You have to trade-in your Galaxy Note7, what should you get?

16 October 2016
A Galaxy S7 edge or a Note5 seem the obvious choice and Samsung is offering better incentives if you stick with its phones.

      I think LG V20 is the best option from the listed ones.

        Wow they couldn't even put the LG G5 as an alternative, I went from a Note 7 to a LG G5 and it was an excellent decision. Owning the device is like owning nexus 5x that was made of premium material.

          Yes, they use Sony sensors but their software and post processing isn't that great and hence why it's not rated any higher than the S7 Edge or Note 7.

          Functionality; the note 7 is currently the best device with functionality, no other device comes close.

          IP68 at least with IP6 you get a dust proof device, which becomes a problem with mobile devices, it is staying in your pocket or bag. I don't know why you're comparing it to a laptop (notebook).

          Corning Gorrila Glass 5 and better looking I would agree with you, the latter being very subjective.

          Better display to body ratio, Ultra Saving Mode again won't argue with any of your points.

          Display Resoultion, actually you can see the difference like night and day. Put it side by side and you will see the difference instantly.

                Sorry, but there is no alternative. The others are good but not to the level of Note 7. I'll be sticking with my Note 5

People buy the Note series for the S Pen. IP 6 should be a the minimum which means its dust proof.

                    Name one please!

                    Better display?
                    --> many phones with amoled in the market, and no need amoled for better experience.. just try play same video from sony z series vs note7.. you'll surprised how many people will prefer sony

                    Better camera?
                    --> most phone using sony sensor, even not the best, but still stellar.. we dont need too good camera since we -mostly- see photos from our 5-6inch display right?

                    Better functionality?(even if not mention the pen)
                    --> you don't need note7 if you prefer functionality, any phone is good depends on your needs

                    Better than IP68
                    --> this is what people often misunderstand, IP55 is more than enough for daily usage.. in the past my rugged dell laptop is IP55 and can withstand most extreme weather, heavy rainstorm, dust storm, tropical weather

                    Gorilla Glass 5?
                    --> as long as gorilla glass is enough, newer gorilla doesnt mean unscratchable, even without gorilla glass, applying some decent screenguard is more than enough or maybe you can bought premium&unscrathable tough screenguard if you were paranoid

                    Better looking?????????
                    --> so many phones with better looking, even chinese phones are far more beautiful, like honor8

                    Better display to body ratio?
                    --> so many phones with narrow bezel, even zenfone2 can do this.. mid-range sony can do this (premium sony have bigger bezel bcoz they put fingerprint reader on its side) nubia is almot bezelless.. sharp aquos is good example, not just bezelless on its sides, but also no bezel on top even there is no speakerhole on top..

                    Better one hand-mode?
                    --> many phones, and bigger phones tends to uncomfortable for one hand

                    Better that Ultra Saving mode?
                    --> many phones.. and sony can achieve good battery endurance only with fewer capacity.. if you want more battery saving, reduce brightness, turn off mobiledata, reduce apps.. and there are so many ultra saving apps out there

                    Display resolution changing?
                    --> no one can tell difference between 2560x1440 vs 1920x1080 on 5-6inch display.. even I doubt you can distinguish 720p vs 1080p on 13inch laptop

                    Better SAR (radiation)
                    --> many phones.. duh

                    Better reseption?
                    --> so many.. sometimes poor signal reception isn't because the phones, but also the carrier and other external factors
                    And so on

                          Better Build quality (Note would break if you drop it on either side)
                          Better screen to body ration (it's actually more then 5.9 inch display)
                          amazing wide angle camera
                          removable back
                          Tank like build quality
                          secondary display (at least better then gimmicky curved display)
                          & by the way, how many users actually use that S-Pen thing.

                                      What I would suggest is to root your phone. Don't worry, it will not make your phone slower.
                                      Install Greenify and add the apps that run in the background. You can check that in the application settings.
                                      Then install a kernel. Elemental X is the one I would suggest. And reduce the clock speeds of the cores to 500mhz lesser than stock on all cores.
                                      Turn on your phone. Do your usually setting and then install Kernel Audiator to be able to control the clock speeds from within your phone.

                                      It's helped me. 7 hours SOT!

                                        Honestly, there isn't anything that can replace the versatility that's required by someone who buys a Note phone.
                                        The S-Pen is the best stylus on a smartphone or tablet. Period.

                                        But, if you want a phone that's almost as versatile as the Note7, honestly the LG V20 is to beat. Yeah maybe the iPhone 7 is powerful and it has water resistance, but for someone who is a power user, I think Android is the way to go.
                                        And also, the V20 is right now the perfect choice for the power user. Sans the S-Pen.

                                        The OnePlus 3 isn't bad at all either.
                                        Give these phones a try if you want a Note7 replacement. They won't disappoint you.
