But this is, if I'm not mistaken, discussion on whether or not to upgrade from the s5 to the s7, which I think is a good thread to have.
My opinion on the matter, I'm going to the s6 for financial reasons. I mainly want carrier aggregation. Plus the s6 is good enough. Especially since I buy through third party sellers.

If you're comfortable with the width of the Galaxy S5, the Galaxy S7 Edge is the same width.
I'm getting the Galaxy S7 Edge because of that. I get more screen for the size of device I am comfortable with.
I did try it out at Best Buy. I don't notice distortion when watching videos in widescreen mode, and the glare is a lot less than the S6. They let the screen go more to the edge of the device before starting the curve, so there's a much sharper transition than the S6. This means less glare, and less interference with clicking things.
i just preorder the s7 edge. be here friday.

I just got the Note 3 yesterday.
Let me make it clear by saying that I enjoyed every minute of owning the S4.
But I did start a thread saying I'll probably move to the N3 when it's released.
I actually moved from the Note1 to the S4.
I'm moved from the Note 1 to the S4 primarily because of the high-resolution screen and the LTE 4G.
But I was never really comfortable because the screen on the S4 was small something that I felt suffocated , claustrophobic.
My main concern or lets day apprehension was the possible difference in PPI.
I noticed.the ppi difference between the Note2 and Note3 immediately.
Yes it's there with the s4 vs n3 but not as much.
It's mostly there with apps that haven't adapted to the large format I think.
Other than disgustingly terrible battery life, I had no issues with the s4.
I liked the s4 ,was a great interim phone but my heart lies with the large sizes creens.
After using my S4 as primarily a media device I too am tempted by a bigger screen. Having good unlimited data has really brought this phone alive. The N3 is definitely something to consider.

Hope you enjoy your new device. For me personally, the S4 is as big as I'd ever want a daily carry smartphone to be. I'm a big guy, but anything larger than the S4 is just firmly into the Phablet category for me. And the battery life on my S4 has been outstanding with Juice Defender installed.

I used my iPad far less when I had my Note 1. Mostly when I was reading rss feeds & found with mobile versions.

the s4 is indeed perfect for the majority.
Shame its got the same crappy camera as the S4 (no image stabilisation)
Otherwise it's an awesome phone I must admit!
Does it has a guest mode ?????

I also came from the Note1 to the S4 and also very keen to get Note3 for the bigger screen, but yes, the camera isn't great for a 13mp. Also, just wish my fingers were longer to hold the N3 like the S4. Also i see they have dropped the FM radio in all the phones now... damn, i used to use it a lot. Note1 had FM, S4 and N3 not. Or maybe wait for S5, maybe screen slightly bigger bridging the gap a bit more to the Note 3... dunno... ramblings of a musthavenewphoneaholic
The worst part about note 3 Is being region lock SIM. I hate what Samsung is trying to impose on us.

That has nothing to do with the phone. Thats a management/administrative issue with Samsung as a corp.

Maybe the reduction from 5.5 to 5.0 didn't affect you.
It did for me when I went from 5.3 to 5.0 (N1 to S4).

I immediately saw a difference. Plus the S4 screen has a yellow tint, or the N3 has a white'ish tint.
I assumed the S4 was yellower and less bright because itd been used for a few months.

The delete icon is back on top in the gallery.
For some reason in the previous version they replaced the delete icon with the last used shared icon.
So to delete a picture you'd have to enter menu then find the delete button then press it, then confirm.
Now its an icon on top next to share and last used.
What a relief.
Why would they bury it in the menu settings anyways?

It looks like the Note 3 is better under sunlight.
What I hate with Note 3 is the high price and the fact that you need 2 hands for everything on it,apart the big screen it has nothing better
Note III isn't that "BIG" change from S4 i don't own the device but i didn't get "i must get it" since 4.3 update gets most of the "features i've seen" on the note III the new browser etc,
and if you wan't more note III features well, we can use the apps from the leak
also stock browser have been better, new thing is bad, loading pages isn't going as it once used to
I had a play around with a Note 3 a couple of days ago and I came to the same conclusion that I did with the Note 2 before it. Namely that it's too big to be practical as a mobile phone and too small to be a tablet. And that's coming from someone with big hands.
It looks lovely but it's not for me, the S4 at 5" is the perfect size for a mobile phone. And the screen looks smoother due to the increased DPI.
One thing that does interest me is the bootloader. Does it come with Knox by default?

Samsung reveled two brand new phones the SGN4 and the SGN Edge. The only thing that pushes me to buy one of these phones is the feature that turns a picture into an editable text. It will be a huge PLUS in University in my opinion.
The hardware is exactly the same on both devices. But one has the little curved display. Which do you think is best? Should i make the step and buy the "unsual" smartphone or the "usual" one?
Im switching from an old laggy Galaxy S3 . For daily phone/message use i will have my iPhone 4 small and practical phone. I feel more comfortable calling and texting with iOS .
So whats your opinion guys? I believe that the Edge version will not sell as many as the note 4, and maybe rooting wont be so easy on this device.

When I would choose then I would choose the Note Edge because I wanna try it out.
But it's also much money and maybe that edge stuff is really annoying and all your money will be wasted for a bad feature.
If you have enough money to sell your Edge in case if you don't like it and buy a Note 4 than you should go for the Edge.
November/December will my HTC One M8 arrive !
As ive seen the note edge specs differs from note 4 ... note 4 seems to have greater cpu and bigger battery..

I have the Note Edge through Verizon, and I have seen numerous ads for the S6 and S6 Edge coming out. Just wondering why the Note Edge seems to be non existent. There seems to be no love for this amazing device that started it all.
Because people are stupid, preferring a shiny, blingy, phone without expandable storage or a removable battery to the more functional Note Edge.

Because Samsung never advertised the Note Edge. They stuck all their eggs in one basic with the Note 4.
That's too bad. Hopefully when people get their hands on the S6 edge, they'll realize that there's also a note edge out there.

not pleased Sammy
To be honest, I am disturbed and disappointed by Samsung's disowning of the edge. No advertising, limited good accessories, lack of developer support - from third party players AND samsung. I have never bought a premium phone that was supported as little as this. I have honestly stopped coming to this forum because there has been nothing of significance happening. No ROMS, no panels, no accessories. Ok, its not NOTHING but it is beyond scarce. I think the edge is one of the most innovative and best phones I ever owned. I get it, we were test dummies for the s6 edge. If there is no removable battery and sd card in the edge 2 I will switch to another phone maker come the fall.

so is T-Mobile which is the variant i own. there is basically 2 roms, and one of them has been abandoned since mid December. If you are looking for development this is not the device to get, i think because it was released after the Note 4, without a concrete release date, and the talk of limited availability that a lot of buyers/developers went with the Note 4 instead. i am personally going to switch to the Note 4 soon, and wait and see what the Note edge 2 and Note 5 develops into.
would be nice with with a note 4 rom, nobody porting those here?
i am wondering if i should take edge or note 4... little scary with lack of support tho... dont have time to play so much with the roms lately...
Check out this craziness!

No, I posted it for people who haven't pulled the trigger on buying the S7 because of the bootloader thing, but own a Note 5 right now. Or people who kept their old ones.
People DO check out forums of devices they haven't bought yet: at least, I know I do.

i think the S8+ will do just fine. i have had every note device and never use the S pen. im excited for the new s8 though. just retruned my 7 plus and reversed my upgrade!
I was so excited when I got my note 5 back when, and decided that with oden, rooting was marvelous. and the dev. was very supportive. I'm on the s7 for a second time around and have seen a complete reversal for support. so with me it's a non issue with out an unlocked boot-loader. but if I had to choose, I couldn't wait, its the s8+ . Hopefully, a miracle would happen. peace.
I will get the S8+ if I decided to get a Samsung device this year. Simply because I rarely used the SPen ever.
Yea. I only use spen for copy and pasting texts

The Note 8 might have fingerprint under glass (at front), according rumors, the S8 would have had it, but Samsung run out of time to produce enough.
or the Samsung Galaxy On8? india only, but seems a better phone with removable back cover, none of this glass plated nonsense.
S8+ is on my high priority list! Don't need pen...
Just choose s8 plus
I still remember the day I bought a s6 edge
I used to love Samsung devices, but ever since they went only curved screens I've been bummed. Ooh well no more Galaxy's for me anymore. There are plenty of other phones. BTW absolutely love my Huawei Mate 9, best phone I've ever owned and I have owned almost all of them.
I almost bought a Mate 9, but the development there was scarce. Which made me have second thoughts. I'm currently using the Note 5 and was considering a G6 tough at first. I'm interested in seeing what the S8+ have to offer though and will make my decision after the reveal.
i had galaxy S2 then legendary S3 ...and then i switched to Note 4....and i sweared i would never go back to S series from note series.....so i guess either note 8 or i dont know what to buy these days....When Note 4 came out it blow my mind and i said that i must have it and bought it a moment when it came out....Now days i have no idea what my next phone will be :/
I was eagerly waiting for the release of the new Galaxy S phone, sold my S7 Edge like a month ago. I was all hyped and stuff, but even since all the rumours started to show up (no 6 gigs ram, no fingerprint scanner under the front glass (maybe for Note 8), patent for Note 8 dual camera etc.), I became unsure. At this moment i don't even know if i should spend 900 euros on a phone ) I even considered buying a Umidigi Z Pro
