Maybe don't upgrade as often and when you do you'll see a huge upgrade. Coming from the Moto x pure I'm happy to finally have usb-c, fingerprint reader, better IPS rating, better camera, ability to pair to 2 bluetooth devices ect... If you already have the S7 this phone isn't really that much of an improvement. Usually ever 2 years is a good measure if you can wait that long. I went from S3 to S5... From S5 to s6 didn't seem like that much of an improvement so I jumped to Moto x pure before the S7 came out.

The Note 7 was a revolutionary mobile, never owned one like it and it has spoiled me for buying other mobiles. I do hope the Note 8 is as accomplished.

If you have the means then do it.
I am personally more excited for this device than i have been for a long time. When they stole my Note 7 from me, i was angry and hurt and as a way to lash out, i went Apple! Just like so many mistakes made as a youth, it turns out i wasnt hurting anyone but myself. Sadly, there wasnt really another phone out there to go for since i had went from the s7 to the Note 7. Now, im anxious to get back.

I would still have my note 4 now if it did not break and Samsung would not fix it but replaced it with a s7. The screen size it everything for me as I watch everything on it. Sold the new s7 cannot wait for my s8+ 5.1inch way to Small for a top end phone these days
This "review" put a bit of a dampener on things, but being a Note 4 user for the past few years I am probably due an upgrade. Pre-ordered S8+, probably will mean I won't be getting any Note 8 as I have always honored my 2 year contracts since my first S2 "smart phone"

*this review
Coming from the S6 I'm very excited about it, going to get it in a week or less The overall specs updates for me are a reason to upgrade in themselves, the display, and other features that attract S7 owners adding to it.
But honestly speaking, I do feel a bit backstabbed by Samsung. The phone here in Finland cost more here than anywhere else in the world, and I got NO bonuses of any sort with it, while people in other countries are getting free 256gb SD cards and VR headsets. The bonuses aren't anything that I would particularly use, but it feels kind of rude from Samsung that some areas are left out on bonuses completely, while having a higher price than anywhere else.
But nevertheless, I haven't lost a single bit of the hype I had at launch (and for months before it, based on leaks), and I have all reasons to believe that it's going to be an amazing phone. Going to be a long week to wait
Coming from the Nexus 6P, I'm pretty pumped. Last Samsung phone I had was the note 4, note 2 before that and s2. I think I'm more excited for not being able to root again and seeing if I could take it with the s8 plus lol. But overall I'm curious to see how Samsung has progressed over the years.

I'm upgrading from a Note 4 which I got on release day back in 2014. I had a Note 7 on order but it was recalled before I received it.
Really looking forward to the S8+. This is the longest I've ever gone without upgrading my handset.

Same scenario. I didn't even know that the Note 7 was due for release, had searched if Nougat was available for Note 4 as some apps were updating for Android N. Search had showed me that Note 7 was being pre-ordered with Gear VR. I pre-ordered, but was told the VR promotion wasn't available.

Im more curious at this point than excited, curious to see if I will like the aspect ratio or not.
If I like it then I will swap for a exynos device which will hopefully be BL unlocked and have root, twrp etc.
Hard to get excited about a model (snapdragon) that will see never see any of that more than likely.

My s8 plus and my wifes s8 will be here tomorrow. I have rooted since the Q... so while i have played with the s8 and think its a great phone i ha e concerns i will return it for lack of root. I have the note 5 right now because of root. I will keep my note 5 just in case i cant handle not having root. Not overly excited though because of lack of root

Nope. My Legend deserved the rest and I'm loving the Nexus.
I think depending on how much you paid for it. Stateside is pretty good value.. Euro side not so much imo.
Nope, I came from a Moto Atrix... Living with a giant middle finger from Motorola. Used as many custom roms as I could to keep it relevant, but that thing to me was basically treated as DOA. The most expensive, ignored, bastard child of modern smartphones I've ever bought... I paid $1000 for it outright day 1 when I was working in S.Korea. Somewhat ahead of it's time, but treated like garbage.
Will not purchase another Moto phone... which is kind of odd considering I own the godsend from mother Google.
Now if Moto makes a Nexus, not quite sure what I'll do... I've blacklisted Motorola.
Could get a nice deal with Tele2 so went for it.
Cheap subscription, lots of minutes, and a nice phone.

My old phone was a Nexus S, and although that was immense, no i don't regret it.
Had my head turned by the HTC One and if the Moto X was available here that would get a look in, but would still probably go for the N5.
Come from galaxy s4 Did not regret a second of it I should have skipped the s4 and come from the nexus s straight
no regret
I regret not getting a Note 3, but then again I did purchase this device outright at less than 2/3 the price of a Note 3, and there are tremendous amounts of development already available considering how new this device is.
I think I lose and gain some. Battery life however would technically still be better on the Note 3, but I ain't really complaining here since I'm not really getting wakelocks. I do miss the big screen however and the more vibrant display I did gain superb call quality and call volume however

Well, I came from owning a Note 2 for about 8 months. I'd say wait for Note 4. No reason to jump phones so many times so soon. This phone is quite well for the price.

well im elegible for an upgrade now.. And was thinking about getting a phone sell it so i can pay my credit card bill from the nexus 5... But not sure if i should return the nexus and just buy a note 3/s4 which imo will have a better sell price when new phones come out...
I think the nexus will sell used for $200 where the samsungs will probably be around 300-350
Basically for me both of them are the same price...
This is easily the best phone I've ever owned and having stock Android that is not some skinned-and-never-updated crap is a godsend. I've always put ROMs on my other Android phones before but I really don't think I will on this one.
Not one regret at ALL. @ OP why even sign another contract? Wonder how underwater you are with your car loan
good day.
Nope, didn't want to buy a cell phone until next year but my Galaxy Nexus started having issues. Love the Nexus 5 so far!
Yes, I have some regrets. The battery life doesn't feel much better than my GNex and I wish the screen was bigger. Not saying I don't want to keep it, I'm just not sure. Maybe with the right kernel and apps it will be perfect. Or maybe I should've gotten a G2. I just don't know how the ROMs on that would turn out, and I like having wireless charging.
Who wants this amazing device?
Any news on availability?
Will this phone have a screen protector? how should it applied to a curved screen? and most importantly will it get an AOSP Rom? of course a proper which uses the curved screen?
I'm teetering back and forth on what to get. I'll need to see some reviews before I can make an informed decision. With that being said I'm leaning towards the Note 4 at the moment.
I want it badly !!
Worst information, that Edge will be available only in several markets. I've read on sammobile about Singapour, Korea, US, Spain and Australia.
It will be available in the US an all major carriers.
And I'm probably going to get it as long as developer support is there. Even if it's not as prevalent as established devices.
I'm a cutting edge kind of guy and this is definitely my style.
I've been waiting for this device every since the first picture was released but after finding out VR only works with the Note 4, Edge isn't for me anymore.

Me too. I am sure there will be some good pre-launch deals but I would like to get my hands on one first to see if it's suitable, if not definitely the Note 4... but when?!!
I'm still on my Note II and I don't see any good reason to go for the Note 4, but I'd definitely consider the edge simply for it's uniqueness.
But ONLY if it gets rooted and ROM'd.
Speaking of which, someone please tell me the makers of DN3 are working on porting the Note 4's Touchwiz back to Note II! :fingers-crossed:

I think I want the edge too. If nothing else if development is not there, in 6 months I'll just get something else or just live with stock . It just seems too "cutting edge" to pass up. Note 4 is great but a little something different in form would be nice for a change.
I am really leaning towards the Edge, it just looks so cool (yes I'm shallow) and 64gb memory doesn't hurt. I'm going to wait until I can play with both phones, though. I'm not in a big hurry, my Note 2 is still going strong. Rather take some time to make my choice.
I want one badly but I'm afraid Samsung won't release a Dev. Edition Edge for us Verizon guys.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to choose between a Dev. Edition Note 4 or a locked Note Edge :crying:
I want one to but it's being said around other sites that it going to cost us almost a $1000.00. What are your thoughts.
Potentially Unique and Useful Device
I too have a Note II and it is great device. I'll probably get an Edge on Sprint contract if the price is not ridiculous. If it is, I'll probably seriously consider the IPhone 6 Phablet. The Edge has the opportunity to be a truly unique device with the help of XDA Developers.
I definitely will buy one, it s soooo sexy!!

I'm definitely buying one BUT I won't get one of the first shipment of orders, I'll wait until the xda development is established because I already know that the AT&T version will have a locked bootloader.

I love the new technology. I to wonder how much support there will be for the device The fact that the powerful specs of the Note 4 are under the hood are even a more compelling reason to grab this device.
I think the Note Edge will be great, but theoretically it should slightly underperform compared with the Note 4 because a single processor will be powering 2 screens.
I will most likely buy this device... (I am a hardcore **** Galaxy Note Fan... but... but...
I will buy the Galaxy Note 4 first for sure (first day it hits the store, without doubt... same as I did with Note 2 & Note 3... got Note 1 after about 2 months it was released)... (T-Mo Version) because it will most likely have root, unlocked bootloader and all the things we all love... and... then when the Edge comes... I will wait a week or 2... as soon as I see that it can be rooted and some dev support... I will end up buying this one too... have them both coexist for a month more or less and see how things go with each device... (development support, roms, etc...) and after a month maybe 2... will finally decide who is the lucky winner... (the looser... I will sell on ebay)
that's my story...
after seeing a video review of the Note Edge, i'm not so sure about it anymore for one main reason - one handed use. because of the screen on the right side, apparently its very difficult to use with your right hand without accidentally activating and/or pressing something on that screen. I'm a heavy one-handed/right-handed user on all my phones and this is a big deal.
I guess I'll have to get used to using both hands (of course its required when it comes to using the stylus)
Hello guys I just wanted to get a better feel of how everyone else feels right now and in particular to the Galaxy S7 as well as s7 Edge on T-Mobile having a locked bootloader making root extremely difficult to get if not impossible. This was upsetting to me not because I wanted the S7 and S7 Edge but because this set a precedent for the Note 6 which is not yet released. I started my Journey with a Galaxy Note 2 and loved them ever since. I have very large hands so I definitely needed a large phone and I really quite liked the size and features. I then got the Note 4 and was certainly happy with it for over a year. I usually only hold onto phones for a short while but that phone did pretty much everything for me so I held onto it a while. Samsung announced the Note 5 and I decided to pass due to no more SD Card so I now needed to opt for at least 64gb and no IR blaster. So I decided I wouldn’t be getting that and would look at other options. I began my hunt and ultimately one of the few phones that met my standards was the Nexus 6P since it had a 5.7-inch screen which was Amoled and had a very good camera and I decided to try out stock Android since everyone always raves of its speed and updates. Plus, root on the 6P would be easy.
Anyway the 6P has been doing fine but the battery does leave a lot to be desired (I feel touchwiz does very well with its battery optimizations). Camera is also slightly better due to speed and manual controls as well as screen brightness. The next phone on my radar is the Note 6 but with the no root precedent I’m fairly concerned. To sum it up I feel we don’t have many 5.7 inch or larger phone options out there and was wondering what devices will you guys be looking at as Note competitors especially if the new Note 6 from, T-Mobile cant be rooted? It seems manufacturers like LG and HTC are not really coming out with Note competitors and if they do they are basterdized in some fashion (like lower specs and cameras). Just makes you wonder if they are not interested in the market.
Well, from what I know lg is doing seem. V10 just got an update that apparently locked down the phone. Can't even go down to lollipop if you took the MM update...I will say you should hold onto that nexus, rest of the flashaholics and root lovers will join you soon. Lol
But to answer original post, yes that is now the norm going forward.

This will be really sad if so. Nexus devices are fine but sometimes dont bring all the best features. If the phone is less than 5.7 inches and no Amoled its a non start for me. Liked the HTC 10 but 5.2 inch screen is no go for me lol.

Note 6 will be locked down.
Supposedly 2 possible safe note 7's have went up in smoke and flames. I have also read that the major carriers in the US will be allowing exchanges of the now safe note 7's for something else.
Well if this is the case, what other options are on par with the note 7? Im thinking S7 edge or God forbid i go to an Iphone 7 plus. What are you guys looking at just in case or will you roll the dice and take your chances?

I just exchanged my Note 7 for the s7 edge at Sprint. I was having Bluetooth issues like others and didn't want to get stuck with the phone for another 2 years. Only crappy thing is since Best Buy wouldn't accept the phone since it's over the 14 day return policy I had to go through Sprint and they did an even swap out so technically I lost $100 since the s7 edge is less money but oh well. I'll grab another 256gb micro SD card and try to make my $100 back.

I just exchanged my Note 7 for the s7 edge at Sprint. I was having Bluetooth issues like others and didn't want to get stuck with the phone for another 2 years. Only crappy thing is since Best Buy wouldn't accept the phone since it's over the 14 day return policy I had to go through Sprint and they did an even swap out so technically I lost $100 since the s7 edge is less money but oh well. I'll grab another 256gb micro SD card and try to make my $100 back.

I thought sprint said they would do a full refund? Or exchange and give you the difference back?

They would but only if it was purchased through Sprint. Mine was purchased through Best Buy and Best Buy wouldn't help me at all since I was outside the 14 day return window for my "safe version 2" Note 7. Really Sprint shouldn't have let me swap out the phone but I found a manager at one of my local Sprint stores who was cool and he didn't stress where I purchased it so I lucked out.

I've got 4 days until my 14 return window with best buy is over and I'm not sure what I want to do. I love this device and downgrading to a 7 edge would be something I do not want to do, and there's really no other device that sprint has that I want right now. I guess if forced I'd go to an htc 10 simply because it's got root already and decent developer support, but I'd still be upset with having to give my note up, I love it.
The note 7 is dead. If there is a recall, I highly doubt we'll be getting another Note 7...

I'm thinking of doing the same.
The S8 will be rushed to try to put this blunder behind them and the Note 8 will probably be the greatest phone ever created in an effort to erease the past.

The s7 edge is only a "downgrade" if your set on having the S-Pen. I loved having the pen to create goofy pictures now and then but it's not a big deal. All the specs are the same with better battery life on the edge. I liked the idea of the Iris scanner but never really used it. Really the only thing I miss is the newer version of Always on display but I'm sure the edge will get it shortly.

It's only got gorilla glass 4 and and half the storage capacity, it is a downgrade, and one I definitely don't want. If I wanted a 7 edge, I'd have had one months ago. Now I'm forced to make a choice I really don't want to make. I really hope they don't scrap the note 7 entirely

Supposedly 2 possible safe note 7's have went up in smoke and flames. I have also read that the major carriers in the US will be allowing exchanges of the now safe note 7's for something else.
Well if this is the case, what other options are on par with the note 7? Im thinking S7 edge or God forbid i go to an Iphone 7 plus. What are you guys looking at just in case or will you roll the dice and take your chances?

This is my first Note, coming from the S6 and I am totally disappointed with all the negative media. I had no problems with the first and none, so far, with the replaced Note 7. There is no other phone that I want right now, so if forced, I'll get a refund and go back to my S6 and wait on the S8... I still have my Nexus 6P on Google Fi.

If I hadn't given my g3 to my dad when I upgraded I would do the same and wait, but I can't now, I need a phone, so I just feel like I'm going to get stuck for two years with a device I don't really want. It sucks.

It may sound crazy, but I haven't used my "upgrade" from Sprint for years. I usually by the phone outright from someone else, which was the case the with first one. That way, I'm not stuck. I usually use PayPal Credit, so no large upfront money put out.

Well, looks like Best Buy will have to take it back, now. I'm glad I took action when Sprint first offered exchanges for the replacement. Beat the rush.

I have Note 4 also. I dont want to go down in screen size as I like it, The S Pen is nice but I so seldom use it anymore, I am looking at the G6 too, but am holding off to see what the S8+ actually brings as I want more battery in my next phone and a camera that can focus faster LOL.

Yep im thinking of s8+ lol

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
