So I just left a Verizon store where they had a Note 7 demo setup. I think I'm kinda concerned about the scratch protection that the Gorrilla glass 5 offers at this point. There were a ton of pretty deep scratches on the unit even though it has to be fairly new. I could even feel them with my fingernail they were so deep. None of the other Gorilla glass 4 devices have any scratches that were very noticeable.

I know that Gorilla glass 5 is supposed to be more drop proof, but after seeing the display model I'm starting to wonder why they haven't mentioned anything about the scratch resistance it offers. Does anyone have any incite?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jfree3000:
I wouldn't worry about that too much, it's a demo unit that gets abused by a lot of people. Think about the random kids in stores that touch every phone while their parents shop. No phone is scratch proof but again it's a demo unit, don't sweat it.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BarryH_GEG:
They have. ;)
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jal3223:
Nice, good find.

I'm just really thinking that they are going the same route as the Turbo 2 with an almost plastic type build to keep it from breaking as they are really pushing the drop resistance. I guess we will see very soon.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] durandetto:
That's why I'm going with the wet application tpu screen protector for now. Hopefully they will come out with a good tempered glass screen soon. That's my only complaint switching to the note 7.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rodnii:
Does anyone know if there is clear plastic or glass over the flash/HR monitor? I remember finding a random scratch on my S7e on day 2 around the HR monitor and it annoyed the hell out of me. I didn't realize it was cheapo plastic D: I've had a piece of tape clear tape over it ever since, as well as a black dbrand skin on the camera lens to protect it.

And is the camera lens Gorilla Glass 5, or is it regular glass?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jal3223:
After seeing a few different demo units I can confirm that the Note 7 always has the deepest and most scratches of the Galaxy family with prior Gorilla glass. So I'm not so sure it's just from being a demo unit. If that was the case all of the phones that have been there much longer would all look like sandpaper was used on them as well.

I'm just trying to giving people that haven't saw one in person the heads up. I think this Gorrilla glass 5 is plastic at this point. I hope I'm wrong because I really want this phone. However the fact that Samsung has made it almost impossible to use a screen protector and has chosen a seemingly less scratch resistant glass has me concerned.

Hello everyone!

I have a question about the default dpi for the Note 7.

The Note 5 had a lower default dpi "560" than the S7 and S7 edge which I believe is 640 default.

With Samsungs marshmallow update users can get to a setting and change the dpi to "condensed".

This setting scales down the dpi even more.

Does anyone know if the Note 7 has a lower default dpi than the S7 edge and if the "condensed" setting exists in the settings menu?

Here is a link for the setting I'm talking about:

I am in India, if I get N7 from Dubai, will it be region locked? Someone is wiling to get it for me but I don't him to open the box and use the phone for 5 minutes to unlock it. Also, if I get one from there, will I get OTA updates? Will volte work?

I have to admit Im counting the days until Aug 2nd to see what sammy drops.

The note 5 was kind of a flop..nothing really earth shattering to set it apart from the S6 and removing the SD card was a huge disappointment.

I bought one anyway of course once I saw the titanium silver one in person but i hope they go all out this year

They will do bogo sales in USA. Just like they did with the S7 Edge.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jfree3000:
If they do a bogo the wife and I will get one, my iphone 6s plus is locked down with no jailbreak in site and being my first iphone every I am extremely disappointed with lack of jailbreak. Even if it happens you are stuck on that jailbreak and apple is rolling out updates like crazy making jail breaking seemingly impossible. Wonder if Samsung will have a new vr promo with a new style headset with the new usb connection.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Towle:
They might do the BOGO deal, but you still need the extra grand up front and an additional line of service with data. If this device really ends up being $950, I'm done with Samsung. I like the Notes, but they're not worth $1,000 IMO.

I have the s7-edge and if not was for the battery and camera i already has sell it.

I don't use the edge for nothing.

Driving or in bed its almost impossible to hold in one hand. And i have i case or else its impossible to hold.

The frame is so thin im always touching the screen because i have big hands.

Note 4 is what I see my movies its better screen.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Then why you bought it in first place ? You should have bought the note 5 or 'normal' S7
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
Note 5 don't come to Europe, and like don't like small screen.

And battery last almost twice that my note 4.

Does anyone have an idea as to if it will have an infrared scanner as this is very important to me
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] CB620:
There will be root.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AKW:
You're sure? If you don't mind me asking, how?

Sure the S7 got root, but most people who rooted reverted back to stock after a few days due to the battery drain and lag. If we do get root on the Note 7, I'm hoping it's a legit, unlocked BL root. Honestly not a deal-breaker for me, but it would be oh so sweet.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheUndertaker21:
it will be locked like the S7/EDGE

i'd pass

first note i won't buy. I won't miss the note series since i had hard time with my note 5 anyway.

no exynos or locked bootloader crap for me
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
This phone looks like a HUGE step up from the Note 5. Not sure why people think it's boring? I'm a Note 5 user and cannot wait. Bigger battery and expandable memory is already exciting, then add in the dust/water resistance, iris scanner, USB-C, faster processor, more RAM (maybe?), new software, potential Gorilla Glass 5 and the slick looks... Yes please. I'm selling MY Note 5 and using the money to pay monthly. That'll easily cover me a year until my upgrade and then my bill drops $20 a month with the Verizon Plan. Man I hope they do BOGO at Verizon. Did they for the Edge or was that only other companies?

By the way, looks like no pre-order until August 2nd... I mean, it's a week away tomorrow. I'd think it'd be happening already. I'm guessing they release August 9th or 16th. Ugh.

Augh, currently rocking my Note 3. It's still running now that I just flashed it back to Tmo stock. I'm so torn between the OnePlus 3 for cost, Note 7 for specs (no go at all if only edge versions), or waiting for the next Nexus.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] chipworkz:
I am looking forward to the 2nd to see the official release. I was thinking I would move to the Nexus line after I returned my S7 Edge since it was locked but the leaks for the Nexus phones aren't doing anything for me. The Note 7 is the only phone that I have gotten excited about. The only downside is I know it is going to be locked down just like the S7. I also understand the reason for it but at the same time, think they should allow people to unlock it if they choose so.

The S7 was a surprise as far as being locked on T-Mobile since this was not the norm. But knowing what we know about the S7 now, I would not buy this phone expecting it to be or get unlocked down the road. I have been on a custom rom since my Droid X but Android has improved so much that I am getting a little tired of flashing custom roms. The only real reason I want root at this point is for Viper. I have been running stock unrooted for about 3 weeks now and the only thing I miss is Viper.

So if all the rumors are true, this is going to be a pretty nice phone. As long as you can live with a locked phone, it should be a nice upgrade from the Note 5. I am most likely getting it and will wait to see what deals T-Mobile has with them. I know the BOGO is pretty much a for sure thing but got the year of Netflix and VR with the S7 Edge so I hope they have something like that this time too.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TechBSwift:
If this is true it's pointless to upgrade yes I the note 7 from an s7 edge... Basically you get the pen and iris and that's it. You lose 100mah of battery and it has the same size screen. Yes usb c is cool on my nexus, but I mostly use wireless charging on my s7 edge. This sucks I was looking forward to this phone. And no development, guess I'll wait for the next nexus

I agree with you if it wasn't for the battery I would have gotten rid of this phone (s7 edge) a while back. I find the edge useless I haven't used it at all and holding the phone I can count numerous times holding it in bed and dropping it on my face lol

How confident are you guys in the Gorilla Glass 5 being there? I thought GG5 was too new, but maybe Samsung has the inside connection. Also does anyone know if the back of the phone will also be GG5? I'm not sure if the back of my Note 5 was GG4 or not, but I do know that carrying it naked for months there is not a single scratch or blemish on it.

Probably they will be implementing the new "Grace TouchWiz UX" as an overhaul update for the current Touchwiz for Note 7.

Will the Note 7 read txt messages over bluetooth? I have to use 3rd party apps that almost work as good. I don't understand why that feature was removed for the Note 5. I also want an unlocked bootloader. How long do you think we will have to wait for AT&T to release N to the Note 7 based on the M craziness?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nviz22:
Yikes, those specs are overwhelmingly disappointing. Just to add, the asking price will be $800 USD or something similar to the Note 5 and other predecessors. Don't get me wrong, the S7 is a lovely device with great specs.

I am in the territory of $800 USD is too much for any phone. $1029 CAD for an iPhone 6S Plus is extremely difficult for people to pay the currency is struggling. I just snagged a S7 brand new for $500 USD, so I am glad I am not missing out on much besides a bigger screen, slightly bigger battery, S-Pen, Iris Scanner, etc.

The Axon 7 and OP3 offer great experiences for cheaper prices if you can look past a few software differences. What Samsung offers is still worthwhile: Samsung Pay, Touchwiz features, AOD, etc.

For those who buy the Note because it's a top notch phone, I hope you truly enjoy it.

This is incorrect, I have a friend who is super high up in Samsung USA. He advised Samsung is pulling the same bs as Apple and saving all the new worth while features and old features for next year's release to compete with Apple. If my boy comes through I should have the note 7 in hand on August 2nd our third. He advised the list of possible features for next year's release is a page long. Let's hope next year is the year of Samsung folding phones
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] chipworkz:
What now we are going back to flip phones? Isn't that a step backwards? :D

I don't feel let down by what the rumors say this phone is going to be. I have the Note 5 and this still feels like a nice upgrade if everything is true. People are always going to be unhappy and one thing or another, it is just the way it is. Personally I just don't see anything else out there that I would want over my Note 5 except this phone as long as it is what it sounds like it will be. If the rumors for the next Nexus phone was going to be bigger than a 5.5" screen then I would lean more towards waiting to see what it is but I really want a 5.7" to 6" screen.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Can your friend confirm one device only with the edge screen or one edge version and one flat version?

Been alot of rumours both ways lol....
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] shyam09:
Yeah even I was thinking that and debating if I want to get the Note 7 or get an S7E and wait till next year to get the Note. It makes no sense for Samsung to make a killer product when next year Apple will be redesigning their iPhone.

The thing with Samsung is that most of their features are gimmicky. I hate to bring in the Apple example, but Apple really puts some thought into some of the features they bring in while Samsung just throws it out and sees how we react. Not necessarily a bad thing per se, but the list of features that's a page long might very well include some gimmicky, pointless features like blow to turn on your phone (or clap to activate camera when screen is off). Fun for the first few days, and then you'll probably end up forgetting about it.

This year - it's the specs that really matter to me. I'm going back and forth with getting an Exynos S7E or the Note 7; I might very well just settle with the S7E and wait till the Note 8 releases. The S-Pen isn't a necessary feature for me; back when I had the Note 3 I did use it on occasions, but not every day / every week. Though the bigger screen would be nice ... August 2nd, come quick so I can decide ...
