Wow.. looks pretty damn nice. With the new sizes, is there going to be a note series anymore?
Well, looks like I'm keeping my Mate 9 for a while. I originally bought it as a stop-gap until the s8 was available, but I just don't see a reason to bother. Besides, this Mate 9 is honestly one of the best phones I've ever used. Amazing battery life, good camera, not a single bit of lag, and it honestly might have the best radios I've ever seen (it gets a solid connection even when my wife's iPhone 6s+ is struggling).
I dunno about you guys, but LG G6 seems like the better buy... not that I am going to get a G6.
I'd really like to get the Mate 9. It looks like the perfect phone for me, as I've been looking for another phone with stereo speakers and an IR blaster since I had my One M8. Battery life on that phone looks like it would trounce the S8 as well too. The only thing I can knock it for is the LCD display since I really like the AMOLED on my 6P. I think 1080p is fine though even at that size, esp if it means better UI performance in games and stuff.
Where did you get yours? If you're using it on T-Mobile, do you know if it supports WiFi calling on there (doubt it). I wish T-Mo sold it directly so I could get it on a EIP though. I've never spent more than $450 on a phone at once before and it's still hard to justify when I still enjoy my 6P a lot, I could definitely use a lot better battery life though since I game on it a bit.
Anyone wanna buy a nice S7 edge bundle? ATT unlocked. Gonna put it towards an s8
Surprised there hasn't been more talk about the S8.
I'll say this: I really, really hope the next Google Pixel embraces this nearly-all-screen philosophy.
No thanks.
I owned a S7 - Best build quality of an Android phone I've seen yet, but touchwiz destroys that phone. S8 won't be any better.
Outstanding hardware crippled with shit software.
This always comes up, but it simply isn't true. Crippled? Hardly. I've used an S7 Edge for a year. I tweaked it, disabled all the bloat, and put Nova launcher on it. It hasn't had a single issue since I've owned it.
Could it be better? I'm sure it could be. These lines about TouchWiz are more likely parroted talking points though. I don't know what people are doing with their phones that they're coming to the conclusion the phones are crippled.
Stock phone. Ran like shit. I shouldn't have to do anything to get it to run better.
You can call me a liar all you want or tell me that my phone was just "bad".
No. Stock phone with latest updates and nothing extra installed it ran poor, and even games were pretty poor running.
I will never touch Samsung again. Your "could it be better line " is laughable. It's a $700 phone at release, it should just work.
You're doing it wrong. Not meant to be insulting, but if you can't be happy with ANY of the flagships, the problem is you. Seriously, all of the phones are awesome. I have an S7 Edge, S7 Active, LG G5, and use many of the others at work frequently. They're all great phones to use.
The S7 Active is completely stock and is rock solid. The S7 Edge is tweaked with Nova launcher and package disabler. The G5 is completely stock. I would be happy using either. I got the G5 for $120 brand new and it's amazing at that price. That's why I went to sell my S7E. I can use the G5 and put the money towardsan S8 or whatever.

Where was the new G5 for $120?
Horseshit. And it's why I keep going back to other manufacturers who don't load down their phone with bullshit. Not sure where you got it from that I don't like the flagships. Because I like my HTC 10, and my iPhone 7.You're doing it wrong. Not meant to be insulting, but if you can't be happy with ANY of the flagships, the problem is you.

My wife and I both had Note 5's they were amazing at launch. And few months later I got rid of mine for the Nexus 6P at the time. But I recall playing with the wife's Note 5 and man it became a laggy choppy phone six months on. Night and day smoothness difference compared to my 6P then.
And then more recently all my coworkers got S7 Edge's for Christmas for work. I had to help them set them up. And man right out of the box these phones had just very minor micro stutter, was just a tiny little bit of lag here and there. Not much really, but you could tell it was still there.
Now 4 months later, I've asked my coworkers if I could mess around with thier phones for a couple minutes each, and yep the lag was worse and the hiccups more than before. And they're all running Nougat too.
Touchwiz is still a resource hog, and over time it will start lag and get choppy, the older the phone gets. That's not opinion, but a fact.
Stock Android does not do that. And myself with a iPhone 7 Plus for 4 months now, this thing surprisingly is just as silky butter smooth as the day I got it.
