I meant on the left page where Briefing is there.
I understand, you can turn off briefing and long press on the home button to access Google Now or add the Google Now widget to the left screen where Briefing was previously.
Not exactly the same but darn close.

Battery life could be better and I feel my Note 5 charged faster.

Also, I have Tinnitus and I constantly have white noise playing in the background, mostly at work. The speakers on the Note 7 are a lot weaker than the Note 5.

Agreed on all your a points.

I have the silver note 7 t-mobile and these are the things I hate about it so far=
The app and back keys light up a warm white or some say a hint of yellow which to me is annoying,
Note 5 speaker is slightly louder in my opinion since I have both phones.
Need for speed no limits looks slightly better on my note 5 then note 7 it has more contrast which make the cars looks more realistic.
I don't notice it being faster then my note 5 there pretty equal.

I cant get any screen protector to stick to the edges so im thinking to go naked but im worried :/

I don't have a Note 7 but I do still have a Note Edge. When using the pen to draw or do a screen cap, I always had to be careful not to get to close to the edge panel or the pen would fall off the screen. Anyone noticing the same problem with the dual edges on the Note 7?

No. They're not decent. Not any of the ones I saw anyway.

I think you guys are being a little dishonest here. In actuality, it's samsung's stock icon pack that just things a few apps, a while leaving the rest as I standard google material design set. This means that if you download 1 of the many material type of icons from the theme Store, it matches up quite nicely with the rest of the icons.

I'd say my biggest disappointment is the lag and stuttering. It's just a shame and pretty bothersome to me. The design and screen are amazing, but the UX doesn't match the hardware to me.

Also sort of meh on the edge panels so I've disabled them.

I still do not have the lag some report. Must be a combo of apps and settings facilitating this, else all would have the issue.

Most of the ones I've seen aren't my cup of tea. Sure there are material ones. But there's also a bunch of tacky ones. The worst part is with any other than the material will look bad with 3rd party apps because they don't make them for all apps, just the preinstalled ones. That being said, I don't mind Samsung's TouchWiz icons. I like the borders because they make all icons the same shape and size. I've always disliked Android's freeform app icons. They don't make alot of sense to me to have different shapes.

My only dislike, which is not major, is that the S-Pen is too thin and small... The Note 5 S-Pen felt more comfortable to hold and the button more closer to my thumb to press

I feel like it's too light. It needs a little heft to it because I feel like I'm gonna bend or snap it in half. Not really a true complaint. Just an observation.

You recommend the Note Edge? I ordered it as White Noise back up for work and sleep since I read it had one of the loudest speakers, at 87db. Is that true? I should get it tomorrow.

Noise terror - here are the 10 smartphones with the loudest loudspeakers from 2014!

I really never noticed if the speaker was louder than newer phones. I think the Note Edge is still an excellent phone for use today. I haven't been using it for my daily now for about a month. I'm using a Note 5 and an S7 edge and some iPhones (I have five lines on T-Mobile).

So I cleared the system cache last night on my Note 7, and all the animation stuttering is gone!!!! Apps also seem to be opening a little faster, and everything is a little smoother overall. Anybody having issues should try it. It won't hurt anything.
