More power to you -- I couldn't hang on to such an old phone. Not for one difference of a removable battery. Not worth it for me.
Played with the Note 7 for 2 hours today...

is the battery 4000mah or 3500mah? tbh all those high end specs useless on S series, as samsung throttles the GPU and CPU on heavy games on purpose, if u root and install imagebreaker kernel, it bypassing all the DVFS restrication and limiting, then all your games are 60 fps as oppose to barely 15 fps with sluggish performance.
Note 7 seems to be disappointment , they playing way too safe.

Unless you install a custom ROM or use a Nexus, 18 months is a bit on the "aging" side when it comes to software support.
You won't experience any ill-effects right now because it's on Marshmallow, but I personally wouldn't advise holding onto a phone that might be dropped on the software support reel.
If you want to and can do it, more power to you.

I always laugh when I hear the term pengate. Still hard to believe some ppl aren't smarter than that.

It's old for lot of us here... It's all relative. 5 years is also not too old for some one and same way 3 months may be old for someone else. Varies from person to person.
Well it's fully rooted unlocked so I can do and install however I feel pleased with it
it may be older but my batteries will still outlast the Note 7
Yep, agreed. I also don't see the need to run mm or nougat as the measure of outdated. I have 3 tablets, and I don't even know off the top of my head what version they are running. Pretty sure all 3 are 4.4 kk.
Also Samsung considers the Note 7 to be part of the 7 series. Not an upgrade to the 7 edge. If you got one and see it that way, great, but that isn't how Samsung looks at it. As long as you are looking at it different from the people doing the designing then you will always be disapointed.
The manufacturers look at 12-18 month upgrade cycles at best, and the reasonable way to look at it is to compare to models that fall into that catagory..at least. Vs s6, it's a powerful upgrade vs Note 5... ehhh, that's what I have now, and I will upgrade, I think it will be worth it, though it won't be a a huge jump. (besides my kid wants my note 5, my old note 2 is getting too slow for her)

JohnBody ... tell us how were you able to get access to this phone? I want to believe everything you told us!
I am also interested in the pre-order information. Will all carriers get that deal for either the watch or the SD card? My Gear S is broken. I need to use elastic bands to charge it and I would love to be able to get the Gear S 2.

Hmm... This can't be in reference to the camera as many have it. An HDR screen? Impressive if true, but hmm ...
IP67? Hmm.. Me thinks IP68

I never understand these posts. My Note 5 has 4 GB of RAM and it flies. I don't need any more RAM than that. What is it that you can't do on 4GB of RAM exactly?

The only question I have is, Where are all the PICTURES?
If I had the chance to play with the highly anticipated Note 7, that nobody in the world has seen, a few days early, I surely would have pulled out my phone a snapped a few pictures.
Also no mention of where this happened?
What Gives?

It's likely that the phone could have HDR for recording video.
I remember seeing someone in the thread who has the Grace UX beta for the Note5, and he got a menu that allowed him to toggle HDR video recording and adjusting the effect.

The original post said gear fit 2 not gear S2. Unsure if that would make a difference to you or not...JohnBody ... tell us how were you able to get access to this phone? I want to believe everything you told us!

Darn it, yes, I misread the post. That does made a difference as far as excitement over a pre-order deal. Thanks for pointing that out to me.
