Ok, so as a owner of a Note 5 already, I was thinking about getting the new note 7, however, there are several things that note 5 users may need to consider when purchasing one.
Now this is based off of reported specs as of today.
Note 7
CPU
Snap Dragon or Exynos
On this, I heard that Samsung had problems with their Snapdragon processors overheating which is why they didn't use them for the Note 5, even if you do get one with the Exynos chip, it will only be 200 Mhz faster than the S7, which isn't that much of a difference.
Ram
Supposedly will be 4 gb, same as the Note 5
Sound
Due to the waterproofing on the s7 and the sound not being that great on that phone, if they do make it IP68 certification, the sound will most likely suffer a little bit which will make it less louder than the Note 5.
Screen
Super Amoled which again is like the Note 5 and it is also curved which may a deal breaker for some. Supposedly it will also be 5.7 inches.
Camera
The camera on the Note 5 is 16mp/5mp. I know that they reduced the megapixels on the s7 and it is supposed to be better, but the camera will have 12-13/5 mp. There is no word yet on whether it will have optic stabilization.
Os
May release with Marshmallow, but will probably upgrade to Android Nouget, Touchwiz will be minimized which is cool.
Now some people want the newest and greatest and thats cool, but the only real cool thing that I see is the ability to use an SD card again. So if the screen and ram stay the same, and the camera is less pixels and the sound is not as loud, is this really worth the rumored price of $850-$900+ dollars?
