Samsung Note7

[Lala81]

My Note 4 ok leh. Maybe cuz I don't like my pants too slim. I ask the tailor to make them abit more roomy and no problems putting them in my pants. Can't even see the outline of the phone unless you look closely. Anyway, i carry a bag almost everywhere i go so it usually ends up in my bag. No problem for me cuz I have had this habit of putting my phones in my bag long before there were smartphones. 

 

As for jeans, have ordered my jeans with deeper pockets so I can put my phone in my front pockets. But the outline of the phone is obvious and ugly so I usually put it in my bag, or on weekends with more casual outfits, I just have a phone pouch attached to my belt lo. Put in the pocket only when I need to put it there for a moment only.

 

My dad loves to put his in his shirt pocket but it always falls out whenever he bends down to pick something or tie shoelaces.

 

yeah i wear loose fitting pants around the thigh area, so my pockets are bigger.

Also my pants have pleats, so looser.

Typical characteristics of most Android smartphones. Suggest switch back to fruit phone. Even if fruit phone gives problem, still feel more sakti than carrying an Android phone. At least, it gives you more dignity.

 

A bit of off tropic. I have previously used iPhone and I switched to note 4 about 2 years ago.

I love the phone but have 3 key issues. Not sure there are ways to overcome them? Due for phone changes so will decide if I should still stick to Samsung.

1) the phone hangs often and I need to press the on/off button by the side in order to use it.

2) sometime it goes crazy on the screen and start dialling by itself. The only way to stop is to off the phone completely. After that it work normal for a long time.

3) sometime the phone gets hot and battery drains off even I am not using it. Again after switching off and on the phone, it is OK.

Note 7 is entirely based on S7.

Exact same hardware.

Is not about the hardware. Most flagships has similar hardware. Its the user interface. I believe the note series is different from the s with the note catering for the s pen.

It's just the app that is different. What's so difficult supporting a S pen? How can it be more versatile than your finger?

Virtually any app on android can support a stylus. Just like how you can use a stylus on any android tablet/phone.

Just that the S memo etc apps in Note utilise a stylus function to the maximum.

 

The Touchwiz customisation of android is just slightly different.

So you're saying that this customisation makes the android/touchwiz unstable. That's just minor software issues. Granted if they can't fix it then that sucks lor.

My S7 edge already sticks out of my shirt pocket like a sorethumb......putting in my jeans/pants is impossible to even sit down or squat down...

 

 

 

cos it sticks out from your jeans / pants ?

So anyone been informed by Telco that they "qualified" for the new note 7?

[Porker]

I prefer to be minimalistic when out and about. So bags/satchel/waistpouch not my cup of tea.

 

I thought you used to wear tapered jeans with sneakers and waistpouch?

when is SINGTEL officially taking pre-orders for N7.  logged in to express interest liao, received sms, knn since then NSNP.

I saw the Note 7 demo set, although found it look and feel very good, I find it difficult to justify forking out $1168 for a phone.  Nowadays most other brands of phone offer good models at around half of this price.

 

You can likely get slightly below $1k elsewhere. And after a couple of months for sure will be below $1k. Price always high at beginning. And 64GB iphones are much more expensive at launch.

ya.. if u don't kancheong spider, wait a few months, price WILL drop

back then i got my note 5 for over $900.. then 1 month later kns drop to $8ish

 

most likely won't upgrade... the specs look very much similar.. perhaps consider again when the memory go up to 6GB or 8GB.

not all driods.. some give u grief.. at least to me.

a couple years ago i bought xiaomi.. mi4 .. then to my horror it can't even encrypt despite the standard andriod option there.

then checked out the web and there were a lot of complains xiaomi phones have left this function out...imagine that for being the flagship model

 

it was required for my work as company policy required the phone encrypted... after a few days of futile  attempts, i gave it to my mom to play angry bird... and then went back to samsung..

 

it give me a peace of mind despite being more expensive.

Just got a $100 voucher from starhub which I can use if I recontract before end of august. Hopefully can use it to offset the price of the Note 7.

[Sunny]

My S6 edge and now my S7 edge, tried plastic fim/tempered glass screen protector until I gave up and use them naked. there is no technology that can SP these curve edge screens effectively yet.

 

So far no scratches....

My tempered glass on s6 edge so far so gd

S pen is more than a stylus. Note has a few functions that build around s pen. Ui is not customized andriod but act as interface between user and andriod, thus user interface. It is well known that note always have battery and over heating issues while s is better. Im not saying this is true but probably is ui issues given that both phones hve similar hardware.

I've not owned note before. Probably will upgrade to one this time cos uncle prefer bigger screen. Eyes tired 

 

Well let's see if the latest version has the same issues.
