Unfortunately, it looks like the Note 7 has come to an end all
too early. For me this device was absolutely amazing. I got to spend the first
few months playing around on the Samsung galaxy S7 and Edge which were equally
as good, but just missing those few design tweaks the Note 7 brings. The design
of the Note 7 made the device feel smaller and more comfortable in the hand.
The way I see it is that it is a mash up of the Edge and S7. Once I first heard
about the exploding issues and the recall I reluctantly handed my device in and
went back to my Galaxy S7 edge and iPhone 7 Plus.
After only getting a couple of weeks out of this device I
was not able to get an in depth review done. But from the experience I had, I
found that the display on the device had just that right amount of edge to keep
me happy. One thing I got a bit annoyed at with the S7 edge was the accidental
touches on the screen in everyday use. The Note had it in that sweet spot where
it wasn’t that much of a curve and just looked sleek. As for performance it handled
everything I through at it, sure it didn’t beat the iPhone 7 plus in a few
quick multitask tests. But for real world usage it was completely fine and I never
really notice any delays in opening multiple applications at once.
Battery life was also an easy not only did it come with
quick charge but it also lasted me just as long as the iPhone 7 plus, with
average 1.5 days. I personally never let mine charge overnight just in case I
did get unlucky and cause some serious damage. Call quality on this device both
with VoLTE on/off was amazing, the receiver was clear and loud. With my device
running on the Telstra 4GX network I was getting on average Download: 170Mbps
Upload: 40Mbps Ping: 20 these speeds for a device were amazing and everything
was just so snappy.
In my experience camera’s on Samsung’s have always been good
and the Note 7 of course does not let us down, especially since it uses the
same Sony IMX260 sensor found in the S7 and Edge. I luckily got to do a
comparison between the iPhone 7 Plus and the Note which I will be posting shortly.
All in all, I have been happy with the Note 7 and will look forward to what
Samsung can bring to the table next year. Below are a few images of I got to
take with my time on the device.
