What phone coming out might make you pass on the note 7?

I'm still considering the V20 if it comes out soon. The specs I'm hearing will be pretty good. Plus if it has a removable battery and IR blaster that is wonderful. I'd take that over an Spen.

As much as I want to agree with you, I can't get past the reliability issue that have plagued LG in the last year or so. That and they don't do well with security updates at all.

I had the V10 for about 10 days and loved it for the most part. Just an issue with my work email and some bluetooth issues prevented me from keeping it.

I think it's safe to say that the newer phone will usually have the old one beaten in a lot of ways. Sure, we'll see some things regress, but with a few exceptions, it's usually the better phone.

There's nothing wrong with liking an older phone because it better fits your needs. That's fine. I do like my old One M7 despite having an absolutely toasted battery and I still think it's one of the best phones I've used, even though it's 3 years old by now.

But the simple thing is, an old phone can't outpunch a new one in most cases overall.

Amended your post as follows, when applied to the Note 7 vs Note 4:

There's no need to be overly gracious to the Note 4. It was soundly beaten in 2015 and while it's good, it's not even in the top 10 devices anymore. Because the industry moved WAY beyond it. It's old and tired and it's time we all moved on and let it rest in it's phone nursing home.

All that said, I'd be happy to let the Note 4 vs Note 7 battle end and return to the conversation about new phones soon to be released that challenge the Note 7. The only ones I can think of are the Marlin, Moto Z Droid Force and MAYBE the LG V20, if LG has fixed their face.

Alright, can we get back to our usual programming?

Apologies, was just responding to others. Didn't mean to turn anything into a battle. Carry on...

You're more than fine, no one argues in a vacuum and these discussions are fun, just seems like we're taking over the thread and maybe should make a new one for Note 4 vs Note 7

As the LG V20 will be announced in September, I will wait to see what it gives
