Samsung Note 7 out today.

Thing that Samsung did to "fix" the problem was to forcefully reduce the max capacity of the battery to 60% of what it should be...hell of a fix there.

So the new ones have less battery life? Doesn't sound like something they'd want to get out...

NP. It's all good. I am a huge Note fan. I would have waited until a note 8 came out for the right fix. At least people have a stop gap or a sudo fix for what it may be worth. They are fixing the issue correctly. Or so it seems. Time will tell.

I did some searching around and that appears to be incorrect. Samsung pushed out a software update to limit charging to 60% on the recalled units as a safety precaution, but the new units are shipping out with better batteries.

By note 8, I meant the version after note 7...man you guys are ruthless tonight...

...so....debating between iPhone 7 plus and note 7 for an upgrade....thoughts?

I've had a few Iphones. I won't go back. My daughter had to have a Iphone a few years ago. She now wants an Android back.

The version after Note 7 could be anything. I think a site said something about the next Note having a flexible screen, that would be cool.

Go with Android.

I got tired of the mess and went with a moto Z force, happy and it's still a tough old Motorola just like the last 10 phones I have had.

Wife got a iPhone 7 but has yet to use it, will be interesting to see how it compares.

I did see a few drop test and the all glass Note 7 didn't make it vs the metal phones.

I was done with Apple products after Tim Cook injected himself into Indiana politics to advance his personal agenda.
