Here ya go.

Thx

So SD820 has a monster GPU and a solid CPU. Looking forward to using my S7 when it gets here.

its so fast! ui wise...

This thing is probably faster than many of the laptops out there in the wild. Of course there are some that will say that the benchmarks are rigged, etc. but the fact is this is pretty much within spitting distance of a Core m MacBook in our pockets.

Samsung browser.

Not as optimized as Qualcomm Browser. Still great result.

WTF! Thats double the S6 scores!

I know this isn't a phone thread but I gotta say the g3 had a better screen.

Suggestion: go into settings and under display switch from "Adaptive" mode to "Basic." This will lead to much more accurate colors for most content as the color gamut will be restricted to sRGB (what most content is designed around) rather than the wider & varying gamut of "Adaptive."

Let me know if you still think the G3's screen is better.

That did help massively but there is still a slight color shift when you tilt the device. Red, green and blue hues present themselves even slightly off axis and the whites are as clean as the g3. It's not bad just slightly distracting.

DisplayMate would like to have a word with you. I find Galaxy Note 4's screen much better than my previous G3 (no red/green/blue tint here). G3's display is not bright enough and often lacks in the contrast department, but then again I'm a fan of vivid AMOLED displays (left mine @ Adaptive). G4 is much better though. Just my personal preference.

In my opinion the the whites are better on the g3, the blacks are massively better on the Samsung panel.
As for the g3, I never had a problem with brightness, I watch videos in sunlight with Max brightness all the time.
I wonder how well the Samsung will do.

I stopped by Best Buy today to play w/ the S7 again and you're right, there is slight color shift when you tilt the device.

However, comparing the S7 to my current iP6s, there is absolutely no comparison -- the S7's display blows the iP6s's away.

It's sad how far behind Apple has fallen in terms of display technology. They'd better catch up quickly because when I was at Best Buy, everyone was crowded around the table of S7/S7 Edge phones, not a single person was bothering to look at the iPhones.

Things are usually reversed around September, from what I've seen.

We'll see, I would hope so. The current iPhones just feel dated compared to the S7

Just human nature - the exterior design has been around without change for a year and a half. It's hard to believe it came out in Sept 2014 honestly. While we all know the internals are significantly different, it's hard to get emotionally excited when you've seen it a thousand times and practically everyone has one.

I really hope the iPhone 7 is a fresh take and not just an evolution of the current design.

 

[Ottonomous]

I love how this is the maturation of all signature Samsung technologies, from the silicon to the surface...Samsung is obviously preparing to counter the massively overhauled Iphone (7) next year with a heavily revised S8...while the same design philosophy brings dividends within upscale midrange phones (A3-A9).

Is there any possibility that the Note 6 will receive an updated processor, or the same 8890? Especially considering that the chipset is at it's maximum potential...

Worth the read. Includes Exynos 7420 results, but unfortunately they didn't test the new 'Exynos 8 Octa' Galaxy S7.

XDA Developers: S7 Edge Throttling & Thermals: Stress-tests Comparing SD820, 810, 808, A9 & Exynos 7420

Now that the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge have arrived to consumer hands, we can finally begin exploring the nature of the Snapdragon 820 thanks to our first set of tests.

While no amount of single-device testing will reveal the true nature of the 820, we can, at the very least, see how the 820 behaves inside the S7 and S7 Edge, and thus draw conclusions for the resulting performance of this particular package. Because we are testing the Snapdragon 820 confined in the S7 Edge and its waterproof body, and altered by TouchWiz and Samsung configurations, do not extrapolate our results: these scores and temperatures do not reveal how the 820 will behave in every flagship from now on, as many confounding variables will be different.

I'll add, garbage battery life.

On the S7?

 

[monstercameron]

On the S7?

Yeah, just went through 20% battery in 45mins watching YouTube over LTE. Started the day at 5am with 88% and around 10am had only 20% left. And the phone is constantly warm.

Might be defective.

That sucks dude

Tell me about it, massive buyers remorse right now. Maybe I should have cheaped out. The battery still drains when plugged into a 2.5w USB port when streaming Pandora via WiFi and it gets warm.

 

[ChronoReverse]

What does it say in the battery usage screen? The first run can be bad but it still seems like something is off with your unit (which carrier?).
