This is embarrassing

Note has been well known for lag. But is it fair to compare to iphone? I believe the apps, though the same, are encoded differently.

I don't think it is users' concern how apps are encoded. It is how fast they load and how smoothly they work. If that can't be achieved... then... what's the point?

Okay, point.

Here's a simple explanation

The problem is the manufacturing of lithium cells. At its current state, it's not completely safe.

 

Unfortunately, lithium cells provides the most energy dense battery in a small package, and still in high demand.

 

People complain about short battery time in their phone, but they don't complain about the small lithium battery size, until it explode.

Ya, that's why in the other thread regarding connecting to a separate lithium battery to monitor car while engine is off is discouraged.

Lithium can explode and is a powerful source of energy for the fire. I remember a bro attached an experiment video how the battery burnt.

I think speed is not the main concern of most users though. Many already know that android not as fast as iphone. But there are many other things that are more attractive on the android side also.

Yes, you are right. Usability and functionality are important too. So is price

Not surprising. You only have IOS that is built purely for Apple. And Android+Touchwiz for Samsung phone. Imagine the layers you have to "bash" through.

Simple.

 

Apple i fruit, just one fruit. Good for your health.

 

Android is candies and sugary stuff, many versions and flavours.... Eat too much = bloat = kam chiak.

 

 

Still cannot get used to Android... so many scans, warnings, adverts, tasks to kill....

 

Coming from WM, nothing of such to worry...

actually Android dont need need to scan de la as long as U be careful of what u are installing ...

 

nowadays the phone is power enough and dont need to root it to kill tasks. 

 

Apply alot of proprietary limitation ......... never like that

I still don't think there's much of a real life lag issue as bad as demonstrated in the video. Though yeah that makes note7 look like a senile old fart.

My phone is almost 1.5 years old and I'm used to a bit of lag. Nothing annoying. Nothing disrupting.

 

I'm more frustrated with the poor reception in carparks and in my void deck hahaha

I think one reason is that the hardware is still more than adequate to run the software. 

When my contract was up for my sony, i was dying to change.

Similarly my ip4 was getting quite laggy at the point in time prior to change.

 

Now my wife's ip6 contract is up in 2/12 and it seems no real reason for her to change. Similarly i can't see any pressing need to change.

I agree. My ip6+ is working fine. Other than hand it down to my wife to replace her even older ip5, I don't see the need to upgrade [laugh]

Plus is better for sure, find the iphone7 too small screen, or maybe I m getting old, haha

Rooting is useful to get rid of bloatware and increase battery life.

Samsung will sue the china man who purposely explode the Note7.

Don't try your luck to get rich fast.

[Ahgong]

my only biff with the fruit is, if you are not on the latest OS, even the old apps will start to fail

that is a bummer!

 

for my Android phone, my old Asus is still on factory ICS and all my regular apps are still working as it should. no lag. no freeze.

 

 

back to the topic of the Note7.
Those that had their phone exchanged, how is the feedback so far?
