Note 5 Users - Are you Tempted by the S7/S7 Edge?

Re: Tempted by the new S7 and S7 Edge .

Gotta have my SPen so not for me.

I think the new home button on the s7 looks great. Not as round anymore. Especially on the black version, because the outer ring is black too (no chrome).

It's surely a great device, but I don't play games. Would be nice to have a comparison between the processors N5 vs S7. But I have to agree to the above posts, I love the spen too much Thats why I imported mine from china xD (I live in europe)

I also think the new"edge features" are more of a gimmick than truly revolutionary for the devices' daily usage. I watched the whole presentation live two days ago and there were no real selling points for me. Camera might be cool, and the new processor cooling tube is awesome

 

[pinkvikchick]

YES! But my credit cards slaps my hand and says NO! Wait for the Note 6

 

[Loedi]

Not at all

Re: Tempted by the new s7 and s7 edge.

Edge version definitely has my attention. That big ole battery and new camera are very appealing.

From my AT&T Platinum Gold Note 5

Big ole battery? 3000mah just like the note 5.

Better camera? How do you figure? Same specs and features other than the note 5 has a 16mp and edge 7 has a 12, but the focal and aperture are the same.

Smaller screen too. Only advantage I see is waterproofing, but thats no different than what my redpepper case does.

Let's compare the Note 5 to the S7 Edge, because size is close. The battery is bigger, combined with the improved processor this should give a noticeable bump in battery life (that's not counting Doze!).

The camera will probably be better in some situations but the same in others. Aperture is not the same on the two devices. Note 5 is f/1.8 while S7 Edge is f/1.7.

Waterproofing without use of a case is an advantage.

I like the Note 5 a lot, but I don't take advantage of the stylus and I got it mostly because the S6 had pretty bad battery life. I'll probably be picking up the S7 Edge. If I actually used the stylus more I would just keep the Note 5, it's still a great phone.

The 3600 mAh battery and the whole waterproofing thing is pretty tempting, but that's it.

Still love my N5 and I'll be sticking with it for a while.

Try 3600 mAh for the Edge.

Not tempted by the 7 at all. Have the S6E+ and Note 5 and neither of the 7's tempt me to replace either one.

 

[nizmoz]

Yep. Ordered the s7 edge. Sdcard slot and bigger battery is a winner. I rarely use the s pen.

 

[itsnotmeitsyou]

I'm going to get it in April, when my JUMP is available. I like the improved camera (less pixels means nothing), sd card slot, better battery life, and water resistance.

 

[alhc78]

Yes was tempted so I put my order in for the black S7 edge. Will keep my note 5 as well but I can't wait to get the S7 edge!

 

[usman khushnood]

Only a little by the s7 edge but not the s7 at all because it is alot smaller than my note 5. S7 edge is good because its not that smaller plus new features such as water resistance and sd card slot are tempting. And the new camera looks good as well. But i dont think i am tempted enough to get it and replace my note 5 with it. I will wait and see what note 6 brings to the table. I have only bought this in december so i am planning to keep this for another year or so. May be even longer than that.

Love my Note 5

The S7 only has 32GB internal storage. Not enough compared to the Note 5 with 64GB internal storage. I'm staying with the Note series regardless, and I hope that the Note 6 has an option for 64GB internal storage + SD card.

Yeah I read the specs on the s7, not the edge. My bad. As far as always f1.7 over f1.8, thats not a big deal to me. I dont do 4:3 paper prints, I do 16:9 digital prints so f1.8 works fine. Like I said, I have a waterproof case, and if I want to take wet photos I have a GoPro.

Not to mention, I just bought the gear vr for the note 5 and it rocks.

Re: Tempted by the new s7 and s7 edge.

Try 3600 mAh for the Edge.

That's the most tempting feature for me. I actually prefer internal memory only for security.

I'm hoping the 7 edge is so popular they sell Note 5 at a huge discount!

 

[faith3935]

Sounds tempting but I wouldnt want to lose the stylus so I would wait for the Note 6.

I'd be interested in the S7 is they made it in 5.5 like the s7edge I don't use the S pen and I don't like edge screens but I love the size of the note 5.

Poor excuse when the s7 has microsd card support up to 200gb.
