What is the best selling point that you feel very convincing for you to buy?
Let us discuss here... Poll your best reasons.
Even as a long time Note User (Note3-Note5) I liked the s7 Edge's design enough to lose my s pen to switch over to it. Now that the Note7 is here, I'm ready to jump back into the S Pen....
To answer your question the "glance" feature (yes I know its just software and available on note5 with custom rom) but that is just so incredible. I can't wait to use that for multitasking.
Also, the iris scanner combined with password entry and hiding apps just because you aren't the one looking at the phone is pretty tight!
Thats an easy one.
Ext sd card support.
Thats the main reason im ditching my note 5 and going note 7.

The "glance" feature isn't always on display, its an s pen feature which let's you switch back and forth between different apps very easily just by hovering with the s pen.

I'd rather it be waterproof. I can't imagine that is possible with a removable battery?
Seriously, the IR blaster community is strong. Never cared for it when I had it. Don't understand the love.

I would agree that if you have an S7 edge and dont need the Spen not much point in buying one.
But for those who dont have an S7 edge and are in the market for a new device (like myself) the fact that the note is a copy is quite irrelevant.
Perhaps you didnt consider that?

Perhaps you didn't consider the $400 price difference. If that spen is worth $400 extra then I hope you really use it 24/7. I personally use it the first weeks only then I rarely use it. It is good to have there but for me bigger battery was a must.

$400 doesnt mean much to me honestly,not trying to sound like an ass but its just not a big deal on my end.
Im not a fan of the edge screen at all and if they had not toned it down on the note 7 i would not be buying one so thats the main reason Id go note over S7 edge.
I dont use the Spen alot either lol...bigger battery would have been nice for sure but as it is its 500 mah more than my note 5 so for me its a bonus.

I am trying to look at the bigger picture here and consider any customer in the market but if I like the device $400 is not a problem for me either. These manufacturers have broken our balls with such small upgrades and even after so many years we still don't have a perfect device. They hold back on hardware upgrades on purpose just so that users can have another reason next year to buy the new flagship. It is annoying. I still am convinced that the S7 Edge is Samsung's best phone this year. Performance wise and battery wise.

Yes it is, but I usually buy device after it becomes kind of old, after 6 month, so price reduces around 30%..
I used note 2 for almost 3 years, and i never felt to buy another phone, because it was fast with custom rom, I was able to play any game, I upgraded to note 5 just for the sake of camera.
So maybe I will buy note 7 after few months.

If you need a waterproofed Note, you're using it wrong. Going from a Note 4 to the 7. The 5 wasn't for me. The addition of the SD did it for me and believe it or not the gif creator.

Hey XDA I have a note and my mother is willing to trade me for her S3. Would you consider it an upgrade? I would miss the spen but I really think the big phone is not for me. It a hassle to Carry around especially with the extended battery. Could someone give me some advice on if its worth it. Thanks in advance.

I have both and the s3 is better, I won't lie.
Much smoother, the cpu/gpu is a big upgrade.
I would do it. I go back and forth between the two, but imo the s3 is the superior of the two.
Now the note 2 on the other hand....

If we're to believe Samsung Display, the display arm of Samsung, which is actually a desperate company, there might not be a Note 3 as we know it. They're replacing both the Note 2 display, as well as the S3 display with a 1920x1080 4.99 inch panel this year. This according to Anandtech. I suppose we could see a curved OLED touting Note, but then again, flexible OLED yield isn't supposed to be good enough for production runs til 2014.
Unless they're keeping the display a secret, this is what most would expect. This doesn't mean that they'll have some other type of offering or combination to allow SPen functionality on say....the S4, but I wouldn't personally design a new chassis around an S4 and call it a Note.
I'd definitely choose the S3 at this point. The Development support will last significantly longer than it will for this device. Isn't it the most popular Android device ever? That is to say, more users often means more ROMs, the pressure to update and develop for it will be higher.
Since were not talking about an upgrade, its a no brainer.
But if you had to use an upgrade, or pay more than say....50-100 bucks (personal figure) I definitely wouldn't do it. A new generation of SoCs is just around the corner. Just as well, the GPU is much more powerful on the S3, but app support and UI/general performance isn't too much better now that we have 4.2 AOSP. And while an official JB is probably a couple months out, but it will bring most Note2 features home for us.
That's the current sitrep for both devices.

Personally I love my note and it's plenty fast with the stable roms out there. My gf has a S3 and it's a nice device and I can really see the appeal but it really depends on WHAT you plan on doing with it. I remote into computers and my home network. Work on servers all from my phone so moving to a smaller screen isn't what I'd do. It has the horsepower to show up plenty of phones and though it's a gen old with older hardware, I kept my 86 toyota camry longer than I've had this phone and THAT was a piece of crap.
But again it's all about needs and wants. If you feel that you need the faster phone and are willing to loose the screen size, I say go for it.

Agreed, with new phone announcements coming up soon it doesn't make sense to upgrade for any form of currency, but in a straight trade, it might be worth it.

actually the note 2 non international is fast enough, after you apply the Lag-remover app, posted this month. The Note flies after!

The G2 thread is quite popular with some good discussion going on, so I thought I'd start a discussion about my next device; the Note 3. It's going to be introduced at an unboxing event on Sept 4th in Berlin, Germany; just ahead of the IFA 2013 the conference the previous two Notes have been introduced from. The specifications are hefty:
5.68″ Full HD Super AMOLED display (1920 x 1080)
Octa-core processor clocked at 1.8GHz (depending on the market)
3GB of RAM
13MP back-facing camera with OIS technology
ARM Mali-T628 MP6 GPU
4G LTE
16GB/32GB/64GB storage options
microSD slot supportable of additional 64GB
Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
3,200mAh battery
I'll be using Verizon's Device Payment Program to both upgrade my device early and retain my unlimited data.
Who's in? Who's not? Why or why not?
Note 3 ?
Nope. The next device is always cooler. Once you come to grips with that, you won't pine for the newest thing.

As the OP says...why???
No. Sorry, but a screen/device that large is simply too big. Also, Samsung can pack as much horsepower they want under the hood in terms of specs, but they really should focus on the software optimization to get a truly great phone. That's where performance is lacking.
With that said, no, the S4 will stay for now. Outside of a bigger device and screen, I probably wouldn't notice much difference.

As the guy above me basically states, the phone is crap if the software isn't optimized. In a perfect world I wouldn't resort to modding my device. However, with all the stuff Samsung loads in I need to because I feel a degradation in performance compared to previous devices. Samsung just makes the software and hopes that the high end specs will make for a smooth experience. This just won't cut it anymore. People can complain about the iPhone all they want but with the "meh" specs its packing Apple makes up for it with their excellent software optimizations. Not sure what my next device would be though.

Pretty much this. Note 3 if you want the S-Pen or the Ultra if you want the "waterproofness" (funny looking word, but it is indeed a word ) and build quality.
Build quality is better on xzu battery isn't bad. But no flash. And not sure if note 3 has ir blaster but xzu doesn't which is annoying.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
I just sold my Note 3 to get the Ultra last week. For indoor use, the Note 3 camera kinda sucks. Battery life is so-so, only lasts about a day. Build quality on Note 3 feels cheap compared to Ultra. I was never in love with Note 3, it's really just the same old plastic Samsung phone with Touchwiz.
If you have 2 hours, you can see the videos from Erica Griffin. She goes into everyday usage of both phones. In the end she moved from the Ultra to the Note 3. Here are the links:

Well considering her size...even the Note 3 could feel way big huge for her.

It's her preferences ofc, plus if you look at her impression about xzu, it is clear that she likes xzu as her daily driver before going with note 3. And plus who doesn't love a new more expensive gadget hey? yeah the note 3 experience is a bit more complete (sans the real estate of the screen that xzu offered which she like the most about xzu) but that doesn't mean that xzu is a loser compared to note 3, no, far from it. It's just that they were built for different speciality.

I would change my Ultra for the next ultra and nothing else. Every time I see a Note 3 or someone holding it I can't seem to figure out if it's really a Note 3 or a Note 2 or a GS4. It just seems the same phone with some new tweaks is all.
Don't misunderstand me, I had a GS3 and loved it, and last year you could spot a GS3 right away, people here had an iPhone, or a GS3.
With the Ultra you stand out from the crowd, and not only for the sheer size, but also for everything else.
Somebody might mock you for the lack of flash or for the impossibility of changing batteries, but deep down you see most people love it and envy your big toy.
But, more importantly, it's a fantastic beast, it doesn't do anything slowly, it simply works and the stock ROM is the most beautiful I've ever tried.
My 2 cents.

One tip though. Call them when they're working on it. My service center has anew online log of what they've done, and I also knew which day they were going to work on it, but I didn't call them to say that they had to swap the display, so I'm blaming myself a little. Don't trust them to actually do what they are supposed to do.

im a very sporty person, what made me get the note is when during the summer i will be jogging alot and riding my bike.. i figured this wouldn't be possible so i got the note 3. However if someone here can convince me that can happen without a problem i may be switching over because i love large screens =)
I've had both and I prefer the xperia ultra. I watch a lot of media on my phone so I went with the bigger screen. Not a fan if touchwiz either having the gpe ROM for the ultra was another reason. The only thing is don't expect to take it to the gym or anything.

Well, I skate a lot as I play hockey and I got a tiny LG Thrill 3D phone (just wanted a $ 50 cheapo) for the Ice Rink because the Ultra is too big but to be honest, even the Note 2 was hard to deal with when skating because I was compromising my crossovers etc since I had the phone in my front pocket.
But is I was jogging or on a bike, I would think it is easier to manage as you got more places where to keep it without thinking that if you slip like on the ice you can destroy it.
Not sure man but I would go back to Xperia in my very biased opinion
a buddy wants to trade his note 3 for my g3, is it worth the trade?

Not to me its not. 2k display. HD audio. Form factor is just beautiful. I don't think I can go back to buttons on side of the phone lol. My last phone was a note 2 it was good but my data always sucked and grew tired of seeing Samsung's colorful cartoon looking icons. Oh yeah Knox.
My next phone is probably gonna be the HTC m9 after or m10 after playing with my wife's m8. That's depending what lg G4 or 5 does. If the rumors are correct about them adding a stylus to directly compete with the note, count me out. There's always nexus.

I can't see taking a step back being worth it. If you're considering it I'm assuming you're not happy with the g3. If that's the case I don't think you would be any happier with the note 3. I'm a Samsung fan myself and still couldn't see stepping down to note 3. Now the note 4 I would be willing to trade for though. Anyways good luck in your decision.

After much thinking. I've decided not to proceed with the trade. I am happy with the g3. For a split second there some features of the note series caught my eye. I decided that I like the features of lg a bit better than touchwiz. Thanks for both of your opinions.

Coming from a note 2 and now being on the G3 for 3 weeks, I don't miss the features of the note 2. I never used it as intended, I never used the stylus, no need for it and I review documents for a living. People that do use it idk how or why, other than to look cool and show off. I could never comfortably write on it. A 10"+ tab, sure that I could use but the note phone screen never worked well for me that way.
I like the G3, it was a nice change and upgrade from the note 2.
The idea of the stylus is very enticing right now. But not enticing enough for me to make the swap. Realistically, I don't know what I would use it for.

I tried to incorporate it but just never found a real necessary use for the stylus.
I got the note 2 for the bigger screen. At the time it was the only mainstream device over 5" I think. It replaced my tablet and a lot of my laptop uses too. But now I have a device with the same screen size and it's lighter and easier to hold and use. Plus I really don't mind the stock LG skin.
Hello, please spend 6 seconds of your time to rate your experience with the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. I will be comparing results to other phones and the other variants of the device. If you possibly want to see how they all did you can message me on twitter at @masaforce. Honest reviews only. Thank you.
PS: I am still waiting for mine.
Mines been great. Not one single problem with it.
Hope that's the case for many other people too.
9/10. The best Android phone I've ever owned.

No complaint what so ever.
Fantastic phone. Period.

Can say 9.9/10. I like Note 7 design and new UX. No lag, no hang at all.

Wow, the reviews on the AT&T note 7 are so much worse
I'd say 9/10. I do get some occasional stutter (SD820, blah).

No issues and the best one I've had.
9.9/10 for me. This phone has been great. I can only hope that when I get the replacement that it's as good as my current phone.
9/10
Would love the "phone maintenance" to be an app (similar to HTC boost) and not built into the settings.
That's my only complaint. Love this phone coming from an HTC M9.

If you're talking about the cheezy Cheetah Mobile interface that rates your phone's performance and health, you can. Install App Disabler or EZ Disabler and look for/and disable "Device maintenance".
Thank me later...

OMG
You sir are Awesome!
As a power user 9.8/10
Love that I did not need root to do That, and "stock" settings are still there for battery but Samsung should still learn from HTC. Separate app, not preinstalled bloatware.
Edit: maybe it is placebo, but after disabling the cheetah mobile interface the entire phone UI is much more fluid.

Thank you but honestly I found that tip in a discussion on Reddit, so I can only take credit for passing it on.

Excellent phone so far and I'm on at&t
Yes!
I'm also saying the same thing. I'll be PISSED off if I decide to turn my phone in, and the second phone is ****ED UP! I'm hoping I don't have to turn in mine. But if anyone is having issues, PLEASE do the right thing.

OK that's fine
Other than the battery complaint of not being able to have extra batteries. I had to buy a external battery pack, the battery last maybe 4 to 5 hours with heavy usage. It's a Ravpower model RP-PB052 (22000mAh).
So far no big issues other than the battery not being replaceable!
takes great photos!
Runs faster than my note5.
Funny, when we could get root and find unlimited themes etc.
Now Verizon sells everything is alacart now, bummer!
Hoping my experience will be good. Was going to switch to the Apple 7 plus, except I didn't have the 500+ you up front. Where the galaxy I had a month to come up with 299! Seeing samsung went to the non-replaceable battery, figured I should switch over to Apple, maybe next renewal I will, save up the money to do so.
Seeing Samsung went to the same as Apple!
I do love the note7 except the battery snafu!
Hope everyone likes their note 7
Cheers,
