Yes and no. I'm not sure how I feel about this.
Business 101: Lowest bidder wins (barring afirmative action).
I wouldn't mind after owning the nexus. They did well. Just need to get the power draw on amoled down considerably. And Google should make an option for their apps to have black backgrounds to further optimize power draw.

Fixed that for you.
It is typically quality hardware, despite how many of us feel about how locked down their Samsung branded phones are.
The big question is: signal drop, hardware related, fixed with hacking, or not hardware related?

This and I wouldn't be shocked if manufactures aren't falling over themselves to be the next Nexus. Anyone seen any official sales stats on these things (I already know the answer)?

No, but aside from them being a popular item here, I can imagine overall they are abysmal.
I'd love for Samsung to make the next Nexus! I've owned the previous 2 and they are outstanding phones, I love how easy it is to root and Odin mode is a great way to fix potential problems. So go on Sammy give me a Jelly Bean Nexus based of GSIII hardware!

Thank god! Although Samsung hasn't fully resolved all the issues with hardware, I prefer them over mototola (who does not have sleek and sexy in their vocabulary) and HTC (who I've never seen build a high quality phone)
Well, if that is true, I for one will be very disappointed. I've owned both the Nexus One, and the Galaxy Nexus and, despite me liking the GNex, I certainly don't like:
1) It being made of plastic (vs. metal for the N1).
2) the car dock is not out yet -- it has been 5 months now with no dock, and given that I switch phones once a year, I may not even be able to get it...
I had a much better experience with HTC on the Nexus One.

Well, that's your opinion. I thought the Nexus One was a high quality phone -- certainly the highest quality one I've ever owned.
Having owned in the past 18 months a sgs4g, several lg g2x's, 2 sensations, an amaze, a sgs2 and a gnex I find Samsung to have the best build quality even with all the plastic and the phones just seem to run better in my opinion.

not sure how i feel about this one...i have a few samsung phones and its hit or miss :/
With Motorola and HTC going the way of non-removable batteries, I still prefer Samsung in that aspect.
No surprise here. Samsung deserves it.
I have mixed feelings also.
Personally, I want to see another manufacturer's take on it. But also, I want Samsung to really devote some dedication to these Nexus devices. It just seems they hold back (maybe to give the better hardware to their Galaxy S line?), or maybe this is Google's fault, or both Google/Samsung's fault.
I don't know -- something about Samsung feels like they don't give it their all with the Nexus line.
They build it according to Google's specifications.
They don't "hold back" unless asked to.
I doubt they're supposed to. It is more about showcasing the software than the hardware. And I am sure Samsung doesn't want to undercut themselves by putting out a bleeding edge phone. Not even the iPhone or ipads are bleeding edge. And Google wouldn't want to infringe on the manufacturers anyways.

If they wanted cutting edge and build quality they should've chose Sony or something...The Sony Xperia S is truly a gorgeous phone.
But i guess i'm ok with Samsung...just pls, NO MORE AMOLED. IPS+ would be awesome.
They picked samsung because despite owning motorola cellular now
picking themselves would be nepotism and they are already having a hard enough time
Keeping Samsung and Company from going out and rolling their own operating systems
in protest. Which was openly being discussed by HTC, Samsung, Sony and others in relation to awaiting Google's annoncement
on how they are going to proceed with operating Motorola's phone division.
They don't want to alienate their partners. because google is in the service/metadata/advertising business. Android fails if they alienate their partners by competing against them in their own market.
Google only bought motorola for patent protection in the Patent Cold War.
IMHO a Nexus slider with tilting screen like the HTC Arrive or Touch Pro 2 would be the best nexus ever.
I would like Vertu to make the next Nexus.
I hope they step away from plastic casing. The Gnex feels like a toy compared to the One X.
Engaget is reporting a world wide recall of the Note 7 because of exploding batteries.
Hopefully they will also deal with the Gorilla Glass 5 problem too.

It seems a full recall of all phones sold. Hopefully they also replace the Samsung screen protector I bought with the phone
An official statement by Samsung.
"Statement on Galaxy Note 7
Samsung is committed to producing the highest quality products and we take every incident report from our valued customers very seriously. In response to recently reported cases of the new Galaxy Note 7, we conducted a thorough investigation and found a battery cell issue.
To date (as of September 1) there have been 35 cases that have been reported globally and we are currently conducting a thorough inspection with our suppliers to identify possible affected batteries in the market. However, because our customers' safety is an absolute priority at Samsung, we have stopped sales of the Galaxy Note 7.
For customers who already have Galaxy Note 7 devices, we will voluntarily replace their current device with a new one over the coming weeks.
We acknowledge the inconvenience this may cause in the market but this is to ensure that Samsung continues to deliver the highest quality products to our customers. We are working closely with our partners to ensure the replacement experience is as convenient and efficient as possible."
Lets see what happens.

Thank goodness I haven't gotten my unit yet!!! Long business trips do have their benefits.
One interesting takeaway from the CNN story's the quote from the President of Sammy's Mobile Communications about how much the recall's going to cost: "it is a big amount that is heartbreaking." Looks like they're going to have huge write-offs.
Maybe they'll have to bin all the batches they're recalling and the suspect ones in inventory. Then there's the issue of lost sales and some people not wanting to buy even later batches because -- well, because you never know. I mean -- Google Pixel Phone Plus (or whatever it's called) -- here I come!!!
The problem with these metal and glass devices is they can't just open these things, replace the batteries and re-ship them. Those glass backs will inevitably break during the process. The colored foil behind the glass is also going to have to be replaced. Then there's the waterproofing...
I wonder if it's simply a battery flaw or a design flaw that causes the device to overheat under certain circumstances. Global recalls like this don't just happen unless there's a very serious issue, regardless of what Sammy's lawyers wrote in their official release. I've been buying smartphones since the early days and this is the only time I can remember a recall of this scale happening.
While it's nice that Sammy was so quick to address it, it's a damn shame because the Note 7 was their best device yet.
The irony is that if Sammy had insisted on keeping their plastic designs -- the same designs we crucified them for -- or maintained removable batteries in metal-framed phones (hello Note 4!) -- this could've been addressed with in-store battery exchanges. Again, that's assuming it's not a design flaw.
And I have such a good device too. None of this user created lag or battery drain.... Sigh.

Interestingly me and a friend of mine have not had any of the issues mentioned here "yet" battery life is amazing and no boot loop. And we were also part of the pre-order batch.
I demand compensation for my Temperglass screen!!... everything else i could backup and transfer easily... i still have to fine tune a few other setting that dont let me "backup setting"
After this Samsung's recall statement will be known worldwide, IMHO the Note 7 reputation, confidence and appeal for the customers will be heavily affected....
Therefore I personally expect the announcement of the release of a new revised model, for example a Note "7s" with a Snapdragon 821 and 6 GB of RAM, very soon, just before Christmas time, to compete with new Apple's and Google's smartphones.
what if mine is ok ?

That's actually a great point. I love my phone, it's performing perfectly, but you don't just do a worldwide recall because a couple people used a bad charger. They were able to recreate it.
It is sad, this is undoubtedly the best phone Samsung has ever made and it's going to be a financial and PR disaster. On the other hand, those of us who stick with it will probably get a 2nd promotional item haha.
Really sucks but yeah hopefully they will give us something free for the inconvenience or some money for the screen protectors everyone has already purchased and put on the phone...
Feel bad for them though and all of the bad pr. This is an amazing phone and I love it. I guess they will be taking quality control much more seriously in the future (they should have originally since it is the most expensive phone ever).
The phone is still to be released in the UK, was due to be released today I think. The recall will probably delay that by quite some time.
Hopefully Samsung can narrow the problem down to a specific set of serial numbers. A global recall is very unusual, and does perhaps point to a design flaw rather than the batteries.
Apple will be enjoying this...

Today was the official date, but Carphone Warehouse gave me my N7 on Tuesday!
It's great that they're doing it but also.... uuugh, why
Also, can you imagine the after work drinks over at Apple today?
DITTO on the Screen Protector issue!
It was so dang hard to find my genuine samsung screen protectors, not to mention the cost. It came with two but used them both already since both my wife and I have the same phones. Right after I finalized my purchase from ebay (the only US seller I've found period), the guy jacked the price from $16.99 to $99 and then to a clown-shoes $299. The samsung SP is actually curved and, IMO, feels great. Hopefully I can get them to pony up a replacement set.

Saw the N7 for the first time in a CPW shop recently and I was surprised by how fragile it seems, the sort of thing you might keep in a little pouch for safekeeping. I've used a N4 for two years now. Take it everywhere with me, using Osmand GPS maps, the camera and pen most of all. Have it in an ordinary Labato fold-stand. By comparison, the N7 looks more like a pretty toy. Can't imagine it roughing it on land or sea.
I'm not against the N7. I ordered one mid-Aug but cancelled when delivery of non-Sim version was held back till end Sept. The bursting battery saga means I probably wouldn't get one until mid/late Oct. I know now that there are some dev restrictions that might not be overcome; I believe it is still impossible for apps to write to Sd cards with Marshmallow. The fact that the battery is locked away doesn't help either: pulling the batt is the best way out of a soft brick.
It's frustrating. Had looked forward to the N7 as a real practical advance on the N4, but I feel now that it was a vanity project that went badly wrong for Sammy. What's the point of a glass back, for goodness sake? Let's hope they have better sense when it comes to designing the N8.

The glass back is hardly new to the Note 7. It's also on the S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+, Note 5, S7, and S7 Edge.
Well, what drove them to this is all the complaints of Plastic. Plastiky feel...yucky plastic...etc...etc...
I drove off with my note 7 on the back of my truck. Later found it face down on asphalt. Has one tiny scratch on the screen. I'm running a ringke slim case with no screen protector. I do have some Samsung screen protectors for when tje new phones come out.
To answer the question in the title "Has Note 7 lost some of its glam?": No.
If anything it has become more desirable in my eyes since the iPhone 7 is such a lack luster update. Best looking smartphone available by a large margin.

Ironically you sound like my brother from another mother. I had pre-ordered the Note 7 from CPW only to cancel and am waiting on the new stock. Current owner of a 2 year young Note 4.
Walked into CPW and picked up a display model of the Note 7 for the 1st time yesterday. She's a beaut! No scratches although there were some on the S7. (Off topic, but wasn't even aware of the S6 Edge Plus, a bigger phone!)
What really has me suspicious is this locked in battery. OK, the phone is waterproof,but the safest way in emergencies such as soft brick (bootloop, recovery hard freeze) is the ability to pull the battery out.
I am still eagerly awaiting the Note 7, but some of the rumors for next year's phones are mind blowing! S8 with bendable screen, 4k, etc, etc. And not being an iPhone user ever, but theirs is the 10th anniversary edition all glass casing. Maybe it is wise to be patient here...

Steve Jobs would never have allowed that.
That's the problem with these iconic CEO 's passing away. Their new replacements have a name to make for themselves and with their ego there's no holding back.
By the way, as a Graphic Designer, I grew up on Apple Mac, but no see through the glitz and glamour. I'd rather run an affordable machine on Linux that fork out (bi-)yearly for something that's constantly purposely holding back on features that are used to sell the next year's upgrade model.
Personally, I find the SGN7 more appealing than ever. I look forward to be able to buy the phone as soon as it arrives to Colombia. I managed to buy an international version in the US that I returned unopened and got a full refund.
I placed a Pre-order with Samsung Colombia in late August, but a week ago they called me saying that my order was cancelled. They said that they were going to ship my gift (gear fit 2) at no cost to me and it would arrive by September 19th. At least I got a free watch. Well actually we got two because I had ordered a phone for my wife too.
It's heartbreaking what is happening to such a beautiful phone. What a shame.
I've been using it for about a week and it's great. The only issue with the appearance is finger prints but I literally couldn't care. The edge screen makes the phone for me, now whenever I use another phone, it feels cramped and the bezels look huge. The screen hasn't scratched at all by the way, it's just as durable as any another phone...
Also you said "Can't imagine it roughing it on land or sea.", well no? A phone is a mini computer, not a ball. Yes, it's considered a little fragile but as long as you use the phone as a phone, it's fine.
So to answer your question, yes it still has it's glam + it feels great to have something that looks unique and a phone that people ask you about.
I had ordered a G935F from a large US Retailer - it was supposed to be released in September and then this whole Battery thing happened. Today, I got an email from the Retailer saying the order had been cancelled and the reason given was that the Note 7 had been discontinued.
I have a feeling that this is the final word - Samsung will be annoucing that the Note 7 is discontinued and anyone that has one will be encouarged to return it for an exchange or a refund. (or course they could try to simply replace the existing notes that are out there with a replacement that has a new battery, but I don't think they will want to risk the Liability. If anything happens with a new NOTE 7 released after the problems the first one had, it would put Samsung out of business. Their best bet (and what I think has happened based on the email I got today) is that the Note 7 will be killed off and we will have to wait for the NOTE 8 (which would probably - hopefully - be released simultaneously with the S8 next year.
of course this is mostly conjecture founded on the wording of the email I received from that Retailer - too bad, I had really wanted to get a Note 7
It would make no sense to put out Note 8 along with S8...the sales will just divide among those 2. The question here is not if Note 7 will sell (it already lost the battle), the question is who else, appart from Samsung fans, will buy S8 and/or Note 8. And yes maybe they should discontinue Note 7...but they won't...it would mean they admit defeat (this year). They could though do something for the fans (discount or..something). Lets just wait until first numbers coming from Apple hit the media...I am hoping their increase in number of phones sold is under 20%...I wouldn't be able to stand the grin on my friends owning crapples

Yes, I noticed that the N7 is often described as a phone. It's not; it's a tablet/phone. I'm not a phone person (keep it short!) so the Note4 is for me an outdoor device (hence my question re N7's - a phablet - glass back). And a really good one at that.
mocsab: you might well be right. Goodness knows what that will do for Sammy's rep. It would be a huge let down for so many people.
Samsung Galaxy Note 7
:fingers-crossed:
I'm old, people my age don't consider phones glam, any phone. For me they're tools and the Note 7 is still the best tool on the shelf until the next thing comes. The price of course is supported by nothing more than the vanity of people who think some hardware in a glass/meta/ (insert alleged premium material) shell that they neither see nor touch in its cheap TPU case is somehow better than the exact same hardware wrapped in a plastic shell and then covered with a cheap TPU case. But whatever, being old I can afford the best, that would be the Note 7 in the phablet space. It was yesterday before batterygate, it will be tomorrow after batterygate. It appears right now it will remain so until the spring since the Nexus/Pixel looks to be a little weak this year.
I used my Note 7 for a couple weeks before it started running warm and stuttering. Up until that point it was nearly flawless, easily the best phone I've ever seen. I dropped it the first day (caseless of course) about 18" straight onto concrete and it didn't even get a scratch. I can't wait to get another one, as much as I liked my Note 4 I'm not particularly happy to be back on it. The 7 is just so much faster and more responsive.
I say nearly flawless because I don't like the non-removable battery. Also I'm not a huge fan of the edge screen, but the sharp angle they used really was an improvement on previous edge phones. I'd prefer if the bootloader wasn't locked, but my reasons for rooting and custom ROM's have really diminished as the phones get faster and more polished.
As many are hearing, the Note 7 production has stopped. Reports of the line being axed have surfaced and trending on major news site, the BBC has this to say:
Samsung said it has stopped making Galaxy Note 7 smartphones due to consumer safety concerns.
The company is expected to permanently end selling the device, a person familiar with the matter said.
Samsung did not comment further.
Assuming the Note 7 is indeed axed, what do you think this means for the Stylus?
My opinion is that Samsung will steer clear of anything Noteesque for quite some time, size aside, something that makes a Note is of course the Stylus, is it likely to die with Samsung? Interested to hear your thoughts...
They will already be too invested in note 8 to kill it as well. They have already gotten patents for components in it, and expected release as early as 3/2017.
Problem is, the Note 4 (only second hand) and 5 (only grey import) also aren't available anymore, so if my Note 3 would die now, I have nothing to replace it with.
I don't agree that they will stay away from the Note platform. That would be handing lots of sales over to other makers, as I'm sure many stick with Samsung for the stylus in a Note sized product. I do hope the next one is a polished, finished product, though.
Would you agree that many buy the Note 7 regardless of the Stylus? I appreciate many buy for the feature, but I have seen so many people on XDA saying they can switch easily to a different device because they simply bought the Note 7 for the spec.
If those same people are a large part of the user base (Samsung would know I guess by Stylus usage statistics perhaps?) then launching a larger than the S7 Edge device under a different name could bode well for them?
It could be that nearly all Note users buy for the stylus, I'm just putting it out there.
I have no idea on how many don't use the stylus. Certainly if someone does not use it, it'd be easy to make different choices. But I don't really see the stylus as the issue here. It's the battery.
What to do now? S7E - don't rly like it after touching the NOTE7. Wait for S8 is too long for me. I still use S4 that is dead (at least battery is new) lol. Other brands don't have good camera like N7 or S7E... Not to start talking about accessorys i bought for N7....

They used that stylus-statistic to slide the S6Edge+ down our throats and not bring the Note 5 to Europe. The S6E+ tanked and is now being sold with 200+ euro discounts to get rid of excisting stocks.
The Note series is the only phone with stylus. You have nowhere else to go. So switching now is an option, since there are zero new stylus phones on the market at the moment.
I hope they do not kill the stylus.
I love the stylus specially when i am at college.
It allows me to write notes or draw sketches and memes and i am arch student. To me a phone without a stylus looks awkard.. They propably will change name of the note brand by next year or dit h the stylus i hope the later does not happen.

Still on Note 4. I think that I have used the stylus once. I keep forgetting it's even there. I bought the Note 4 because it is a good, large, solid phone with a big screen and a REMOVABLE BATTERY. That's the reason that I never went to the Note 5 or Note 7. There are two Note 4s in my family that are just under two years old. I've already had to replace the battery in one because of it not holding a charge, boot loops, etc. To me, the Note 7 was the best of the sealed phones and the only one that I would even bother considering.
What? you thought that for years, people bought a Note just because it has a slightly bigger screen than the S series?
The stylus IS the Note. It's the reason why Samsung had 2 Flagship phones instead of 1. Dude, the Stylus is here to stay, period.

My opinion is that Samsung will steer clear of anything Noteesque for quite some time, size aside, something that makes a Note is of course the Stylus, is it likely to die with Samsung? Interested to hear your thoughts...

I don't think they'll let it die. Let some time pass, bring it out again and maybe even find a new name for it, that's it.
People forget fast anyway, you can watch that in politics every day...
What do you think would happen if that problem arose with a Galaxy S phone? No galaxies any more?
TL;DR: Samsung is a monstrosity of a company. It's for sure a big inconvenience for them, but it won't break their neck and influence them too much.
Think of what would happen if that same thing happened to LG...
And you can be quite sure that all future Samsung phones will be non-exploding a f
EDIT: Whoa, I am astonished of how many people claim to switch to an iPhone....
Have fun with the limited OS and that cancer of software called iTunes
P.S. iphone 7 + is a brick compared to N7... I hate Samsung for giving up on Note 7...

I replaced my Note 7 with an IPhone 7 Plus through Verizon, the 256 GB versions are available now in several colors & mine is arriving tomorrow!

Sure enough they are available... Idk how much they are gonna charge me though. For me to upgrade early to the note 7 they made me spend 200 and send in my s6. They are probably gonna make me pay the tax and put $100 down so it barely increases my monthly bill.. Any advice?

I don't use iTunes I use Spotify premium for all my music.
If the oneplus 5T/6 is the same as the oneplus 5, just with no bezels and waterproofing, would you buy it?
No bezels and waterproofing makes it not the same. With a new screen means no jello effect so it would definitely make me purchase one again. I'd hopefully a bigger battery and 1440p screen as well.
No is too big for me.
I am already already with the 5.5 inches overstrained but as far as first will be with the remain.
Nope, I like the bezels and the current design of the O5.
Well if oneplus 5T comes out then Op6 is coming in 6 months or so its not worth upgrading from Op5 to Op5T.
Nothing out today is worth upgrading to. Maybe next year.
If not more expensive than the OP5, there's a lot of chances. (not owning a OP5 currently, wanted to but it's out of stock)
Wow, that's not even a question I'm buying the 5t as soon as I can click submit on the order page. Then I'll sell my 5 later, then when the 6 drops I'm gonna attend early drop & hopefully I can decipher the code quick enough to get the big bundle half off. So yes, I'm getting any phone, that's a upgrade, that oneplus releases. I'm on iT, it's so easy to resell a OnePlus phone too, after you buy your upgrade sell the old one when you find a good buyer, for example I bought the 5 first, then listed my midnight black 3t for 420 on Craig's list 8 days later it sold, Same with my oneplus 2 I sold it for 150 3 months ago. OnePlus is the business. Their phones are popular so people buy them used all the time, you can have your cake & eat it to. Get the 5t & the 6 Bros
Its a waste of money if you have a 5 already. The hardware will be exactly the same minus a different design.

One Plus was previously caught making phony posts on various sites to create enthusiasm for upcoming phones. Does this post seriously sound legitimate to anyone? Not only does this sound like a corporate commercial but posts almost identical to this one turned up on XDA a couple months ago when rumors of the 5T first surfaced.
If there is an OP5T the resale value of the OP5 will likely drop by 70-80% overnight because most people aren't going to want to purchase an OP5 with a defective display if there is an OP5T without the defect. Anyone who thinks this phone will have good resale value is nuts.
Most people don't even know what "Jelly Effect" is or even will notice it.

Probably not for me. The vertical space in the screen is minimial when you take into fact that you have to use the nav bar on the bottom now instead of the capacitive buttons, and then then the finger print scanner moves to the back, too. So basically you get an extra 1/4 inch of usable screen, plus I prefer the finger print/home where it is.
It'll be nice for videos and games, and water proofing is nice (if it has that), but I think I'll just wait another 7 or so months for a real upgrade. But who knows. Maybe I'll become envious and buy one!

Homeboy don't come at me like I'm some computer I love my OnePlus phone and I'm just saying how I feel I don't know who you are to assume that I'm a computer but I'm an actual customer who loves OnePlus and appreciates them and enjoy their phones and loves their prices so pound sand homeboy
I'm still rocking the OPOne, I was hoping to upgrade to the 5 when it was released, but the outdated design and lack of waterproofing, made me hold off. If the 5t/6 has the larger screen ratio and waterproofing, I'm in. I'd really like the main camera to have OIS though. Was leaning towards the LG V30 before the 5t rumors began.
1080 x 2160 vs 1440 x 2880 pixels (FHD vs QHD) and the pixel density has me a little concerned, will wait to see the reviews just in case.
If the 5T/6 releases as OP describes (no difference other than waterproofing and minimal bezels) then it's definitely a no go for me

Oh yeah OnePlus doesn't need to drum up support the number one that's why you probably spend all your time on the oneplus forums, check this out OnePlus is the best phone in the world and I love them and I like their phones and I am not being paid to say this and you can just go pound sound and fly a kite

Listen I really like the OnePlus phone I don't appreciate being accused of some Peddler pushing to OnePlus phone I love the OnePlus phone it makes me very very very happy and the discussion
No, One+ is supposed to be the cheap flagship killer. At $800Aud the 128 version was too much but I bit the bullet. Granted it is cheaper, in comparison , to the new flagships coming out, but the price is getting ridiculous....
It is a good phone but the lack of a memory card is the killer for me.
Like the RAM, camera is OK but definitely not the best.
If I was paying around the $500 for it I might be a bit more lenient but I still want my sd card...
One thing, love the fact it isn't a glass phone that MUST be wrapped in bubble wrap and cotton wool to make sure it doesn't get shattered or scratched with use but this still isn't a reason to get another One+...

Yeah, me personally, I'd be happy with great features and build quality, and skimp a little on CPU to lower the cost.
Give me the snapdragon 660/670 with 6GB of Ram, OIS camera, IP68, QHD+ and a tough metal backing.
Was wanting the pixel 2 xl but price killed it.. I lile the higher res screens .. and currently have a nexus 6.. so anything smaller screen wise wont do.. so this looks promising.. how does the current 5 work with Verizon? Saw the price drop on the Essential but seems to be plagued with network issues on Verizon. Also no root yet... Ouch

Yes, at a decent price and with the display mounted correctly (no jello effect...)
