Just as final addendum, wanted to mention my s7 battery is poor too, but when I put it in ultra power savings mode (rooted to allow any 6 apps including camera), battery goes a whole week from single charge. That's what saved my S7

using Note 2 and S7 side by side as daily driver. I still prefer Note 2 over S7 except for two things - S7 has better camera and ultra power savings mode. That's it. Everything else, Note 2 is better.

I used galaxy Note 2, Note 4 and S7. I like Note 2 the best among all of them. Sure Note 4 and S7 camera is better, but for overall utility, extended battery and ease of repair (such as disassembly and replacing broken glass), Note 2 can't be beat and it's still my daily driver. I would take...

Most of posts here were in favor of upgrading from Note 2 to Note 4, so I like to mention some cons. I am considering upgrade of my company phone from Note 2 to Note 4 (for free), but there are some reservations I have:. 1) s-pen writing on Note 4 is lousy compared to s-pen writing on Note 2...

Sure low end will dominate. Think of PC model. As PC technology matured, only few people need high end PC. Everyone can do everything they want on low end PC. Same is true with smart phone. Today's low end is defined by quad core or even octa core cpu, up to 2GB of ram and even an HD...
