re: Bothered that the Note 7 is the S7 Edge with larger screen, S Pen, & smaller battery?
To be honest, not really.
I loved the S7 edge. It's still my favorite phone of the year right now.
From what I see with the Note7, they took almost everything I liked about it and added the S Pen, some software stuff and other stuff like USB-C and 64GB of internal storage. Seems like it might even get an aluminum alloy upgrade as well. I'm still a little bummed over the slightly smaller battery (though it's 2.8% smaller, so not a really huge deal to me) and still not really feeling the iris scanner.
I understand why some might be bummed, especially for the price, but to me, I like it.
