Depends on the carrier. T-Mobile for example does not have any contracts so the cost of the phone is spread out over 24 payments interest free. Basically it is a free loan, and if you want to leave them, you just have to pay off the balance. So basically it is the same as buying it outright like you are doing, except you get to make interest off your own money while only paying them the monthly payment.

But you are limited to the models they supply so the International model is not available by doing this. This is the boat I am in and if I get the Note 7, they will be paying off my Note 5 since I am on the original Jump program.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
If you buy from sammy here in toronto the phones will lock when you put your sim in but they come with an unlock code to then unlock lol.

Kinda stupid but i assume its some kind of agreement with the carriers here.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tungsten c:
I wonder if it is a universal code for sprint phones ?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] HotShotAzn:
Unlocked for carrier or bootloader unlocked? I would think yes to both questions but yes to the first for sure.

You're lucky. AT&T and Verizon have both checked root before warranty exchanges. Ask me how I know. T-Mobile doesn't really care.

Samsung Pay is not for a customer like you then. (Its not for a customer like me either, but there is a target market).

For Sprint specifically? Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but it used to be that all CDMA carriers need to have the phone's IMEI/ESN loaded into their db's for it to work. It is not like other GSM phones where you put the SIM in and poof! it works.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tungsten c:
Very good explanation. Thanks

3500mah battery is bull****.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] CB620:
Same thing every release with the Note series. Devices will always ship early. Launch event is on the 2nd, most likely pre-orders will open same day. You order and pick overnight shipping. Your device will ship within a couple days. The OFFICIAL date will be a week or a week and a half after the 2nd but most people will have their device before in store release.

I just looked at my device history and i had my Note 5 on Aug 15th so somewhere around that time we will have it. T-MOBILE...can't speak for any other carrier.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bill340:

This is underwhelming to say the least.

http://goo.gl/v5AOqh

The full Samsung Galaxy Note 7 specs have leaked along with details of the new USB Type-C Gear VR headset and new renders.

Basically the same specs as the S7 with a slightly smaller battery. 4gb of ram? Granted it should be enough but it's 850€ that's about 1200$ CAN for me. That's RIDICULOUS! The OnePlus 3 has 6gb of ram for less than half the price. Not sure if it's actually an upgrade from the s7 edge.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2crueal4u:
Wow...that's not good..but want it still...and it's bigger battery then note 5.....?

Rest of specs is not so important as the battery for me

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
The selling point for me is ext sd support despite other things being just okay.

This 64gb if internal storage is terrible and I will be happy to get rid if this note 5 lol.

I will admit it is a bad move on sammys part to equip their flagship "business" device with a smaller battery (even if by a little) than the S7 edge...that makes no sense

Sent from my Note 5, Nexus 6P or S6
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
I hear that. Especially if UFS storage is implemented. Adoptable storage will probably materialize. Not sure it's worth 1200$ though. That's all I'm saying.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Yep, its not cheap neither was the note 5.

Especially when you have a device like the axon 7 which is only $500 and has stereo speakers.

If that had a bigger screen and an unlocked bootloader Im not sure if Id even be considering a note 7 at this point as Id already have ordered the axon

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Yup! Got a oneplus 3 right now. Cost me 533$ CAN tax in. Dual SIM, 6gb of Ram. Roms galore. It NEVER lags. I'll get the note 7 regardless but I'm not sure that it's worth it tbh.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] CB620:
there is always a dual version.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TechBSwift:
I got to play with the note 7 today!!!! I can't go into to many details without getting my friend in trouble. For those tripping about the non flat model, stop worrying. No there will not be a flat model, however the flatten the note 7 out more so I think it will be much easier for companies to make glass screen protectors. I didn't get to test out iris, but I can tell you vs the s7 edge it's not a huge advantage. The UI seemed very smooth, I know you will scream at me but I didn't check the CPU model. If I had to guess it was the international model because I didn't see any carrier bloatware. I'm shocked how thin this damn phone is... Seriously though it's super thin. Again I can't answer a lot of questions as I only had it for 20 minutes. I will buy one on day one for sure, but in the end I see myself keeping my s7 edge and selling the note 7 due to root. I love adaway........
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
How is the bezels and the edges, its easy to hold or worse than s7 edge, if you say its super thin , its worse than s7-edge , how can we hold the phone without touching the edge.

If there is no flat one. I will not upgrade.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TechBSwift:
The phone is a little wider than the s7 edge, but thinner. I'm assuming you have a case on it it will feel fine in the hand. The bezels are about the same as the s7 edge. It really should be called the note 5se lol
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
Yes i have a case or it will be impossible to use.

But with edge makes impossible to write with one hand and the note will be worse.

With note 4 i can write perfectly because i can reach longer with the finger because it's flat.

Lets see in 2nd August.

Many thanks for your feedback.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mardukeme:
Nice to know was worried about the edge. Also I was worried about root, and using Adaway. Started using PIA Vpn, which now has an option to block ads when connected to the VPN without root. So don't really care much about root.

Might wait for the unlocked US version instead of getting a carrier version.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] thvoicwethin:
This is hurting me to read through this thread. I was hoping for a nice jump versus the S7E with battery life. I could care less about an iris scanner and IP68 waterproof. My phones have never seen water except rain on occasion and even then my phones have never had an issue. I had the Note 2 (the 2nd phone I've ever owned the longest, I go through phones every 3-4mo, my LG G3 being the longest time I've ever had the same model) and loved it. I swore I would never go back to LG, but the G3 is still phenomenal in my eyes.

It looks like I may have to look at the Axon 7 or the OP3, although even those don't have some features that I would like, it looks like I may have to settle with the latter. BUT, there is always the Aug 2 event, in which I'm not getting my hopes up about.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TechBSwift:
Again, for one that has a device prior to the s7/edge this is a huge upgrade, but for the those who have an s7 this is meh... I will but one on day one for my YouTube channel, but I'm not pumped about this device. If I had top guess they are holding back until next year top compete with Apple's 10th anniversary iphones
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Victor285:
I think I have my expectations too high for this phone I have the S7 Edge and it's a great phone but I'm expecting much more from the Note 7 which I know I won't get. I have cases and a screen protector ready for this phone hopefully everything changes on the 19th
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Judging something before its release...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
From all accounts the note is an S7 edge with a less pronounced edge, slightly bigger screen and Spen.

Oh and a smaller battery by a little bit

Same everything else...just like last year with the S6.. with some small software additions that many of us dont care about.

Samsung is so lazy...the note 7 should have an updated processor,cameras, more ram etc etc.

The S7 has been out since march and they just basically are repeating the same thing from 6 mos ago.

Again.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Yeah but you're comparing the note 7 to the s7 when you should be comparing it to the note 5. That's not fair in a way.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
No thats exactly what i intended.

In years past sammy would launch the S device in the spring with certain hardware then the note would launch in the fall with upgraded cpu, camera etc. They always one upped the S device as the note is supposed to be the flagship.

Now its just the same device with tiny differences. In the mobile phone world 6 mos is an eternity...Im sure there are improvements which could be on the note but they dont bother.

They have become apple in many ways...

Just bugs me is all.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
You're 100% right. I think that the number strategy has a lot to do with that. Until the note 5, the note always gave us a preview of the next s series. To some the flagship was the s and to some the note. Now I think samsung picked their pony. They're also under the impression that the people who buy s series phones and notes are 2 different types of people. And that kind of explains the note 7.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Exactly,the Note series was before the best Samsung gives every year, but now they are focusing on the S series.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TechBSwift:
Heres what you have to understand... Samsung releases two flagship phones a year. Technology doesn't move that fast, nor do they want to blow their load all in one year. Also they have to think about the future, if they make the note 7 king of all phones this year, they will have nothing to show off next year and they will lose sells to competitors. Most people don't upgrade their phone every six months, so this is actually a nice upgrade for many. I will say the curve on the note 7 is better than the s7 edge, but you still will have the glare in the sun. However the curve doesn't really impact using the spen. Tomorrow is the big day
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
I have been searching for Galaxy Note 7 on YouTube and filtering it to today only and came across this video. It's in German so idk what he's saying but I'm pretty sure it's the Note 7. https://youtu.be/xHWtHjigyg0
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
As mentioned, they didnt have a problem making the note the king up to last year.

They just decided to rest on their laurels and success.

The way things are going now with devices like the axon 7, zenfone 3 deluxe and even OP3 thats going to but them in the rear.

Same performance and many features on par (and some better like front facing stereo speakers) for half the cost.

Sammy better pull their heads out of their rear ends and wake up.

We expect more than a half ass upgrade from S device to note.

Now dont get it twisted, Im a die hard sammy fan boy having bought a new note and S device every year since the S3 and Note 3.

But they are getting lazy and its pissing people off.

Id be elated if its true and they didnt have an edge only version since I hate it lol

The Galaxy Note 7 has 4GB of RAM like the Galaxy Note 5, but on the storage front we get 64GB out of the box and microSD expansion (there might even be a 32GB variant for some markets.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Well...better buy the S7 edge which is cheaper and almost the same...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
How it feels in the hand?

It seems the back is flat or not.?

And yes is a s7-edge with spen.

I will not upgrade from s7 edge.

Not with less battery.

If it cames with 4000 maybe

Not with 3500.

Samsung ate crazy. At least 6g ram.

S7-edge have 4g and free 1.2, i touch in huawei p9lite have 3g and 2g free.

So Samsung 4g is not enough.

Is the 800 USD confirmed???? I wonder if the bootloader is locked like the s7edge?

Waiting six months for root is unsettling That's a ton of money for a device that can't be rooted and no custom roms .

Anyone with info on why no processor bump (alleged 821) was included? This is basically a s7edge with less battery and the iris scanner.

Id like to replace my note 4/v10 due to speed...but looks like the LG v20 is the best device coming out.

That 256mb SD card gift is very tempting though.

Just got the device. Can confirm any questions or doubts anyone has.

No IR blaster.

IRIS scanner is amazingly fast and it's way faster and more convenient than fingerprint.

IRIS Scanner demos are not around as the initial training samples and store live demo units doesn't have this option. That's why nobody talks about it. But I can confirm, It's Faster than unlocking by fingerprint.

Battery is 3500 mah, too early to say anything.

USB-C Charger gets a bit hot after charging, Let's see that on the long run.

Camera is the same as S7 Edge, Nothing better at first sight.
