What did you replace the Note 7 with?

[gipper53]

Curious what others migrated to? For me, I bought a new Note 4 from swappa and should get it tomorrow. After using the sylus (which I use daily at work) I didn't want to move away from the Note series even though the 7 was my first. I was not thrilled with the 5 for the same reasons as many others. The 4 will be tiding me over until the next Note (or whatever they call it) arrives, then weigh the options.

I saw it, and the thread is pretty varied in what is discussed. Thought this thread may be a little more precise.

i am on my note 3, which was supposed to be upgraded to note 7. OH well, will wait for another year. Note 3 is still going strong, with zero issues. I also think, their next note 8 will be reasonably priced out the door and have a plethora of features and very well tested for safety before release to attract the lost customer base so might as well wait for it.

 

[ClockHound]

I'd like to know too.

Had pretty much decided on the Note 7. Was waiting for the initial release heat to cool down. And...that didn't happen.

Torn between getting a new 5 with warranty, great cam, but no internal storage expansion or removable flameproof battery or take my chances on a used Note 4. Leaning more to the latter now...much cheaper....

Third option is a 6P, but no pen, no storage and in Canada, the new ones cost more than the Note 5.

The Zenfone 3 Deluxe is interesting, but the camera is meh and it's new, with new phone price. The V20 is tempting, but no Super AMOLED. Dealbreaker. The Pixel XL makes about as much sense as a 6P at near the twice the cost.

Lgv20 for me. I have my note 3 to my mom and my note 4 to the wife. My note 7 is at work turned off until my fireproof box comes in.

I hope they knock it out of the park with the next one. I'm hoping removable battery makes a return. The Note 7 is (was) fantastic. The price was getting ridiculous though.

I considered a Note 5, but for the current prices it had too many red flags for me. The 4 is a bargain right now, and still a very strong device.

If the Note had not turned me into a fanboi of the stylus, the V20 was at the top of my list. That phone looks like it could be a great one, just hope it doesn't develop issues the previous LG flagships have had recently. I still have my G2 that I used before my Note 7 and that device is excellent. My wife is still using the G2, but her battery is starting to go.

If somebody made a 3rd party sylus for the V20 that performed on par with what the Note can do, I'd be all over it.

Everybody I know with a Note 4 loves their phone and isn't interested in a new one.

If the Note 4 had the 4g lte bands I need I would buy one easy.

It may not have Nougat or ever get it, but it does have Marshmallow and Samsung's software has all the features I want/need and the camera is still good compared to a lot of newer non-flagship phones.

The only complaint I hear about the Note 4 is having to swipe your fingerprint.

 

[Raduque]

The Note 4's fingerprint sensor sucks. It's still a great phone otherwise.

I swapped my Note 7 to an S7E. I find myself thinking I should have just returned the Note 7 instead and gone back to my N4, because I didn't really want the S7 or S7E.

S7E is 100% better at VR than the Note 4 though.

The vr experience is exactly the same. I have both and both vr sets. It's the same.

I found the screen door effect with the Note 4 pretty bad, the S7 is the same?

It's exactly the same. Same sw and same tech. Remember, both phones have the same resolution. The s7 may have a higher dpi but it's not really noticeable.

I had a feeling I should hang on to my VZW Note 4 instead of Swappa it right away.

Now I'm using it with the AT&T sim from the N7. I'm still on the fence if I'll try a cheap Chinese phone or not for a while.

The review of the new LeTV phones on this site had me thinking for a second may be worth a shot until I got to "no SD slot" ie... no sale. When I examine the stats of most of the cheap phones that actually work right on US carriers, there's always some blatant show-stopper stat... or the device costs near as much as just settling for the S7 edge that I also am not jazzed about.

So, for now... back to the Note 4. Can't really be too disappointed cause the N4 is still an awesome device.

(I too was never into the 5. Now more than ever I believe the absense of SD is revealed as a blatant mistake, as otherwise I could see those satisfying a lot of former n7 users.)

The vr experience is exactly the same. I have both and both vr sets. It's the same.

Note 4 overheats just while watching 360 videos. S7E doesn't. I got about 1/3rd of the way through Titans of Space before the Note 4 overheated, and the S7E went through the whole thing and barely got warm. It's not very immersive when you get a message saying that your gearvr is overheating in the middle of VR.

There's always something. But being AT&T, you have a massive amount of choice. I'm on Verizon and for a non-branded phone, my choice is pretty much the S7/E, Moto's E/G/X, Nexus/Pixel and the Axon 7(with some caveats).

True, a lot more choice on AT&T. I switched not for that reason, but the fact that Verizon just sucks in Los Angeles right where I work in particular. I'm mostly in a Wifi bubble, but I could rarely use my data if I did need it. AT&T on the other hand- really strong in my work area.

While there is a wide choice on AT&T, I'm surprised that there's very little of it I'd actually consider using. I've spent a couple weeks searching for a cheap phone I'd even want to use, keeping a completely open mind. I know there's nothing like the N7, but I was just curious for something to satisfy me as 'new' for a bit until there's a flagship on the market I *really* like.

Really looking into it, I find that a huge portion of the Chinese phones aren't actually made for the US market, and so won't fully work on AT&T. (many are missing the crucial 1700 band I think it is, for LTE.) Some models that I would have snapped up as a cheap but fairly well-built knock-around, just were deal-breakers soon as I found out they won't perform fully in the US.

So far the breakdown I've run into is:

1. Phone is super-affordable (under $400) has features I want, is decent enough specs that'd be okay for the price, looks like some thought was actually put into the design of it..... ....doesn't really work in the US.

2. Phone works in the US, is affordable... ...has stats from 2014 and looks like it was designed by a blind person back in 2010. (*nothing* to recommend it over the N4 )

3. Phone has all the features I want, decent specs, looks like some thought went into the design.... .... costs $599 which is more than I'm going to put into a knock-around until an actual 'keeper' comes along.

4. (like the LeTV phones) passable specs, decent price, works in US, design I could live with... deal-breaker leaving out something crucial like the SD.

(I keep tons of my work movies and such on my phones, I take lots of videos of my kids, photos etc... SD in this day and age should be on all devices. I find it ironic, it pretty much was standard when SD card sizes were 8GB or so being a 'large' card. Now that SD sizes are up to 256GB and such- and super cheap- THAT's when manufactures drop them living out their 'everyone will stream everything' hoop dream.)

So.. Note 4 for now.

 

[Raduque]

I think the only thing that might tick all your boxes is the Moto G4 Plus 64gb. But the Note 4 you already have is comparable hardware wise, and better software wise (IMO). So it's still not really an option.

But it's only $300.

I was going to get a Note 4 or 5, but I was won over by the "Edge". It should have been marketed as "bezel-less edges". I opted for the S7 Edge for now. I'll sell it once the Note 8 arrives. I think will be the S8 Pen or Samsung P8. Maybe a new name altogether with an earlier release...

I haven't kept up with their tablets. Are they still making new Note tabs? Will the name die across the board?

 

[DefDC]

The Note7 really spoiled me to with the water resistance. I watch the news in the shower now...

Interesting. In Korea, they have a program to upgrade you to the Note 8 if you traded in towards an new Samsung.

There hasn't been a new Note tablet in a while... or any high-end Android tablet from Samsung, for that matter. I think it's a combination of a shifting tablet market (more of an emphasis on laptop-like models) with a concession that Apple effectively owns the high-end mobile tablet space.

Nowhere in the article or the post did it say anything like that.

I never claimed the article did. I asked a question.
