Hi. I have both phones. I've had the Note 3 and Note 4, and almost bought the original Note when it was released. The S7 Edge is, imho, faster and snappier, has a better camera, MUCH better battery life, and a better looking design. That said, sometimes the S7 edge feels like a little toy next to the Note, and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the S pen. I can't say that I've used it a whole lot, but when I needed to use it, it was a godsend. I'm sure I don't have to tell you about its benefits. Ultimately, I chose to stay with Edge as I wanted a smaller form factor and big battery. I'm sure the Note 6 will be a beast of a phone that will top the S7 edge in specs, but to each his own I suppose.
