Water-resistance alone should not be the sole reason to upgrade. There's the wickedly fast-focusing super-sharp excellent camera, more internal memory, excellent fingerprint unlocking, S Pen greatly improved, and HDR playback

Iris scanning is slower and less convenient than a fingerprint scan, putting glass as a rear material is stupid, wireless charging is a waste of time, sealed battery means spending more money for replacing it when it starts giving shorter life per charge, and no way you can have extended battery that will DIRECTLY power the device.

You'll miss the Infrared remote functions, user battery replacement, and sturdier back.

    Another gigantic phone. Why can't they make a small phone about 4.6", dual SIM, removable battery and stylus and radio (better still with DAB radio!)

      In Next Note Model, Samsung should increse the width of phone upto 78.5 mm, as it improves the reading text on the phone.

          It is not name which people are paying for(in case of Note 7).
          Yeah.It is expensive(almost 950$) but worth every penny.
          Iris scanner is a great feature.Don't degrade it.
          If i had a 500$ or so,i would choose oneplus 3,mate 8 or p9 plus.
          But not lg.

              The only thing i like about Note 7 is waterproof.

                      the best phone of the world. note7 is a lot better than s7 edge and 6s Plus, perfect phone for me, has a perfect Super AMOLED Screen

                        AnonD-367917, 29 Aug 2016Spen using when sketching might only show .1% usage (by the... moreYeah, the 340Hz as oppose to what I'm used to is helping me better with my sketching. I just bought the pro tools of Autodesk Sketchbook, and the Note7's S Pen just flies! The new synthetic brushes and blending brushes are just wonderful! (For the artists out there)

                        The pin-point accuracy is well-worth my getting a Note7. the smaller tip lets me do more details. Hand writing has been more enjoyable. Creating thin and thick lines and airbrush control is smooth with the 4096 levels of pressure control.

                        No way I'm getting any smartphone with at least an active Wacom digitizer (S Pen). If Samsung is coming up with tilt input next year, I'll be getting that - my experience with Apple's Pencil on the iPad Pro is really positive with tilt input.

                        Checking the built-in battery meter, Sketchbook actually uses 6 to 7% for using it for 3 hours. The other battery monitor strangely registers it as .1%.

                              Apparently the digitiser ramps up to 340hz when the Spen is used; that would increment the power used by Android or System (or something more generic than the Sketch software).

                              good job keeping on it..
                              best to learn our new toys once and then happily rely on their performance..

                              even with gps off, the phone pings wifi and gps regularly unless we dig up all the esoteric little places it has options setup to 'keep them active' (even without them showing).

                              having run hidden networks for years, I have seen the huge drain that can be made constantly looking for the 'hidden network'.

                              I do believe our phones will yield better runtimes in a week or so-once Android settles a bit ;-)

                                On pure LTE data, it lasted 7:51H, 5:48H SOT, with 1 GB consumed. Mixed with
                                YouTube, surfing, drawing on Sketchbook, and Spotify via Bluetooth headset.

                                I thought drawing Sketchbook was the culprit, however the chart shows it only consumed .1% if the total power used.

                                It's not hitting the over 8 hours SOT via Wi-Fi. LTE does take up more. That's more than 2.5 hours or 30% less than while connected to Wi-Fi.

                                I'm really looking at the Screen On Time. Note7 seems to have a good job at keeping the battery at minimal drain when it's not being used. Looks like it is giving 6 to 6.5 hours SOT on a charge.

                                That's my usual personal usage scenario whereby I'm mostly on YouTube and internet browsing - not into games. Games or heavy downloads will drastically shorten SOT, and overall battery as short as 6 hours.

                                As for taking care of the battery, maintain the charge not lower than 40% for better life cycles. I charge once it hits 50%. If you keep deep draining, expect the usual claimed 300 to 500 charging cycles. If you maintain the battery not reaching not less than 50%, you can prolong the battery to last 1200 cycles.

                                Now I have to be carrying a powerbank all the time until Zerolemon comes out with an integrated battery case of 8500 mAh.

                                Looks like someone is not getting the Note7 with the amount of rants.

                                  You're right, paying $1000+ doesn't make sense - if you don't need or use the above features. Note7 is currently the best smartphone, V10 is but a shadow - well-deserved $600 pricing.

                                    Given no one else responded to you,.. I am guessing you had an issue with my 'article'.

                                    If you actually noted what I wrote,.. there was three or four paragraphs helping you as a consumer to figure out whether a Note was shortlist worthy for you,.. and four paragraphs giving you 'user experience' / my take on the phone.

                                    Not sure which you had issue reading; but both tacts were reasonable based on what you asked..

                                    Given most people in forums can either be 'fanpeople' of their chosen product, I took a fairly neutral approach and tried to respond in a way that mattered to you...
                                    To actually help you to make up your mind with regards to purchasing a fairly expensive phone.

                                    Based on you sharp response, I feel I overwhelmed you/ or you didn't actually want a reasoned response/ you don't want to hear positivity about the new Notes..

                                    This phone smashes the Note 5 out of the park; and is highly recommended if you are considering a Note purchase! (Simple enough?!)

                                      It has been frustrating as I have written a couple of responces confirming the value of what you have written.
                                      Today; when another person noted the bickering and pointlessness that fills these forums, I tried to chip in that valuable contributions (like yours' with regards to power usage across screen resolutions) get deleted due to a small minority who devalue the whole thread/forum.

                                      Hoping this isn't another one that 'doesn't make it', as I genuinely would like to reassure you that your comments are valued.

                                      On topic of battery consumption...
                                      There are a few areas in the phone to turn off 'inspect networks',.. even with Wifi and bluetooth (and GPS turned 'off') default settings on the phone have these things running in the background.
                                      I encourage you to go through and look for all the areas (I found three or four) where these can be properly disabled. Whilst it won't net you significantly extra time, it might just help.

                                      I find pretty good runtimes,.. though I try to keep the screen off a lot.
                                      Standard stuff like tuning all webforums to use a grey or 'dark' palette can help the OLED screen (power consumption lessened)...

                                      I know you are an experienced user, and this stuff might not help you.. many people do read these forums.
                                      Good work for sharing your efforts with regards to power consumption; i did get to read them when they were 'up'.

And then you're comparing apples to oranges with the V20. If you didn't know, the Note series is for people who use the "pen" and have the extra software multitasking purposes related to the pen. You're on the wrong comment section. Run along to the Galaxy S7 Edge forum if you want to run your comparisons.
