Interestingly, some are looking to the Google Pixel phones as a replacement.

Apart from non-removable batteries, the planned obsolescence is mostly brainwashing: They brainwash people into thinking they need to replace their phones, but they don't really (In majority of cases).

        Note 7 will forever be a legend. Those who don't agree are just jealous or Sony/Google/LG/HTC fanboys

          LG v20 got good reviews throughout, but as compared to other flagships its one hell of a ugly phone. Only if LG would have given more attention to design.

                      Not everyone is happy with Samsung, but you never know they still have the opportunity to surprise me.

                        IMO those who bought S6/S7 and their Edge variants are happy with their devices and with probably stick with Samsung.
                        Those who bought Note 5 or Note 7, it'll be 50-50 or sth like that.
                        And the ones who bought J-A-Cs or other mid and low range Samsung phones will stick with their phones, after all they probably don't spend that much money on phones, or simply don't care.

                          So many people dying to change their phones?

                          Isn't Note4 still out there? If removable battery is such a big deal, just slap on a new battery and wait 1 more year. Whats the biggy?

                          But i guess the planned obsolescence has to do with lag and non updates then it is for removable batteries :)

They are first fashion toys and then smartphones. Good to see at least Samsung is paying for this idiocratic policy.

How can anyone in their right mind compare Samsung with their mom? A company that continually makes profits on the it's customers without delivering a requsite satisfaction...Please Samsung is not your mom, your aunty or friend, they only see you as a customer and a cash cow, they are only interested on how to make money from you and new ways to make more money from gullible people like you, that being said, all mobile phone manufacturers are exactly the same but with a small difference of some being more greedy than the others. I don't think you have used the flagship phones from top brands like Sony, HTC, LG and Xiaomi, if you have over the years, then I'm sure you would have realised that Samsung has a very mediocre build quality, laggy UI and less than durable battery that depreciates under a year.

                                  The time has passed when people can be enslaved to one brand, like the age of BlackBerry and Nokia, now phone users are well informed and have choices, if the current Samsung users are not happy with what they are paying for, they can also switch brands and switch again if they are not satisfied, it's not a free food from your mom.

                                  Samsung has failed with the Note 7, they didn't properly test it before it was released, most of their customers have lost trust in them and cannot be blamed for switching brands, I don't feel sorry for Samsung, they lost a huge chunk of their money and prestige because of their own incompetence, I hope they have learned their lesson this time around.

                                    A Note 4 user here & will buy another Samsung as my next phone. Nobody can best that display & camera in Samsung phones.

                                      Sadly, only S`s, Notes and iPhones produce great photos. Thus, Samsung pricing is fair. Anyone can put a Snapdragon 820 inside plus a clean launcher and create a spaceship, but great photos do not come so easily.
