I had a black Note 7 and Silver Note 7. The silver note 7 was a beauty in my opinion. The form factor of the Note 7 was awesome too. But, after having the Note 8 for a while now, it's a better phone in every way. Glad Samsung is a big enough company to recover from that mess, because if Notes were gone, I'd
probably not be interested in any other smartphone. I will say also that I think this phone is better looking in black than the Note 7 was. It's the deepest black I've ever seen on a phone. The Note 7 was more charcoal, which is one reason I returned it for silver.
