Why bother with the S7 Edge now that there is the Note 7

[chanchan05]

It is pretty easy to find good USB-C cables. I find them easily on Amazon.

Not everyone is in the US. I know USB-C is difficult to find here in my country.

Simply because, after owning the note 2&4,i really never used the spen. And i dont want added bulk.

Very true. I know deadpixel (or well if I am recalling correctly) is though.

Probably already mentioned, but "the edge" screens are what I don't like. Now that it's a feature on the Note 7, I see no reason to dump my S7E.
I really hoped this was just a fad...but it might be my last Samsung device

I agree with you, I dont like the edge screen either. Went to the regular s7 and loved it but the battery was not lasting me long enough so I went back to the edge. I think Samsung is going to stick with the edge screens unfortunately. It's not comfy in the hand, and makes one handed usability very difficult. I also miss have a bezel on the sides, don't like the edge to edge display.

5.5 inches is the max screen size for me.

If you really need the spen or all the other productivity features that the note offers, it may be a good option for you. But after having the note 2, and note 4 ,I realized that I wasn't using the spen, and was tired of the bulk. So I'm staying with the S7 edge. Perfect size, and battery lasts all day plus.

I am exactly the same. I had the original note, the note 3 and then the note 4. I love the large display but I don't use the s pen and don't like the bulk. The S7 edge has all the real estate but not the bulk.

Keep in the mind price $100 MORE for just an iris scanner and S Pen features and 64gb that's it when you can get a new S7 Edge for 100 or less depending were you buy it

I had a Note 3 before and it was way better then the S4 that's why I got the Note over the S4. The S7 edge vs Note 7 on the other hand, there's nothing better in specs, battery or upgrade from the S phone.

And more internal storage, and Gorilla Glass 5, and a larger screen, and an improved theme engine that allows you to just use the icons or the wallpaper from a theme without without using the whole thing.

I am one of 3 people that hate styluses. I like using my meaty sausage fingers on the screen.

.....this note just doesn't speak to me. The Note used to be so much superior to the S series, but no so much anymore.

yup yup, 100% agree... (S7 Edge Owner & Samsung loyalist here).... when i was @ Best Buy & comparing the black one(kinda plastic-y look & feel if u ask me) to my WHITE Int'l Version S7E, it DID speak to me.. it said "move on, nothing to see here!" lol

i admit i was REALLY disappointed that i didn't get that, "omg! i have GOT to have this phone NOW" feeling as i have with EVERY Single Note before it but i am sure that is due to HOW GREAT my S7 E is, not that the Note is a disappointment....

Now if they would've made it a 6 inch note in a 5.5 inch form factor, that'd of been a whole 'nother story : )

The Note 7 is VERY comfortable in the hands, which bodes well for future edge screens

Well hopefully they take the slightly less curve of the note 7 and add it to the s8 edge!

So, say you had 2 options (I'm in Canada and renewing on Contract cuz that's what we do lol):

Option 1:
-Note 7 is pre-ordered at Carrier, contract price is $560
-Get a Samsung 64GB Mem card (unsure which model)
-Get Gear Fit 2

Option 2:
-S7E at Best Buy sale this weekend for $0 on Contract
-Get 128GB Evo+ Memory Card

I mean, it's clear to me anyways that S7E is way better deal, especially since I don't think I would use the Note features. Even if I sold the Gear Fit 2 for $200 (they are $250 CDN MSRP) that still puts the Note 7 at $360 with a lesser memory card.

Note 7 is SD820 and S7E is Exynos here in Canada so that's another + in the S7E column.
I just want to make sure I don't regret not getting the Note but that's a HUGE price difference.

I rather keep the edge, since the note mostly has the same specs of the edge. The note for me shows nothing totally new that that I truly need.
