Are you buying the Galaxy Note7?

[Jim Stanworth]

I need a week to get over disappointment of 4gb and 3500mAh. 820 processor. Worst of all predictions so I feel like a kid who got socks for Xmas. The one redeeming feature is 64 gb internal. The s7e only has 32 right? I may still buy it but....... Ugh

I agree! I habeas been looking forward to the note 6 or 7 (I don't care what it is called) and after the launch of the s7 I was getting excited about possible upgrades for the note. What a big disappointment! It is basically the s7 in a more expensive and bigger jacket. So unbelievably disappointing. Don't what internal battle happened within samsung but the note surely lost it.

Why did you quote this?

Me too, I might as well wait for the s8 plus (preferably w/o edge).

I'm still on note 3 and also passing - I am so unbelievably disappointed.

If samsung can have a separate launch event for the Note7 then Samsung might as well just start releasing the galaxy S series Edge variants on a separate launch event too.. That's even more of a differentiation (between the two S series) than this disappointment called the note line now..

While I agree that they're not likely to bring back any of those features, I'm curious what about IPS you like better than AMOLED displays? Samsung is the leader on AMOLED display production, so I don't expect them to use anything other than their own displays

Better color accuracy. I know all phones differ for various reasons, but AMOLED displays are the worst. At best, colors are too warm. At worst, it's an outright yellow or green tinting. And almost always way over saturated. I first noticed this on a Motorola Razr Android phone and thought it was defective. It wasn't until I tried to exchange it that I found out this was "normal" for that screen type. So I ate the restocking fee for a Bionic with an LCD screen instead and couldn't have been happier.

It's not just me either. I'm in a photography group on FB. I see it several times a week where someone posts how their images look good on their computer or printed out, but look horrible on their phones. It's almost laughable because 9/10 times, the phone is a Samsung.

I know in some cases an AMOLED display can save battery power. Exactly how much depends on usage (I.e. A white screen image uses about the same power on either display). For me, that's not even a consideration.

Yes next year when my contract is up. Now that Blackberry is selling their apps to any andriod with M or newer


I know note 8 will be out but I rather not pay so much for day one devices anymore. Switching to a 1 year old cycle.

Phones are so good now is possible

To each, his own I guess. I find the Samsung displays the best by a large margin.

 

[Jim Stanworth]

Agree

Please don't do it. I'm with you though...lol

I got all the way to checkout and couldn't hit submit. I might just keep my Note 4 until it dies.

You definitely have more willpower than me lol.

Yup, they say do it, and they even forgot about a better camera and IP68 improvements as reasons.

 

[slopokdave]

I don't think that I will be buying it. I don't see it as much more than the Galaxy S7E with a S-Pen. I have the GS7E and don't see it as much of an upgrade.

I would be right there with you if I still had the S7E.... I gave mine to my son when he broke his oneplus one, and have been using *cough* something else in the meantime. Looking forward to moving back to Android!

I got check out the phone at the Best Buy in midtown Manhattan, NY, and I think I'm going to get it to replace my two-year-old Note Edge. I'm going to wait for the unlocked version, though.

I know where you're coming from, it's also why I'm holding on to my Note 4. Many here won't get it but there are certain hardware features we older Note users value and expect to see carried over in subsequent Notes. We never expected to be cut off at the knees (by Samsung) and to be told by peers that we should just accept it and move on or that we're looked down upon for staying true to what we value and not being sucked into that new shiny just because it looks SO perty! Samsung has forgotten what truly made us Note aficionados drawn to the series (and who made it so successful!). Instead they've now effectively rolled us under the bus and have turned it into a S series device with a pen.

I'm trying to understand what "hardware” features you value more than the way better hardware on the Note 7? Removable battery? You guys are just going to have to get over it. It's gone and Samsung will not be bringing it back. I think I can speak for the majority of people that are REAL Note fans and say we are tired of hearing the Note 4 people crying about the removable battery issue. It's gone, if you have nothing positive to say about the Note 7 just stay over in the Note 4 section and praise your obsolete Note 4.
