i bought mine online thru ebay. ive been using it since dec without any problems. recent update blocked my network. im not gonna update anymore. ive been using it like a tab for browsing, underwater videos, normal pictures etc. love the spen. love the phone. so far no heating issues probably cuz my phone doesnt recharge to 100. and no exploding issues either. after using this phone i have high expectations for the s8. cuz the note7 is really good. makes the s7 edge feel outdated.

      Considering they sold 3.5 million and 3% have not been returned means that there is still over 100,000 note 7's out in the wild.

                This case is different. some people are still using the S7 (not replacements) and seeing some of the comments here some people are.
                will this people get replace after that update?

                and also I don't always open this site. I rarely do

                  Anonymous, 25 Mar 2017Get a life all youI 'll turn mine in when the Note 8 is released. I wonder now if they will let me swap for a N8? If not, it'll be worth something down the road.

                          Pfff i still have my note 7 and i have all the firmware from first release. Gtfo Samsung I'm not going to return my baby.

                            Tells you how amazing the note 7 was. If it were the s7/s7 edge, i'll bet each and every one of them would have been returned.

                              Thus is dangerous move of Samsung if they want any version to stop circulating they updat a specific version to stop running and anyon updated will lose your phone totally useless.

                                Is it limited to Note 7 ??
                                Actually my Galaxy Note 4 is running on Note 7 ROM so this will effect my Device also I.e. Galaxy Note 4 ???
