              Tbh the Mate 9 Pro is the only phone I wld get over OP3T if the prices were similar. Huawei has matured into a big player and is now making proper flagship devices. It's certainly better than S7 at the moment.

                Goku, 24 Jan 2017Lol no one will buy the phone except reviewersso true

                                    AnonD-491921, 25 Jan 2017Maybe but they are not that widespread for that to be profitableWhat I say is that right now there is a huge opportunity for other chip makers. No smart OEM will deliver their next 2017 flagship with a 821. That's just dumb. And the 835 were all bought by Samsung (allegedly). What's left? No OEM will make flagships with a MediaTek for developped markets and at a premium price. Intel is slow at deliver drivers. Texas Instruments has stopped the chip manufacturing. You either get the Exynos 8895, NVIDIA's newest chip or a new company gets in (but that's really unlikely).

                                      1) I prefer metal phones to the fragile glass ones any day.
                                      2) I prefer the Oxygen os over Touchwiz cos it's clean and gives a lot more freedom.
                                      3) Performance of OP3T is in every way better and Samsung devices slows down a lot after a year or two which doesn't happen with OP devices (I know cos my father has a Note 4 and my cousin had Op1)
                                      4) The fingerprint scanner is faster.
                                      5) Profile switcher key. U may not think it's much but, once u get used to it u won't be able to live without it. Certainly I can't.
                                      6) Perhaps the biggest of all DASH Charging. It's just blazing fast. Totally changes how u use a smartphone. Cos it can go from the battery range of around 20% to 90% in a matter of 30mins.


                                      Now I do know S7 has its advantages with better rear cam and waterproofing but that's it.
                                      For me a 2k is screen is overkill on a 5.5 inch display cos I don't use it for VR and although I wld have a preferred a micro SD slot, dual Sim is more important to me. S7E has only a hybrid slot so I need to choose between SD or a 2nd Sim which beats the purpose...
                                      But yeah this is just my view.
