"Overheating" and "losing power while charging" are hearsay news. No Youtube videos regarding those "issues". No temperature mentioned. No details. No complaints from the first batch with the China-produced revised "safe" version. Then all of the sudden there are VAGUE complaints from social media.
I'm getting my safe replacement in 3 days. At least two people here are sour grapes about the new safe version.

Savor , 28 Sep 2016This seems like a bad year to really upgrade.
Note7 - A... moreyeh man!i agree even the ram management issues are going worst in android and its lossing to ios i know both are diffrent os but i got to admit ios on a iphone is made for each other be it hardware or software, but in android its all confusing google decides something for there upgrades and samsung or all the other android oem's decide something else for there android skins .all in all its more complicated than ios which results in bugs and incompitibility issues ..however android also comes with its own share of advantages which ios cud never match but ios is like rock solid and works crazy fast with its new quad core a10 chipset,3gb ram it shatters everything on this planet in single core performance and now even the muticore performance is improved .
Android on the other hand is kinda fragile and have to deal with mutiple socs like exynos, snapdragon,media tek,kerin etc.
but yes even i hate that iphones is still stuck to old screen resolutions plus still hate those huge bezels on iphones .
note7 sud have been a flat screen 6"(wud have been best for spen than a edge screen) smartphone with a 4k screen plus a 30mp camera with f/1.5 or atleast f /1.6 apreture for better low light performance and a atleast a 3600 mah or a better 3700 mah battery to overcome its shortcomings to iphones and stand out in the market.but may be it will happen next year with Note8
I was hoping with lg v20 lg wud use atleast a better 20mp camera with a improved low light apreture but all LG have done is to just put the lg g5 camera on v20's back and downgraded the front camera on lg v20 from 8mp to 5mp ..dont know what they were smoking while deciding that.plus the ips panels are still not that great compaired to oleds...and lg v20 does not come with a dual sim option..
So all in all this year was not great for smartphones hopefully all the oems learn a lession of this year and do something soon to not only overcome but also make use of the big words they say like innovation, revolution etc in there product launch.

Note7 - A... moreHey, finally someone who agrees. I had mentioned this to PARAG B and he/she flipped out and told me not to tell him/her what to do.
I suggested it's best to skip a generation sometimes, and this Note generation is a sure skip.
I'm sure this will get deleted.

Note7 - A... moreAgain, the news about "overheating" has NO mention of what temperature, or what were the user doing with the phone while "losing charge" or was it on fast or regular charging.
This is just sloppy journalism, picked up from social media comments with no specific details.
Go on and search YouTube... No posts regarding these problems with the new Note7 replacements AT ALL! It's hearsay, and likely produced by the competition.
We all know the Note7 has the most features-packed package. S lineup aren't as exciting as the Note series.

Note7 - A... moreWhy would you want 4K screen and 30MP camera?
A 4K screen is useless except for the small few who use VR headsets... you won't see the slightest difference and if will impact on the phone performance.
30MP cameras wouldn't bring better quality. The 12MP GN7 camera proves that lower MP actually have less noise. Sensor size is more important and dual cameras more useful.

Note7 - A... moreRe the Note 7 issues you mention.
Hopefully the battery issues are now fixed.
I'm not sure what lag you are talking about. My GN7 is really quick. Some people confuse data loading with lag. You can turn off transitions which often get confused with lag also.
I have had my GN7 for nearly 6 weeks now with no case or screen protection (ordered some but never used it). I haven't been careful with it because of the recall... i don't have the slightest mark on the front, back or metal edges.

This seems like a bad year to really upgrade.
Note7 - All the battery, overheating issues and laggy software. The entire GG5 body is completely scratch prone.
iPhone 7+ - Inferior camera to Samsung flagships. Removed headphone jack. Resolution still stuck from 2012-2013. Weakest upgrade in years. The sexiest color in jet black is scratch prone and matte black is a smudge magnet which makes you miss space gray.
LG V20 - LG completely failed at battery life again. Same to displays, availability, and asking price. Easily affected by small amounts of water.
Others like HTC 10 is same ol', same ol'.
Wait for 2017. More radical changes with the Samsung Galaxy X. The iPhone 8 will look different. The S8 will spearhead 4K displays and maybe pack 30MP or projector. If you plan to get a flagship, just buy a cheap Chinese one as a temporary. OnePlus 3 and Xiaomi Mi 5s can definitely hold most people over. I am really NOT IMPRESSED by any flagship this year by any company. And not for the asking price they ask when we all know the big changes for Samsung and Apple comes next year. Just wait until MWC arrives next March.

Janettuff91, 27 Sep 2016I bought the Note 7 from Samsung.com. I will NEVER do that... moreJust find one of the die-hard fans of Samsung note 7 in this opinion room, and sell it to him/her. They don't mind as long as it is android and it is made by Sammy, they'll buy it from you. Have a good luck finding a buyer.

Janettuff91, 27 Sep 2016I bought the Note 7 from Samsung.com. I will NEVER do that... moreGo directly ti Samsung Store. Phone call not gonna works with all the busy fiasco going on. They are busy enough facing customer in real life and you seriously think a mere phone call gonna cut it? First come, first serve. Phone call; don't give a f***. Actually you could also replaced it with older Samsung flagship. Not neccessarily replace your Note7 with a Note7. If they say they cant give you refund or other flagship model, they are simply too lazy to go through the procedure of doing it.

I bought the Note 7 from Samsung.com. I will NEVER do that again. Now, I have a phone that is a piece of crap in my desk at work, because my husband won't let me bring it home, and I can't get them to refund my money! I paid almost $1000.00 for this stupid phone! I have called Samsung about 30 times and I keep getting passed around and put on never-ending hold where no one ever picks up. I am so upset. I just want my money back!

I purchased the Note 7 when it was released. I had it for 2 days before I heard of the battery issue. I immediately returned the phone to VZW. 3 days ago I picked up a another Note 7 that was part of the new release. I am honestly not as impressed as I was hoping. I've had issues with battery performance and occasional laggy response. I am under impressed especially considering the premium price tag on this phone. I do however love the screen and size of the phone. I like the edge menus. But as with all Android phones there are constant issues with apps running in the background and poor memory management. I carry two phones. The other is an iPhone 6S Plus which always runs smooth as silk. But Apple is behind times with their screen resolution. Until Android resolves their memory management issues I will stick with the iPhone. I am returning this 2nd Note 7.
