Just read article on the GSMARENA home page.

"The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge became available globally 10 days ago (March 11) and early reports are starting to come in. The new flagships kept the design almost intact but brought back well-loved features from the homely S5 (waterproofing and microSD slot).
And it worked - combined pre-orders for the S7 duo in Europe are 250% higher than those for the S6 last year."

I guess "minor" features do matter.... Samsung, if you want to boost Note sales, punt the GN5 asap and bring out the GN6 early :-).

    AnonD-77443, 21 Mar 2016When did i say ALL GN5 users were on 2 year contracts... ?... moreThe S7 camera is better. A buddy of mine has one and we took a picture of the sunset over the lake. We loaded them on my computer and his had a more realistic look. Not hard to see with the eye without having to go through testing with software.

    I'll take it.

      AnonD-100398, 21 Mar 2016It is a real SHAME for non Note5 users like YOU who are not... moreWhen did i say ALL GN5 users were on 2 year contracts... ???

      Clearly you don't understand how camera lenses and sensors work. More megapixels DOESN'T mean a better image. Once you get past a certain point smaller pixels on a small mobile sensor actually mean more noise and worse images. The S7 has a large f1.7 aperture combined with bigger pixels which is why they are blowing away all phone cameras at the moment.... i really hope the exact same camera is in the GN6.

          BTW Note6 is most probebly going to come with the same downgraded 12mp camera of s7 that is a Real fail right there for me ..if that happens i am for sure going to skip the Note6 and wait for Note7 Or LG G6 :)

              Its not good samsung. Even HTC dezire 816 got android 6.0 update. I really surprised. A low medium range phone is updated and we have note 5 and doing all the things with older version of android. Thank you samsung.

                AnonD-77443, 21 Mar 2016Funny, i remember people saying a similar thing when discus... moreFunny you are comparing S7 camera with SLR camera of 2000. LOL! Don't you know that we are living in 2016 now. There are lots of improvement with SLR camera of 2016 so your S7 is not comparable to 2016 SLR camera! If you are more concern of the camera, don't buy a phone, buy a DSLR camera 2016!

                  My husband preordered my Note 5 before they were released, so as soon as it came in, we were there. I have several glitches in mine. In fact, probably going to see if I can trade someone for a s6. My camera sucks. My auto-correct continuously turns itself off. Once it turns itself off...when Im texting/writing something...it changes words to something that doesnt even make sense. For instance, I'll be texting "I love you"...it will change automatically to "I love yuushdh". Apps "suddenly stop working". I'll open a page on the browser, and will automatically go to a different window visited in the past losing the current window. Ive done all the updates...still sucks. I miss my Note 3 to be honest.

                    Most probably n N6 same pattern will dominate, no major change n design, only SD card and camera waterproof additional, maybe 6 GB ram, no bargain, as S6 edge 65% ram already used always, smart manager reduces some, but next minute same overloaded. Just suffice on N5 for 3 years. Android 7 N will be on board N6, probably not.

                      AnonD-77443, 20 Mar 2016Don't worry, the S7 / S7 edge has the best mobile camera on... moreBut I read several reports complaining from the available internal memory on S7 edge that it has only 19 GB free left from 32GB! the previous flaghips had 25 GB free for usage from the 32 GB! as i don't prefer SD cards I depend on the internal memory & the available version around the world is the 32 GB the same as note 5

                              AnonD-100398, 21 Mar 2016I will also wait for Note7 which will be better than Note6 ... more....and i was waiting to upgrade my GN4 to the GN5... but it was a downgrade.

                              The GN6 will be a massive upgrade on the GN5.
                              The GN7 will probably be a modest upgrade on the GN6.
                              Its a real shame for GN5 owners locked into 2 year contracts... Lol :-)

                                  Tcool, 21 Mar 2016Go buy a DSLR camera if you are concern about the camera no... moreFunny, i remember people saying a similar thing when discussing the camera quality on a 2MP Nokia phone in the mid 2000's.... guess what... phone cameras like the S7 are now better than SLR cameras from the mid 2000s in many situations/areas.... Lucky for users Samsung doesn't consider these features "minor specs"... as you like to call them :-)

                                  Missing "minor specs" like a micro sd card cause result in poor sales.... aka the GN5.
