if another recall better wait note 8 and regain consumer trust =p

here's my review after 1weeks ++
new note 7 batter seem more battery saving,
i could gain 5~7hours SOT on single charge compare to the 1st one 4~6 SOT.
but also notice the charging speed is slower alot.
wireless charging is now up to 2.5hours++ for full charge,
before usually 1hours and 30minutes will be fully charged.
cable charging also took longer than usual...
if so seem fast charging technology not working on this new note 7 liao.
*i did switch on fast charging for both wired and wireless*

screen colour on this unit seem reddish to me compare to the 1st one,
on a blank white screen,1st one will be more cold coloured white,
current unit is reddish even compare to another 2 units of A7.
*1 A7 greenish screen,1 A7 is ok, replaced note7 is reddish and colour tone diff while looking from diff angle*
wondering is this can be warranty or exchange?

home button build is bad comparing to last time,
cause it's moveable 0.5mm not like the 1st one size fit to the hole...
when light from above cannot see a line of "long kang"
on the new unit can clearly see thru a 0.5mm line which mean hair could possible stuck in home button

main screen for the 1st unit is more smootie buttery smooth and water drop will stick as a round droplet white replaced unit does not keep as round droplet but water repelable.
black glasses as usually do not have the coating.

USB port still the same abit loose not tighten like old micro USB
Spen so far ok without stucking the tips
fingerprint sensor more sensitive compare to 1st one
iris scanner look crispier on 1st unit while current one abit blurry
wondering is infrared or iris camera problem.

conclusion: please don't another recall due to faulty design or something again.
it might feel great when u can keep holding a new phone every month,
but it's troublesome for ppl while some ppl use as working unit,
transfer again again again and again is extra work and some apps does not fully transfer detail,info,file to new units.

I got the same problem.. my replacement unit is warmer/heats up easily even at min load.. also the battery drains faster
After a full charge.. a few minutes of web browsing brings the battery charge to 95%..
My pre-replacement can last 1 hour for a normal browsing..
I will try the clear cache method tonight if it will help..
But the most frustrating of them all is the fast charging not working like last time..
My pre unit takes just 30- 45 minutes to fully charged from empty or almost empty battery..
But now.. it took almost 2 hours from zero vmad.gif

hmm?
both heat up almost the same but i feel current unit is less heat than old units.
replaced unit is more battery saving for me oh...
haha
charging speed on current unit is confirmed slower.

Just to share
My replacement screen display colours look the same to me. (I don't use adaptive Caz over saturated, I need accurate colours)

Home button is tight and fit, firm to press, no issue.

Battery life so far is as good if not better. SOT 7hrs +-

Clear cache and average temp is reduce, so far manage to stay around 32 -35. B4 this easily reach 36, 38 normal usage.

Fast charging take longer time, same for others as they report. believe Samsung made necessary adjustments on the battery issue. From 6% to full take 1 hour 32 mins shown on lock screen , while gsam battery monitor reports 2hrs.

USB c port is tight ok with diff cables I have.

Fingerprint sensor is faster .

Iris scanner I don't use. From what I read is faster too.

Cheers

usually i use amoled photo,but colour too warm and reddish shown,
force to switch back to adaptive mode.
current unit heat is lower compare to 1st one.
1st unit white color is whiter than current one.
even it shown 100% still need sometime to fully active battery cells.

While u guys chatting whether the display is prone to stratches, I have 2 hair line on the flashlight , heartbeats sensor cover. I suspect it is not glass but only the camera lens, or diff material to it.
*
heart rate sensor using normal plastic only, not glass type material,
but you could search for glass protector for sensor and camera lens on garage sales.

1 quick question guys, any1 regret using their replacement unit and wish to use other brand or happy with the new unit?
*
i'm more happy with the 1st units while current units seem more stable~
so i would want 1st body build,screen then put current unit's internal battery and mother board on it.

1st unit before replace can feel the build quality is better
replaced unit software heating is better

lol,fruit fans droid fans samsung fans sony fans htc fans nokia fans...
whatever fans you are,this war begin decade ago,
won't you guys boring?
i believe most users already begin to stand in their group,
not about what fans vs what fans anymore.
i used to Nokia N70 > N73 > N85 > N8 > N9 > motorola razr maxx > iphone 5s > nexus 6> note 4 >note 7
i used to spen and amoled screen,so i stay with note series doesn't mean i won't change to other...
unless other can make the same spen and amoled screen,
i also used to samsung laggy touchwiz but in the market,
the phone out from the box with most featured prepared also is samsung touchwiz.
