Samsung Galaxy Note7 review: Thinking Big

16 August 2016
All great speeches start with carefully prepared notes. For yet another year Samsung has taken the role of a modern-day orator, pushing for a return to personal handwriting against the trend of detached digital text.

Sort by:

The device is not waterproof. It's water resistant.

      This USB type-C connectpr has USB 2.0, or 3.0/3.1? Because a lot of devices with type-C only have USB 2.0 speeds.

              Note 7 is just a little upgrade from S7 edge from Samsung,Samsung just wanted another phone on the market before Apple release there new iPhone 7 Models,it proves that with using the same chips inside the Note 7 and S7 Edge,Not much in size difference but the Price difference is way to much,only months away for the S8 Edge,so will wait for that phone instead,loads will be saying bye bye to Samsung if they keep making there phones way to expensive for consumers

                Exynos kicked Snapdragon's ass once again.

                          cool review, mentioning pros and cons is always fun to read ^_^
                          it all comes to wether u can use the pen in the daily bases or not if any is considering to buy it as it's really cool thing but if u don't like it just go with the S7 Edge or any of the other brands (ZTE Axon is getting popular apparently)
                          oh, and i read that comment saying the S7 has way better battery (come on it's just 100MaH and we need to see the test to see which uses it more efficiently) and the one saying worst phone ever just trolling
                          as a las thing, i wanted to say something about the USB-C, although i haven't tried it, i don't think i'd matter that much since i use Bluetooth headphones and at least they added the adapter, still a matter of taste :)
                          cheers ^_^

                            Picture this you are walking in the park, you take your phone out and raise it to eye level to just unlock it using the Iris Scanner! Oh! With my thumb I would have unlocked it 1000% faster. Maybe wet fingers, fingers in gloves, alright I see!

But if you a... moreThe much hyped USB Type C's incremental advantage must not only be limited to reversibility, rather it must appeal more to functionality, otherwise it becomes another gimmick. The migration from the standard USB to type C has less incremental advantage than Apple's move from 30 pin connector to lightning port that saved a lot of space.

                                  SaltandPepper, 16 Aug 20163D touch and Apple Pencil both are gimmick too, right?The Apple pencil is way gimmicky especially on charging and separate existence. 3D Touch is as useful as an elaborate long press.
