AnonD-442287, 22 Aug 2016I've got a galaxy A3 for over a year which has gorilla glas... moreno visible marks? i hope ur just talking about the screen, i own a Gxy A3 as well and yeah my screen is intact (though i use screen protector and have dropped it less than 10 times) but the body is really fragile, a small drop in a rough surface and it'll dent easily, even so i luv my phone XD

From watching commercial it looked great. From watching real life drop tests and scratch test I'm worried like hell about that.
If you drop this phone it is LIKELY to atleast crack in a couple of drops outside. That to me is not good at all.
From the commercial I got the impression it would hold no problem.

GG5 have been exaggerated. Just like the Samsung always making 100% perfect phones.

I saw leaked photos of the Sony PS4 slim which seemed tempting because been interested in getting back into video games. But I said nah, let me get the Note7 first! The PS4 can't download from torrent apps and I like the Gear VR portability and price. PS4 can wait. Need Note7 now.
VR seems like a gimmicky but this is how I rank gadget importance for me -
Smartphone
Laptop/Desktop/Notebook/2 in 1 hybrids
TV
VR
Tablet
Portable media player
Smart watch
VR is in the middle of being practical and gimmicky. I never found tablets practical. Never got into the iPad craze. A giant iPod touch. Apple Watch is a big waste of money. VR is something that can enhance my media viewing experience.
I can point at every flaw of the Note7. It has been said repeatedly here like high price, scratch prone GG5, average speaker, lower battery life than S7 edge, non removable, no FM, yadda yadda. Like a broken record already. But it is just too good for me to pass up even with its flaws. I need my 64gb internal, micro-sd slot, and Gear VR. I need the free goodies like a free 256gb micro-sd card or maybe free Samsung TV down the road.
I will be feasting on Pirate Bay, YIFY movie using my Flud app. Will downloading on YouTube, DailyMotion, and adult sites using TubeMate app. I need high storage period to transfer it all to my external hard drive. Then we also have a great design, camera, still pretty solid battery life, and many more features to boot. When my relatives drive me to Vegas in November, I will be sitting at the back using Gear VR to watch my movies and TV shows that I downloaded. Just wished the 128gb/6gb RAM/Exynos was optional for the U.S.
We can fault it but it is just too good to pass up no matter if the iPhone 7, HTC Nexus devices, and PS4 slim get released. Stop hesitating over superficial reasons or being a tightwad. This smartphone is the best of the best right now until the S8 edge and Note8 get released with 4K display. The rest of the competition are playing catch up with VR and other phones aren't quite as feature-packed or excel in the most important areas like the S7e/Note7 do no matter if they are cheaper.

I've got a galaxy A3 for over a year which has gorilla glass 4 and it's been great. Never used a screen protector or case. No scratches on the screen or the body. I've dropped it over 40 times from chest-height (btw I'm 6ft tall) and no visible marks on it. Still looks like new. Love it.
