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

Dearest factwriting enthusiasts.There are enough evidence that for political reasons rather non- interfering scientific reasons,S8 and S8+ are under pre planned illogical systemic attacks from belligerent brands!!Though Samsung special edition wrong policy of allocating 128 gigs ROM and 6 gigs RAM for China,US,and south Korea is an absolute discrimination against the rest of the world by implicitly considering those people disqualified!!!?Also respecting gsmArena review,both smartphones have the highest electronic technology progresses around 2020 areas!!Of course $750 and $850 prices respectively have turned to 3 times in some markets!!!Hopefully gsmArena besides direct supporting of powerful Huawei will have braves to prove independence through releasing factwriting fearlessly and wholeheartedly!!There only one site worldwide that sells its products justly and that is...!.Thanks to ask gsmArena to be neutral!!Also careful of faked site falsely represent itself gsmArena subsidiary and calling itself wrongly mobile.ir,gsmArena deputy sends malware,spam,phish,spyware to ruin users systems!!!In the God we trust Justice Rights.Omid12Omidvar be released for the public interests....gsmArena test and try is now!!!

Not trading in my V20 for this new S8 for sure. After all both are android and will never offer smooth iphone like experience! V20 because of its dedicated dual sim + sd card slot and the secondary ticker screen can make up for S8 edge displays. Agreed V20 is not a stunner in looks as much as S8 but then its more durable. C'mon Sammy we are tired of all glass design, bring on some class leading innovation in build quality to complement the infinity display.

S8+ has lower battery: absolutely correct, GSMarena shows that
Chinese phones are around the 100h mark: again factually correct, check GSMarena battery database
Planned obsolescence: absolutely correct, plenty of academic papers showing consumer electronics built to last a certain amount of time and if by accident they are initially ain't , they eventually regress to norm
Actually I have plenty of time in my hands and I'm widely read. I don't post anything that I haven't researched for dozens of hours at least. What is *your* excuse for slandering me, especially as you present no counter evidence?
