses, or any public transport. Avoid Note7 at all cost. Even if powered off and a replacement, it still burns up. This is far worse than the Sony VAIO laptop recall. LG V20 or iPhone 7 Plus for me.

Samsung was making a great device this note 7 but they screwed up in hurrying it to release it before the iphone 7 release so now the fault in battery doesnt really cure this exploding problem there are other parts too inside a phone and the replacement note 7 are overheating as well as if you see the news exploding too. Blackberry nokia microsoft lumia and now samsungs turn. Go for other brands like Huawei mate 8 64gb and i bet u whatever u say it will be the best phone you ever had the other best is the obvious 7 plus its very expensive but its that damn good

AnonD-367917

Yeah I used mine naked for the last few weeks- although still had a screen protector in place... I do prefer one of the wrap around cases-ones like Spiegen makes My present Tech21 wallet case sucks as it has a magnetic strip to make the front lock to the back.. and it always kamikazes into the screen (which being GG5 I don't wan't to have metal contstantly scraping across it).. So I had to put a new screen protector on the N7 for it to survive use in this case whilst I order another case, ideally something more open... (and less annoying). I really buggered up the second attempt at protection screen application. For those who do not know- official samsung screen protectors come with 'two screens'. The first one I used on the 'now returned' N7. My replacement N7 has the bodgiest job ever for a screen application, and now I have no backup to swap to. So will be looking for a new 'shell'. Anyhow just pipping in.. no marks on my N7 after a few weeks of naked use.. Happy to use my new one without screen protection or case protection, but will, cause they are such nice phones.. screen protection probably most important, and a case for 'grip'.

I got mind in Australia, wait for another 3 days. And Samsung gave A50 Gift Voucher for loyal costumer.

I find the silver or platinum to be attention grabbers - something I realize too late and had ordered black D Brand skins. Black onyx looks inconspicuous. Going no-case just worries me with a nasty drop - not likely you, but someone bumping into you while you hold it. And because of the recall, the Black Onyx is my final choice now. They didn't have it in stock the first time. I found a 360-degree clear acrylic protective case from X-Doria. It feels like the Note7 with no case, but the outer transparent shell would arty least absorb some of the energy from a drop. Less than $13, than pay $270 to have the screen.

AnonD-77443

Fair enough :-) Re cases, i have had my GN7 for about 7 weeks with no case or screen protection... not a mark on the screens or edges and i have been rougher with it because i knew it would be replaced.

AnonD-183089

i think it won't be a problem as I got the silver titan color also on my S6 edge plus but its a little bit darker than S7 edge and note 7 in addition to that i always use spigen or verus hard cases to protect the phones :)

About 1 in 20-30k have issues. My fast charge is off, battery limited to 80%, plus i don't leave it on combustible materials when charging.... so the risks are tiny... more risk every time i drive my car. Samsung advises that my new Note 7 will be here in a day or two. I'm keen to see evidence of the 50 deg c battery temp on the new GN7 you are talking about...

AnonD-367917

Yeah it is a tricky situation; no doubt some 'claims' will be people who dropped or broke their unit (not eligible for warranty claim), who are inclined to make phone ignite so they can wrap it in a towel and jump on it and get a free/new one. Anyone who still has theirs; don't forget to keep the accessories (including the STYLUS!) I think sammy softmodding the phone to 60% max charge was mean/would do well motivating people to exchange their units- would have preferred if they just locked off 'fast charging'...

Pedro-TheNeighbor

Exploding only happens while charging. While it would happen 1 out of 42,000, you already on know replacements have been given out.

Pedro-TheNeighbor

Finally, some explanation as to why battery draining happens on the Note7. Bloatware apps from T-Mobile that constantly searching for connection. And that has a Snapdragon processor version. The noobs don't know there are two versions. Old and slow MicroSD cards also may take issue with the speed. No issues reported on the Exynos version. As you can see with the guy's video, he had been using the safe version for two weeks, and it has the same 7 hours SOT that my old Note7 performs. NO overheating as it doesn't have a bloatware app that keeps trying to drain power CONSTANTLY to connect to the network. At least he can show evidence, unlike claims of "overheating" without even a single piece of evidence.

Trust me, I still use my Note 3 for almost 3 years now. Now it's mostly for home use. I know it doesn't heat up.

Pedro-TheNeighbor

I said, "I SEEN one guy review it..." Do you review gadgets on YouTube? Did you say "the Note7 like an S7 Edge with an S Pen"? I wrote that in my comment. Was that referring to you? Stop being super sensitive. If you want people to believe you without question, post the necessary evidence. Even the report by WSJ was vague with no evidence. I'll make screenshots of the first 6 battery cycles showing charging graphs with temperature data. I'll probably get my new replacement by Wednesday when I have time to drop by my telco agent. Meanwhile, turn that hurt dial to a low setting.

Pedro-TheNeighbor

The problem with these overheating claims is that they can't seem to produce any screenshots, especially showing a graph showing charge % and temperature like GSam Battery Monitor: And I was referring to a YouTube reviewer who summized that the battery was terrible after less than 24 hours of testing. These noobs don't know battery stabilizes some 6 cycles later, while updating of apps happen for the first 20 to 30 minutes, and even over 1 hour if there's a lot. I'll definitely have a look at this once I get my replacement. The 80% charge limit actually would keep the battery in better shape in a long term. Ideally the charge should be between 40 to 80% if anyone wants to keep the battery's power retention at optimum for a number of years. I wonder if the option to limit it will still be there.

AnonD-77443

If u meant that guy (me) .. i would like to tell u that u are the noob to world mobile companies and technology.. i have had many phones along the past years ..I've never experienced 50 celcieus battery temp while charging even if its a new 0hone and ut needs some time may ne a day to optimize aops and battery cycle.. i played yesterday modern combat 4 in my car and at same time i was downloading contents from torrent .. sun rays was totally at my phone and guess what for 30 minutes the phone didnt get above 45 degrees celcius battery temp.. so 50 degrees is non sense if ur note7 is charging below ur ac and it is on an aluminum cooled table .. confess that this phone is just a massive failure.. dont lie on your self and confront the truth

Pedro-TheNeighbor

Exactly. I seen one guy review it after only the first few hours and concluded the battery to be insubstantial. Geeez... The Note7 needs to learn the battery cycle again, and it would take a few discharges for calibration. He even calls the Note7 like an S7 Edge with an S Pen. That definitely rings the noob bell. I'll be getting my replacement pretty soon. Just don't have time to go by the Telco center as I'm busy with something urgent. I got appointments first two workdays. Replacements officially starts today. Pretty much I'm one of the 80 to 90% who opted to stay on with the Note7. Good hardware upgrade from the Note 3, except for the sealed battery and glass back.

AnonD-367917

There has been a bunch of 'heating issues', and rapidly draining batteries being 'reported'. If we think about this; combined with the occulus software heating issue: new phones installing and optimising their apps, the downloading of apps and updates, and the battery sorting out its charge level over the first few charges etc... this is all just standard phone stuff. Just more people paying attention on these phones presently. Other night I got a 160mb security update for my Note 4. Phone was at 69% power, install update and reboot and then 'optimise apps', phone after restart was at 50%. (Twenty minutes odd). Then the phone said it had another 160mb update (guessing it was the same update!), twenty minutes later phone is at 30% power. I never see my phone discharge so quickly, but these updates are not the norm (went eight months without any updates during the year). So replacement Note 7s, requiring updates, would have a 'fast drain' in their initial runtimes.. All is right, just people are worried and 'on edge'. Would be best if we reassured that this is standard stuff...

AnonD-367917

And for many the 'Note 5' was the "sure skip" Note 7 is progress in the phone space, just subtle/incremental changes from the S7 Note and S series are for differing groups, so, 'not an issue'. I do think I am reading a lot of misconceptions about 'spec sheet' upgrades. As an example, progress in camera sensors isn't about greater megapixels, but more to do with focusing methods and ISO/noise control. A 12megapixel camera this year is vastly different to one made five years ago... especially the custom Sony IMX designs that Samsung use! Even the screen, albeit at the same physical resolution, has vastly differing properties (colour gamut and brightness, hence contrast, are improved), as displaymate reiviews confirm, Samsung improve their screen tech every six months, this is the 'latest'. For me the sound (DAC), the screen, the camera and the waterproofing were all massive improvements over the Note 4 (the screen perhaps in HDR mode is required to really show its ability.. "A million ways to die in the west" youtube clip seems to show the increased dynamic range nicely....) Just because you cannot see the screen digitiser running at increased rates, or that the camera is vastly better colour response (check PRINTS- monitors do not reveal this stuff).. doesn't mean that much engineering and hard work hasn't been done. This phone is phenominal! Best phone hardware I have held in a long time. Killer phone. I am not going to 'wait' for something better. I have use for THIS phone, NOW.

AnonD-217460

First it was exploding issues and now its overheating. Too risky at such a high cost. This model should just be discontinued for now. I will just wait for galaxy S8.

Pedro-TheNeighbor

It's NOT "inevitable" or is it "innovative". I'd go for something 2mm thicker for removable battery. Batteries degrade - that's a fact. What's so "innovative" about deliberately making things obsolete by not being able to prolong the usage easier by just buying a fresh battery? My past Galaxy Notes are with family members, and they're pretty happy they still work fine with a fresh battery and no need to go to a service center just to change the battery. The first iPhone was about 13mm thick, and had a sealed battery, it had a plastic back. The Note7 is about 7mm thick but fragile as hell that you need a case that has to have thick front lip perimeter from breaking from falls. That's about 10mm thick. This is my current case for my Note7: It has that front perimeter lip, unlike exposing that curved glass edge of even high-end cases. I have to put up with such for The best mobile camera and S Pen. The "innovative" $950 design is too fragile for accidental drops. I don't want to spend an extra $270 for replacing that front screen. With such thin design and sealed, I can't replace the battery to a higher capacity that can DIRECTLY power it. I have to be content with carrying a power bank. Go figure - carrying another object that's even bigger and heavier than the device you carry... with a wire to connect. If you and the rest want sealed "innovative" design, Samsung might as well put a more decent battery of 5000mAh. That guarantees 9 hours SOT.

lajkra

Believe or not its up to you .. google it and u see it .. (people are complaining about heating issues after the recall process..

Pedro-TheNeighbor

Right, the two of you sharing a high end device... good story, bruh...

Julliard

Non removable battery is inevitable in modern design. If battery still removable it would hinder innovation in term of design. Unibody are well received these day. Thickness of phone become major things we consider when choosing a phone too. The thinner, the lighter the phone would be and the longer you can hold it without getting tired and wrist pain.

If this guy is saying the truth so samsung is just a company that making impossible to satisfy their pockets .. in this year samsung should do impossible to recall all note7 units even if they are ( rooted.. custom roms ..black listed and etc..) and may be he is right but stores in his country is just making shits .. may be ... there should be no conditions to recall because here we are talking about human life .. and all people out there .. how many people were killed by explosions of batteries ?? How many houses have burned ?

My brother just got the replacement one since 5 hours ..charging ut and suddenlly the ampere app starts to ringing .. oh battery warm alert .. checked it to make us got shocked .. battery temp is 50c .. what the hell with that curse (note7) i think samsung should get off all note7 from the market and confessing that this is a bad year .. no more danger .. no more victims .. no more hard earned money goes for nothing ...

I do hate this Note 7. In the Philippines they are not so serious about the recall they only choose few phones for recalls. And mine does not meet the requirement because I do buy it in Ebay they don't/wont accept it. It just came up to me that they should bring the battery to charge it again in 100 % if they really don't serious or does not care about safety of there consumer about there recall. SAMSUNG just bring the god damn battery to 100%

I dont know why nowadayd all companies switched to non removable battery in their phones .. i dont want design i dont want anything except a good device ..if samsung put removable battery option in note 7 .. problem is solved ... all people out their plz come to stores and take free betteries and give us the faulty ones ..removable batt. Is vwry important for future accidents that would be happen to phone ..look now at lg vibe .. its what anyone wish from a company to do and lg has did the job . Design isnt matter .. beauty look isnt matter ..creation is what matters .. and unfortionatly creation wasnt appeared since samsung note 2 ... and samsung s2.. dont laugh on ur mind and say ohhhhhhhhh note 7 has brought all ceative features ..all companies doesnt care about anything except speed ..ohhh first thing to be said every year is ( apple says that A10 is faster than A9 40%) and the same to snapdragon and exynos.. i will prove that .. every one entering this forum every day just went to see cpu and gpu specs on the phone becuz people are trapped by that uselles things..features of note 7 must be in note 4 and features of s7 must be done for s5 .. plz dont thimk iam stupid just this is an opinion from a computer engineer(me) and many people agree with me .. and at last i would like to say .. i have note 3 and galaxy alpha and i didnt think ever to buy a new note phone becuz this is lost of hard earned money .. and its worthless

And yet you'll be getting the Note7 in a "short time". I have to admit, the battery life of the Note7 is way more long-lasting than the Note 3 per charge. The Note 3 could give me some 3.5 hours SOT, while the Note7 can give twice at 7 hours SOT! However, that can go on for a year or so, and all downhill with that sealed battery degrades.

Pedro-TheNeighbor

"Overheating" and "losing power while charging" are hearsay news. No Youtube videos regarding those "issues". No temperature mentioned. No details. No complaints from the first batch with the China-produced revised "safe" version. Then all of the sudden there are VAGUE complaints from social media. I'm getting my safe replacement in 3 days. At least two people here are sour grapes about the new safe version.

yeh man!i agree even the ram management issues are going worst in android and its lossing to ios i know both are diffrent os but i got to admit ios on a iphone is made for each other be it hardware or software, but in android its all confusing google decides something for there upgrades and samsung or all the other android oem's decide something else for there android skins .all in all its more complicated than ios which results in bugs and incompitibility issues ..however android also comes with its own share of advantages which ios cud never match but ios is like rock solid and works crazy fast with its new quad core a10 chipset,3gb ram it shatters everything on this planet in single core performance and now even the muticore performance is improved . Android on the other hand is kinda fragile and have to deal with mutiple socs like exynos, snapdragon,media tek,kerin etc. but yes even i hate that iphones is still stuck to old screen resolutions plus still hate those huge bezels on iphones . note7 sud have been a flat screen 6"(wud have been best for spen than a edge screen) smartphone with a 4k screen plus a 30mp camera with f/1.5 or atleast f /1.6 apreture for better low light performance and a atleast a 3600 mah or a better 3700 mah battery to overcome its shortcomings to iphones and stand out in the market.but may be it will happen next year with Note8 I was hoping with lg v20 lg wud use atleast a better 20mp camera with a improved low light apreture but all LG have done is to just put the lg g5 camera on v20's back and downgraded the front camera on lg v20 from 8mp to 5mp ..dont know what they were smoking while deciding that.plus the ips panels are still not that great compaired to oleds...and lg v20 does not come with a dual sim option.. So all in all this year was not great for smartphones hopefully all the oems learn a lession of this year and do something soon to not only overcome but also make use of the big words they say like innovation, revolution etc in there product launch.

Hey, finally someone who agrees. I had mentioned this to PARAG B and he/she flipped out and told me not to tell him/her what to do. I suggested it's best to skip a generation sometimes, and this Note generation is a sure skip. I'm sure this will get deleted.

Pedro-TheNeighbor

Again, the news about "overheating" has NO mention of what temperature, or what were the user doing with the phone while "losing charge" or was it on fast or regular charging. This is just sloppy journalism, picked up from social media comments with no specific details. Go on and search YouTube... No posts regarding these problems with the new Note7 replacements AT ALL! It's hearsay, and likely produced by the competition. We all know the Note7 has the most features-packed package. S lineup aren't as exciting as the Note series.

AnonD-77443

Why would you want 4K screen and 30MP camera? A 4K screen is useless except for the small few who use VR headsets... you won't see the slightest difference and if will impact on the phone performance. 30MP cameras wouldn't bring better quality. The 12MP GN7 camera proves that lower MP actually have less noise. Sensor size is more important and dual cameras more useful.

AnonD-77443

Re the Note 7 issues you mention. Hopefully the battery issues are now fixed. I'm not sure what lag you are talking about. My GN7 is really quick. Some people confuse data loading with lag. You can turn off transitions which often get confused with lag also. I have had my GN7 for nearly 6 weeks now with no case or screen protection (ordered some but never used it). I haven't been careful with it because of the recall... i don't have the slightest mark on the front, back or metal edges.

This seems like a bad year to really upgrade. Note7 - All the battery, overheating issues and laggy software. The entire GG5 body is completely scratch prone. iPhone 7+ - Inferior camera to Samsung flagships. Removed headphone jack. Resolution still stuck from 2012-2013. Weakest upgrade in years. The sexiest color in jet black is scratch prone and matte black is a smudge magnet which makes you miss space gray. LG V20 - LG completely failed at battery life again. Same to displays, availability, and asking price. Easily affected by small amounts of water. Others like HTC 10 is same ol', same ol'. Wait for 2017. More radical changes with the Samsung Galaxy X. The iPhone 8 will look different. The S8 will spearhead 4K displays and maybe pack 30MP or projector. If you plan to get a flagship, just buy a cheap Chinese one as a temporary. OnePlus 3 and Xiaomi Mi 5s can definitely hold most people over. I am really NOT IMPRESSED by any flagship this year by any company. And not for the asking price they ask when we all know the big changes for Samsung and Apple comes next year. Just wait until MWC arrives next March.

Well the g3 was the last good phone lg produced. Still, you can't do with it what you can with the note 7. Not even close.

Just find one of the die-hard fans of Samsung note 7 in this opinion room, and sell it to him/her. They don't mind as long as it is android and it is made by Sammy, they'll buy it from you. Have a good luck finding a buyer.

Go directly ti Samsung Store. Phone call not gonna works with all the busy fiasco going on. They are busy enough facing customer in real life and you seriously think a mere phone call gonna cut it? First come, first serve. Phone call; don't give a f***. Actually you could also replaced it with older Samsung flagship. Not neccessarily replace your Note7 with a Note7. If they say they cant give you refund or other flagship model, they are simply too lazy to go through the procedure of doing it.

Janettuff91

I bought the Note 7 from Samsung.com. I will NEVER do that again. Now, I have a phone that is a piece of crap in my desk at work, because my husband won't let me bring it home, and I can't get them to refund my money! I paid almost $1000.00 for this stupid phone! I have called Samsung about 30 times and I keep getting passed around and put on never-ending hold where no one ever picks up. I am so upset. I just want my money back!

Good decision.

I purchased the Note 7 when it was released. I had it for 2 days before I heard of the battery issue. I immediately returned the phone to VZW. 3 days ago I picked up a another Note 7 that was part of the new release. I am honestly not as impressed as I was hoping. I've had issues with battery performance and occasional laggy response. I am under impressed especially considering the premium price tag on this phone. I do however love the screen and size of the phone. I like the edge menus. But as with all Android phones there are constant issues with apps running in the background and poor memory management. I carry two phones. The other is an iPhone 6S Plus which always runs smooth as silk. But Apple is behind times with their screen resolution. Until Android resolves their memory management issues I will stick with the iPhone. I am returning this 2nd Note 7.

I've been searching for that temperature people are claiming as as "overheating"... nothing on the exact "overheating". Here's an actual temperature screenshot of a normal wired charging of the Note7 a few weeks ago... It can go 41° Celsius with downloading or gaming. What more with the silly fast charging or wireless charging. I'd like to see some metrics from these claims of "overheating". I'd like for them to show something above 45°C. And oh, the Note7 can also just go relatively cool at 35°C while charging. 5 more days till I get my replacement. We have two trolls here trying their utmost for some attention to their Note.5.

Life is indeed truly ironic, that this issue of the battery had to happen, because the Galaxy Note7 is absolutely an amazing global flagship phone (Phablet) & it deserves all the respect, because it is really fantastic

Pedro-TheNeighbor

Heehee, certain people are quick to say something about overheating without even first-hand account. Charging any smartphone can get the temperature up by 40 degrees Celsius at the peak. Even more if you are using it with a heavy load at the same time. No reports of what temperature it was "overheating", or "losing power quickly" cold be the initial result during the reboot and installing stage - we all know it takes tremendous amount of power setting up your device for the first time. 5 more days till I get my replacement, and will gladly give an honest report on the matter. The reports seem to be just originating from Korea, and it might just be the negative marketing propaganda of their competitors. If they are. We never heard of these issues when Samsung started selling the ones in China with the safe batteries.

5 days now since my note 7 have been recalled. and samsung malaysia gave me galaxy A5 2016 as a loan phone. need to wait until 29th sept. i hope soooo.. my opinion is, i am might be not affected by exploding thing from samsung. as my phone never showing any sign to have battery defects. my phone not even warming when using while charging using third party charger. but the story of me to begin annoying with samsung is when they forced people to return their phones for exchanged. and the worst is people need to wait another years to get the new safe one. this is to show how desperate they are to released this phone before making a proper test of it. this also to show how they want to be always number one in the world. they produce to much phone everyday. as u can see they used poor quality things inside their devices. before get it i'd waiting for couple of weeks. then when get it, i need to pay an extra buck because i am not a preorder one. and after get it, i need to return it and wait for couple of weeks again??? yesss... i know samsung is concern about their customers safety and LIFE. but you should concern about that before you even released that things and make a proper test first??? samsung you really one to be number one right?? and now recalled all the note7 devices all over the world without knowing which are defected units except for china. this means china made one are better than yours? here are my experienced with samsung. I begin to used samsung devices since i8910 omnia hd. then every years all my phone are samsung. all galaxy series and note series i have been used for a past years. btw i also using other devices which is apple starting from iphone 4 until now iphone 6s. thats mean i'am using samsung and apple for my daily life. yes.. i admit that smsung has improved their device technology every year. with new kind of tech that others hard to catch. this is why samsung become famous. but samsung really made their device using less quality things. the most common issue i had with samsung is overheating, poor speaker quality, lagging software even note 7 has a lagging software too. I also hated apple for restricted their phone that user cannot doing anything to their phones unless they jailbroken it. but i still using apple product because of it simplicity, and the most important is the smoothnes of their user interfaces. and their quality too... gsmarena stated that iphone 6s scored below average loudspeaker quality, but when i faced - to - faced it with note 7, its clearly iphone sound more crisp and you can even hear a bass sound from its speaker. now using galaxy a5 2016.. on the paper its like a beast... but using it.. its the worst. design is beauty. inside are nightmare. phone lagging like hell. and phone overheating tooo.. this u called 2016 devices? i think lenovo is more speedier than this. this remind me back years ago when my note 2 suddenly become very hot until u can see a light smoke coming out. luckily note2 has a removable battery when I quickly removed it. it happen to me twice before i changed it to galaxy s3. if u want to use samsung devices and getting rid of lagging thing please use third party launchers like NOVA launcher my favorite one. touchwiz is the worst launcher in the world. now back to where I start annoying with samsung. Its the recall thing. they should prepare the safe one on the spot exchange to customers to avoid waiting. but that is not happen because of greediness of them. the victim of this scenario is not only the people who are facing the exploding and burning. we all the note 7 user too are the victims now. we cant use our expensive 'time bombs' for a very while now. and still waiting with hope. serve you right SAMSUNG. u are to greedy. to desperate to be number #1. now we know u made your devices using poor quality materials.. I lost my faith to you samsung. Note7 might be my last devices from you. I lost my faith not because the exploding things. it is because of i am really annoying with this recalled thing and all this time your software support are very poor. hurm.. i will missing S-pen.. i hope other brands espcially apple will make phone with wacom pen digitizer or whatever they called it. see i am not samsung haters or apple fan. i loved both and using both since a years. and like other brands too.. not specific. this is only my opinion. my experienced. samsung really ruined my trust..... sorry bad english

I am one of the defender of the Note 7 so I know that the battery issue is very minor. This is one of the best 2016 smartphone, and one of the best of Samsung yet. It has it all: Camera, MicroSD slot, USB-C, QHD SuperAMOLED display, Android 6.0.1 with Nougat coming soon, design, new S-Pen, TouchWiz enhancements (altrough sometimes there are problems and lost of features with it like using an SD card as internal storage extension), powerful SoC in both variants, iris scanner...

6 days before my region's official exchange program begins. There's just one report of an exploding Note7, and it was faked. Anyway, I've been sketching again with it after the OTA update. The S Pen has been wonderfully accurate and responsive when I need details. I discovered that the pro version of Sketchbook has some advanced oil painting simulations close to the real thing. I can blend colors easily. The Note7 isn't created to match desktop digital illustration yet, with the limited pixel size per drawing. Have a look at a sketch I did within the fittest week when I got the Note7:

AnonD-77443

The risk on the old GN7 was tiny (probably 1 in 40 or 50k). Any battery can explode.. especially if you don't use proper chargers. The risk with the new Note 7 is that tiny its not worth worrying about... there is more risk getting out of bed and driving your car. My new Note 7 should be here in 5 days... Samsung has said we can keep the headphones and chargers from the old device we return... bonus :-)

I am retiring my S4 and planning to replace it with the new and improved version of Note 7 coming this October. But honestly, I am scared. I'm thinking of settling with an S7 Edge instead but I really like having an S pen. Can you all gadget experts tell me if I could trust Samsung again? Exploding batteries is a serious matter, not to mention a hassle in airport security procedures. Thank you.

I hope you realize you want to compare a mid-end device with a super premium device and that this is not possible. Compare the P2 with the G4+, compare the Note 7 with the V20.

Pedro-TheNeighbor

iPhone 4 had that antenna issue in 2010. I thought the S2 was more impressive. It had no LTE. 2011 was the first time I bothered getting a real smartphone - the Galaxy Note, because of the S Pen. It was the first to have split-screen functionality, has the biggest screen after the Dell Streak. 8 months later, the Note II, which I was able to produce better drawings because the S Pen had level of pressure sensitivity went up from 256 to 1024. I was able to produce this: Another 12 months later, in late 2013, it was the Note 3, with the S Pen's same level of pressure sensitivity stuck at 1024. It had the infrared remote control function. It had LTE. Note 4 in 2014 was impressive, a refinement, and the S Pen had 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity. It wasn't enough to nudge me to get it. Note.5 was a big disappointment with no memory expansion, 32 GB version was the only option in countries like mine. I was planning to get it, however the memory expansion was a big is big issue. Even taking out past features and putting glass at the back was counter-innovative. Fast-forward Note7, this was what the Note.5 should have been at least, and I would have gotten it. The Note 3's slower focus was getting to me, especially trying to record my toddler son's moments. And the fact the S Pen's level of pressure sensitivity was quadruple from the Note 3's. Note is a keeper. I'm getting my replacement by next week, and I would not have to keep worrying with the chance of 1 out of 42,000 chance of it exploding DURING charging.

Give it time. The Note7 will get more appreciated and beloved as time goes on while phones like the iPhone 7/7 Plus won't age as gracefully for having inferior design, display, battery life, and cameras to the bad misconception of the "exploding" Note7 which doesn't deserve its bad reputation. As time goes by, Note7 will be appreciated. Apple fans can continue on their smear campaign. The smarter folks will realize in a few years the Note7 was always the better phone. Once the smoke clears, Note7 > iPhone 7 Plus. You know it is true but some people are in denial right now. Apple is rehashing the same resolution and design for years... Note7 will age like fine wine. Every iPhone with incremental updates will age like spoiled milk while every future iOS update will slow it down. Apple does planned obsolescence better than Samsung.

Best Smartphone 2010 - Apple iPhone 4 2011 - Apple iPhone 4s 2012 - Apple iPhone 5 2013 - Samsung Galaxy Note 3 2014 - Samsung Galaxy Note 4 2015 - Samsung Galaxy S6 edge 2016 - Samsung Galaxy Note7 Android was not mature enough yet until the post-Ice Cream Sandwich era. Each year could be arguable but this is asking which phone aged the best and the one you can go back to and feel comfortable using now for 2016? I remember HTC One M7 was a standout in early 2013. Issues galore with purple photos and battery life was average to awful. Took 3.5 hours to charge. Looking back, Note 3 was the all-around better phone besting Nexus 5 and LG G2 because it had microSD slot and removable battery. For longtime Note users, the Note 3 is still a personal favorite. Samd thing happened in 2014. HTC One M8 and OnePlus One were standouts. S5 was maligned for bad design. The iPhone 6/6 Plus only had 1gb RAM. Why would anyone go back to an iPhone 6 when the Note 4 had 3gb, QHD, microSD slot, and the last Note with removable battery? At the end, Note 4 stood out ahead of its class besting the awful battery life from the LG G3. Last year, you can make a case S6 edge stood out the best although its main Achilles was battery life. It changed the game for Samsung for better and for worse in design shedding its ugly design label. But Note5 losing both removable battery and microSD slot made it one of the worst Note entries ever. This year, Note7 regains microSD slot. Gains dual edges from the S6 era and water-resistance from the S5 era. Let's compare Note7 vs S7 edge. Design - Push (look nearly alike) Display - Note7 (slightly) Camera - Note7 (slightly) Battery Life - S7 edge (slightly) Forget the recall. LG boot loops are far more common than exploding Note7s. The only advantage S7 edge has is GG4 doesn't scratch as easily and slightly better battery life. It is proven on this site Note7 has the slightly better camera than its S7 sibling. Not to mention all the S-Pen features. Samsung is a true OEM. The only brand that can build a phone completely in-house. Samsung builds skyscrapers and tanks. Don't underestimate that Samsung only makes phones and TVs. All these Chinese makers only offer phones cheaper because they copy others and save money on R&D. You can try to save money but you get what you pay. You want the best? You pay top dollar for it. Don't waste your time on other alternative brands like I did because you hate Samsung. Only their software is an advantage but lose consistently in hardware to Samsungs. It is arguable that Samsung has usually made the best smartphone of the year during the past half decade with the best camera or all-around features and it is typically a Note phone. In 3-5 years from now, you will look back at 2016 and say Note7 was the best for its year. An iPhone 7 Plus, LG V20, Google Pixel XL, HTC 10, ZTE Axon 7, Xiaomi Mi 5, and OnePlus 3 are all fighting for 3rd place. Design Display Cameras Battery Life ^ Samsung generally is best in class in all those or near the top. Best of 2016 1. Note7 2. S7 edge 3. [insert your favorite non-Samsung flagship here]

That's good for you. Personally I liked the large size and also the few times I used the S-pen it was handy but it didn't make or break the phone. As I implied it was handy but in no way a necessity.

I never said it was a bad phone. It was very good in fact. But it was no where near what it should have been. I liked it too but it's sad when it doesn't even have a noticeable speed difference from my 2 year old G3. Regardless of options or the battery-gate

New, Safe Galaxy Note 7 Units Are Overheating While Charging The flagship Galaxy Note 7 could be the worst handset that Samsung designed, in terms of problems. After having serious issues with battery, which caused the device to catch fire while on charge, the new safe variant seems to have problems of its own. Some customers in South Korea who have participated in the exchange program are now reporting that the new phone is overheating and losing battery power as it is being charged. Thankfully there are no reports of explosions, but if the phone is overheating, it is only a matter of time before something like that happens. We are still waiting to see if the issue affects only some phones or all new Galaxy Note 7 units.

Please the V20 has 2X optical zoom and wide angel and a 3 types of focus and a 16 MP sensor and a color spectrum sensor which will beat the note 7 when the real unit comes out and it has android 7.0 the first time you turn it on and it has a removable battery which you can repair for 15 JDs not 100 and a full metal body not a full glass also the note 7 is not scratch resistant it scratches the same level a plastic screen scratch at and the v20 is not a fingerprint magnet unlike the note 7 and the V20 has MIL-STD-810G certified which is as durable as the s7 active and the V20 has dual displays and the V20 has a wide angle front camera not as you said and the audio is so much better on the V20 and the V20 has quick charge 3.0 when the note 7 has 2.0 and the V20 comes with a B&O play headphones

The exploding is a no-issue anymore. Since you don't need the S Pen at all, and you think it's part of the "gimmick" to lure buyers, then you're better off with the S7 Edge.

In all honesty I am disappointed with Samsung. I switched grim my LG G3 when the Note first came out. It was a great phone and I truly have to compliment the screen brightness and vivid colors and the battery life was very good/borderline great but left a lot to be desired. I returned my Note 7 because I wasn't comfortable over the battery issue. I'm not sure I can trust any samsung battery for quite a while. The sad part is I reactivated my LG G3 and I have to say for a two year old phone I expected it to feel like it was running extremely slow. It didn't I truly can't tell a noticeable difference between this two year old phone and the brand new Galaxy Note 7, also another sad fact is for a only slightly smaller screen it truly appears to be clearer and sharper. Samsung does crush it in terms of color and brightness though. The Battery life is the only other large improvement. In terms of features the large features on the Note were very gimmicky. I never once used the curve screen window, never touched the iris scanner, only rarely used the S pen but I don't use it to draw. It was handy when I did use it though. I did use the fingerprint scanner but it was very finnicky and often didn't work right and I would end up typing in my password anyhow. Also autocorrect never worked like many other people have said. All in all it was a very "good" phone. It was by no stretch what it should have been and especially what it was rumored to be initially. I have to say I'm truly disappointed that I didn't even notice a speed difference backtracking to a 2 year old phone. That says something about how horrible Samsung's UI system runs. This comes from someone who loves Android and has pretty much always used Android. I have to say I'm extremely disappointed with Samsung on the new Note 7 and truly majority of what I said was not based on the battery issue. That's another subject but I guess they shouldn't cut corners. Overall I truly wouldn't recommend the phone based solely on it's poor performance and gimmicky features. I'm going to hold on to my old LG G3 for now because I have no idea what else to get. Honestly the Note 7 was so bad performance wise it has nearly pushed me into considering Apple which I'm strongly against. I have never had an IPhone. I hope this review helps someone decide what phone they want to or not want to get. I tried to make this review as absolutely brutally honest as I could. Thank you

Battery life is pretty superb, with over 6 hours SOT on Wi-Fi, 5 hours SOT on LTE. Same SOT with S7 Edge. Drawing with the enhanced active digitizer pen (S Pen) with 4096 levels of pressure is just pure pleasure. I'm coming from the Note 3's S Pen's 1024 levels of pressure. The S Pen in action:

I don't see RAM management as a problem for the Note7. This thing just runs ok, without worrying about how much RAM is left every time. Why bother with a zoom lens if it's just f/2.8 with no OIS?

Agreed. The stylus is the reason i got into the note series in the first place. Camera, display, and everything else comes second priority. Maybe except for battery life.

Yes , I agree ! The lag is a bigger issue then explosion ! Explosion will be well prevented after the crisis Samsung has just went through ! But the lag is something that seems Samsung can never over come ! That's what really makes me reconsider of buying the note 7 ! I love the nice features it offeres , but none will be useful if the phone start lagging ! Let's hope Samsung can really gets it right soon ~.

Note7 is the smartphone to beat in 2016. Don't care if the recall hoopla got overblown by Apple shareholders who control the media to help sell more iPhone 7s. Note7 still excels from Apple fans' smear campaign. Design Cameras Display Battery Life The only advantage 7+ has is that killer feature of 2x optical zoom. But it loses in several photo and video recording comparisons. The audio quality is still in mono and the front cam is too close. Not wide angle to eliminate selfie sticks. The only area V20 seems to excel is audio. If you are paying over $700+, you might as well get the phone that is the best in more areas. Both iPhone 7+ and V20 have consistently lost in those key areas. V20 lags behind in display and battery life. Only area Note7 might lose is during speed tests and RAM management. But software is easily correctable with updates and the Note7 replacements supposedly have a software update that improved the speed and smoothness of the early lag. Snapdragon or Exynos, the Note7 is still the smartphone to beat in 2016. The S7 edge is a close 2nd. The rest are fighting for 3rd.

There is no excuse for Samsung phones to have the slowest commands response. Samsung Galaxy Tab s2 8.0 is well optimized and doesn't have any of these issues and yet all Samsung smartphone still have millisecond to a second delay in many commands (especially home botton)

if you afraid to use finger print scanner, why use the eye scanner. don't setup any of them. stick to a very long alpha-numeric password. the scanners are not a bad idea. its there for who wants to use them. its called having options. no one said the use of them was mandatory. you know what is a bad idea....... storing data that could get you in trouble on an internet connected phone.

The S Pen is what differentiates from the S series. People like us don't care so much for the S8. Same feelings I had for the S3, S4, S5, S6 and S7 - if it doesn't have an S Pen, it's really half of what you're paying for who are used to writing and drawing. Sure, it's a glimpse of what the next Galaxy Note would be, but nothing to be envious about, except when the the S7 came out and had more features than the Note.5. The Note7 exchange program has a deadline, from October 1, up to December 31 for my region. Next Note will still be 10 months away.

AnonD-183089

in some regions note 7 will be back again for sales by the end of the year as in Europe by end of November!!! which means 2 months away from S8 release and in my country the replacement program didn't launch yet :( note 7 sales will be affected a lot as many persons will choose to wait for S8 on February 2017!! Read on sammobile that note 7 sales will be 60 % only comparing to Note 5 last year! :(

The new Note7 replacements have a software update that made the UI faster, smoother, and improved battery life for the T-Mobile and Verizon (Snapdragon 820) versions. Go on Android Central forums to read about the improved software. The laggy UI is what concerned me more than explosions. Looks the Note7 is back and better than ever!

I just checked this and its correct. The 60% battery restriction can be lifted to 80% under Device maintenance > Battery > Advanced settings (top right). Reboot will reset it to max 60%.

Very true. Just some optimization and it will fly. For example Sony optimizes their software very well and it works very smooth with 3GB ram.

If you have an old note 7 you will be now limited to 60%..... HOWEVER.... Under battery > advanced settings you can disable this to allow max 80% charge... if you turn off your phone it will default back to max 60% charge.

I had the choice to update or not... Well, at that moment, I was in a bad spot, and it cancelled the update. The notification just sat there on the cog-wheel settings icon.

LG V20 - terrible battery life, screen color is not calibrated correctly. iPhone 7 Plus - there's nothing to be excited about it. As it turns out, where the headphone jack used to be placed has some plastic to fill up the void, and Apple's excuse of "courage" turns out to be a move to earn more revenues from selling lightning connections for headphones, and pushing for their silly-looking AirPods. Same iOS, and need for iTunes over a computer to manage files. Bezels are the same silly top and bottom chin side. Price is just silly high with not features much features. Just yuck. One Plus 3 - no memory expansion. That one thing is about the only thing that I don't like about it even with such an affordable price. S7 Edge - well worth than above mentioned for its outstanding camera, screen, water-resistance, memory expansion, and long battery life. Note7 just wipes every device you mentioned. The trolls who are hanging on to the excuse of 1 out of 42,000 chance of explosion DURING charging will be practically gone. And none of the above has the S Pen - which besides the camera and memory expansion, is the reason why people like me get it. Jotting down notes, sketching, and navigational precision. I'm still going that Samsung gives the Note series the removable battery option, just cramp in 5000mAh. I still need to charge one time in the day so I can have battery until late evening, despite the fact I can get 7 hours SOT from a full charge. No one should be draining the battery often if they want the device to last long.

Just saw a battery comparison video of Note7 v iPhone 7 Plus. This was the less efficient Snapdragon 820 Note7 and it still outlasted the 7+! It lasted 1 hr longer in video playback. Imagine had it been Exynos? The camera comparison from SuperSaf was great too especially regarding the audio recording. It got me completely convinced the 7+ has poorer cameras on both sides and its only real advantage is the 2X optical zoom which is gimmicky in low light as it is just digital zoom in disguise. Design Note7 > iPhone 7+ Camera(s) Note7 > iPhone 7+ Battery Life Note7 > iPhone 7+, Snapdragon 820 still beat it Software/RAM management Note7 < iPhone 7+ Note7 also has the brightest screen at 1000 nits. And also is smaller and narrower while having a 0.2 bigger display. The only attractive iPhone 7+ is the matte black which attracts fingerprints too. All four color options of the Note7 look good. It takes nearly 3 hrs to charge a iPhone 7+. Cut it down to 2 hrs and 15 min with an iPad charger. The Note7 takes only 90 minutes. The tired old explosion jokes need to go away. It beats iPhone 7+ in several key aspects like camera and battery life. I really like its selfie cam (wide angle). No need of a selfie stick and the video recording is in stereo while iPhone 7+ is stuck on mono! Go on forums and LG has a far more common issue with the reboot loop on the G4, G5, and V10. This is far, far more common and has happened on three different phones already! I might not take a gamble on the V20 and might just go Note7. I can't trust LG while Samsung will sort this out after the recall. Just cover up the back with a dbrand skin if you hate smudges. You can't deny what a great all-around phone Note7 still is. Pre-recall or post-recall, this is still the best smartphone of the year. Don't hate if you never owned it or just read stories about the explosions. Still arguably the best out there.

I opened my Note7 this afternoon, and got a message that it will have an update to limit the battery to charge only to just 60%. I'm happy to comply to this move, if it means giving some safety measure. I implore fellow Note7 users to do so. The trolls here will go on about the 1 out of 42,000 chance of explosion - they don't really care about anyone's safety, they just wabt to make excuses for their sour graping and think the Note.5 is still "the best". Note7 replacements are getting to their owners for most countries in about a week or so. I still blame Samsung execs for to much rushing

I am fairly OS agnostic although I do prefer Android on my smartphone but plan to get an iPad mini 4 for FREE because my carrier is offering it to me. I think fanboy posturing is a waste of time. Enjoy them all. I am going LG V20 under AT&T. Planning to get Note8 next year and Exynos. I don't want the inferior SoC inside my Samsungs. Whatever you choose, it is all good. Samsung Galaxy Note7 (Exynos) Samsung Galaxy S7 edge (Exynos) Apple iPhone 7 Plus LG V20 OnePlus 3 (best value) All five are great, folks. Avoid that iPhone 7 Minus. The 2X optical zoom is a killer and exclusive feature for the 7 Plus. Perfect for taking photos and recording videos during events like concerts. Why go gold when you can go platinum with the Plus? But my heart is with LG this year. Removable battery is a must for me after this Note7 battery debacle. Samsung will learn from their Note7 debacle and make the 8 great! Doesn't mean the Note7 is terrible with its stigma. Still has the best design, brightest display and best overall camera found on any smartphone of 2016. The iPhone 7 Plus lost to it in low light, dynamic range, selfie, and audio quality from the video recording. Note7's cam is an improvement of the S7 edge. Don't hate on the Note7. Still arguably the best out there.

Whether it's the improved camera, the metal-and-glass chassis, the oodles of power involved (from Samsung’s own octa-core Exynos chipset) or just the fact that the TouchWiz software it runs on top of Android looks less childish these days, Samsung's got a lot right here and this is a brilliant phone. The S Pen does come in useful quite often, and there are interesting features such as iris recognition for security.

We can't tell you how close it is between the Galaxy Note 7, iPhone 6S Plus and S7 Edge for the title of 'best smartphone in the world.'

While you exaggerate it will take months to replace them, regular sale of Note7 have already started in the US. You know that. Other markets restart selling note7 by October 21. It means Samsung has replenished stocks - no excuse for Samsung not being able to supply within a month. Anyone holding on to the first wave of Note7 and not taking advantage of the total recall will have a chance of .0001% of it exploding! Based on the statistics of the US having nearly 100 exploding out of 1 million. Hahahaha - that's the probability you are hoping for? Pathetic. Even with Samsung's official probability 1 out of 42,000 is .00024%! While you PRETEND-insist THAT THEY STILL EXPLODE, I know you just want the price to go down, and cheaper for you to spend for one.

Note7 still has the best camera on a smartphone in 2016. I saw the Supersaf video and iPhone 7 Plus has terrible mono audio for video recording and dynamic range is poor. Samsung's ISOCELL still blows away the typical BSI sensors in low light. Only thing I like from the 7+ is that zoom. Also, PhoneBuff had the Note7 drop 50x face down. Still worked. The iPhone 7+ took only 10x until it stops working. Where Samsung S7 and Note7 is poor is RAM management. They tend to lose speed tests to OnePlus 3 and LG G5. Note7 is still one of the best phones out there. Forget the recall. Damage has been done? Keep saying that to yourselves. Note7 may no longer sell as well but Samsung with billions of dollars across all industries will recover. Foldable displays will make this recall a footNote. And this will push Samsung to make the Note8 so much better next year.

non-removable battery????...is Samsung nuts!!!

Received mine beginning September. No problems. Then Samsung called and asked to send it back and have it replaced with an S7 till new stock arrives. I told them to send replacement Note 7 as soon as new stock arrives. Then a "brilliant" software self installed itself limiting battery life to 60%. Ridiculous. I am old enough to decide whether I want to take the risk or not, dont need Samsung to baby sit me.... Phone also gets stuck every now and then and needs restart. I will seriously reconsider the replacement brand next year

"Started in some countries" ONLY. Just like when you insists that 64GB Note 5 was available in "some countries only". Means that replacement has not yet started in MOST countries and there are still exploding Note 7 in the markets. Perhaps it will take another six months to finish all the replacement mess. By that time new Note 8 will be few months for launching and that will be my next Note phone. For sure it will beat your explosive phone all the way especially with safety.

Note.5 had no memory expansion and came 32 GB in most regions. My Note 3 had 32 GB and memory expansion. No one with a logical mind can go for a 32 GB only Android device in 2015. 64 GB models were "special order". Note7 has corrected that, with many improvements. Note.5 was just a failed experiment to see if they can do an Apple move with no memory expansion. It's not sour grapes on my part- I NEVER wanted anything to do with a device that had less features than my Note 3. I can't sour grapes on something I'm not impressed with functions wise. Instead, I used my money to get my wife an S7 Edge. Note7 surpasses everything over the Note.5. You can't deny that, and all you can do is just go on with exploding - which is not an issue anymore. I won't be surprised if you actually bought a Note7 next month to upgrade away from the Note.5.

Yeah, I've experienced my wife's S7 Edge's camera capabilities, and I was very convinced of getting the Note7 with the same sensor. S Pen and memory expansion are musts also top reasons. And then the extra features of water-resistance, iris scanner, glance, screen resolution control, USB Type C, HDR video recording and screen, great SOT (Exynos), Edge tools, etc., makes it worth it than mere iPhone 7, or older devices. Some people here are absolute losers when they keep mentioning about the exploding issue. While it will hurt Samsung's sales, no one can't deny that Note7 IS the smartphone to beat.

The explosion was caused just by a manufacturing error. They struggled to make the device thinner and squished the battery.

Here is, what happens, if manufacturers STRUGGLE for slim design. Well deserved. But it should happen to iPhone and S6 too. Hyun Yeul Lee (also knwon as Hyun Yeul Liar/Rookie) is at fault. Sacrificing practicallity for design? PLEASE do the opposite and make the phone as thick as an iPhone 2G for 6000 mAh and more sensors (UV, Hygrometer, Temperature sensor and more place for a camera with a bigger image sensor) Sacrificing design for convenience? That happened on the S6! On the unpacked event, Samsung said, that they didn't do so. But they did. Liars. I'm glad that S7 edge and the older Galaxy Notes are not affected.

I wont spend a penny on the piece of cracky plastic you're talking about. A "flagship" that looks and feels like a 10 USD phone. Calm down please.

ANONIMUS PRIME

Yeah, still got the good ol' GN4 here. Will skip GN5 for GN7 when new stocks arrive

ANONIMUS PRIME

Thank you for your kind reply bro

It's your opinion, enjoy your explosive device with gimmick features

Perez5k

That's your opinion bro

my dear ... the logic says if u buy some thing and take it out of ur pocket in a different shape it shud be replaced... unless ur getting it free and with no warranty. without taking long on this... i think Samsung took huge step further to prove how professional and confident of its flag ship products.... where others still sells gifts for GF and BF.

Buying a $900 phone and not switching it on. For what? Status symbol? You cannot even enjoy all your stuff and features. Now who is ignorant? While we are still enjoying the Note 5 in all its glory and safety ever since.

There's a difference between a device bending in someone's pocket and a phone catching fire or exploding. Let me rephrase what I said before, don't take business classes, you have to have some sort of logic beforehand.

I was really hoping Microsoft would have went through with the Surface Phone Pro. Would have been a direct competitor to the Note as it was supposed to have a competitive stylus. They stuck with the Lumina so it's pretty basic. Even the Note 4 kicks Lumina's ass.

the second selling brand had their device bending... did it hurt the brand ! despite they did not recall, the answer is NO .....why ?? i suggest u attend some business classes.... even the recent new device for this brand has some hearing problems and also some problems recorded with the stability of the new software update ...are they going to lower their prices !!! i dont think so .... for any answers please contact the company sales department

Worse gpu, CPU, chipset and processor? You do realize CPU, and processor, and chipset are the same thing? Instead of repeating the same thing in different words you can just tell "worse proccessor".

Ahmed, are you using the Note7 now? If so...kudos! This is most fantastic and superb review. It shows how far and how conversant you are with android and Samsung family. This is indeed a giant strides of high tech leap! Galaxy Note7 is a most!

From your write up, you know only a little about the Lumia devices, let me walk you through some features you don't know about, so that in the future when Samsung copies them you will be aware. L950xl does not have sAMOLED, but it has clear black display, which in my opinion is way better, especially for sunlight readability. Always on display was made by samsung to challenge the glance screen which is available only on Lumia devices, glance screen uses zero battery to display, it has more feature than always on, you can set any apps you to notify you on the glance screen, you can choose variety colours for it at night, you make it go away when you do not need it especially at night. The cpu, gpu, were the best as at the date of production. Snapdragon is not the maker of the processor on Sammy note 7 I cannot say which is best, but I do know that snapdragon is among the best in what they do. 3gb RAM on windows 10 mobile is more than sufficient, my guess is you might only need it when you are using continuum. As for the store, you do not know about it, so I live there. For heart rate, I have my Microsoft band, it measures my heart rate, my sleep, and many more health and fitness features, it is among the most accurate health/fitness band. However, when it comes to matters regarding my heart I only trust the doctors advice I do not joke with health because of a feature on a phone. Fingerprint scanner is not the best way of securing your device, cos when you pass out or you are asleep, anyone can swipe your finger on your device and have full access. I guess that is why note 7 has iris scanner, but I do like fingerprint scanner very much, so I agree with you on this one. Do you know you can hook your phone to larger screen like your TV set, the windows 10 mobile begin perform like a PC? Do you know that you can access you 2TB hard drive storage capacity with L950xl, just connect your continuum? Do you know you can use both wired and wireless keyboard and mouse on L950xl and bluetooth keyboard and mouse as well? Do you know that the virtue keyboard on L950(xl) is awesome; it has a joystick to move the cursor around, it can be resized, the keyboard can be moved around to any where on the screen? Do you know apps corner allow you to select the apps you want your friend to have access to on your device, without giving him access to EVERY other part, apps etc on the device? Do you know that windows 10 mobile is more secured than android? Do you know that all my Microsoft apps/services are available on all mobile OS? I can access to my Microsoft services irrespective of the OS which makes me more productive. Do you know that there are no bloatware on windows phone? Any apps that is not a traditional phone app can be deleted. Do you know that you can double tap on the screen to wake, and double tap on navigation area to sleep? Very useful when you holding your coffee and you want to wake/lock your phone with the other hand while your phone is lying on your desk in the office. Just double tap. Do you know that you can swipe from bottom to hide the navigation keys? It prevents accidental touching of the nav. keys during use, and also create more real estate for use. Did you notice that all features I mentioned above makes your more business productive? No gimmicks. I once had a note 3. I only use the s-pen for navigating the phone, screen shot, writing notes, creating tiny windows for viewing movies and other multitasking, I am not artist, I do not know to draw. It was a gimmick feature, just like the heart rate, can you trust it to be accurate?

AnonD-430264

Well nevermind, they deleted my original post because it wasn't some crap troll post. So forget this one...

"I hated my Note 5" Gotta love autocorrect

Pedro-TheNeighbor

Yup, Samsung already paying dearly for the mistake. Lowering the price for something that cost some $300 to make and charging more than twice that is the plausible move. As much as I enjoy using the Note7's capabilities like being able to draw even finer details with the improved S Pen, I have stopped using it. The probability of between 1 out of 42,000 and 1 out of 10,000 of it exploding is pretty high. I just don't want it exploding while i put it usually in my top shirt pocket. Australia, Hong Kong, and other countries are getting theirs replaced starting today. Mine's getting replaced in less than 2 weeks later. The stigma of all the trouble and reputation of Note7 exploding will not go away so soon. Parag and that other Note.5 user will be very happy to buy it some at $600 and will never admit getting it. I'm already laughing.

KID, if samsung mentioned that it is always on display supported it doesn't mean LUMIA 950 doesn't, and by the way you have mentioned cpu performance how did you compare? and regarding its store did you actually checked it out or just typed by the word of mouth.. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, KIDDDD,, What about Camera? .... LOLZ, I have Lumia 930 and I am ready to compete with you Samsung and Iphone Flaghship device cameras. R U READY ?

AnonD-430264

Wrong. The big mistake was rushing out a phone not giving a damn about their fans and creating a mess with battery issues. You don't think that hurt their brand? Go take some business classes. Aren't you the one who suggested that after all this they "raise" the price? There's no logic in that.

KHL

if they do that ... its big mistake

Make ur stats right...lumia 950 was not the first device to have iris scanner it was fugitsu phone.

AnonD-586605

The Galaxy Note 7 is the best smart phone that I have ever owned. I say this despite the battery issue which I have full confidence that Samsung will fix. To date only 10% of the recalled Samsung smartphones have been exchanged which tells me that either people are not taking the recall seriously or they are waiting for more replacement stock to become available. I will also say that from a temperature standpoint the Galaxy Note 7 is much cooler than the Galaxy S6. Note 7 is a really nice phone and I think that once the dust settles it will become one of the top two phones out there. I think Apple has missed the mark with the iPhone 7 but, only time will tell.

AnonD-550733

Its price will drop surely. It will come around 700-750$(most probably).
