3 days using the Note7 and must say experience has been excellent
Snappy performance, excellent probably best camera and good battery life ( easily 6+ hours SOT). If I use more wifi connection 7+ hours
The firmware update only makes the phone better
The new Spen and features is simply Fantastically good. Those who uses it will appreciate it
The side edges is less curve than S7e, S6e. Anyway all this time I had always love the features offered by the edge. If you don't like it just disable it

Some negatives - which is applicable to me only:
- phone warm up slightly during my first day continuous installation of app. This wasn't so on the S7e. Daily usage operating temperature however is OK and I don't feel any significant warmness
- Samsung had again as S7e over compact the phone dimensions. I much prefer Note5 size. Some users will love its new size but not me
- reducing resolution is a NO-NO for me as the end result is simply poor. Samsung should offer 1080p downgrade too besides 720p
- the new Settings layout is simply unattractive and quite slight troublesome to navigate through

My phone doesn't has SPen, sudden hang/freeze , reboot issues. Just hope it is so in coming days.

I will use this as my daily driver for at least next 2 to 3 weeks before reverting back to my other MiMax with its bigger display of 6.4 inches. The N7 will be my secondary phone than.
I had use the app Package Disable Pro to freeze some unwanted stuffs - phone is now even smoother . No root is necessary. Restoring back is just a click away

I would rate overall satisfaction as 9.5 vs 9.0 on S7e

Or is there 1080p? I will check it again
Is chosen at battery savings option

Thanks a lot. I did missed that out

Thanks for this heads up. Will test it out

YES - it is indeed damaging to Samsung. The fact only certain users faced such problems most probably point to some poor quality hardware ( probably motherboard). If it is firmware issue , every one will be affected
We hope Samsung will act responsibly to either replace those affected phones or change whatever hardware components in fastest possible time

+1 ; I do agree whole heartedly with you
I am still using the original black tip instead of recommended white tips

Top 10 things you can do with the USB OTG Connector

Got a spare blue color spen from Singapore
Regretted buying it as it won't work at all with the original Spen inside. I needed to pull the Spen slightly out first by about 0.5cm before it could work
The Spen is a tight fit and even with vigorous shake it will not drop out
Bought it thinking I need not pull out the spen each time I need to use it

Yes definitely. Just spray on a thin film of glass cleaner ( used for specs) make the task a breeze

Mate8 for its size only, being a 6 inch display
Everything else Note7 thrash Mate8 thoroughly
Unfair even to compare them

I usually allow all my phones to charge overnight
I believe most modern smartphones had built in chip to cut off any excess current
Anyway this is never an issue for me as I used my phones on average 3-6 months only and then upgrade it to newer ones
Those I don't like I will normally sell it off within 2 weeks

Is Exynos too

Five days and the phone is still superb. I would say is the best Android I had use this year
No sudden freeze, hanging, reboot or exceptional heating up
Those who had unfortunately got "defective" units please immediately go to service center and request a replacement. I suggest you straight hand in your phone instead of taking back and wait for the replacement.
Samsung had obviously failed big this time with such defectives being produced. New users of Samsung will be turned off!
I wonder which country our Note7 is manufactured? I used to see country of manufacture printed outside box on all my previous Samsung phones

On LTE 6-7 while on wifi 7-8 hours
I am happy with these times

Without AOD on

Samsung themselves had already said AOD will drain battery at 0.8% per hour !!

A few days back I reported my ex Note5 Spen couldn't work on the Note7?
I was wrong. One would need to pull out slightly the inserted SPen and the other Spen will work
The Spen is a good tight fit and will not drop off with it slightly being pull out . I had tested it by vigorously shaking the phone

I had read an article about 2 years back all modern smartphones can easily sustained temperatures of 60 degree C without problems. It is only us as humans who find such high temperatures unbearable

NOT necessary must have XME/ This one will be fine too

If you insist phone CSC must be XME , just do this :

1. Launch your phone’s dialer, and type in the following code, and replace the italics text via your phone’s IMEI number. “*#272*Phone’s IMEI Here#”

2. Your phone will automatically pop up a screen, with some fancy codes all over it. Don’t freak out yet.

3. You will notice some codes with a radio button beside each and every one of it. These are the CSC codes that your galaxy device supports.

4. All you need to do is select the one code that fancies you, and head over back to home.

5. Now, your device will automatically restart, and factory reset itself.
