Re: Seriously thinking about..
I'll give you the speakers. The speaker on the note 7 is terrible. I'm okay with it since that has a lot to do with the water resistance/savior pen.
I don't really miss the active display that much partially because a million-ish notifications. I'm not the biggest fan on the always on display on my note 7 but at least it works better then the Nexus 6 active display.
Not to mention the edge display when fun is off is kind of nice at night it feels like a clock almost. I miss the drive mode more when it worked on the Moto x pure it worked flawless. Haven't tried s-voice yet.
It's kind of funny because I shattered my display on mxp to kingdom come and payed $150 to get it fixed. Should have reanimated Nexus 6 instead. Speaker bump came off and one is wobbly repair guy said they don't ever go back on the same way. I was okay with that like you say, active display, Moto voice, and speakers are amazing.
Then Moto announced Moto z will be updated on a whim or major release/whim basically. Not coming to any carrier but Verizon initially. Only gsm instead of all carriers like Moto x pure and Moto g4. Mxp got may security update in July. Not even 6.0.1. That's okay. Had my 64 adoptable storage micro SD card in (bought 16 GB big mistake) and it ran smooth and fast and all apps worked. Then micro SD card failed, apps crash, system process goes haywire and multiple resets. Micro SD card is done for and all the data is gone. I realize I took the risk doing adoptable storage. Although some research online showed it mostly happens to Moto phones. That was it.
Note 7 just came out and i got to help a friend with his s7 active and use and help family member with their s7. Realized Samsung is actually doing security updates and let's you uninstall most of the bloat (but att direct TV though...) and realized Samsung isn't the same company and software from the horrid epic touch 4g era. Immediately picked up a note 7 black one after work last Tuesday.
I've been in love, surgically attached, savior pen for life since. Had no idea how nicely Google and Samsung get along now. Was amazed that Google, Samsung apps/ T-Mobile were separated. Turned off awful briefing. Actually using a lot of the Samsung apps too. Like Samsung browser better than chrome great support for stylus and using edge display a bit too. First note ever new I'd love the stylus and I was right. Love screen writing stuff to send to friends/help them too and gifs are fun too.
It feels like a good balance of both Google and Samsung i don't know if I'll keep using grace ux or go back to Google now launcher. Activiting Google on tap to get to Google now feed isn't that bad. Camera is beyond amazing too I had no problem with the Moto x but after using the s7/active and at night. Made me feel sad to use my Moto X.
I actually was considering the axon 7 (killer phone) or even the Moto g4. I don't know why I've been caring about security updates more than os updates but I have and as long as samsung delivers I don't mind waiting on nougat. Still have my Nexus 6 cracked display too. Little side note it seems since the merger even the Moto x pure moto hasn't really added anything new to the software since really the Moto x (2014). Except for new camera features but only for 2016 devices.
