I also have a 1020 that cab really take some great shots but the sensor needs replaced cause if the dying Audio focus.
        I have a decent mirror less myself.
        The S7 focuses faster, is more convenient in controls, much easier to squeeze dynamic range shots out of, and far superior in low light in most cases aside from a tripod and extra long shutter.
        I can even get nice star photos with it. And sometimes a moon setting....though that one is a long way off because it's either just the moon or a very exposed moon in a scene.

        It will be improved one day when I can get a better low light lense too add in. But the selection sucks. They are all either have a narrow fov, are other brands and don't even support auto focus, or one decent offering that is ridiculously priced over $1000.

Apple pie,hot gog,basketball,basketball,Chevrolet,and iPhones are the us pride logo being supported nationwide,while some brands clumsily without iPhones security have been trying to imitate and copycat them that for respecting those imitators,I cannot name them!!!Please search gsmArena top brands to find out about their failure with the highest prices tags!!!In a simple language,iPhones have become prestige,status,and position of a person having them mostly for show off in partiers and the assemblies of the VIP to pose,though I know for sure many of those prestigious people even do not know how to use iPhones!!!Nevertheless because of my following moral guidelines and Apple creating jobs and antitrust criteria,I respect Apple too!Mentioning that even iPhones are being made in China!Justice Rights.Omid12Omidvar never succumbs to bullies intimidations of...gsmArena knows them better.Thanks friend...

But the point is that Note 4 *gives* you that choice, S7E doesn't and to me that's huge. Basically my phone is my everyday computer, even in particularly heavy days I want to be able to have it 24/7 on tap, which is exactly what you have if you carry a spare whilst having a 3rd one being charged on the cradle. At no time are you out of juice even if you try to. Note 4 IMO is the only 24/7 phone I ever owned, since autonomy is half the story of mobiles (the other halF is what you can do with them) Note 4 already won.

            SPEN and IR are just the topping at that point.

            By contrast being waterproof and the good cameras of S7E are toppings as well. I don't think highly of mobile photography (which is why I own a mirror less camera) so it's no surprise to me that Note 4 doesnt do too well, IMO S7E doesn't either, despite doing better, it's miles below a DSLR or a mirror less camera that I much prefer to have with me when on trips or with family. I would agree that camera would be a good reason to leave Note 4 behind but IMO we are not there, mobile cameras are still bad. Maybe in 5-10 years be convinced that there is a better phone out there if it *finally* let me leave my mirrorless at home. But we're not there yet.

            So yes, I can see being waterproof and a better camera can make people switch but IMO they still lose far more important things for the time being (infinite autonomy if they want it, IR and S-Pen which are must tools in a pro environment). Also Note 4 is plenty fast you won't see much difference with S7E in real world performance, probably Note 4 is faster if you root in fact.

Reloading means ... really that, loading assets back to memory, I have never seen it with iphone 7 plus. I *maaay* have seen it with games I opened a few weeks ago or something crazy like that, but in general, no, no loading screeps at all.

              So it's true that you lose some time whilst watching the screen shot, but that's something Apple did to help smoother animations , you can disable animations if you wish and you *are* getting even better performance.

              The actual app *is* loaded on memory indeed... it is definitely not just a screenshot waiting for the app to load (else you'd see loading screens, lose your last position on apps ... exactly as it happens in android, or even iphone when you load like 50 apps at once). It's the real deal...

                  I miss holding a note. Nice wide Flat display and spen.
                  And removable battery with ir blaster.
                  It's speaker was also beefier in some aspects.

                  However. I do treasure the water resistance.
                  And above all else the camera. The Note 4 camera is very nice....but cannot touch my s7 edge one in most respects. Maybe a very smidgen in daylight scenery maybe for the 4mp lead with maybe a tad less sharpening.

                  But contrast, dynic range, instant focus, microphone quality, manual controls, and dramatically in low light.

                  And if you don't have a spare battery on you the S7 edge definitely can last longer.
                  Though with the note 4 either version you can truly root it.
                  Root and rom support for my edge in us is horrible.

                    Basically it means that you double the capacity by carrying a spare.
                    Or if you don't want to, having the capacity to use high quality aftermarket batteries (5000-10000 mah)
                    Also 60 seconds charge time (charge a spare whilst using the phone).

                    It's basically why Samsung phones lost big part of the pro crowd (lost the removable batt).

                    One handed use is more determined by screen size. Their screens are both phablet sized so none really allow one handed use only in limited manner. Having said that Note 4 does have the one handed mode if you really want it (s7 edge doesn't IIRC). So Note 4 wins in that too.

                    S7E being waterproof and tiny bit speedier are both things I've referred to so you added nothing there.

                    BTW being waterproof doesn't much affect the longevity of the phone unless you live in a dusty and/or extremely rainy place as the sealed battery would degrade (on S7E) long before internal components would be damaged by the lack of IP rating on note 4. It's the no1 consumable on phones and Samsung seals it for a reason...

                    Also S7E lacks IR (very important to the pro crowd) and an SPen (again).

                    All in all, a serious downgrade for the vast majority of people.

An Android with an SD card avoids this problem with better design.

                        So in the end the CPU speed comparison tests with a pristine phone mean nothing in the real world.

                            Anonymous, 21 Apr 2017Note 4 was clearly the better phone. S-pen Better use of QHD as it has the bigger screen ... moreWith all due respect to the Note 4, trully one of the best phones ever made, the S7 edge is better!
                            The with is very important not to go beyond 7.5cms, because if it does, the phone cannot be operated with one hand anymore. Smaller bezels, yet bigger battery capacity is also another win that affects day to day use. water proofness also affects everyone, because it shields the phone from dust and air moisture, that are responsible for the inevitable damages that appear in most phones, like the digitizer. better ram and cpu really shows as we move on
