Long time Freeper here.

 

I own the Note 7. Love the device, I plan on swapping it out when the replacements arrive. I will not switch to another phone, IMHO there is no other device out there that has the features i want.

• Phablet size - Samsung started it
• Stylus pen
• Water resistance
• Expandible memory
• Wireless charging - I exclusivly wireless charge at home/office/car
• Secure Folder
• Iris and Fingerprint scan
• KNOX mode for work
• Awsome camera

 

I give props to Samsung & Tmobile my carrier for not dragging their feet on this. Sammy did not hesitate to issue a full recall. I wil use my phone until the replacement comes and then I will swap it out and press on.

 

The smartphone market is allot like the automotive market - you have your fan groups like FORD vs Chevy. And right now these fanboys are out in force having their jollies with Samsung's misfortune. Remember this very thing happened to Apple two years ago.

 

The Note 7 is my 10th Android phone and my 4th Samsung Note. I'm sticking around.

If you’re comfortable & satisfied with your phone, you’re right to stick with it. Enjoy you max 60% battery charge.

The LG V.20 seems interesting.

You forgot several benefits:

• Handy fire starter
  
• Failure of Samsung Galaxy S7 Active's vaunted "Water Resistance" in multiple tests by Consumers Reports tests after huge TV advertising campaign highlighting "waterproof" feature.
• Source of multiple law suits for personal injury and property damage
• Discovery of KNOX passwords in unencrypted text file in easily locatable Library.

Uh, no, it did not. Apple has never had to recall any iPhones.

If you are referring to "bendgate," there were exactly NINE iPhone 6 pluses returned to Apple because they were bent. . . and those were obviously bent deliberately by their owners trying to duplicate the YouTube demonstration. Apple replaced them. Consumers Reports found it took over 140 pounds of force to bend the iPhone 6 plus, but only 120 pounds of force to bend the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and 140 pounds to break it beyond usability, and 95 pounds of force to bend the LG phablet. Oops!

"Bendgate" was a total construct of FUD press hysteria.

The only time Apple ever recalled batteries was for Apple laptops when Sony made batteries started expanding and overheating back in the late 1990s. Apple recalled 32,000 batteries and replaced them when six of those Sony batteries failed. It was the star of the headlines despite over 360,000 Sony made batteries being recalled for the same problems for HP and IBM laptops in the same quarter. Somehow that did NOT make headlines but the 32,000 Apple battery recall did make headlines. How come?
