I just know that it will have massive bezels because that's what HTC always do.
There's really no excuse for not having stereo speakers as the fingerprint scanner will be on the back of the phone meaning the bottom front bezel should be left clear. It's even stranger when Google said last year how important the speakers were on the 6P... |

Note 7 Tariffs are up on CPW for me to upgrade on Vodafone., it will cost £9 upfront then, £53 per month rental, includes unlimited minutes & texts, 20GB data, Entertainment like Spotify, VR Headset.
At the moment on my Note 4, I am paying £48.50 per month but with only 7gb Data. Looks like the Note 7 will be my next phone.

Paying over £50 a month makes me shudder, and why ask for 9 quid up front?!
But I just can't imagine myself keeping a phone for 24 months! Is Samsung going to do its finance deal on SIM-free, where you can change device every 12 months? |

Me too (Spotify user). I guess on SIM only, you only get Spotify for 12 months not 24 so that has to be taken into consideration.

Picked up my Note 7 upgrade a couple of hours ago and have been installing apps & getting to grips with the phone while I am waiting for my sim card to be enabled. As I am going from a Note 4 to the 7, I can only post differences that I have noticed.
S Pen - Seems to be a lot more smoother Camera - instantly takes pictures without lag, will try video recording this weekend. Sound is great through the speaker on Spotify downloaded tracks extreme quality. I will give opinions on battery life once I have run it down and given it a full charge. I haven't used the VR Headset yet, but will try that soon. At this present time I love the Note 7, so hopefully that will continue |

Hopefully this will mean that the price of a second hand Note 4 will drop and then I can afford one!

Just spoke to CPW where I got my Note 7 from and they have confirmed that Samsung are finding out what batches are affected in order to send out a recall notice. Samsung are unsure at this time if it is the chipset snapdragon or exynos causing the explosion or the battery. I was then advised by CPW to not use the phone for the next 48hrs, to allow Samsung to contact me to say if it needs recall my Note 7.

Global recall:
https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...-catching-fire Surprised there isn't a thread already here condemning Samsung for this and how could they possibly allow this to happen. I mean if this were an iPhone situation there would be hysteria. |

water proof (or resistant?) stylus would be a useful addition to the S7e. As long as the thing doesn't fall out and get lost after a year or so.
I need to nurse my S5 along (it's started going black screen and unresponsive sometimes) until the prices drop though. Is that usually in about 6 months' time? ) - they replaced the whole screen within an hour whilst I walked around the shopping centre in Webley).Hope my S5 holds out for a while longer though as it's still a great phone. Will prob either go for a Nexus or Huawei next time though (depending on the prices). |

Samsung concluded that the faulty batteries are to blame for the explosions. Samsung SDI is the group within Samsung that makes batteries for the Galaxy Note 7. That is, Samsung SDI produces the battery cell, but the battery pack production is outsourced to other firms. Korean ITM Semiconductor produces the battery pack for the Galaxy Note 7’s that are sold in Korea. ITM’s batteries seem to have been the ones that exploded. Meanwhile, most phones sold in China are going to have battery packs from Chinese company Amperex Technology.

Fair enough, initial reports showed that Hong Kong and China would probably be excluded. I wonder if it's because Chinese devices have a mix of battery packs, or this is more about corporate image regarding a full recall and also to avoid exports from China to other markets.

Customers can voluntarily return their devices for a replacement if they want to do so. Otherwise they'll quite happily let customers keep using devices and run the risk of catastrophic consequences. |

Accept they aren't doing that, and they never do.

So far the only recalls I've had have been for Apple products. iMac hard drive issue and a battery issue on a MacBook. Apple contacted me by email, and I am sure there are ways Samsung can and will too. |

Some pictures and videos of melted phones beginning to appear. I would view some of these with skepticism as people jump on the bandwagon.
