dear sifus...i can't make a decision between S7 or S7 Edge or Note 5

i like to take photos and videos of my kids..and always in low light condition (in the house)
needed good image stabilization during recording video (i have shaky hands)

quality of the front facing camera, which one is good?

i don't have confident using S7 edge, i feared my kids will drop my phone..but i would like the
battery capacity for S7 edge, the water and dust resistant (can't remember which model put SD card)..

as for s-pen..i only use it occasionally during work...to take notes or jot down numbers, to crop image and send to suppliers..

thanks in advance for your input.

S7 is basically S7 Edge, only without the curved edged screen.

i think besides battery (s7 3000mAh battery and S7 edge 3600mAh battery) other specs is all the same

haven't buy already worried about scratches for the S7 Edge...forum still actively discussing sp..

S7 Edge's screen is very fragile, once you drop it it will most likely be cracked and the replacement fee is insanely expensive.

S7 would be the better choice especially when you're gonna let your kids to use it. But either way, remember to get a screen protector and case as well.

Been using Note 5 for almost 5 yrs, battery start to kaput and need a new phone with bigger storage. I've always been a Samsung Note series user because of the camera and s pen. But I dislike the hidden apps and the body of the phone will become hot after playing simple games or surf FB.
Hence i hope can get advice on which phone should i buy...

1. Brand: Anything that is good and can last at least 5yrs sweat.gif

2. Cost: RM2000 to RM2600

3. Specs: Good camera, good battery life, large storage (minimum 128GB, higher is better), smooth UI / as lag-less as possible, must have dual sim card slot.
If have 1 micro sd card slot will be better but not necessary. Good network and wifi reception. Good sound, Phone jack (willing to sacrifice if the RAM and storage is good)
Fast charging. Wireless charging capability (if have)

4. Type/size: Same screen size as Samsung Note 5 or bigger

5. Usage: Phone calls, WhatsApp, emails, snapping pictures for work, record videos, video streaming on FB & YT, Google Classroom, Google Meet


Cannot stand my Note 5 as it keeps need to be charged....hence hope can get Sifus advice soon. It is ok if it is not the latest model.

If you must have the S Pen then you have these. The Note 10+ was going for RM2200 on 11.11 but I can't find that deal anymore. Alternatively, the Note 10 Lite for below 2K.

Or you want something more current, then the Note 20 for about RM3K

Without S Pen is also ok. I also missed the Note 10+ promo rm2199

Can u recommend other phone besides note.
