Note 7 or Note 8

Yes. Sorry didn’t make clear... business account. Carriers still have subsidized contracts for Business accounts. We deploy a lot of phones at the company’s I work for and happen to have a boss that lets me use a line eligible for upgrade to buy a phone for myself at Corp prices. I’m on the phone lot for work purposes so it works out for both.

Is this with AT&T?

I went into the Note 7 with the plan to use that phone for several years (3 +). So i would not have upgraded to the note 8 or even the note 9. I was able to use my note 7 until the end of January of this year and i was very happy with it.

Now with the note 8 (should arrive today YAY), i plan to keep this phone maybe even longer (i feel it is maybe a little more future proof).

I really have no need to upgrade every year, i had always been on a 2 year replacement cycle when i used iPhones (passed my old iPhones down to family members). None of them want to switch to android so i will have no real push to get rid of my note 8 for a long time.

I would not have upgraded to the Note 8. I really loved the Note 7. That being said, the Note 8 is an awesome device. Now that prices for a top end device like the N8 are near $1k (more expensive than many laptops), and there are no subsidies being offered by carriers, I think it's likey I'll hold onto this phone until the Note 10 comes out.

Not feeling the idea of a foldable smartphone.

Time to see what the Note 9 now offers once the Note 8s are in all hands that want it.

Let's see how the problems are handled, light leakage, etc. Maybe the Note 9.

Yes, the Note 8 hands down beats the Note 7. Note 7 was the worst phone of 2016, Note 8 is one of the top ones released so far for 2017.
