I just bought mine today - black model.
I think the build is fantastic. Feels so great in the hand and feels like a really small phone for a 5.7" screen. Love edge curve and how it looks like there are no side bezels. It's a really well designed phone.
The screen is excellent. I'd say it's the best screen I've seen on a mobile phone. Compared directly to my HTC 10, it looks better than the 10's screen. I think from now, everything should just be AMOLED.
Spen is pretty cool. I'm still figuring out all the functionalities, but I like what it can do. Seems quite handy.
The camera is really good too. I've taken a bunch of shots with it already and I'm incredibly happy with the results. The camera launches fast, focuses almost weirdly quickly and takes great photos. No complains.
Overall, it's a really great phone.
As someone that upgraded from a Galaxy S5 this is what I'm loving so far.
The screen, its big and beautiful! meh
HDR Video playback support not useful
One of the best cameras in smartphone out there meh, you pay that much money you better get the best but it not better than the S7E
Water resistance (to scared to test it but glad to have it ) Water resistance mean no good sounding loud speaker
S-Pen. I find my self using it quite a bit already. This is the only useful thing about it.
The newest version of TouchWiz, I actually like how it looks out of the box, but the theme support is awesome as well. Touch wiz is the worst looking launcher of any phone. Samsung should be ashame.
A fingerprint scanner that is so fast I pretty much don't notice it. Not the fastest. That goes to either the Nexus or Iphone.
The iris scanner really surprised me with how good and quick it is as well. I'm using it for the secure folder feature which is another feature I like as well. No comment. But rather have better specs than a gimmick.
The speed and snappiness of the device Mood points.
Build quality A7 has better build quality.
That's off the top of my mind. I haven't had it for even 24 hours yet
Share a gif!I like many many things, but I will just list the surprising things for me so far:
- I love the Blue Light filter. It was a revelation last night, I must say.
- I am trying the Edge Panels today, and you can really put a surprising amount of cool stuff there. Shortcuts to camera modes (selfies, etc), shortcuts to directions home, other useful stuff. I didn't think it would be at all useful, but so far it is.
- I've actually had fun already with the GIF making tool on the S-Pen
- The AoD is great, I love it. If it doesn't drain battery life much, I will keep it on.
Oh and I almost forgot, USB C charging is awesome!!!
Almost Nothing... and thats in large part due to Android v6.0.1, have not yet activated it am seriously considering sending it back.. one of the most galling reasons for me may sound trivial.. but to me it bothers me everytime i look at it.. and thats the Apps Screen, the WallPaper is Blurred, Not Bokeh, Blurred absolutely ridiculous.. and what happen to the Display Brightness Slider on the Status Bar Pull Down?? the curved edge to me is also useless particularly when using the pen to capture text.. the icons make this hi tech device look cartoon-y.. again I can't find Anything I like about the Note7 over the Note2 or Note3.. seems faster.. but all the other out weight any extra performance for me by far, simply can't stand using it...
