        PLAYER SLAYER, 24 Jan 2017That's still no reason to think of Sony as anything great. ... moreWhy wouldnt I think that?
        Sony is tremendously great and unique in this mobile world IMO.
        Someone elses opinion can differ of course, I dot care.

        But I personally would be ashamed if I used a Samsung device after reading stuff like this. And its not the first one like this mind you.
        My mind is definitely set against Samsung for faul plays like these. Would never give a buck for such buisness ethics.
        Its like that Nestle CEO that spouted water should not be a human privlledge....good riddens to your products and NesCafe....I despise it now.

          Well what are they going to use on their new flagships?
          it might not be a problem considering they only sells 100 unit.Samsung might have some spare chips leftover i assume

              This comes after Qualcomm is getting charged with anticompetitive practices, now Samsung and qaulcomm are teaming up doing exactly that. Both need to be sued for their anticompetitive practices. Samsung can't even make a good phone regardless and no screen size bump will help that, the usablilty will still be trash as they are just focusing on hardware again.

                      Why Samsung don't release 16 core chips just like they release 2 sets of quad-core last time, it must be a better gimmick great gimmicks perfect gimmicky.

                        I guess this is in anticipation of the greatest demand in the history of smartphones that will welcome the amazing Galaxy S8. This is just an indication of how confident Samsung is with the S8, that it will be the greatest ever.
                        And maybe also as a goodbye gesture to Qualcomm and ARM since rumour has it that starting next year, there will only be Exynos with in house GPU in corporation with either Nvidia or AMD inside the Samsung flagships. No more Dragons and Malis from next year on.

                            Why pick Qualcomm over in house designed Exynos? The reason couldn't be speed - noone cares if one or the other is a little faster. Perhaps the Qualcomm design yields higher yields? Or is Qualcomm still continuing its anti competitive practices as in use our design or pay exorbitantly for essentials mobile licenses?

And if 4gb also feels less for a samsung device, it's samsung that is at fault here. Ask them to get rid of bloated TouchWiz.
                              As for resolution, set S7E resolution to 1080p and then do a comparison with OP3T, S7E still fails.
                              It's samsung fault. Just don't be a crybaby of samsung

                                I owned S7edge here am telling you this is sucks on playing 2k17 and battery is not good.
                                I have mi max also 32gb 3gb SD650 can play 2k17 on max setting unlike on S7edge is not smooth on max setting. Battery on mi max can last me 3 days while S7edge good for 1 day. Many fanatics here believed Exynos is good, well I tell you try it first

                                      Am inclined to take this with a pinch of salt myself.

                                      LG would have frozen the design and spec requirement and begun sourcing the necessary components months ago, remember this device is by all accounts just over a month away from hitting the shelves.

                                      That means production must have already started. If this story were true, I would have expected it to come to light far sooner than this.
