What phone coming out might make you pass on the note 7?

[Preach2k]

I think the Note 7 also has micro sd. Agreed if not.

Yes it does have MicroSd.

I've been seeing rumors of the LG V20. Specs look pretty good. Replaceable battery, sd slot. 5.7-8" screen
3500 battery. 64gb, 4gb ram.
If disappointed in note 7, may take a hard look at it.

Is anyone considering the LG v20, especially if the note is really high priced? I'm hearing a lot of good things about it and many loved the V10. if it's coming out in Sept I wonder if it would be wise to wait a few weeks instead of buying the Note?

Nope. I don't trust LG after my G4 that I gave to a buddy died on him (the motherboard failure problem they had) and LG doesn't want to repair it.

The s6 edge is ridiculous to hold. I feel like I'm going to drop it. Even with a case. Glass back was dumb on the iPhone why are they using it on galaxy series?

The S6 yes -- They did awful on that device with the edges. They feel like knives. The S7 / S7 Edge that has been fixed dramatically.

As long as it continues to have rear buttons, nope.

i have the S7E, but after seeing what Axon 7 offers for 400$, i start to wonder the high price of the S7E, and all of the sudden the Note 7 seems to be very unattractive, price wise at least.

Might wanna wait for a phone in s7e caliber or better with larger screen and consumer friendly price.

I'd love to buy a brand new Note 4

 

[besweeet]

For those prices, I'd rather get slightly used models from sites like Swappa.

Found this: New Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM N910V 32GB Black Smartphone 4G LTE 887276036786 | eBay

Although I'm leaning toward this from Best Buy (Certified Pre-owned with a 1 year warranty): Samsung Certified Pre-Owned Galaxy Note 4 4G LTE with 32GB Memory Cell Phone (Verizon) Black SM-N910VZKEVZW - Best Buy

Thanks. Great tips! I just don't believe the one on eBay is legit brand new with full warranty etc.

Am I really seeing people say that they will buy a Note 4 before the Note 7?

That's crazy talk.

Flat screen. Two radios. Ir blaster. Removable battery.

Flat screen. Two radios. Ir blaster. Removable battery.

Having not held the Note 7 I can't say how it feels in the hand, but how can you blanket say that a flat screen will always be better? Two radios why?

Yup, I want another one as a backup to my original. From my post earlier in this thread:

Yeah, but so many things about the Note 4 are worse than the Note 7 (even based on just the rumors).



Why even stick with Samsung then? Isn't something like the V10 and presumably the upcoming V20 more of what you want?

 

[Aquila]

The Note 4 is not a phone that is "coming out". So seems somewhat irrelevant

 

[Kevin OQuinn]

I'll quote my original post again:

Not sure how you can deal with the Note 4 then, it does not meet your standards.

 

[Aquila]

Yeah, but so many things about the Note 4 are worse than the Note 7 (even based on just the rumors).

It's not "so many things". It is "literally everything".

The Note 7 is better in the following categories: Processor, RAM, FPS, Security, Design, Software, Software Support, Screen, Battery Size, Battery Life (inferred because Note 5 was already better and Note 7 is more hardware efficient + 16% larger battery), Storage Quantity, Storage Speed, Camera, Charging Speed, Charging Technology

The Note 4 is better in the following categories:

The closest 2016 phone I could find to match up spec to spec with the Note 4 is the Moto G4 Plus 64/4. Which is $299 MSRP, easy to get for cheaper.

And in that comparison, the Moto G4 Plus 64/4 is better in the following categories: RAM, FPS, Security, Software, Software Support, Battery Life, Storage Quantity, Camera, Charging Speed, Charging Technology

The Note 4 is better than the Moto G4 Plus 64/4 is better in the foloowing categories: Processor (maybe), Screen (probably, definitely wins on resolution, not sure about actual quality), Battery Size

 

[Aquila]

LOL, the Note 4 IS my standard. Only thing I want that would improve on it is a slightly larger screen.

You wouldn't want a better processor, better display, better camera, better battery life, more RAM, a better pen, a better fingerprint scanner, more security or better heat management?

 

[Kevin OQuinn]

You wouldn't want a better processor, better display, better camera, better battery life, more RAM, a better pen, a better fingerprint scanner, more security or better heat management?

And better software.

 

[Aquila]

And better software.

And more storage and better storage.. the Note 4 has a HUGE list of areas of opportunity, because it leads the industry in exactly zero categories. It was beaten in almost every category within 5 months of it's release and since then almost every device that is released is better at literally everything.
