I hope nobody gets mad at me posting this.
I just thought I'd start a positive thread to say that I LOVE my new Note 7 (in blue, of course). Is it perfect? Nope. But I love it. Yeah I've encountered some lag here and there, but big deal. It happens. Overall, it's awesome. The camera is great. The display is fantastic. The blue that changes color is so cool.
Could the software be a little better? Sure. In time, it will be. These things only have a one-year lifecycle before the next refresh, so even if it takes that long, it'll still happen. I lived with my Note 3 for three years and put up with the lag (which turned out to be partly my own fault since I never cleared the cache partition until a month before the Note 7 was released), and it was still a great phone. It was the first phone that I didn't end up hating after three months like EVERY other phone I'd owned.
Are there some disappointments with the 7? Yeah, the most notable one (no pun intended) being screen durability. I have a screen protector on order and will be careful with it. It's a worthwhile tradeoff for the features. I also don't care for the push-to-release S-Pin. I like how it was on my Note 3 -- just pull it out. But whatever, it's not a big deal.
I do feel for people who got a defective phone, especially since replacements may be hard to come by. And if I had gotten one, I'd probably be pretty upset too.
