Yes. He mentions it in the first post.

 

[thegame161]

so what about the battery size?

 

[DasWindows]

Yeah, you had it backwards. I use the VR with my S6 and S7e and while it's good, it can be pixelated at times. 4k would definitely be a step up, but for any other use case I think it would be pointless. If they could do like Sony and only enable 4k during VR and use 2k at all other times, I think it'd be a win. Guess we'll see next year

I realized i was confusing it with brightness...Feel pretty dumb lol.

I want the VR but like everyone else, would probably get bored of it fast. Maybe once they start making VR movies, people will use them more. Unlike 3D tech, i belive augmented reality and VR have a bright future.

If that's the case, then there is no point in releasing it separately. Note line always been superior.

Well, they could, but that would mean that one Note device would have to require a dramatically shortened life-cycle.

Not only will that seriously annoy users of the device with the much shorter life-cycle, but also introduces new issues for that one iteration of the product.

So same specs like the S7 edge, no removable battery, no 4k screen and basically the same camera ?

If Samsung believes people are going to pay a premium for just the S Pen only they are out of their mind. Gonna hang on to my Note 4 another year

They believed correctly because I'm getting one. So I guess that counts for something.

But based on some of the things that were said originally here I'm calling BS. I'll just wait until Tuesday.

Anyword on if it had USB C charging or just the old style charging port?

We're seeing hints of that if the rumor that the Note7 can run in 720p turns out to be true.

Yeah, that's pretty cool. Maybe this is their way of testing it out until they can go to 4k next year.

USB C.

Exactly!

Specs are fine to me, I'll be replacing my Nexus 6p with the new Note.

 

[Vikas Dhar]

Yeah, I know, but Samsungs camera is always better. More important is the quality of the image sensor and lens also Resolution. And while some camera phones now boast 5 or more megapixels, cell phone manufacturers tend to skimp on crucial components.

It would be a battery saving feature. So 4K screen would seriously cut battery life with pretty much no benefit.

So I have a 64GB Note 5 and two S7 Edge phones. I think I'll skip the Note this year. I bought the Note 5 in December and I've only really started using it a lot over the last two months. I still use a Note Edge and a Note 4 too, all five of these phones are activated on T-Mobile lines.

I'll still see what they announce in the morning.

I don't have a problem so much with the note 7 having the same specs as the s7 edge. I have a bigger issue with the rumored price of this phone being close to a $1000 for essentially nothing different from the s7 edge. The spen shouldn't add that much of a premium on 6 month old specs so I wonder if the added cost is purely for the curved amoled screen.
I also think having more ram would be nice since the spen software would run more smoothly with more ram. I also worry about battery life for this phone. The note 7 has a larger screen than the note 5 or s7 edge but allegedly has a smaller battery than the latter with the same soc as the s7 edge. A larger screen generally means it will take more juice to power and run. Not to mention there could be new spen features or other hardware/software features implemented by Samsung that could also tax the battery more than the s7 edge. It could end up potentially with battery life identical to the note 5 after all is said and done. All for a big premium over a 6 month old phone for basically identical specs.
Actually a smaller battery wouldn't be that big of a deal if it samsung was adding a more power efficient soc like the 821. I also wonder if Samsung has been allowing all of these leaks as misinformation so that they can surprise everyone with a second note 7 with different specs. If so this would be a brilliant marketing strategy. I guess we will all find out in a few hours.

I'm talking about practicing display scaling. So that way next year they could do 4k during VR use. That would be a benefit. You don't want to use 4k all the time though cause like you said, that would cut battery life.

If you are not a media junkie (I am), the Note 5 is still great. I like having my entire media collection on a micro sd card though (256GB might be free with preorders for Note 7). No cloud needed then, or wasting using my data downloading my own content when no wifi available.
