^ agreed. I'm so choked that Im not able to buy a note 7. I really wanted to buy one. My S7 has been such a good phone but now I want something just a little bigger. I don't like the S7 edge because the edges are much more pronounced than they are on the Note 7.

I know what you mean. Once you've used the note 7 everything else is inferior

I know. This was actually the only phone they made that even made me pay attention since the S2 I owned and I swore off touchwiz forever...

Shame it turned out this way.

Don't feel like it's enough on an upgrade over my Note 4, which is why I skipped it

I'm going to give the Pixel a try since my last 3 Samsung phones, all had something defective:

Galaxy S1 = useless GPS
Note 2 = wifi/bluetooth stopped working after 1 year
Note 4 = No more GPS fix after roughly 1 year as well

I do like the design of the Samsung phones (except S5) over everything else of the same generation. Just wish other phones weren't so generic looking

I think they'd need to change name somehow. Because if they keep it as "note 7", forget about taking one of that on board of an airplane.

Samsung has confirmed it will work with local authorities and carriers to sell it as a refurbished device, rumored to come with a smaller battery to prevent it from overheating and catching fire.

Quote:
Update: Samsung Canada has issued the following statement on selling the refurbished Note 7 devices in Canada: “Samsung Electronics Canada will not be offering refurbished Galaxy Note7 devices for rent or sale in Canada.”
