Anyone tempted by S7/S7 Edge/G5? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5

I have to say, the silver S7 Edge is looking pretty damn sexy to me. A little bit smaller than N5 (always thought my 5.5inch G3 was the perfect size), bigger battery, IP67 rating, microSD slot, and better edge features (supposedly). Not to mention Snapdragon 820, which will surely bring better development than Exynos. All this gives me extremely high hopes for a perfect Note 6 come August. Samsung might have hit a home run here - as long as TouchWiz doesn't take a step back with MM.
At any rate, I have JOD with 1 jump left until it resets in July and the M10 doesn't look all that appealing so although the Note 5 has exceeded my expectations by a large margin, I have a feeling I won't be able to resist the S7 Edge. G5 looks incredibly too 'bubbly' for my liking and I have a feeling the 'Magic Slot' will be a gimmick, although major kudos to LG for trying something different in this land of all-too-familiar smartphones.
Anyone else thinking about jumping/upgrading/switching to S7/S7 Edge/G5? Reasons? Reasons not to?

S7 Edge maybe. I'm not liking the look of the G5 at all. It may look better in real life.

That's a strong possibility - everyone thought the Nexus 6P looked horrible in renders and leaked images but in person, it isn't nearly as bad. Might end up being true for the G5 too. Let's hope it is because the renders look hideous.

I am tempted by it the looks and specs look great but ill stay on note 5 until its dead

You make a good point - 95% of people put cases/skins on their phone so the looks aren't always important.
LG software ain't half bad either, although I haven't heard how it runs on MM.

Nope. Note 5 is my last samsung device.

I will get the s7 edge, but wait a couple week or so far promotions to come out lol
I've only had interest for Samsung phones since the s4. Tried CM once on my nexus s but I wasn't feeling it

I've been on the Note 5 since release day, been itching to use one of my Jumps. Going to grab the S7 Edge because 5.2" is too small for my hands.

Which OEM are you going to switch to? Or are you turning Nexus?

I might get it. Partly because I'm a phone addict, but mostly because I like that it has an SD card slot, improved camera and supposedly better battery life.

The new nexus or iphone 6s/plus.

I haven't fully explored my note 5 yet, so no, not the least bit. I'll wait for the note 6 or nexus phone to get tempted.

unless something crazy happens tomorrow the G5 will definitely be my next phone.

Replaceable battery, always on screen (good chance its OLED), magicport, no xyenos chip, metal body not glass, less leaded down UI. Probably more but that's off the top of my head

I am on T-Mobile and am jumping from my note 5 to s7 because the s7 will have a snapdragon CPU which means the development will be way better than note 5. will be able to have aosp on s7. That's my main reason. Also expandable storage is a big plus to me.

I'm definitely upgrading I always do no matter what lol

Picked the wrong phone

Man, I guess I didn't realize how limited the production was for the Edge. Development is slow. I picked the wrong phone, didn't I?
Thinking the same, but then again, i don't know how to develop crap so i guess i can't complain. Honestly, i never expected a whole like with the regular notes but i think it will start to pick up soon. We have one member who seems to be making quality modules for the edge now so that's a start. We have root so basically it's all up to us how much and how fast it goes. But again, i can't really help unless something needs to done in SAS or Hadoop LOL. We can start paying the devs?
yeah u might have, if you wanted a lot of roms to flash , but me on the other hand I`m going to wait for 5.0 and then root, I`m really happy with the edge, but I have had the Nexus 6 and the moto X (2014) and I just love the edge screen with just the little flick of my thumb I have access to my most used apps right on the EDGE of the screen
I can't keep mine charged, keep burning it up in four or five hours. Of course I am on vacation with nothing to do. So I am playing with the phone a lot. LoL

Sounds like you did.
There isnt to much support for the note edge. It just came out a few weeks ago and its limited so not many people have it.
If you want to flash different roms daily then i dont think it was a good idea to get the Edge right now.
Now in the future there will be more suppose and a ton of edge panels.
Im good tho. I never flash a ton of roms. Just stay basically stock with some customization. I do wish there was more edge panels but i i know they will come, I see so much it can do.
Had a feeling production might be limited on this device, was going to wait a few and see how development goes, but i wanted to get a good price for my LG-G3, plus the production of these devices were rumored to be limited so I pulled the trigger. If things do not pick up then i will take my girls Note 4 she could careless about rooting and Roms and will take this device without complaint, so i guess i got that ace in the hole.

ROM development is slow, but that's expected. Less of a premium feel, not so much. The Edge is top quality in regards to aesthetics. Don't get me wrong, though... The Note 4 isn't far behind at all. Just my $.02...
Let's not jump the gun here. If you stroll over to the AT&T Note 4 forums, they're in the same boat that we are currently. It takes time. And Ker~Man nailed it; the Edge has a very premium feel.

the Edge is built solid especially for a Samsung phone, but the Note 4 has that double chrome on it, and the chrome is a little wider, along with the symmetry of the phone it feels better built than the Edge in my opinion.

Agreed. The Note 4 feels significantly nicer in the hand, but the Edge is still nice for a Samsung.

Tell my why I shouldn't return my One M9 for an S6

I've had my HTC One M9 for 2 days now, and I'm starting to see things that are disappointing to me. Especially for such a high end, pricey device. Battery life is not very good at all compared to my old LG G2. And it takes forever to charge. The camera is, for lack of a better word, horrible.
I'm trying to decide if I should return it to T-Mobile in exchange for a Galaxy S6. All the reviews I've read and watched lean toward the S6.
Tell me why or why not?
...You came to the S6 forum to ask fans of the device to talk you into NOT getting it?
Seriously? -_-
Nah, this is definitely an April Fool's post.
I was torn between the m9 and s6..after watching the keynote and seeing hands on videos, I quickly decided on the s6. I'm glad I did. Pictures look better than my g2 (the phone I came from). The screen crispness, colors and brightness is superb! Didn't mind not having micro SD or removable battery since I didn't have it before.
The only thing I find weird to adjust is that whites seem to have a yellow tint, where as on my g2 they were more blue or white (in my opinion).
The front facing camera is really nice quality too.
S6,higher res screen in a slightly bigger screen size. The size of s6 is smaller and lighter than the m9.

Well... the only cons are the same cons that every review mentions. Lack of SD card slot and price. Also the speaker quality is obviously lesser on the S6 if that matters to you.
The only other consideration is how much you care about rooting/unlocking/custom ROM support, which will certainly be stronger on the M9 just because it's a Snapdragon device. At least that's how it'll be initially.
Other than those, the M9 loses in every other measurable area.
So really the M9 Vs. S6 issue comes down to how much the price difference matters, how much you care about "3rd party" support, and whether or not you need a SD card slot.
Edit: Suppose the M9 warranty program is worth considering as well.

We'll, my G2 was running aicp 5.0.2 with custom rom which I could easily go 24hrs and be fine.
So far my s6 has slightly less battery life. But i can quickly go from 15% to 100% in an hour. Balances out. I'm using the s6 a lot to get things setup and such, so not quite a fair comparison. Letting the battery settle in for a week.
I do see a speed difference between my g2 and the s6 though
I'm even kinda been on the fence to keep my G2 and hold out what's to come in the fall, but that is very unlikely for me to do.

The s6 is faster, or the g2? Same here with waiting. I wanted to wait for the g4, but with T-Mobile's jump, I'm able to upgrade every 6 months. So, no biggie if I wanna go back to LG at the end of the year.

I haven't gotten the S6 yet since I'll have to wait until April 10th, and I'm also coming from a G2.
The S6 will definitely be faster- even though I really do enjoy my G2.
All the Bestbuy locations have the S6/Edge on display. I suggest you check them out in person.
If you are coming here to ask you have already made your decision. To be honest if you are interested in a G4 id wait until its announced and compare that to the S6 then get a device.
I'll tell you why you SHOULD return your One M9. The S6 is by far the biggest leap I've ever seen in a phone, and I've had every major LG/HTC/Samsung phone from the past 3 years lol.
It truly is a home run.
Keep m9 for a bit longer to see if anything changes in terms of camera and battery performance. I think a person should keep a phone for a least two weeks to get a good impression. Also go on HTC thread to see camera tricks. I'm getting m9 tomorrow and I will see if it will meet my great expectations as I'm coming from a phone that's three years old.
I would only buy s6 if camera was the main thing but for me it isn't and the negatives of the s6 outweigh my liking for the device. The soc difference isn't big in reality and I think they both have inconsistent battery reviews from people, so they are similarly disappointing. Design and ui are a personal opinion but I think m9 is better.
Go with whatever you like tbh and I hope whichever phone you choose you have a great experience

Only Gripe? Having a camera THAT bad is a HUGE fail on HTC's part, when the biggest weakness they've had since the M7 fiasco was their camera
All they had to do to save their company was fix their camera and put a 2K screen in their new flagship.
Instead, they did neither. I predict either a buyout from Samsung to grab patents or HTC simply going out of business in a year.

Screen is a moot point no real difference with 1080p its just a numbers game tbh. iPhone 6 has a lower resolution screen and funnily enough it also looks fine.
Thank god they didn't put a 2k display and the camera isn't an epic fail. They haven't pushed the sensor to what it is capable of. Also manual control says a different story. I doubt they are going bust this year and I think they would rather die then sell themselves to Samsung. I do hope they do get bought by another respectable company so they can be in a better position. They just need more money in R&D and marketing.

Which to buy? S7 or S7E+

Hey guys I'm going to preorder my Phone today.
I'm just so indecisive on which one I should get. I went from the Note 3 to iPhone 6 Plus. I want to get back to my Sammy but I don't know which one to get.
What bothers me about the edge is the, well, edge part. It's bigger yet I feel like the sharp corners don't give u a good grip. On the positive side it's a bigger display.
The regular S7 looks to be much better of a feel on the hands.
What do u guys think? Am I being too hard on the edge or do some of you feel the same way.
Oh one last thing. I feel it would be a lot easier to break the edge screen.
Thanks
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Well sounds like you want the regular S7.
I had my hands in both and both feel comfortable in hand but the S7 feels better in my opinion. Don't really care for the edge.
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
im in the same vote as you i preordered both devices , i have the reg s6 atm , the edge never apealed to me , i though tit looked cool but as for usefullness i find the edge gimmicky however seeing as how the reg s7 is curved on the back already and me wanting a larger screen and bigger battery i am taking the plunge and going edge version for this s7 upgrade , i always use a flygrip on the case of any device i have so holding it inst a problem . and the edge features can be disabled if needed.
Thank you both for your inputs. I'm gonna order the S7 non edge. Enjoy your devices guys.

Hit up BestBuy and give them both a try and see which feels better, S7 Edge might feel like a bad grip because of the screen but it isn't, you can also add a case and get a better grip no worries.

Exactly, I was settled for the S7 but then I gave them a try at BB and liked the S7 Edge better cause of the looks, bigger battery and the screen is bigger but doesn't feel as big as a 6 inch phone.
Well guys I completely fell off the wagon. I ended up getting the Note 5 32GB instead. I went to the T-Mobile store and felt much happier using the Note than the S7 or S7 Edge.
Don't get me wrong I was much impressed with the S7 but before leaving to an iPhone I was a note 3 user. Probably one of my favorite devices of all time to be honest. Anywho the important part is that im back with Samsung and Android.

I had the note 5 and my battery was terrible. I'm a power user. I upgraded to the edge just for the battery and have been satisfied since day one. Plus the development on the note 5 really slowed down.

With the current ROM and Kernel my battery life is great IMO
I had the edge and I returned it for the s7 and I'll tell you why. It's basically the only thing that bothered me... The edge function is nice, but the edge screen and it's shortcut thing has 0 use for any other app at all, and it makes the other apps really weird looking to me. Instagram for instance, the picture is warped around both sides and drove me crazy. Nothing else is meant to be viewed with 10 percent of the screen warped on the sides. Facebook the same thing. Even some buttons like the like button or whatever would be half on the bent edge, so you would have to hit them on the corner and it just bothered the crap out of me. That's just my thoughts obviously, but I couldn't deal. It was such a relief to have the s7 screen after that.
I have had both versions and US (Tmo) and International. I have to Say International (Exynos) regular is the one to go with. It's simply amazing ! I got better battery and gaming performance and ......... NO carrier BLOATWARE ! SM-G930F is the model number I have. Also It's rootable (not sure as of right now if US models are) but in future they may be as well.
Good luck !
I watched a lot of videos and read a lots of articles and reviews before I decided that I want a new Samsung phone and I thought that S7 would be the right choice for me. But then when I went to the local store and put my hands on both of S7 and S7E I just completely changed my mind for S7E.
Initially I had only one concern for S7E that it is too big but it is turned out tahat actually it is not as big as and having edges making this phone really nice and easier to use plus it has bigger battery than S7.
So my suggestion would be if you have Samsung store somewhere around just go in and physically touch both of the phones and play around a bit this way you can make proper decision. No one else can make it for you.
Good luck with your choice! :good:

Keep your money mate! If you were coming form an older phone I'd say make the leap, but you should be set for at least another year.
It totally depends on your circumstances. If this and if that, only you know those answers ..

It really depends. There is more to the switch than just the processor. Antutu performance wise its about 25 ranks higher than the S7 Edge in overall performance. My roommate updated from the S7 Edge and likes it and I have both and prefer the S8+. If processor is the only factor for you then you can hold off for a while maybe window shop at your local store to see if you like it better.
bigger screen and the battery life are my two big favorites over the S7E. The fact the S8+ is also far less laggy than the S7E (which has to be a software problem since the Note 7 ran like a raped ape in comparison to the S7E and they shared the same processor/ram)
battery life is nearly double for me. Which is worth it alone.
All I know is my wife's s7edge is running like crap right now. Even cleared up some memory, moved all kinds of stuff over, reset phone and still slow and the battery life since nougat is horrendous. Weird, right when the new phone comes out.
I have tested the s8 and from when I had my s7edge it's definitely faster and smoother, but it's nowhere near the speed of my Mate 9. Should work for my wife, but not me.
Seems like battery reviews are decent, but so where our s7's when we 1st got them.

Looks like nobody has mentioned that if you LOVED the way Note 7 felt in your hands with symmetrical curves front and back then you will be right at home with the S8/S8+. It's every bit as sleek as the Note 7 was. Much speedier and actually more sleek due to not having any buttons on the front.... Only negative I've got is no s-pen. Will upgrade to Note 8 as soon as it's out . Once again, if this will be enticing enough on top of what everybody else has said, will be all up to you

Thanks for the replies guys. I actually utilize soc for linux packages and such so any performance boost is good. One reason I was hesitant is the 8890 still ticks well. Also yeah if the note 8 is coming this year I may get that one. I love my s7e but I miss the note. The S pen makes a good mouse too.
How's the s8 durabilty? I already shattered my s7 edge in december and the insurance gave me a brand new one. I already wasted 100 on two tempered glass because of case incompatibility. I would run no screen protector but I'm wary lol.
Also my s7e internal memory is running out since most of my apps can't be moved to sd card lol.
Idk it doesn't seem that big of an upgrade, that's why I asked.
Until the Note 8 comes out there is zero on the market to replace what the Note 7 performed. Our Note 7's where mini PC's and I agree the S-pen had developed over the years to become a mouse. I want a Note 8 and am looking forward to its eventual introduction. I think the Note 7 is a legend of a mobile and NOT for the negative reason but its positive capabilities. I have never missed a mobile with the exception of the Note 7.

Who's Getting a Galaxy S10E, S10, S10+ ???

I personally am, only because I'm on T-Mobile JOD to then be able to "Jump" to the Note 10 in August. The S-Pen is very nice, but I can do w/o it for 6 months. I know not everyone has that option depending on the carrier. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts.
Nope, I love my SPen too much, will wait for N10, also, not convinced about the bezelless screen.

That camera cut out looks irritating, nah wait for the NOTE X 10 or whatever it will be called! i don’t think i can get on with a display that has a camera cut out in display! Stupid idea..

How do we know that they won't do the same for the next Note? That whole Camera in the S-Pen thing I keep seeing seems iffy.

The Samsung Galaxy Note Smartphone's fall under the Business/Creativity category, it would be dumb to have a cut out in the display as that kills the S-Pen.. Well that’s how I’m looking at it!
I won't. I like my note a lot. But I may get it for the wife as she is currently on the S9. Not sure what model she will want.
Something about the note 9 feels premium to me vs the S models. I've had all previous S models and you just can't compare the feel of the note with the S models imho.
I got the E 8/256 model. Traded in my 3 XL for it. I never cared for the 3 XL anyways. I think it cost me $250.
No since the Note 9 is my first Note i do not see my self going back to the Galaxy S line.
I am perfectly happy with my Note 8 N950N. I probably won't upgrade to a new model until my device starts to fail.

After watching a few videos of the Samsung Galaxy S10+! Man that camera cut does not look intrusive at all! It’s so subtle i think Samsung has pulled it off! And the OLED screen looks Amazing!

Personally I think the holepunch on the display is not the best idea for a all display all the time immersive experience. I think that Samsung should have continued to use the old design with thin bezels. As that looks much better than having a hole in my display. But who knows maybe when I go to see the promotional event of the SGS10 series, I will change my mind. Afterall I didn't like the idea of not having physical buttons on my devices. Then I got the Note 8 and I have took to it like a fish in water...
I can't jusifty the added cost from my Note 9. First time in a while I'm not in a rush to upgrade.

Yep i kind of agree with you untill seeing the S10+ in flesh cant really say! You seen the new Sony Xperia a1 4K OLED 21.9 ? it looks mental no hole punch i'm really tempted taking the Sony route! But Samsung are awesome as well owning so many samsung gear it kind of hard to let go!

To be honest any who has either a Note 9, one of the SGS9 or even a Note 8 or one of the SGS8 series devices. There really is no point in upgrading to the SGS10 series. Sure there is a bump up in the specs and you get a newer display. But at the end of the day if your current device is still working perfectly fine, what is the point. Save you cash until your device becomes obsolete then upgrade to the latest model.
