[Note 7 Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the Samsung Galaxy Note 7's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Note 7 Real Life Review] winol:
I find the low light capabilities amazing! no more red eyes!

it is incredible how the photos look better than what you see with your naked eyes! absolutely happy with my note 7 !
[Note 7 Real Life Review] AdrianR2016:
That's right. The camera is amazing.

I know that this was addressed before, but after searching LITERALLY for about 30 minutes I cant find the registry edit needed to make the email tab in HTC Home default to Outlook (and not whatever the last previously used messaging program was). Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Doug2873:
bump, someone please reply
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Doug2873:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] roboHaxx:
I recall this being discussed quite a bit in the Hermes forum, and my conclusion was that the email icon has a mind of it's own and is not controllable by any reg settings or xml file. On my Hermes, it would always open the last one I used, but on the Tilt (with a later build of HTC Home) I always get the 'select an account' screen.

no matter, use the hard button for messaging. easier to hit without the stylus anyway. just keep hitting the button to cycle through your messaging accounts.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] roboHaxx:
while looking for something else, i stumbled on this tidbit...

When I press the Email button on the "Home" tab, it takes me to my MMS/SMS messages. How can I fix this?

This is a known issue with the HTC Home Plugin. The workaround is to create a POP account on your device, then press the Email button again. It should now take you to your email messages. You can then remove the POP account if unneeded.

10 - Photos are great! No complaints here!

Example.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] radioraheem2:
i've been testing the Note 7 camera side by side with the OnePlus 3 and Xiaomi MI 5 and Huawei P9 cameras, and while the Note 7 is slightly better, it's just very, very slightly, and it's mostly in low light setting. i don't see much difference in day time shots. i think in 2016, all smartphone cameras are pretty damn legit. so all these tech reviewers saying the Note 7 has "hands down the best camera by far", i don't agree with them. (it's worth keeping in mind all those other phones i mentioned cost literally HALF AS MUCH as the note 7)
[Note 7 Real Life Review] jasenko:
I think I can safely retire my Sony NEX-6 now for majority of uses. The photos coming out of this camera are amazing.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] NIKKOTUASON:
Amazing even compared to my Fuji X T1.

[Note 7 Real Life Review] meboy:
S6 and S7 had white balance/colour temperature issues indoors.

Also overexposure.

S7 was noticeably soft in any conditions.

Does the Note 7 fix any of those?

Waiting to see way more side by side reviews.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] pete4k:
I had no problem with indoor white balance under LED, but since you can have so many different variants in lightning I don't think there is a camera that would do it right all the time in auto mode, but you can switch to manual WB if you want.

overexposure, sure if you really work hard on it, like shoot from inside tunel against sun, but you can use spot meter in tricky light condition to keep what you need properly exposed, but auto works fine most of the time for me.

soft in any condition: are you talking about selfie cam? Because yes, that has fixed focus and will be soft, but rear cam doesn't seem soft when properly focused and again you have control where it should be focus on.

Have you actually used any of those cams, or just read about it somewhere, because I haven't so couldn't compare.

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

Can OnePlus3, MI5 or P9 do underwater photography? Because I'm planning to, this weekend with N7.

Do any of those have something similar to s-pen? Because I use it everyday can't live without it and it would be nice to have other options.

Can I see the screen on other phones with sun shining directly on it? Because so far Note7 is the only screen I've seen that I have no problem seeing in full sun. But I haven't try any of the ones you mentioned.

And very very slightly better, so it is actually better?

Maybe there are reasons why N7 is more expensive, otherwise nobody would buy it? And with the discounts, free giveaways etc. maybe N7 is not as expensive as it first seem.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] radioraheem2:
The camera is slightly better. Here are photos to prove it (http://www.forbes.com/sites/bensin/...better-photos-than-far-cheaper-chinese-phones)

Of all the other bonus note features you mentioned, waterproofing is the only real universal useful feature that everyone would want. Hundreds of millions of people use a phone without a stylus and they couldn't care less. Plenty of people use the one plus 3 outdoors and sees the screen fine.

Using note 7's sales numberse to show the phone's supposed superiority is also a flawed argument, since a lot of that is branding and name recognition. It's like saying nike shoes are for sure the best because they sell the most.

I'm not really bashing the note 7 here, I have the phone and I like it a lot, I'm merely saying it's probably not worth more than double the price of the one plus 3, that's all I'm saying. 450 dollars more is not a small deal. 450 bucks can buy a lot, a lot of things.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] fastredponycar:
It's tough to use the note front cam after using the 6P. The front cam on the 6P is an absolute monster, typically producing photos nearly as good as the REAR camera on my wife's iphone 6.

Vs the note 7 and S7e, the selfie cam pics are noticeably much less sharp and focused. A quick google search for blurry selfie pics for the Galaxy 7 devices yields countless forums of people complaining about this.

No idea if it's the software or the actual hardware that is the problem but it's absolutely there.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] YILMAZ88:
I am totally satisfied with the camera. (considering s4 and zenfone 2 were my previous devices.) I guess note 7 will be enough to handle daily shots for even business purposes. Any questions?
[Note 7 Real Life Review] SiNJiN76:
So, what's the difference between Bokeh (on the new iphone 7...after a software update) and what our phones do now....where the background is blurry?
[Note 7 Real Life Review] AdrianR2016:
I confirm that the camera is perfect. I have Exynos version
[Note 7 Real Life Review] almaraas:
I'm satisfied
[Note 7 Real Life Review] zigmuntfavello:
saturation and colors are great but oversharped a bit on my opinion
[Note 7 Real Life Review] eukleklein:
I think all photos a "yellow-ish" a bit and expose are too high in some difficult scenarios like front sun etc
[Note 7 Real Life Review] bthoven:
If Samsung can decrease/eliminate the oversharpening part, it will be a perfect camera here.

Video quality is AMAZING but what is the point of having the best camera if you can't send it to your peers (most with iPhones) without being 56k quality videos?

And it's near impossible to get someone to download a 3rd party app that adds memory space to another person's phone only for them to cater to an android trying to reclaim how great your phone camera is

Horrible amount of lens distortion
[Note 7 Real Life Review] easy_toast:
And before complaining, I'm assuming you've turned on the big "remove lens distortion" option, correct?
[Note 7 Real Life Review] musicconnect:
Just posted about this in another thread. Arm stretched out, the pics look great. But up close it's the most distorted and disturbing image ever. HORRIBLE implementation by Samsung.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] AdrianR2016:
It has a lens distorsion
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Braca Ganon:
Where is the lens distortions setting on front camera... I don't see it or I'm blind
[Note 7 Real Life Review] travisw0204:
Did you try using the front flash for the selfie?

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

Its called Shape Correction. Well at least that's what it is called on my Sprint variant.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] ronattack:
worst selfie camera ever with the distortion, lack of sharpness, and terrible quality
[Note 7 Real Life Review] ittybittyfds:
shape correction is off by default on Sprint version

I broke the camera when I took a selfie :D No seriously, stop taking selfies, look in a mirror :D
[Note 7 Real Life Review] whoofit:
My camera is broken. It makes me look too good.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] fastredponycar:
Not a sharp/crisp image at all. No idea what the auto focus is looking at but it's not me. I tried turning off HDR, all the effects, etc and just never could get anything NEAR as clean as what my 6P produces with great consistency.

Check out this side by side. The difference is staggering. 6P is not as bright but way too much post processing being done.

Mine can be slow to show the image captured in gallery.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] pete4k:
I just compared my Note 7 to my friends S7, both take picture almost instantly and then it takes about 1 sec to process and display for review (if you have that option turned on). Or you can keep button pressed and keep taking pictures, probably burst of 10 pics sec, maybe more. All this is on a par or better than my dedicated DSLR. The 1 sec review delay is completely irrelevant IMO to picture taking process and I may even turn it off at some point. I have no visible delay accessing pictures from gallery (but only 50 pics taken, there maybe slow down when I get thousands). If somebody complains about Note 7 camera, I think there maybe something wrong with their particular unit. Just to make sure: this is for rear mounted cam, I took 1 pic. with selfie cam, just to test it works and that just about as much usage as it will see. But just for the fact that it has fixed focus lens (I think), I wouldn't expect much from it.

As far as gallery goes, I don't like the way it sorts pics from all folders together, by date and can we finally have option to display names? Finding right video without name is sometimes impossible, but thankfully there is dedicated video gallery on Samsung website which solves that issue, but why not have just one gallery that works right.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] AdrianR2016:
That's right. It is an amazing phone. I have Exynos version.

Super fast
[Note 7 Real Life Review] 6666:
Mine seems much slower than my s6 edge+. Both on their included factory chargers the s6 was much faster
[Note 7 Real Life Review] robstunner:
The Note 7 has 500mah more of battery. They charge the same speed, the Note 7 just has more battery to fill.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] XavierAD:
It seems to always finish charging before the estimated time
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Birdsfan:
My Nexus 6p charges quicker using OEM chargers for both
[Note 7 Real Life Review] matsuyamakaze:
I noticed mine went from 17 percent to 28 percent in 5 to 10 minutes. 0 to 100 is a breeze compared to my note 3. I use to hate waiting so id swap batteries from one note to the other I have 2, run one down swap it charge the other in the other device. Still would take 2 hours.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] flintston314:
The note 7 charges a hell lot slower than my note 5. I know the N7 has a bigger battery, while it took me 2h to reload my N5 (qi charger) it now takes a good 3.5h.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Aimara:
with the current news going on ,if your set is not exchanged , might be wise not to use fast charging mode
[Note 7 Real Life Review] NIKKOTUASON:
5%-100% in about 1.2 hours using Quick Charge 3.0 and a charge rate of 1.05mA.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Fusseldieb:
The note 7 has blasting charging speeds *no puns intended*
[Note 7 Real Life Review] winol:
I never use fast charge, as it degrades battery life, but the normal charge is very fast for me, comparing to my previous note 4
[Note 7 Real Life Review] NIKKOTUASON:
Ive heard that fast charge does degrade batteries but do you know by how much? And how long does it take you to charge your device 0-100%?

Thanks
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Pulsage:
2 hours and full

Got 6 hours sot on my first usage starting at 90%, wifi only - internet/youtube/light gaming

Not impressive but decent, not as terrible as I thought sd820 was going to be aside from it being hot
[Note 7 Real Life Review] DudeThatsErin:
Could be better but with all of the battery saving features you get, I don't have any issues with how long the battery lasts with the screen on.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] twelvematic:
You can also change the resolution to FHD. It will increase the SOT and FPS while playing videogames :) Great new feature :good:
[Note 7 Real Life Review] EarlZ:
What SOT is impressive for you and what phone is that ?
[Note 7 Real Life Review] HeavenlyFall:
6 hours of heavy usage with LTE would be very impressive, S7E exynos can pull off 6-7 hours in that regard.

6 hours with wifi and light usage is pretty typical even for mid range phones, my 7 years old iphone can pull off similar results in airplane mode.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] NAiLs00:
No ****, eh? I am beyond happy with the SOT with this phone... hell, the battery period. My POS LG G3 couldn't go more than 3.5 hours SOT with light to moderate usage.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] matsuyamakaze:
20 hours 30minutes on phone charged 100percent at 1 am it's now 908pm 23 percent battery left. 4hourd 43 minutes sot I'm impressed.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Malik828:
U are saying iphone 3gs was capable of 6 hours of usage
[Note 7 Real Life Review] matsuyamakaze:
Lol standby or airplane mide note 7 would last a week. Easy.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] er.g.anand90:
Mine clocked 8 hrs with wifi, you tube, moderate gaming and online music.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] imatts:
I've managed about 17hrs SOT on my Note 5 once*

*Attatched to a battery pack lol
[Note 7 Real Life Review] Psiryu:
Snapdragon model note 7. Had 6 hours 30 minutes of screen on time, 3 more hours of standby, WiFi, Bluetooth, WiFi calling, and AOD all active, location set to battery saving, none of the power saving features active, spent lots of time in Firefox and Facebook messenger, watched a full movie from SD card at 100% brightness, sketched in autodesk sketchbook with the s pen for maybe an hour, and I still have 35% remaining. Been at full bars of reception all day, though, so no drain from low signal. Either way, I'm impressed. Especially coming from my HTC one m9, haha. And the phone stayed pretty cool all day, especially compared to the m9.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] JuliusCes:
Hi, I'm looking at around 5 hours of SOT.

I believe I am experiencing severe battery drain on my phone. My phone doesn't last a complete day without needing a recharge.

Here are some quick stats.

- My phone has been on for 6h20m. Screen on for 2h17mn. Battery left is 58%. Although, I've turned on MAX power saving mode for about 1 hour or two today to ensure that my phone can last throughout the day.

- I usually have screen brightness at 50% or lower.

- According to the device maintenance app, and depending on past usage I have enough juice for another 6h50mn. That would lead to screen time of about 4 to 5 hours.

- I'm using dark themes whenever possible to reduce screen battery consumption.

- I've played a game for about 10 to 20 minutes today

- I've noticed that when my screen is on, every couple of minutes (maybe 5 minutes at the most) my battery percentage will drop by 1%.

- I mainly use my phone for gReader (RSS Reader with dark theme modee), WhatsApp (with black wallpaper) and the Economist.

- The top 3 items that have consumed my battery so far are: Screen (33%), Android OS (21%), Andoroid System (16%)

- I'm using two SIMs on my phone

- Believed to be Exynos. Bought it from the Middle East

- Always on Dispaly has 4 clocks on at all times. Probably using more battery.

Am I a heavy user hence why my battery is running out quickly. Or are there certainly issues with the battery?

Thanks for your feedback
[Note 7 Real Life Review] dsedapr:
I feel as if I'm getting horrible battery life as well. Been hard to tell being that I have horrible signal at work, if it doesn't improve with real world usage this weekend I'm going to phone att for a replacement.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] jasenko:
SOT is a useless measure on it's own, doesn't tell anything about the battery life. I doubt you can get 6h SOT and that your phone can last until the end of the day. Yesterday I got about 4h SOT and around 14h uptime before I plugged it in again. Can't say that I am unhappy with that.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] HeavenlyFall:
5 hours of playing Deemo and have 14% remaining, probably going to refund it for a S7E with exynos instead or keep it and sell it before S8 launches

Wifi only, brightness was around 30% auto. Not a gpu intensive game at all so not as impressive as it sounds. I believe the S7E exynos did 5 hours of pokemon go with max brightness.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] guthrien:
I'm getting great battery. Better than my Nexus 6P, which I didn't expect. Seemed to run hot day 2, not day 3. Not...sure why. Love the power options, normally I hate to touch power saving.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] jasenko:
Quoting myself here. Day 4 with the phone, 4:10 SOT with 18 h of on-battery time. Battery went down to 4%. Just a normal use, few videos, lots of music played (Deezer and Pandora), about 30m of Pokemon Go, news, etc. Once again, not unhappy with the results. I would prefer if I have another 5-10% left to account for the unexpected. Otherwise, all good.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] golfinggino:
I was really hoping it wasn't the case but it sounds from these posts that the sot is as poor as the note 5 guess I will keep my s7e until I can find an exynos version of the note 7
[Note 7 Real Life Review] jasenko:
I think I have found what was eating my battery. I didn't notice before, but Note 7 came with location services set to High Accuracy as default. Changing that to power saving may have dramatic result on battery usage. Look at the screen and the angle in the last couple of hours. Almost looks like a flat line.
[Note 7 Real Life Review] cricketgirl90:
Can you guys update whether you are using snapdragon or exynos versions
[Note 7 Real Life Review] imatts:
My phone:

- Snapdragon N930W8

- Latest firmware

- Debloated using Packagr Disabler Pro

- Disabled lots of things in Settings

- MID Mode set: WQHD, brightness to 80%, limit performance and stops background usage.

Heres what I've gotten so far:

( Layout SOT / USAGE TOTAL )

- 4 hrs / 18 hrs (initial unboxing and set up)

- 6 hrs 26 mins / 15 hrs (battery saver on)

- 6 hrs 59 mins / 10 hrs (battery saver on)

- 5 hrs 20 mins / 21 hrs (battery saver off)

- Current cycle @ 70% so far: 3 hrs 12 mins / 15hrs (battery saver on)

Every day I pretty much do the same thing (besides the initial set up day):

- Browse internet (chrome)

- Pokemon Go (2-4hrs)

- Share Hotspot (usually about 2hrs for my GF to play Pokemon whilr we are out)

- Random YT videos when I get home

- 9GAG, FB, Twitter, Email all through Chrome only (apps are battery hogs)

- Some music at night before bed

- Usually I will DL a movie and watch it before bed as well

- Brightness varies from 100-0%. Morning is 0-20%, Pokemon time is 100-80ish, and then home time is 20-0%

Looks like light browsing with brightness set all the way down drains 10% per hour, just like most of the other phones i've had.
