Pretty useful.

Fortunately my preferences are bit different for me phone has to be reliable. Premium built and feel. Buttery smooth OS flat. Works without issues. Response. Great camera. Good speakers. Customisation. Notification light. Aesthetically has to pleasing to the eye. Min 5.5 screen. SD card.

Both Note 7 and iPhone 7 plus have these features. Both phones also lack certain important features.

iPhone lacks the notification light which is big bummer. Customisation again bad, unless jailbroken which is a big plus as warranty isn't effected.

Note 7 lacks buttery smooth pleasing to the eye UI.A Big no no!!! Poor customisation and rooting effects warranty. Another big no no especially after the exploding phone. Launchers don't completely get rid of TW.

So between the 2 so far I'm more inclined to get iphone 7 plus.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mankvl:
Wtf? In what planet do you live? Jailbroken iPhone is as good as rooted N7... your warranty is gone, and personally in my county I even got my phone fixed even with root on it. It was a hardware problem. And i still can't understand where do you see a lag on n7 it's buttery smooth eve with s820, not talking about exynos
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alltaken123:
That runs contrary to the article from XDA on the s820 model.....
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mankvl:
What? They never tested exynos version and that article for me is plain stupid. They are counting 0.5 seconds as a lag + animations. They should have tested it without animations for acurate results... and if you rly care about such things just get the OP3 and move one. I even like TW now on N7 and won't die if it opens some app 1 second slower then the OP3 according to that article.

P. S. There is ton video in YouTube where N7 loads Web pages and some apps faster then OP3 so this article is just few ppl observation and not the real deal.

Plant earth in London, UK.

Samsung have refused to touch rooted phones, you'll find many stories of this happening. That's not to say everyone who has rooted phone has been refused repair but there certainly have been incidents.

As for buttery smooth I think it means different things to different people. Depends on what you're comparing it too. I'm comparing it too stock android iOS 6s plus. No stutter

People rushing to buy IPhones should better read first:

http://motherboard.vice.com/read/iphone-6-plus-touch-disease-touch-ic-engineering-flaw

Quick sum up: Iphone6 has a serious design issue, tens of thousands affected (in fact its possible that all units are affected)... Apple doesn't give a frap, nor will it solve the problems for customers or it will "solve" it charging them and giving them a refurbished phone with same issue. Why isn't this all over Internet... well... APPLE... enough said.

PS: Maybe you should wait on that Note 7 replacement
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alltaken123:
Whilst Apples actions are deplorable; I think balance is needed.

US safety regulators have passed comment on Samsung and their handling of the recall, a good point is raised here, for instance guidance would suggest that accessories such as the charger should be swapped:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37381531

Mr Kaye said Samsung should not have tried to do the recall by itself, saying: "Anybody who thinks that a company going out on its own is going to provide the best recall for that company, and more importantly for the consumer, needs to have more than their phone checked,"

Apple should of course make things right with the iPhone issues but so far a safety issue from that problem is not present. If we are going to compare things then it should at least be on equal footing, the Samsung issue is obvious, the Apple issue, although research has been performed the regulators have no clear evidence so far.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diaconescu_Tiberiu:
There was no "best" way for Samsung to handle this. Officially or not, logistically speaking, its impossible to come up with a win-win situation. Let's not forget we're talking about globally shipped items. I bet after first 5 reports they hoped it was a user fault problem. After 20 they needed to react fast. Making haste decisions always proves to be bad. It's difficult to blame a company for not managing this perfectly... after all you should be put through this kind of issues several times... to learn from mistakes.

My point is though, Samsung shows it wants to fix this (maybe not good enough, maybe not fast enough)... but on the other hand Apple shows how little does it care for their customers.

PS: If one has patience enough to read the entire article, will see Apple ia fully aware of the problem, there's prove even that they try to fix it (repair) and than abandoned when they realize its better for them to deny and just give people defective refurbished phones with same issue... just didn't manifest it yet. That's.... wow... I for one could never be a customer to so much bs
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alltaken123:
The erroneous claim that Apple is aware is false. No patience is required and snide remarks like that don't help.The fact is that Apple have not acknowledged there is a problem. Poor in my opinion but that is the real fact.

The other fact is that Samsung initiated a safety recall on its own ignoring regulators which has prompted the regulators (when they stepped in by force) to criticise Samsung's handling of the recall.

You do realise that international electronics manufacturers that have issues often do what is best for the company, I don't see why you have a constant need to bash Apple, they are all the same in this regard :good:
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diaconescu_Tiberiu:
Because they are not. You haven't read the article.. i did. Apple has knowledge... and it doesn't want to deal with it. The main issue here is in fact the fact they don't want to acknowledge because its their business model. That's exactly what i wanted to highlight after all... its not bashing its reality... i know you don't like it... deal with it

Maybe read first than talk later... otherwise your just polluting this topic with subjective uninformed opinions.

Please stop quoting if you post right after... you're violating forum rules... and its annoying
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alltaken123:
It's clear that anybody posting facts and naturally countering your own trolling is going to meet your childish side. I refuse to agree with your constant need to bash Apple, a theme perpetuated by yourself throughout this thread.

It's now 2016 and you're still up to the same old fanboy nonsense. I really hope that one day you can evolve your opinion and become more refined; then you can have a richer discussion that perpetuates more than 'Apple Grrr, I have to choose a side!'.

Good day.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diaconescu_Tiberiu:
One cannot have any sort of discussion with an Apple fan boy such as yourself.

I am not bashing I'm presenting facts. If truth hurts so much go to an Apple forum, it's not my fault there are so many issues with the hardware and software and company's attitude towards its customers. If you like to continue trolling do so on private let this topic be about phones and their issues. You can refuse all day... I dont write here for you or any other bored Apple fan boy
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Alright fellas we all like our phones but we can agree to disagree and there's no harm in sharing opinions. At the end of the day none of us get any benefits to pick one or the other smartphone. We pay the supplier makes profit.

So why so angry[emoji51]

Btw I'm typing this on my iPhone 6s Plus using musical keyboard. Fantastic tweak and nothing like it on android, just one the many tweaks you can get jail breaking which you can't get rooting custom rom. Too risky and lose warranty.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
I'm still waiting on my iPhone 7 plus to arrive. I'm still considering buying note 7 and putting it thru its paces.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] turilo:
Well my N930FD just seems to have suddenly decided to play quits. No idea what happend or the constant rom flashing etc seem my note 7 will not stay on without going in a boot loop or just turning off. Even when holding volume dow+ home and power will not wake it up. Also flashing the stock via Odin or Smart Switch doesn't fix the issue.

I almost feel as something corrupted the device..really pissed and now really need this exchange done
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Ow dear that doesn't sound to good. Just hope you're note 7 is replaced since you've rooted. Have you tried flashing stock rom via Odin and then factory reset phone?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] turilo:
done everything possible, no luck whatsoever. As for it being replaced because of root i dont think we have to worry about that as it's a world wide recall
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
I hope so. That's why I believe jailbreak is better then root and flashing custom roms. With jailbreak it's just a matter of resetting. With root you lose you're warranty and then you're screwed if anything goes wrong.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlang123:
It shipped like next day, got it in 2 or 3.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
My iPhone 7 plus didn't arrive on time. Apparently everyone was given less stock then promised. I'm keeping my options open. Ordered iPhone 7 which isn't my preference and will arrive on Monday. Note 7 still unavailable no one is taking orders as per Samsung instructions.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlang123:
My iPhone 7+ is sitting at home waiting on me. I also ordered a Moto Z Play , and just snagged a refurb S7 for 360. One of these three phones will remain. Sending back my Nexus 5x.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] LAURCORE:
My local Verizon store just received replacement units earlier today... Get another, or wait to check out V20 & Pixel XL?

Edit: I also have a feeling Samsung will be offering some killer promos in the very near future... ugh
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlang123:
Yeah I still have unlimited data, and was paying full price for it. I really think it is going to erode the residual value when I sell it, which I do every year. So I decided to just try to find something else to use.

The Refurb S7 for 370, seems if it's decent shape, then I can resell it next year without much loss. The Moto Z play, after having played with the Moto G 4th edition and it is plenty fast enough with a 617 proc, the 625 in the Z play should be more than enough, and people are getting like 10 hours of SOT with it. So if the camera in the Z play doesn't blow, I might keep it. And then there is the iPhone 7+, wife and whole family have iPhones, so maybe I should just bite the bullet. They always wonder why they can't facetime me, or imessage me lol. When they send me some things, Android devices have in the past failed to open them. But then.. it's iOS....
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlang123:
So this iPhone 7 plus so far is way better on battery than any of my Android phones have been. Even downloading apps today. Guess I'm missing the random google play services and android os battery drain. But dang, it's huge.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
I got my iPhone 7 still waiting 7 plus.

Quite intrigued to compare the difference between 2 devices. I've also ordered note 7 to compare with 7 plus. See which arrived first.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] m4gg0t:
After 4 Note7s even after the recall replacements, I still have stuck/dead pixels and screen unevenness. Sigh...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
4 replacements.!!!!! How did you manage to get 4 replacements, most can't even get the first replaced.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dlang123:
So. Took iPhone off charger today at 9am. Been using it light to average today. Battery at 77% just now. So I might keep this. I was always lucky to be on 50% when I left work most days. Left work at 98%
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Allen_Jolynn0:
Many Note 7 Owners complains Phone Exchange Program Not Going So Well.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Looks like replacement or new order dates has been pushed back to end of November. That's a long wait.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] koppee1:
I was worried about the note 7 being banned forever in fights even after the exchange...but I'm still leaning on the note 7.

Now we have another note 2 catching fire. This is not helping...sigh

Hmmm Note 2 burning.

God knows how old that device is, I'm not going to read too much into that.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] m4gg0t:
I live in Singapore, and in singapore we have the recall happening now and people are getting the fixed Note7s. My first note7 was replaced by my telco for dead/stuck pixels, got my replacement and it still had dead/stuck pixels, went to get a replacement from Samsung from the recall and it still had dead/stuck pixels, got a replacement from Samsung Service Center and it has dead/stuck pixels and screen color unevenness (some areas have a slight pink/purple hue). The luck I have. My brothers note7 has 2 dead/pixels and his phone if from the recall. Samsung has some serious QC issues because they rushed the note7 to market.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
That's true definitely rushed it perhaps in the haste of beating apple to the punch
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mankvl:
It was launched like all note5 wtf rushed smth...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TML1504:
I wrote/started a few threads regarding Samsung amoled quality issues in my phone and xda history.

almost every amoled display from all devices I've seen were different in terms of color shift and unevenness.

I call this the screen lottery, or the "luck of the draw"... ;)

it's mainly because of the manufacturing process, where displays were made with lithography, and cut out of a wafer! in simple words, the more from the center your screen has been cut out, the more even its color reproduction and tint is!

this is especially a problem here with the replacement process: usually I buy 5 units and keep the best, now I fear to exchange my hand-selected unit with a good screen for a replacement, because I'm almost sure that I will get a device with a worse screen...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] m4gg0t:
Yea I know about this, just sucks as my Note7 before this one had a perfect screen apart from the dead/stuck pixel and I got a replacement with a less obvious dead/stuck pixel but with color unevenness. Still deciding if I will do anything about it, but chances are I won't get a replacement note7 they will just replace the screen and in turn void the water resistance.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Samsung are really feeling the pressure with all these issues. I think they will have two do something spectacular with S8, perhaps TW will be gone!!! Wishful thinking. I'm trying Honor 8 Samsung look like at fraction of the cost.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
I'm actually contemplating buying note 5 which is going to be half the price. I'm wondering whether it's worth paying so much for note 7. I'm not too fussed about sd card as I'm probably going to buy 64gb. Water proof not to bothered either, edge screen definitely not fussed about that. I prefer flat screen tbh, if note 7 came in flat variant that would be my preference. So I'm wondering is there any other advantages at all to buying the note 7?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gkstates:
I actually switched to Iphone 7 Plus mainly because I'd get better customer service. I bought my Note 7 off CL and it was Verizon version. I used it with TMobile. They kept shoving me back and forth between those two for the exchange saying they can't do anything without knowing the exact store I bought it from. Called Samsung themselves and asked for a exchange. They said okay okay took my IMEI and ensured me that someone will call me back to go forwards with the exchange within 24 hours. Few days later, nothing. I called in again. They did the same thing. Nothing happened. I called 2 more times over the span of few days. Finally I've enough of it. Sold mine and accepted losing out some money.

Fast forward to Iphone 7 Plus. I love the build quality, design, best selfies camera ever (since Samsung ****ed it up after note 4), rear camera (not so much, cant focus as fast as S7 and low light is a joke). But absolutely hate iOS 10. I was considering to switch back to Note 7 but after hearing the new replacements are also over heating and bursting into flame. I'm not so sure anymore. But I know I'm #teamandroidforlife. So currently pre-ordering the Xperia XZ now. Hopefully it lives up to its expectation.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
I had a note 5 and prefer a flat screen really.

But i needed the SD card and the note 7 is just an all around better user experience (battery issues not included lol) than the note 5.

And i loved my note 5. But note 7 is much better all around
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Now that I've owned Iphone 7 plus, Moto z which I'm quite happy but i still haven't decided which is 2016 best smartphone.

I'm waiting for Pixel XL, Note7 and Blackberry DTEk60 before I make my mind which is my favourite.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Asus zenfone 3 deluxe with snapdragon 821 and 6g of ram.

Its ahead of the curve in many areas but the bootloader is locked for now so no go for me.

Sent from my SM-N930FD
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
The only problem it doesn't have QHD screen which is a must unless you're apple. I've even thought about zte axon 7 but software kind of put me off.

I would like to try Lg v20 but it won't be available in Europe.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] B3501:
Well, the Pixel is out the question. Stupidly expensive with average specs and features.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Pixel xl is pricey as is Iphone. Pixel is a premium phone with stock software which is fantastic. Maybe should have been priced around the £700 bracket for the 128gb but then again so should have Iphone 7 plus 128gb. Both rip off the question is who do want to be ripped off by!!!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] koppee1:
I love my note. But if they do another recall, I'll probably refund and get either a Sony xz or an LG v20...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] B3501:
The V20 isn't being released in Europe sadly.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] 3kgt:
I have been wating now for the N7 as many. But is still happy with my N4 and don't need to rush... yet there is no phone for me wich can replace the note in hardware and software...sure Nexus/pixel is blotware free, but Note phones come with many useful functions stock. I got Nexus family to but many times you can feel the lack of sammy apps...and the Spen is irreplaceable with no current competition to match. And once again hardware wize no phone yet to match. So i will wait for N7 or N8
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
For me it's the ugly tw which spoils the whole experience. That's my biggest complaint about Samsung phones, otherwise note 7 would be fantastic.

Having said that I must admit tw on note 7 does look less cartoonish and more flat, it's a big step in the right direction.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] 3kgt:
Tw have its goods and bads..but sure i dont use/like it either much thow one would be lying if not admitting all the functionality of its software. I compare to a nexus for example. I use Nova launcher and have stopped using tw loong time agoo
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
I recently had S7 edge which after few days reminded how much I hated TW. I tried different launchers but still couldn't get myself to keep S7 edge. TW is still in the settings menu, phone dialler etc it's everywhere other then the home screen. No matter how fantastic the phone is tw kills all that. It's the same reason I hate lg because of ui, In fact Lg ui is worse then Samung's hands down. It's like a child designed it!!

Not sure why Lg and Samsung can't just cut their loses and completely revamp ui.

Lg will never be as big as Samsung as long as they keep using the same ui. I'm sorry ui is a joke.
