After owning the Note 5 for a few months I got the itch to buy the S7 edge..
After a few days with it I have come to these assumptions.

Welcome.
That fifth point made me laugh so hard xD
Lol i was just thinking about to try s7 edge because it does looks dope
Ain't gonna switch from my 6p for atleast 3 years :sly:
Updates is one of the biggest reasons I don't think I could leave the Nexus line anymore. Another reason is touchwiz...or any other skin. I can't handle it. And the fact we already have a Android N preview while most devices aren't even on marshmallow yet...lol seals it all.
My Note 5 has been sitting in a drawer since I got my 6p, just saying hahaha

Bro i bought the 6p outta pocket, obv, so I was able to upgrade through sprint, the s7 edge was enticing so iiwent for it. Bringing it right back at 13 days. In 2 days the thing is bogged down so bad, the6p blows it outta the water. Doesn't help the bootloaders locked down to all hell.. That thing will never see root

Hell yea, not only that man.. Snapdragon 820.... The damn S7 edge still lags. I can't believe it.
Yes it's much snappier than my Note 5 but still.. It's 3 days old & it's lagging already

Trust me, typing on the edge screen is horrible! I know from experience as I replaced my nexus 5 with the S6 edge (emerald green) last year in April. It was one of my major irritants (as well as the horrible battery life) and was one of the reasons why I wished I had just held on to my nexus 5 until the 6p was released and purchased the 6p outright. I sold my s6 edge without any hesitation and reverted back to the 6p. Planning on using this phone for 2 years or if possible 3 years.

I've never actually tried the S7 yet in hand...but ive played with all the other Samsung devices...and HTC and LG etc. Enough to know I don't care what processor they have, they won't work like a Nexus. And they lack updates massively. The newer Samsung design is certainly gorgeous no doubt....but still not enough to pull me from Nexus. I'm awaiting the new Google flagship.
It is amazing to me how much the S6 lags with any resource hogging apps, just a silly game, facebook, hangouts and chrome. So it does not surprise me the S7 would lag too.

i want all of your opinions on whether or not trade my iphone 4. unloackable for the galaxy NOTE.. can you tell me how long does the battery last on your phone and if it is worth to trade it
thanks
I used to carry both an iphone and an Android phone. After getting the note, I sold my iphone and use android full time.
the battery life is fine. if you are a heavy user, carry a spare battery.
I just switched from an iPhone 4 to the Note about 2 weeks ago. I have absolutely no regrets switching. I have always had an iPhone from the first one in 2007 up until 2 weeks ago and never saw myself switching because of how the build quality of apple and smoothness of iOS was. When I used a note for the first time it blew me away the progress that android has made over the years. While I still don't think the overall build quality of this phone is iPhone status everything else is better. As far as battery goes, unless you plan on trying to go multiple days without charging then it is a non issue. It gets through a day just fine. I will say the battery life does drop faster than my iPhones did but there's really no difference to me as the note gets me through the day with plenty to spare and I charge it every night anyway. Once you get a Note you'll wonder why you used such a small screen before.
I know the screen is really small on iphone .. I used the htc titan before .. N i am thinking of trading it . For a Note but im still in doubt .. Since i am with tmobile . The internet might be the same unless i put the hack to get 4G ..
Is the camera good on the note ?

the camera is brilliant.....great pics. i take pictures and can zoom in on the smallest details of that pic and see it clearly.
The battery life won't be quite as good add your iPhone, but it will still last you through a full day. I can pull about 16 hours total with 4 hours of screen time on a charge, but I try not to look at my phone for 25% of the day anyways. The screen will make you laugh at your iPhone. The iPhone has slightly higher pixel density, but once you go Super AMOLED HD, you won't go back. The SPen also brings more usefulness than you would think. Also, with Android, even without rooting and ROMing, you can still use rings of different kings of launchers, change how your icons look, use different keyboards, and perhaps the oldest argument, view flash content.
Don't get me wrong, I like the design of iPhones, minus the small screen, and their software does run smoothly, but after 3 Android phones there is no way I could go back. IPhones are just too limited for my tastes. With my 3g, I felt like I had a nice phone that could play some cool games. With my Note, I feel like I'm carrying with a tiny computer with limitless tools at my disposal. I also like when other people pick up my phone and have no clue how to use it, but it is still way more streamlined for my own personal use than an iPhone would be.
With Android you decide how you use your phone, not Apple.

I have ALWAYS blackballed Apple for the proprietary BS... I had to bend once when my wife brought home an ipod she found. I was pretty upset that I had to deflower my xpsl702x with itunes. I am ashamed of myself for allowing this to happen, but I would have been more ashamed of myself for not following my wifes requests.
Traded my iPhone 4 for a Note and I love it
I was a die hard apple zombie.. I once believed like all others that apple would cure world hunger. I traded my iphone 4 for a Motorola artrix then a international galaxy s2 then a skyrocket and now a galaxy note.. I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW THE RAIN IS GONE..

There are a lot of Note users that came from the iPhone. I havent seen any regrets so far. I too came from the iPhone 4 to the Original GS2 then skyrocket...then the Note. It just got better everytime. Some iPhone users are way too stubborn to switch but I rather have choices than to "accept" what they give me.

I like the camera on this phone more than the one on my old ip4. I can't speak for the 4s, but the note has a better camera than ip4.
You also have many more options inside the camera and quick options for uploading images to various apps from within the gallery.

ii will trade it but I'm afraid the size of the screen will b too much ...

i chickened out on getting the note when i saw the size in person..im a iphone user 4 years and omg the iphone is so small i cant go back to it too small..youll get use to the size of the note..not really pocket friendly but depends on person to person..as for battery give it time to cycle and it will improve..but battery life depends on settings/use/rooted ect.. i love my note but sadly i have another pixel issuse so this one is going back to hopeful get another one with no pixel problems.. only thing i dont like is the camera speed capture its slow for me..battery could have been a 3000mah to give it a bit extra use..sometimes it lags depends how much ram your using and crash some apps could be bugs.. im stock GB..waiting for ICS real one..dont want to install root stuff right now
i switched from iphone to and i love my note will never go back to apple. my batt life is equal to my iphone so no complaints
Do it! If you don't like it I'll happly trade you an iphone 4 32gb unlocked with ssh saved for every firmware plus an otterbox case.

No polls, just say whichever phone you are considering to move after Your Galaxy S2. I've been having mine for almost 2 years, And it's been a hell of a ride, I still think it was a good purchase, as it can move most apps with no real problem. My biggest complain is the problem with the exynos source, which has made a lot of trouble for ROM developers.
Anyway, the battery life has been a bit poor lately (in comparison to nowadays phones), and the phone overall is seriously bumped after so much traveling around. Nothing serious, but I reckon in a few months it might decide to die. So I'm considering options, and not being completely satisfied. What would you guys consider to move after this one?
-Galaxy Note 2/S4: Awesome hardware (not so good design), both replaceable battery and SD card slot, rather horrible exynos support that causes rather wonky ROMs.
-HTC One: Awesome hardware and stylish, hate the lack of menu button, horrible dev support overall. No replaceable battery, no external SD card.
-Sony Experia Z: You can friggin put this thing under water. Good hardware, awesome dev support, SD card support but no replaceable battery. And I insist, you can friggin put this thing under water.
Actually I have the s2 with a spare battery, so I bet for the s4/note 2 also the new s4 chip it's supposed to bring more balance to the battery drain

Yeah actually my S2 lost is battery in 'Nam (lost it in a crazy bus ride there), so I have two unofficial spare batteries, a Momax (Japanese) and a Pilsen (Chinese). Both performed like the official, but after a year that Pilsen is aging faster. So yeah, a note 2 is a strong candidate battery wise, but a huge put off due to Exynos ****ty previous support (in our phone and the first note).
Lol... I just bought s2 today... So I can't move....

Don't worry, it's a rather solid phone, and with a spare battery you will be able to do anything you want with it. Mine has just had too much hits everywhere, and the lid is falling off already. Everything else works mostly as expected. Just frustrated with the poor support on Samsung side for their sources on Exynos.
The Galaxy S2 has amazing hardware and still beats a lot of dual core phones even today. In terms of performance I have no complains about it but things which I dislike in my Galaxy S2 is lack of Notification LED & Mediocre Battery life. Also poor AOSP support is one of the drawbacks of the phone.
My next phone has not launched yet and It should be like Galaxy S4 ( Powerful, Beautiful screen, Removable Battery + SD Card Slot) + HTC One (looks) + Awesome AOSP Support (like the Nexus) .
I'll not be moving to another phone. Had my s2 for 18 months and when my contract is up later this year I'll be keeping it. No issue with battery, makes calls, sms and t'interweb what more couldI I want or need.

You're a lucky one....But you still had it for only a year, right? Mine is about to make two, and got it with no contract, as I hate to be tied to a single operator (or even a locked phone...I travel rather much). Case is, mine got several hits, and even some water some months ago. The screen still shows spotless, but everything else shows huge scratches, and the battery lid is barely holding together. I'll keep it for as long as it works, but I just think that won't be much more...hence the thread

My contract runs out in November, so assuming its been launched, I'll go for a Nexus 5. All my android phones have ended up with AOSP on them, so I might as well get one that has pure AOSP from the start. I originally got this because 2 years ago Samsung were the only manufacturer who left their bootloaders unlocked. Look at the faff about with the original xperia, or what HTC are doing even now. But I'm sick of no source code and having to wait many, many months for an update, so definitely Nexus for me.

What do u think of Nexus 4 ? I'm thinking of moving to Nexus too so would appreciate your opinion
AW: [Q] What phone will you move on to after your Galaxy S2?
I'll keep my S2 as it performs very well and is great for customizing and repairing
I'm thinking either N7500 or Xperia Z.
Or the new Nexus. It seems like I dislike all stock firmware. I might as well get hardware that supports a free choise.
Still loving my S2, the music player is unbeatable with Sennheisers, and once you change the white balance away from Auto, the camera is brilliant.. Ive chopped and changed a lot of phones over the last year, but keep coming back to the S2, nothing beats it, even better than the One X IMO,.. seriously, but my next upgrade will be a Note 2... looks gorgeous.
I ordered my Graphite 64GB 6P, whoever gets it first and is ready to get testing when source drops should likely be in this thread

Out of curiosity, how are you telling how well Doze is working? I'm running Dev Preview 3 on my N6 and it's been awesome. I'm not a heavy phone user, it mainly sits on my desk at work (and at home for that matter) and the battery life has been great, drains very slowy while I'm not touching it. exponentially better than my S6. which isn't saying much

My phone doesn't sleep but then again I usually don't sit in one place for more than an hour as a college student. I haven't seen any change in my battery life from lollipop doing the same thing with the same apps. I still get random drain from apps like speed test constantly pinging my location for no reason despite not having it for days.
What model are going to trade for with your recall replacement and what is compatible in your opinion?
I am not thrilled about the glass with this phone (small crack near volume rocker)and many reports in the wild about scratches this early into release. The touch, especially the buttons feel a little less responsive than my not 5 and i swear my internet lags, especially when loading pages (but not positive on that one).
I am not one to complain about performance when each new model is first released. I have been in the game for years and years and think these few complaints with the note 7 may have leaning to pick another phone for my recall replacemt. I do like the note 7 though so tough decision.
Too bad more new phones were released in this unfortunate time
A recall for about 1 out of half a million batteries? That's still better odds than a few grains of peanut in your ice cream (which can kill some people). A new Note 7. With the odds being 1 out of half a million, the odds that the second one is also defective is probably too great to calculate on a 64 bit computer.

If rumors are correct, the Nexus Google Sailfish and Marlin phones are supposed to be released this month. The Marlin apparently has a 5.5" QHD AMOLED screen. Other rumored specs seem similar to the Note 7.

lmao you wanna go with LG? the company that consistently have quality control issues about GPS not working and overheating issues? Even though they got thousands of cases and refuse to do anything about it? Compared to Samsung where 35 devices have exploded or caught on fire and suspects about a possible 400k affected devices and they doing a full blown 2.5mill recall? ha you're funny and so is loyalty.
I'm a note 7 user and i haven't owned a Samsung device since 2010 which was my first smartphone and one of my best phones ever and since then i've moved onto Oneplus, Nexus etc so i'm not even remotely close to a Sammy fanboy but i'll tell ya what, i've only owned one LG device since back in 2012/2013 i think and it had such crappy GPS performance, literally every single device "Optimsu F7" and LG blew it over like it was nothing and said its not a problem. Now its happening to their LG G5 plus overheating issues. The day that LG told me and thousands of other customers who paid for the F7 that the GPS is functional and nothing is wrong is the day i vowed to never buy another LG device. loyalty is a funny thing and right now Samsung has my objective loyalty of how they're handling this situation.
They only did it because they didn't want to get sued. The voluntary recall was the loop hole for them.
I'll keep my note 7 until they have replacement note 7 in. Mine doesnt get hot from charging or using it. I'll watch it but i agree 35 cases out of how many phones? That's pretty good odds and nothing's flawless.

I'm a note 7 user and i haven't owned a Samsung device since 2010 which was my first smartphone and one of my best phones ever and since then i've moved onto Oneplus, Nexus etc so i'm not even remotely close to a Sammy fanboy but i'll tell ya what, i've only owned one LG device since back in 2012/2013 i think and it had such crappy GPS performance, literally every single device "Optimsu F7" and LG blew it over like it was nothing and said its not a problem. Now its happening to their LG G5 plus overheating issues. The day that LG told me and thousands of other customers who paid for the F7 that the GPS is functional and nothing is wrong is the day i vowed to never buy another LG device. loyalty is a funny thing and right now Samsung has my objective loyalty of how they're handling this situation.

Actually I have owned the g3, g4 and v10. They all perforned well, were snappy and i didn't have any of those issues (I thought the g3 was lovely). But I always returned to Samsung because the screens were better for me.

I'll keep my note 7 until they have replacement note 7 in. Mine doesnt get hot from charging or using it. I'll watch it but i agree 35 cases out of how many phones? That's pretty good odds and nothing's flawless.

I dpnt trust any carrier that says they will let you use a loaner phone until the corrected version is released. So easy for them to say well thats your phone. You traded your note 7 for that Phone. So enjoy it.

What model are going to trade for with your recall replacement and what is compatible in your opinion?
I am not thrilled about the glass with this phone (small crack near volume rocker)and many reports in the wild about scratches this early into release. The touch, especially the buttons feel a little less responsive than my not 5 and i swear my internet lags, especially when loading pages (but not positive on that one).
I am not one to complain about performance when each new model is first released. I have been in the game for years and years and think these few complaints with the note 7 may have leaning to pick another phone for my recall replacemt. I do like the note 7 though so tough decision.
Too bad more new phones were released in this unfortunate time

I'm straight swapping my existing (non defective) Note 7 for the NIB unit Samsung is going to hand over; whenever they may arrive that is.
.
As a long time (since the 2) Note series user, I may be a little biased when I say -
There is no good reason to move away from this generation of the Note.
While I do agree there currently is a noticeable performance lag when certain functions/tasks are carried out; app switching and the recents key being the most prevalent for me. Being software related, it's only a matter of time before any and all performance issues are resolved. Besides, these things are to be expected when adopting the latest and greatest.
Personally, I'm not putting any stock in the devices' (supposed) susceptibility to scratching. To be fair - I am acutely mindful of the how, what, and where my phone is being placed. As such, the device is never in a position to suffer a scratch.
All petty complaints aside, this iteration of the Note is still a vast improvement over the 5.
The way I see it is if you enjoy the device and make use of all that is has to offer - What's the point in abandoning the device for a lesser one? Especially over some silly recall, that probably could have been avoided had these people used the proper, quality, cables to charge the device in the first place.
I'm curious to know what other device(s) you're considering in it's place?

I was seriously looking into the v20. It's not as nice looking but the phone will most likely be rooted, good cameras, audio, interchangeable battery, IR blaster, can actually use a tempered glass screen protector, hopefully not as much lag as the note 7. Anyone else considering it??
So... I played a bit with a Note 8 at a Samsung Centre and compared it to the S8 and my current Note4. Here is what I found out:
The interface was extremely fluid on the S8. On the Note, not so much. I wonder if that's due to a possible preliminary software version, but it didn't look good. Small stuttering all over the place.
If you look at the (magnficent) screen, you'll see that the bottom part (with the nav buttons) is actually not used by apps, which is only natural. However, that means that the screen is only marginally larger than that of my Note 4.
The device has a solid, very pleasant feel. It's also a fingerprint magnet. Especially the black version. On the golden version it was much less visible. A case could take care of that, but then I hate cases.
I didn't get a chance to check out sound and camera quality, but from what I read the camera should the best on any smartphone. As for the loudspeaker, I don't have big expectations. After all, how good can a very small loudspeaker be?
I believe I'll wait for the reviews to decide, although, knowing me, I'll wait for about 5 minutes.
I am very interested to hear similar experiences, so if you got a chance to play with the Note 8, please drop a line.
Now, if I could only explain to the wife why I need a 1,000 EUR smartphone :laugh:
I played with one at best buy this morning. Size wise it didn't feel radically bigger than my note 5.
Seemed very snappy and fast, only thing I didn't like was the lack of physical home button and capacitive buttons, but I'm sure I can get used to that. Just used to tapping the back button.
All in all seems like a hell of a device, glad I ordered one and can't wait to get it!

Do you think if you did not have to return your Note 7 that you would have bought the s8+ ? i can't help but think the s8 did so well because there was a lack of Note presence, Personally i caved in a few months before the s8 was released and bought an S7 Edge. But i definitely would of purchased a Note 7 instead if it was possible...
I tried this at CPW - it wasn't connected to wifi but was in demo mode. It was a dog and stuttered really badly. I appreciate this may be an early FW release but really in demo mode you'd expect high performance to stop this .
My Note FE is smooth as silk and I've yet to find a reason to order the 8.

Exactly - that was my experience too. I hope all will be sorted out at release time.

Same thing happen with the note 7 peview. The store demos lag a bit abd show a ton of scratches.
But when i got mines in hand it was great.
Then the s8+ didnt use the whole screen out the box. But after adjusting some settings it can hide the bav and use the whole screen.
So i know the sane will be true here.
I got the phone perorder because i love the note line. And miss the note 7. I dont think the phone will be worlds apart from the s8+ (which i currently have), but i think its still a nice upgrade and i get my spen back.
Speaking of that i wonder if the note 7 spen will work. I got about 4 of them lol..
I did have a solid hour or so with the device at Samsung 837 building while I was in NY. I had the chance to get attend the unpacked event. I talked to a few rep's that were there. They said those devices on display are pre-production units and will not get updates. They will be pulled when when productions units ship. So any lag you felt is do to pre-production software. The hardware will be the same. The camera is great. I got to test the live focus and other things. Lot's of ppl saying say this device is a S8+ with an S-pen, which it's not. There is some good reviews out there already to help you decide. I knew I was going to get it even before I saw it. I miss the note series and only reason I am on the S8+ now is because I HAD to turn my Note 7 in.

I discovered the secret to that. My hubs and I keep separate finances. We pool on things like groceries and furniture and bills. That way he can ***** and moan all he wants but in the end it's my 1000$.

Since you are based in Europe, can we assume you have the Exynos version and not the snapdragon??? could that be the reason the members that they tried it here in the US (snapdragon) where much fluid.

The marriage is already over if you have to hide the strip club bills... I tell my wife "hey the fellas and I about to go look at some titties.." her response is "you can look all you want, but when you ready for some real action, you better come home".

That may be the case (although you can buy the Snapdragon version here as well). However, there was a benchmark quoted on this forum whose result was that the two processors have similar performance.
