Quality feel (use of materials) - Note 7 Real Life Review

Rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 feels in terms of quality. A higher rating indicates that it feels premium and high-quality (attention to detail is high, manufacturing defects don't exist, etc).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Feels amazing in your hand, the materials are very high quality. Perfect size, weight, etc. Nice SD/SIM card tray. Nice solid S Pen. Nice buttons.

Son had it for a day. Slipped out of his pocket while sitting in the pickup. Landed on the carpeted floor of the pickup and the back-glass cracked at the edge. Would be a better quality phone if the back was metal, plastic, or carbon-fiber. Glass was the wrong choice from a quality perspective.

I love the way it looks, feels, performs. It's by far the best phone that i have used or seen. I have no complaints about the Note 7, Been using it for more then a week now. Am a
happy phone camper!
At this point i don't think i will even root this phone, I enjoy having the extra security features and all the option of stock rom of note 7 working the way they were intended. I usually rooted to improve the performance and have nano backup but i am happy with performance using Nova launcher and Black themes.. and there are other options for backup. Maybe i'll be a bit bored not having to fiddle around with the options of rooted phone with custom rom but i'll find another hobby!
Previous phones: iPhones, 4s, 5, 5s, and 6. Androids Pantex 920, Samsung Nexus, Note 3, Note 4, Note 5, LG G3

Note 7 Black Exynos version = thje best smartphone in the world.
Just take a look at some of my tests:

Upgrade from S7E?

Hello to all Note users, i would like to verify few things.
Does the device scratches easily? Does it have any wierd lags or slowdowns?
Has anyone came from S7E and was happy with that?
Thankn you.
If you're getting the exynos variant then it'll be amazing, snapdragon is a different matter; I want to swap to s7e instead due to mediocre battery, random lag hippcups and lack of root
I am coming from S7e and couldn't be happier. I loved the S7e but N7 exynos is another class. Better class. Note class.
A few games currently run really slow on the Note 7, Mobius Final Fantasy, HIT & Non Stop Knight. Side from that everything is great!

Hi. Its NOT an upgrade. The Note 7 is a business phone to compliment to S7 range. In some ways there are big differences but this is aimed at power business users or consumers who require and use the S pen.
Its much to early to write a conclusive report on the Corning Gorilla glass. In most engineering scenarios durability will come at a small price of softer materials. If its true that the Note 7 can withstand several falls from 1.5m 'perhaps' some of the previous iterations of the glasses hardness have been compromised to allow for greater durability? More time will tell. Corning have said the Note 7 glass is just as scratch resistant?
As for "Lags and slow downs" There will always be a minority of naysayers who report such things but the vast majority will find this mobile superb is most aspects.
If you own the SGS 7 I doubt the sideways step is worth it unless you need the pen and extra internal storage etc. Its a tad Zen riddle in that the SGS 7 and the SGNote 7 are similar yet very different?
I suggest the only opinion that counts is your own. :good:

Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I wanted a stable, smooth phone with a super long battery life. This is it!
Coming from the Galaxy Note 3, this phone is an improvement in every way.
Everything except durability.
Just got this phone a few days ago, LOVE IT.
I really like the ZenMotion stuff too, usually I'd have to root to get stuff like that on other devices.
I dumped my old S5 for this phone back in August '17... it's been the best phone that I've owned to date.
Never regretted getting it, I liked the long battery life and it's good photography.
For $300.00 its a Fantastic Device
Coming from a Nexus 5x that broke while out of town on Vacation I swung in to make an emergency replacement purchase @best buy.
It was my 3rd choice as the first two were out of stock. I was just going to pick anything similar in size with capacitive touch buttons. No flagships because I hate them all (Pixel 2 & 2XL, Anything Samsung, too many short comings for today's devices pushing up on the $1000.00 window)
So, being in a hurry I walked out with the Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom which I have never even heard of. I see its marshmallow and I sunk a little but in a few days I was on Oreo. Dang! OK!
Then I read of white line issues so I'm rolling the dice but its a late production model and so far so good since 5/1/2018 of heavy use and several updates.
But.......... Over the 5x - Call quality and signal strength , WiFi reception, and speaker volume screen brightness in the sun all CRUSH the 5x. Battery Life Is Unreal!
I have my complaints over the out dated 5x although they are minor to a degree,
Slower fingerprint reader (sometimes)
Sometimes a back button lag (rarely)
Slippery when carrying naked (I put a Xiaomi Skin on it)
After Oreo if a memory card is inserted the finger print reader gets slower.
This is going to hold me over while I wait for the Pixel 3, I waited for the OnePlus 6, HTC U12 Plus, and am not impressed. But for $300.00 in the Zenphone 3 Zoom I am.

Holy sh*t, great post man. I dont need a zenfone 3 zoom but i kinda want one for the EPIC RUN TIME(Pocketnow review) lol. If its served you well and you really like why would you already consider replacing it with the pixel 3? Just curious..

May I ask you to elaborate a bit further regarding the above statements? I believe I'm missing something, as my interpretation of them currently, is something like if I said, "I hate anything with nuts in it, peanuts, almonds, cashew, ect... I'll never eat anything made with them in it. BTW, since you didn't wanna share yours earlier, can you grab me a king size, Reese's PB cup and an almond Snickers bar, on your way back? I suddenly got the munchies.."
Heh, You lost me too. Update on the Zenfone 3 Zoom, it got wet and the screen and/or digitizer needs to be replaced. It boots to the pin screen but is unresponsive to touches.
The ONLY 2 complaints I have on the device is when you insert an SDCard in the expansion slot the phone developes lag, especially when unlocking via finger print. This is with a Sandisk Ultra. And like most devices these days its slippery to hold.
Keep in mind I am a google android & nexus fan boy since their releases. Wanting to upgrade from the 5x I was let down by the google pixel price hikes and the newer ones with screen burn and color issues and lousy speakers. Seems Google is getting into greed and feature hype marketing. Yes they have a great camera but who cares. Not me anyway. I'm a semi pro photographer and know whats going on there.
Samsung no unlocking boot loader and root and android butchering. Overpriced and form over function as in being slippery, easy to damage glass, and the wrap around screens most of my friends complain about.
The HTC U12, Dahum! What a monster of a great device but for the BUTTONS! The hardware and features in this phone are the max but they committed suicide by button! I have handled one with the so-called button fix and its still less than sure footed. Enough for me to avoid the purchase.
Oneplus 6, Caugh! Ahem! Back Stroke! Choking on a little Crow, I have one now 8GB RAM - 128GB still within the 15 day trial and have been converted. I love this thing so far. The boot-loader is unlocked, rooted via Magisk running EX Kernel. The device is a performance beast with a great camera.
Yes slippery glass, I have a dbrand dragon skin on it that helps a little, not much, but better, I use their flip case on the job and its great, I chose it over the 6t for the rear FPS & HPjack. I have ear bud sets I don't want to abandon although a USB-c set works via enabling OTG in settings.
Yes coming from the 5x most any new phone is going to be a night and day performance experience but now my upgrade dilemma is over.

Galaxy Note 8 or Pixel 2 XL?

I've got the note 8 now, thinking about getting the pixel 2 XL. Wanted to come on here and get your opinions. I've watched tons of videos, I loved the original pixel, but I also love my note. I miss vanilla Android though, so I'm thinking about switching back too the Google phone.

Who's going to have an opinion on a device that has not been released yet?
For me it came down to durability. I work in construction, so an all-glass body like the Note8 would be less durable and more prone to breakage than the Pixel 2's aluminum body.
Pixel 2 XL just because of better performance becasue of stock Android.
Touchwiz (Samsung Experience) is biggest crap with micro laggs and big laggs after time ..
Never gonna buy samsung in the near future again.

I don't think you can go wrong with either. It will pretty much come down to vanilla, timely and guaranteed updates or the extras the Note 8 brings to the table. Note 8 is an amazing device and I'm sure the P2XL will be amazing too.
Well, the decision was easy for me. I don't like TouchWiz and I demand prompt, regular updates. Samsung is getting better about their updates, but they are nowhere near Google. My vote goes to the Pixel 2 XL.
Pixel. Any day of the year

The New 8 is a beast, but I'm into Google devices like this badboy Pixel XL 2!
I had and returned a Note8. The phone is ridiculously fast and I have always liked the Samsung skin. However I greatly disliked the curved screen because I found things near the edges harder to see. Also the phone is crazy fragile with the curved glass front and the glass back. Dropping it once would probably destroy my $1,000+ phone. In the end I sent it back.
I had the s7e, pixel xl, s8+, and now currently have note 8, I've grown to like Samsung skin quite a bit as it does have a lot of useful features, but my short time with the pixel I really enjoyed it also but missed VoLTE was I was with att at the time. But now I'm with tmo and preordered the pixel 2 xl, but only time will tell if I'll end up canceling it as I really do love my note 8 but it's frigging heavy! But I don't think the poled screen will compare to samsungs super amoled, and I would really really miss the micro sad card
I've been using note since it came out and I've loved every second of it. I'm curious if pixel XL 2 that I have ordered can bump it out of the daily slot

For me the pixel wins over the note 8 in pretty much every category except for the storage, not offering a 256gb version in 2017 is ridiculous..get with the times google.

I pre ordered my N8 and I like it as a daily driver. We just got root for it.
That said, my trading in my Pixel XL for a Pixel XL 2.
Not sure what everyone's fascination is with manufacturer's bloatware and in contrast labeling the purest android phones to ever be made as vanilla.
The whole idea behind android is that you can do more with it, google simply (finally) made an android phone how it was meant to be made. Hardware and software that work flawlessly together but yet offer so much more that iOS does.
People still want phones that the true android experience such as , quickness, flawlessness gets mutilated by so many manufacturer's getting their greedy little hands on them and pretty much ruin what android is supposed to be. And don't get me started on the carriers crapware.
I have had a note 2, note 3, s6, s7 edge, HTC evo, mottoX.........all of which get glitchy and turn to crap slowly after each new android/manufacturer/carrier update. BUT NO MORE I TELL YOU!
Go buy a Pixel 2 XL and see how flawless everything works for you, very similar to iPhones. With the major difference is still being able to do soooo much more than iPhones.
There is no comparison between google phones and other android using phones and iPhone anymore. Hell google won hands down lol.
Mine will arrive on Oct 24th at my door step. I will post about the experience I have with the phone later.

Every category except water/dust resistance, display size, features, screen quality and wireless charging. ?
I have an s8+ which I really like, but I cant deal with having to debloat the device, deal with bixby and all the other branded garbage, so I'm willing to take a slightly more ugly phone (imho) and screen in order to get more timely updates. I honestly would stick with the s8+ if they had a non touchwiz edition. The general public does not care, and I think pixel will remain niche because of it. I'll miss samsung pay, which is really nice being able to use old machines and not wondering if they have NFC or not.

I have an unlocked S8 plus on Verizon. Last year I had the pixel and switched back to Samsung for the water proofing. I missed the pixel. The camera on it was great and even my wife loved it, she is all about social media and photos.
I ordered a Pixel 2 XL this year because I'm used to the larger screen. I feel that if the Pixel 2 XL is the same as the Pixel it will be a good phone. For me greatness will be a better camera from last year and battery life on par with the S8 plus. I guess by the end of the month we will be either singing it's praise or complaining.

Well luckily for me i dont care about the IP rating or wireless charging.
The extra screen real estate granted would be nice for sure but id rather have a slightly smalller screen with front firing speakers.
Screen quality on any flagship these days will be great...sure if you want to not pick the note 8 is better but Im sure the pixel will be just fine to look at.

The Pixel 2 is water and dust resistant no different then the Note 8. IP67/68 is for all intent purposes the same, the only difference is IP68 can go to 1.5m instead of 1m. Unless you go swimming all the time with your phone I do not see an issue. Wireless charging and an SD card slot would have been nice, but after dealing with all the bloat and problems with other MFGs, I am ready for a pure Android experience and timely updates.
I thought I'd put my thoughts on this as well.
I had the Note 8 for 4 months or so, and have recently switched over to the Pixel Xl 2.
As choices go, it was one of the hardest when it comes to choosing between phones. In the end, the Pixel XL 2 won me over on points, some of which were personal, some of which were facts.
Battery - (It's better on the Pixel XL 2, than the Note 8. It's a fact)
I am a heavy user (Spotify, chatting, a lot of syncing apps + a garmin vivosmartHr+). Unplugged at 7 AM, the Pixel's battery is at about 20% at around 23:30 (11:30 PM). To me, this is spectacular. Leaving work at 6 PM, it's almost always at 50-55%, and that is with me using it for streaming music as I work, chatting with my partner between job tasks, and using it on my lunch break. The Note 8 never gave me this sort of longevity. I almost always had to charge at around...2-3 PM, when the battery was at about 30% or such. The Note 8 never filled me with confidence that it could easily last me a day. Same thing with standby mode. The pixel simply does not leak batter in standby. My note 8 always did, even after factory resets, even after using it on a factory reset with no apps used (as a test)
Camera - (The image processing is better on the Pixel Xl 2, than the Note 8 (opinion). However the Note 8 offers a dual lens setup, which is more convenient for people interested in zoom photography. (Fact))
The Note 8 does have the better camera setup - two cameras are better than one, hardware wise. When it comes to the images that come out of the phones though there is no comparison. The Pixel's image processing is out of this world. My cat was my test subject, and I took pictures of my cat in normal-lit environments with both phones. Samsung's processing made his fur look muddy on zoom. The Pixel had preserved 90% of the texture, as well as realistic colors. Portrait mode is also better with the pixel. Given how I almost never use the telezoom lens, I decided to stay with the Pixel (personal preference), but the fact is that picture quality from the Pixel is better.
Updates/Software version - (The Pixel blows anything else out of the water. Fact)
I care for such things, and once more there is no comparison. the Pixel gets updated far more frequently.
Things that the Note 8 just does better:
- Screen (Note 8 wins, hands down. Fact)
Here is where the note 8 obliterates the pixel. The pixel does suffer from rainbow effect (my unit not to an extreme), it does have a bit of banding tough nowhere near as bad as the V30 or previous generation OLED panels. The black smearing/smudging (whatever you call it, the fact that blacks smudge when you scroll), is there. First I saw it on the Pixel I was like - is this for real? I got used to it by now, but for people who do care about such things - stay away. In comparison, the Note 8 screen is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Bright, colorful, my unit had absolutely ZERO banding. There was a light red tint around the edges (Which I am guessing is due to the curved display), but nowhere near enough to be distracting. The Note 8 wins here, hands down.
- Build quality (Note 8 feels better int he hand - This is my opinion)
Both phones are well built, but the Note 8 is a class of its own. I prefer heavier phones (the Pixel feels a bit too light for me). Holding the note felt like you were holding onto a ton of technology in the most compact of packages. IT was a pleasure to hold. Personally, I don't feel the same for the Pixel but yet again - this comes down to personal preference.
- Tech/Pen (Note 8 packs far more tech. Fact)
I never much used the pen, so I can't comment on that. I won't deny though that the ability to keep notes on the fly is amazing. The Note 8 gives you that out of the box, and is a much better working tool than the Pixel or any phone. Useful in meetings, presentations, etc. Iris scanner was also useful, but I found myself using the fingerprint reader more in the end.
So why did I choose the Pixel XL 2? Well, the bits that the Pixel XL 2 does better were more important to me as a user, that's all. Mainly battery life, software version and camera (remember - I almost never used telezoom lenses in my photography life, but I always loved bokeh photography as well as street photography).
You can't go wrong with either phone. What you can do is tailor the choice on what fits -you- best personally.

Overall love

Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the Samsung Galaxy S10+, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the Samsung Galaxy S10+ is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.

I'm going back to Samsung after a short stint with OnePlus and Xiaomi (OP5T, OP6, Mi8, OP6T) and after seeing the S10 launch event let's just say I'm seriously excited. Pre-ordered the pearl white with the free buds surrendering an LG V40 ending up paying around 595 for it. Build quality, One UI, new cameras, display, FP reader, all high on my list for this phone. Can't wait!
Coming from a Pixel 3xl nightmare to the new Galaxy is a night and day experience.
The cutout is pretty minimal. I don't mind it at all and prefer it to the notch. I also really love the screen. For my older eyes it is really clear and vibrant. Amoled just keeps getting better. The screen is pretty much the entire face of the phone. Pretty impressive and much better solution than a pop up camera.
Battery life seems good, speakers are loud but tinny. They are stereo but most of the sound comes from the bottom firing speaker.
Haven't tried cameras yet.
So far initial impressions are very good. Very fast and responsive except the boot up time. One UI slows things down.
Otherwise this phone is one of the best from Samsung in a while. Build quality is also very good.
The galaxy buds are not a gimmick. I have tried other airpod knock offs and they are okay or terrible. These have impressive dynamic range and decent bass. They fit really well in my ear. I don't like bluetooth or earbuds but I have to admit I like these a lot. Would I pay $129-probably not but I would pay closer to $100. They are really nice to have for free.
When you think about what you get and the trade in offers it makes it pretty hard to say no!
If you can still get the preorder and free Galaxy buds or gift card and do the trade in it is hard not to recommend. It is really feels and performs like a premium device and I don't mean that in a bragging way but to say when you hold it, you can see the attention to detail that went into it and it feels impressive.
I'm enjoying the state of the art 10th anniversary S10+! Cheers
Overall one of the best Samsung Galaxy phones to date. Still wish I could have stock android officially from Samsung.
This is over all, simply the best smartphone ever made. I got mine on the 6th, and have been infatuated with it ever since.
When I unboxed my Prism White S10+, I wasn't impressed. Coming from a ceramic Mi Mix 2S, the S10 didn't feel more premium than my Mi Mix. The camera also wasn't that great, and the phone was actually slightly slower than my Mi Mix 2S running on the very fast MIUI. However, after a full day of using the S10+, my mind changed. At first I was ready to return the phone and get a Mi 9 or P30 Pro instead, but now I'm definitely keeping it. The display, the battery, the headphone jack, the galaxy buds, the design..... absolutely love it, already.
I want to love my new s10+, but I'm not feeling it yet, the fingerprint sensor is not as reliable as my old s9 or my wifes s10e, and the battery is draining faster then my s9+, on the plus side it has double tap tap to wake, which was one if my favourite features on the LG g4 back in 2015
Hoping it grows on me
Anyone notice how much faster the wireless charging engages?
It's as fast as my XS Max (yes, iphone! LOL).
Not the speed of the charging, just the sensitivity to activate. Also does not seem to be nearly as sensitive to placement on the pad. Both my Note 9 and S9+ are picky and if I'm not careful to make sure they are centered on the charger they either won't engage or stop which is annoying.

Feeling the same way. I think it goes back next week! I've lost 15% battery in an hour and all I've done is read on these forums. Absolutely terrible!
Why did you do it Samsung?
Absolutely superb phone severely crippled by the worst implementation of an in screen fingerprint sensor yet. I got 100% success rate on my OnePlus 6T and about 95% on the Huawaei Mate 20 Pro. I was getting around 50% before the update on the S10+ which has now gone up to around 70%. There doesn't seem to be any consistency to it either. I can put the same finger in exactly the same place and get different results. Sometimes the lightest touch unlocks it, other times I have to carefully place my finger completely flat exactly covering the sensor and frequently it will just keep telling me to press harder. I love the rest of the phone but I'm not sure I can live with this sensor.

I first bought the normal S10, and then I switched to the S10 + but since the May update the fingerprint sensor was damaged. I wrote to Samsung Members they told me that with the new update the problem was solved but today I update it and it keeps the problem.
if you have good bandwith, grab this video with tubemate in 2160p 60fps and watch this video with the samsung player.

Amazing.
Such and Amazing phone
My Next Stint with Samsung: Going Great!
Around this time last month my Annual Upgrade was available on my old EE Max Plan with my P20 Pro, i was tempted to wait it out for the Note 10 but decided against it and went with the S10+ instead
In general, Amazing Phone, Exynos SoC's aren't as garbage as they used to be which is great, Camera System is awesome, though i do miss the P20 pro's dedicated monochrome sensor, not the end of the world, the Monochrome Filter is pretty good.
Honestly, OneUI is amazing, its such a change from the old Touchwiz Skins of old, yes it is still a bit bloated but Nowhere as bad as Touchwiz was and a lot of Sammy's Bloat apps are optional now like Samsung Internet and Samsung Pay (Which i cant use because they don't Support Metro Bank like Google Pay Does) and Samsung Good Lock allows you to further tweak OneUI to get it how you want it to look, which is really nice!
Obviously the "big" drawback of the Exynos9820 is the 4G idle battery drain, which i can't account for how bad it was when the phone launched, but from what i've read its not nearly as bad as it used to be.
but then again i can unlock the bootloader so i guess that's nice
overall a great phone so far, and looking forward to spending the next couple of years with it, and many years after that.
Everything about the phone is great, but the horrible fingerprint reader makes me hate the phone. Why isn't there a category for the fingerprint reader?

Great excellent device. But the edge is a big to sharp for holding for too long.
Would you know how the edge compares to the S6 or the S4? Is it sharper than the S6? I have both the S4 and the S6. The S6 is definitely easier to hold for me.
I have the Tab S7+. Sharp edges are definitely an issue. If you want to understand how unfortunate this design choice is, imagine the difference between the sharp and the blunt edge of a knife. Such a huge let down
Edit: I am going to try a protective case
I did try a protective case and it did the trick for me. Check here for more info: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-hand-feel-t4142995/post83544737#post83544737
How do I like this device? I find myself satisfied with what this device has to offer: A big high quality screen with enough processing power to make everyday interactions smooth. It comes at a hefty price but since this is now my main computing device (only using PC for very demanding work) the price is justified.
It's a 12.4" Screen. What else. you just gotta love this!
