Just played with a note 7 - oh myyy !!!

[climb]

Spent an hour at a Verizon store playing with a Coral Blue Note 7 - oh my........good gracious sakes alive

First things first - the FORM FACTOR is the best of any Samsung device and rivals HTC for "feel in the hand good". The SCREEN is simply amazing - the most highly rated display ever. The Samsung folks managed yet again to tweak the DIMENSIONS of the phone making it a smidge taller and a smidge thinner, and yet being a smidge thicker, it still feels smaller in the hand - much smaller. How a smartphone feels in the hand, and the display, can be and often are are deal killers and the Samsung folks hit the ball out of the park on these two counts.

The edge features, which I have always resisted - will make for faster functions in many different tasks. The unit I had had the Retina scanner operational - and it did not perform quickly as reported - may have been the demo unit.

For me (a minority who constantly uses the S - Pen) this is the defining improvement in the Note 7 - it writes like a dream - feels like a fine pen.

The battery improvement to 3500 mAh is more than adequate with the fast charge technology, not to mention the power saving mode allowing decreases in screen resolution.

Now - my only concern is - Coral Blue or Black??

I went with Black Oxyn.

Black.

I'm leaning towards the black which is unusual for me as I prefer gold or white phones, but would like to see in person before I decide, not sure is any retailers in the UK have them on display yet, does anybody know?

Im going w the black. My note5 was white and i got over it pretty quick, im ready for a black note lol.

I agree that the way the edge display is made it put me at ease about it. The phone just seems awesome.

Sidenote- i posted a topic after playing w one and it got moved into another thread lol..

Best Buy gives decent trade-in prices

The black is sexy cool. Play with one for half hours during my lunch break. Glad I got that instead of the blue.

 

[tclarson1]

[Kelly Kearns]

I was wondering if you were getting the N7..

No, they're as bad as everyone else. About $250-$300 less than the going rate.

Yes that's what i pre-order Note 7 Black Oxyn.

I'm getting one, not sure which color yet. Mine is coming from Samsung but I told them my preference was Blue, but I would take what they send.

The least picky person I have ever seen on the internet. You're a true role model. Go, teach the youth your ways

Oh I am not the least picky person believe me! I'm really picky, but the phone is free so I figure I'll take what they can get me.

 

[ConstantDefector]

Oh now you've just opened up a can of worms. Free phone

Do your friends get free phones also? Do you need new friends

 

[Venom0642]

I just love the way my S7 Edge Black Oxyn looks, So getting the Note 7 Black Oxyn and love that the sides frame are black too, Even tho i will have a case on it, Already have the Spigen case for Note 7 here, and Thursday my UAG Ash Case will be here with Armorsuit screen protector, Just waiting on next week when My Note 7 gets here, So am ready for it!

Hahaha no they don't. Samsung and I had a huge falling out and I've been a long time Samsung person. They wanted the chance to make things right.

The phone was one thing, the two other things I required were correcting issues in customer care, which Samsung Plus seems to be accomplishing that. The other was correcting issues in the repair center. That one remains to be seen, but I'm giving them a chance.

I was ready to leave Samsung and I've been a Samsung customer since at least 1999.

I'm going with black. The way the OLED bleeds into a black bezel
