I wonder if Samsung will succeed in making it more appealing than LG's implementation in its G5

      AnonD-491921, 31 Aug 2016Really no one uses FM radios anymore,I use IR blaster a lot... moreOr maybe no one uses IR blaster anymore. Among people i know, they rather have FM Radio than IR blaster lol. Although i rather have both.

        Let's hope that it will be really really great!? But in a nutshell, the key features/specs that Samsung need to introduce/upgrade, is basically everything of the Note7 (obviously without the pen cos it's not a note) then 1 obviously the latest of Qualcomm's SD, 2 the new trend 6GB RAM, 3 the 4K Display (but they need to amalgamate it, in some how with the Battery juice/draining! ), 4 increase the selfie camera to 8MP (& better to include a real flash ), 5 perhaps increase the main camera as well, & 6, the long long long awaited Dual Stereo Speakers, I honestly can't understand what Samsung is/are waiting for? ???????????? How they don't understand the need for! ???? (If it was possible? I really tell them this personally! ) & because if there is something, that customers/consumers/users/geeks have to complain about, is definitely the sound of Samsung's general devices, & here we are talking about the most flagship of them, & that it is supposed to be the best best flagship of all top dogs/brands! So I really really hope that Samsung will finally understand!? & incorporate these old & innovative /updated specs! !!!!!!! Just do it Samsung! !!!!!!!!!!!

            The best design would be for the flash to be at the center of the two cameras, it the rumor is true.

                      AMOLEDs are way better than LCDs.My Secondary Phone(Galaxy S5) screen is not burned in even aqfter 2 and a half years of continuous use.Bro you just jealous cuz your phone have LCD.IT offers wider color gamut,better viewing angles,high contrast ratio,punchier colors,pure blacks and better brightness(Note 7) etc.

                        I will buy it for 100% if:
                        1. 4k display(only for Gear VR porpouse)
                        2. sd card
                        3. No overheating problem
                        and it would be nice if it supports VR more in some kind of new technology.

                          "Other details haven't been *outed* yet"

                          Been encountering this word frequently in gsmarena.com. Never encountered such usage in other medias. English is not my main language, but I would gather "Other details have not been released yet" or "No other details are available currently" would be more appropriate?

                          Thank you for the news.

                            lol samsung tries so hard to prove a point that at the end of it all,after the dust settles,they still just cannot make a single quality product. its sad,because millions of people are deceived daily and think they winning by holding a samsung device,but they end up looking just as cheap and useless as the device they holding. if anything,samsung needs to destroy its entire structure and start rebuilding it from scratch. the foundation layed has been layed wrong.

                              Things could be much different.

No because only... moresamsung is 3 years ahead of stock android or ios in terms of software features ... so yearly updates are useless for samsung phones. We don't care even if the note 7 wont get updated to android 7 because all android 7 features are there on samsung phones since 1602 AD .. lol !!!

                                    Michael Fisher, best video phone reviewer on YouTube, praised Note7. Josh Vergara from Android Authority praised Note7. Go on several websites from CNET, PocketNow, Engadget, and Mashable, almost everyone is giving Note7 a big thumbs up. Rave reviews. So haters are screaming failure and garbage when none of you even used it yet. Too busy watching or reading reviews to actually buy one and experience it.

                                    It's only glaring flaws -

                                    RAM management (correctable)

                                    I am supposed to listen to anonymous posters here who think it is a failure and only tried it for 5 minutes at the store vs reviewers who used it much longer than that? I saw PhoneBuff test its speed but also did a drop test between Note7 vs iPhone 6s. It took him 50x and the Note7 still worked falling face first. The 6s stopped working after 5 drops! I could care less about the back or shallow scratches. I would rather have a WORKING PHONE than one that stops working after 5 drops like the iPhone 6s failed at. David of PhoneBuff ranked Note7 as the 3rd most durable phone of all-time. Believe him. Don't believe the haters here.

                                    Software - Correctable

                                    ^ Note7 excels in all the hardware essentials.

                                      agh85, 31 Aug 2016Why does it always happen that Apple needs to do something ... moreThe problem with most of you is you really think Samsung only does smartphones and TV's when they do so much more. They can thrive in other markets while Apple depends solely on iPhone sales. Why is having the same color being labeled as copying? The rumored blue iPhone 7 isn't confirmed yet and it looks completely different than the blue Note7. You haters are reaching.

                                      How come Apple made a "5.5 iPhone Plus? Didn't they copy Samsung revolutionizing the phablet market? Why are features like water-resistance and wireless charging a big deal for iPhone 7? Didn't we have those on Android years ago? So when Apple copies Android or plans to usr OLED in next year's iPhone, nobody bats an eye. When Samsung copies a few things or Google Android whether fingerprint scanner or same color schemes, Apple fans lose their minds!

                                      LOL at the Apple idiocracy here. You all have as much intelligence as Donald Trump in politics. You need reassurance posts like saying Note7 sucks or is a failure when you never even owned the phone because you can't afford one and rely on reviews or XDA posts because you can't FIX IT yourself. Like a perfect smartphone even exists? The iPhone 7, LG V20, and Nexus phones will be old news too after a couple weeks and will just as many flaws as a Note7.
