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

you mention about 720p resiolution downgrade. is it the display resolution or other aspect? for new update, there is option to change the screen resolution to 720p and 1080p.
