Samsung Galaxy Note 7 c**k Up

[eugegall]

Surprised there isnt a thread on this.

They have PERMANENTLY ceased production of this phone and will not be making it ever again. They are also expected to offer full refunds for anyone who has one.

Apple will be laughing their heads off all of the way to the bank.

There's lots of comments in the new phone thread. I wouldn't like to have been the person signing that off.

They do this already Euge from people like yourself dropping fifties into their account on a regular basis.

:tongueout:

Hands up, I'm a Apple fanboy.

If only they'd used the space to move their battery connections apart, instead of having a pointless 3.5m aux plug.

I mean, who even uses those anymore.

EFA.
Pixel sales will increase now, especially if it's a toss up between that and the iPhone.

As others have said. I don't think you would be happy to move to iOS if your perfect idea of a phone was the Note 7.

Samsung have made it easy for me. Pixel XL pre-ordered.

You've literally just linked an iPhone!!

Have they put the home button/fingerprint scanner on the back?

Fingerprint scanner is on the back yes. Best place for it

Fair dos.

I couldn't convert though, everything else just seems dirty and foreign to me now.

I picked up some kind of Nokia the other month and it was awful. Would not recommend.

Imagine if the Note fiasco was orchestrared by Google to clear the field for the flagship battle to be iPhone vs Pixel.

Have the people saying "wtf is pixel" not heard of Google? (That wasn't meant to be a joke)

 

[Goodj]

No, just that not everyone cares enough to be up to speed on all the latest releases.

Last time I cared, Google phones were "Nexus".

The pixel is the only non apple phone thats seriously made me think about converting. The supply a cable in the box which lets you transfer all your imessages and contacts etc across painlessly.

Can you connect to it directly to non-wireless audio devices?

 

[AdDaMan]

do you mean does it have a headphone jack?! Yes it does..

That is a very good addition isn't it. Until recently I was exclusively iOS. But having tried Android I love it. Given up my Apple Watch, Apple Music and iPhone. Only tricky thing is finding a phone that has high build quality and reliability. Samsung is not that. I'm hoping Google proper is though.

it does look like itd tick all your boxes. The build is MUCH better, thats half the reason its so expensive. And the screen on the + model is amazing.

Probably because they sold their phone business to Microsoft a couple of years ago.
Microsoft licenced the name, but generally phased it out, Nokia now plan to licence the name to some no-name Chinese phone maker and get into the market of 'landfill android'

What like the iphone 6 that would bend if you put it in your pocket?
or the iphone 5 with a s**t aerial that lost connection when your hand got in the way?

Apple are 'known for their build quality' but only on every-other-year models when they've had the chance to sort out all the issues.

 

[ForceIndia]

Apple vs Google is bizarre. People treat it like football teams "yeah I have an iPhone because my dad did. Apple till I die" etc.

They're both brilliant platforms, which is why they've decimated all others.

Quality wise there's nothing in it with the decent handsets, perceived quality is better with Apple (they 'feel' sturdier etc)

Software wise, don't recall having any issues with android updates. Every single Apple update seems to have some issue (security etc) that needs resolving.

Samsung have fucked it up big style. Shame, as the other handsets they make are very good. Baffling that they can't fix the problem?
