    Delivery dates

    Canada here. Ordered my 512GB green on Feb. 3. Shipped yesterday, overnight and arrived this morning. I can’t believe how fast Samsung Canada was. I wasn’t expecting it until next week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    batter on samsung s8 plus drains

    I am a recent iPhone 7 plus convert and sure it drains a bit faster. But compared to the note 5 it's amazing. Plus fast charging gets it right back up there.

    What will Samsung Need to do to regain customer confidence in the N7?

    It's the perception more than anything else. The media doesn't help when they post a stock picture of an S7 and then go on to say the Note 7 is the phone actually exploding. A lot of people are visual and they go, hey that's my phone. It's irresponsible of the media and they should be held to...

    What will Samsung Need to do to regain customer confidence in the N7?

    I could see pricing come down, I think it's hurt their brand overall. I was talking to a friend who just went from iPhone to the GS7. She was in a panic thinking her phone was going to explode. I had to explain that it's not all Samsung phones, just the N7. The vast majority of consumers aren't...

    The Galaxy Note7 has been recalled for battery issues

    I give Samsung huge props for doing this. Yes my iPhone is my daily driver, but owning a note 5 (with a note 7 on the way) I can say I have all of the confidence in the world in this company. They are being incredibly cautious but it shows they are brave enough to admit there is a problem and...

    Another response to negative reviews..

    It seems that people have become so polarized in the last 15 years, especially in politics and technology. I love both Android and iOS, I own a 6s+ and a note 5. Despite what some negative people on forums say, I sold my note 5 and ordered a note 7. I also plan on selling my 6s+ and buying...

    samsung pay

    Exactly the way it works in Canada. Servers bring the machine to you and many are NFC/Tap enabled. Stores and fast food restaurants have the terminal mounted and facing the customer so they can use whatever method of payment without the store employee touching the card. All machines here have...

    samsung pay

    It is not available in Canada as of yet. Samsung has stated it will be here sometime this year. I'm assuming that since the banks were so busy negotiating and setting up Apple Pay earlier this year, we won't see it until fall.

    Apple's 'Note' is right around the corner

    Competition is king! They both borrow off of each other. Which is fine, it's how products get refined. No competition equals communism and we all know how that works. No innovation and subpar consumer products

    Really samsung? scratches already on my galaxy note 7

    I'm an iPhone and note 5 user. My.note 5 scratched with GG4. I wanted the note 7 but I shudder to think about how much this phone is prone to scratches. Thinking about the S7E now

    I heard rumors saying the removable back will come back in the Note 6. Is that true?

    Re: I heard rumors saying the removable back will come back in the note 6. Is that true? Any one hear when an announcement might be made? The note 5 is my first Samsung and so far really liking it. I will most likely upgrade to the next note, whatever it may be called

    Finally grabbed my Note 5!

    Re: Finally grabbed my note 5! I keep my screen brightness low, disabled a lot of carrier bloat ware and the Facebook app. I felt like this was enough to give me pretty decent battery.

    Finally grabbed my Note 5!

    Re: Finally grabbed my note 5! I've found my battery life has gotten a bit better from when I first bought it. I have turned off Bluetooth and NFC and made a few minor adjustments. I constantly get 5.5 hrs of on screen time now, compared to 4 or so my first week.

    Note 5 still a good buy?

    I've had mine for two weeks now and here are some things I've noticed: Likes: - s pen is cool, love screen write and taking notes. I'm surprised other phone manufacturers haven't jumped on something like this - screen is beautiful and crisp, I also like that the bezels are small and don't get...
