Samsung Galaxy S7 VS. Galaxy Note5

mamalimt · Oct 22, 2016

I basically made this post in order to inquire some more detailed information on both devices. I have done some research and i currently have the note5 and im planning on buying a smaller device like the S7... other than having sd capability, being smaller, having somewhat higher ppi, same battery, 0.1ghz faster processor, weaker camera i suppose? 12 vs 16mpx. Is there any other difference I should know about or am forgetting here? Performance wise which would be a better option? Note5 is truly a beast and if the s7 is similar but just smaller then it will be the right fit for me... I have also been looking into Sony as well but I can't seem to make up my mind properly and thats why im seeking advice and your opinions..

Please feel free to chime in and offer advice.

Thanks for your time in advance.

You forgot the S7 doesn't have an s-pen.

Oh yes and I seem to use that a lot... is there a stylus you could get for the S7 that would possibly work as smooth as the note?

dontpanicbobby · Oct 22, 2016

Nothing compares to the s-pen but you can get a wider tipped stylus that might work.

Damn. Yeah i might have to rethink the whole situation here. I may still get it and just keep both instead. Might be a good alternative or backup device since i really have my heart set on the s7. I like the smaller phones a little more feels more comfortable in the hands. S7 is the perfect fit. S7 edge is much nicer but on the bigger side almost same size as the note so that is not going to go well for me lol. So I'm just going to order the S7 most likely.

I'm liking smaller phones now too. Well, skinnier phones anyway.

Definitely, I agree. I feel much more comfortable with a smaller pocketable device. Note5 is slim but quite large.

I just picked one up today and it's been going good so far. I was just able to apply the screen protector as well. The phone is quite fast indeed and in comparison to the note5 its very similar just smaller. I like them both very much which is why I have decided to keep both of them.

Sorry about the finger... had to cover up the IMEI.

The one I immediately noticed was that it attracts dust/dirt quite fast. It has already gotten super dusty in the matter of a couple hours. I guess you could also say that I was out most of the day anyway, maybe it picked it up from the wind and perhaps my pockets.

Not good with screen protectors at all. I kind of slanted it and maybe even messed it up lol. I should have let them put it on but since the device was new I wanted to be the one to open it nicely and set it up first before applying it but clearly that was a mistake heh. Lesson learned.

Now that you got to open it, you should go back to where you bought it and not only to have them install a new screen protector but the use the RIGHT one! That is far short of the sides making it look terrible/distracting.

mamalimt · Oct 22, 2016

Hahahaha yeah, that was my fault. I will definitely try and do that and see if they will give in and install another and perhaps the right one haha. I was being a smart ass at the time and though that I would be able to do it myself.
