*A logical fallacy going around is that this phone is dangerous. Only the batteries were. The new manufactured units will be fine or at least no more dangerous than any other phone out there. Exchange your unit or return it and get something else. Your choice. But please comment intelligently.*
I do get tired of the trolls commenting on every review of this phone about how dangerous this phone is. Do they not understand the fallacy of what they're saying? Reviews are primarily for people who have not bought the phone. So if someone is considering buying the Note7, the ONLY option for them is the version being released now WITHOUT the defective battery. For those of us who are watching and already have bought our Note7....the carriers are informing us all about the batteries, so there is no need for others on UA-cam to warn us about it.
They are trolls and will be duly taken care of. Most people watching mean well and don't comment. Only such a small percent of people who watch comment and they are usually having some kind of agenda. I will take care of them.
I think much of the comments are because we doubt the quality of this phone. It is clear it was rushed to market and I suppose with the iPhone likely to crush them on release they had to get a head start with their obvious marketing spend. Of course software updates will sort out the terrible RAM management and maybe they can temper the intrusive thermal throttling so that intensive apps run as quick as an iPhone. It's the hardware issues that are more worrying as the lag and crashes will hopefully be sorted. The scratchy screen, the s-pen issues where they get stuck or stop working. The Edge which can crack with the slightest of impacts. The iris scanner that is rather lame if you wear glasses. The speaker issues that cause it to lose volume (water damage?). Is the battery problem a sign of the poor quality control or a one off, this remains a nagging doubt and a fair one IMO.
There are no ram issues on my Snapdragon Note. I can get 13 apps open no problem. Things seem to get shut down when the phone deems them not in use for a while but certainly there is NO RAM ISSUE.
I too switched from an Apple iPhone Plus to the Note7. Can't believe how much more useful the Note7 is. You won't regret it. I still have an iPad Air 2 but I might trade it in on an android tablet necsyse their ecosystem offers a lot in the productivity and multitasking department.
Just wait until the revised note7s come out. Should be about a month. no other phone comes close to the Note 7. BTW, I Just wrote this comment With the s-Pen. LOL.
Erica Thanks so much especially for letting me know about Action Memo and the fact that they made changes to it and the fact that they make you use the pen at all times. I went through the same thing scratching my head.I thought maybe I was losing it or their was some kind of fault in phone or I was just lame,and senility was setting in it drove me nuts but yahhhh feeling better now that I am not losing my mind.Great Video as I was having issues with much lag and needed to take a break And I see I'm not only one that have trolls that feel like it makes their self feel better to just follow and make off the wall comments that have nothing else better to do.Well off to check out all the Video's I have not had chance to check out.Looking forward to seeing what else has changed or more I missed along the way but enjoying phone so much.Thanks again.
I don't use Samsung. But I watched this whole video because it's so informative and very useful to know other phones capabilities and technological advancements. Thanks Erica. Good review.
Thank you for touching on the issues that have been going on with the Note 7. The battery issue and glass scratching issue has IMO been over dramatized and its nice to hear from someone credible that we need not run for the hills. Definitely enjoy your videos and look forward to episode 2
People can be so dumb. The note 7 recall thing is all over the internet, newspapers, tv and still people take a jab at samsung. This is a problem which has a solution and is being fixed unlike the #bendgate and antenna band issue where people were left with no option but to live with what they got. Haven't these people heard of car company's recalling their car's for faulty parts?!
naw, based on what we know and the limited scope of the incident, it's more likely Samsung SDI, which is a young branch and this is the first major project they've been on, was pushed too hard, too soon and fumbled hard because of it.
I figure (just got n/7 2wks ago) those 35 could be among so many ppl who ditched landlines & now use mobiles exclusively. I know a few such ppl. They tend to plug in over long hrs (overnight). Laptops, tabs, anything lith/ion overcharged tends to get warm. So far so good, lv it, no prob.
The the battery defect is the chip that tells the phone it's fully charged and the note 7 quick charges within an hour. If you have the phone already, just dont plug it in overnight or for more than an hour. I'd buy this phone even if they didnt resolve the battery issues...
+Erica Griffin Yes totally agree Erica, very poor quality control of the company of the battery. I believe the battery company is paying Samsung for reproduction of the Note 7. What ever the case maybe, Samsung isn't losing any money over this. It's just a total shame this had to happen right when the new iPhones were coming out. Because anybody knows that Samsung makes a much better phone then Apple ever will. Just the display alone. I mean, I know the camera is much better at both taking photos and videos. The speed of the Note, the power it has, the memory and NOT to mention we have an earphone jack and SD card slot. I have 256 GB SD card in my Note 7. Yes, I'll be returning my Note 7 for an exchange of another Note 7. Not because the Government just stepped in, I had my mind made up way before them sticking their nose in.
I'm honestly floor by how good your reviews are. You definitely made really think about how to really utilize my phone. Your are one of the best tech reviewer out there hand down.
have no dislikes for this Note7 Phone. I will keep mine til they come with the replacement. although I have not had any problems with my Phone while charging and it never felt hot. But I keep an eye on it while it's charging and only charge it once a day anyway. But I feel this phone is not at all a failure and that it is one of the top best on the Android market. But one issue is that the Most expensive phones from Samsung has the most Crappy Audio and very little Volume at max settings. A Cheap Walmart or MetroPCS and 7-11 Tracfone has better Music Audio Playback with Dre Beats sounds better than any Note phone I have owned aside from the note 4...You pay $900.00 + Tax for a premium Phone but the music audio playback sucks like crap and the volume is too low while its set at max.
Yes, they got rid of it and replaced it with Samsung notes that's significantly more limited than S Note. I hope they rethink that stupid decision. To those saying you can download S Notes, you actually can't. When you search for it on the play store, it tells you it's not Compatible.
Then it won't be a note 7. The features in the Note 7 is what makes it a note 7. You take those features away and you're left with just a boring big phone.
Can't wait to see Part 2, 3 or even 4. Like you said this phone does so much that you must break it down into parts. Always love you reviews. You are 100% honest and non bias on one brand of phone. My favorite is still the Note line. I don't want to replace my Note 7. It works fine.
Had mine for almost two weeks. Zagg screen protector. Speck candy grip black case. No worries with fingerprints. screen stays nice and clean. S-Pen works just fine with screen protector on it. Dropped phone while I was in the hospital this last week. About 5 1/2 feet fall. No scratches, dings, dents, etc... Love this phone.
Erica, I sincerely want to thank you for your in depth knowledge pertaining to the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. I have been a Tad pensive as you purchasing a new note. I currently use the Note 4 and have remained with it due to the removable battery and SD card. you have definitely swayed me in a positive direction to go forward and finally upgrade to the Note 7. you are hands-down absolutely incredible with your video quality and your video content and your incredible product knowledge. I am so fortunate to have found you online via UA-cam and I have subscribed to your Channel and look forward to Great eagerness for future fancy feature updates. Thank you for making this an enjoyable experience as I did not know where 25 minutes all I can say is that it felt like 2 minutes. You just make learning a very enjoyable experience. sincere thanks once again for your incredible knowledge that is so appreciated. Respectfully, Bode
Just switched from an iPhone 6 Plus to the S7 Edge. Lovin' the customization and the pure power. Also big plus on water resistance, sd card slot and a really good camera.
Thank you so much for your reviews!!! Dimitri is cute! Your reviews have helped me to make the decision to go ahead and upgrade to my first Note! I'll continue to use your reviews to learn all I can for anything I don't know with my NEW NOTE! YOU ROCK!
+Erica Griffin You used to be able to import PDF documents into s note. That made the text searchable and you could then export any markups, or add additional pages of notes. This is very useful for students or scientific papers. The new app is just an evernote competitor, evidenced by removal of evernote sync.
Can't wait for episode 2! Watching this on my very own note 7! Haven't had charging issues but I was notified I can switch when the new batch comes. haven't had issues with media consumption, gaming, emulation, productivity and yes even heavy compute task with my snapdragon 820, from cad rendering, simulation, scripting and even payload loading via use type c otg to simulink sensor data. Though it does get warm at heavy use and when charging, but if my phone is off it doesnt get warm during charging, just like how the nexus 6p behaves that I got for my dad. I'm happy s pen works with third party apps. Now if we can get multiple encrypted secure folder with 2 step biometrics this will be a killer phone! Well its already killer with its explosive features :v
Well done Erica.... Loved your review. A big appreciation for Samsung on handling the battery issue. This is what we call good customer support. I purchased the Note 7... But returned it back to get a replacement... I will be waiting for the new Note 7 to come. No device currently in the market come near a Note 7.....
I just received my new note 7 replacement and just love it! I selected the Coral blue color(Stunning)!. Hands down this is the best phone I've ever owned!.
GAAAAAAAAAA the most anticipated device of 2016 (for me) and the pre-order halts because of manufacture issues and watching this awesome video doesn't help :P Great video keep them coming, we thank you for your time making them Erica :)
beautiful review again! And this why there is the note And everything else so many features that even on my note 4 there are times that you can get lost looking for things . which makes it so appealing for use and play with the phone since we all hold the our phones for a least 6 to 8 hrs per day combine . Again awesome review 👌
Erica Griffin : You can download more feature for your S Note to Transform info Refined Shape, Formula, Text On this Note 7. Just open the S Note and press on 3 dots at top right corner ( Next to Search ) press on More Feature and you can download it.
you are the best reviewer that i know on youtube,subscribed. you show us the phone not like other shows you their faces all the time while bitching about the phone. we need to see the phone not their faces. good job Erica
Great review! Currently waiting for my note 7 in the uk. I'm so EXCITED! I had the choice between this and an iPhone 7 Plus. But I'd rather have this as a much prefer it.
Hi from the UK Erica. Great video, always enjoy them. I am coming to the note 7 from the note 3..... (you will remember that we were left out of the Note 5 paaarty....! ) This is a complex top level piece of kit and I am just scratching the surface (pun intended) of its abilities. So far I am impressed by the camera, and the screen. The software choices by Samsung are so odd... Why would they leave the video gallery off???? Probably my most used app on my old phone. The reason for commenting is that I have experienced at least 5 instances of freezing, locking, and re booting. I had to use my old phone to check how to re set after the freeze as battery removal is not an option, obviously. Have you had any of this? Keep up the good work, I look forward to your in depth camera review. Cheers, Akin.
Thank you for this review. I look forward to further episodes. I currently use the Galaxy S7 and I can already tell from what I've seen thus far that I probably will not upgrade to the Note 7. I want a Note device primarily for using the S pen and note taking such as names and phone numbers of business people I encounter on my job. An important feature Samsung has apparently done away with. I think perhaps the Note 8 will be worth the wait and make a more financially sound choice for me. Again, thank you very much!
I really like this review, especially since you started off creating the video with the Note 7! That's so perfect. I'm not clear though, was the rest of the video shot with the Note 7 or just that first clip?
Hi Erica. Awesome video as always. Very informative. I have a question for you though. what keyboard are you using on your phone? I love the way it looks.
Hey Erica, Very thorough and interesting video as always... Much appreciated... I was wondering if the dbrand skin is water resistant? Like if I use the skin and get my note 7 wet, will it affect the adhesive? Thanks and Great Job. I'm looking forward to the next part
Great review Erica. I have had all the Notes since the Note 2 and I think this is by far the best one. There is nothing out there that compares with the S-Pen. I use it daily for work. I do agree with you on the action memo. I miss that feature as well. The always on display that can be used to show my notes is very nice but I do not see why they cannot have both features.
Great video as always. Very informative. I'm a bit frustrated right now because I'm due an upgrade right now and I can't get the Note 7 via my network as they have stopped selling it and can't say if or when they will have them in stock again. I might as well wait a couple of months and see what Google has to offer. Keep up the good work
Howdy Erica! First off, I love your videos. I have not looked through the 300+ comments to see if this has been noted....hehe. But, the FIRST Edge phone by Samsung was the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge.
Erica Griffin, that was an excellent video. Please keep up the great work with your indepth reviews. What annoys me is that here in the UK, the only colours available to us is black and coral blue!! I was really looking forward to seeing in my personal opinion the more attractive gold and silver options. Also, with my current phone slowing down and on it's last legs, the further delays with me getting my hands on the Note 7 due to the recall is frustrating me to no end!
+Erica Griffin the "extract text" was not working earlier because you had captured circle along with text "hi", while in 2nd snap you didn't, that's why it showed the option
+MANISHA RAY the circle had nothing to do with it. It can very well recognize text if the circle is there. It makes a smart guess around what is word and what is not.
Looking forward to the entire series on the new Note. Your review of the Note 4 convinced me to purchase it, and might just upgrade at year's end. Could you please spend a little more time with the phone functions themselves; specifically call quality, speaker AND speaker phone impressions, etc. I am worried the sound/speaker suffers from the added water resistance.
this phone is now banned in Australia. that means specially you cannot fly on a plane with this phone or checking in a bag. In Australia samsung made about six product recalls within 3-4 years. guess samsung is going downhill. i had this phone and now it is returned and waiting for a refund. almost 2 weeks they are not yet made my payment. my trust against samsung is gone. guess how much is Erica is getting payed to fool people with this unsafe product. i guess all the samsung galaxy note 7 videos should bad. these will make people to keep their note 7. think wisely guys...!
I'm really glad for the recall right now. I tested my phone in the water and have been unable to use the charging port since. Seems that my seals are defective. I've already tried most of the trouble shoots and will attempt the rice dunk next. My s-pen also has lost its spring and won't eject. Despite all that it is the best phone!
The audio in the beginning of the video (when you're recording with the Note 7) was AMAZING. Were you using any external MIC or the Note 7's built in? Great video BTW.
michael burton All AT&T phones had the most severe intermittent lag I've ever seen on any device, though they worked fine most of the time. The SM-930FD hasn't had that issue once in about 10 days of use now.
I, for one, really like the effect the edge has on it. It feels like the image is falling off the screen and it gives scrolling a feel like the image/text/whatever is on a spool that you're turning. I'm really not a fan of the glass on the back as it doubles the chances of breakage.
Best screen protector that I found is Clear Coat and it works fine with a case. Cost me $35, that's with installation and lifetime warranty. I would suggest you give it a try.
there was an software update couple of days ago and after that I have notticed that notifications from the same app are grouped saiyng "app name (x)" and you have to tap it to reveal separate messages. some apps like "cpu stats" uses multiple notificaton icons to show results and you can see only 1 which is very annoying and I can't find the option to turn it off
Great review! You use the word "redundant" like it's a bad thing. Redundancy allows idiots like me to get the most from our devices without having to stumble upon the ONE exact correct way to make a feature work. Again, great review.
*A logical fallacy going around is that this phone is dangerous. Only the batteries were. The new manufactured units will be fine or at least no more dangerous than any other phone out there. Exchange your unit or return it and get something else. Your choice. But please comment intelligently.*
Erika stop trying to get invited to Samsung's next launch!
Just kidding!
Kidding or not, I would say this for any company. Not just for Samsung.
+Erica Griffin lol I only made that comment because of what I said about your iPhone 7 video. Love the Note 7. Great video.
great comment!
Thefastlane425 just put a screen protector and a skin and you'll be straight.
*my note 7 is a review unit and recall is being handled differently. Don't worry, waiting on replacement*
Glad to know you're staying safe :-)
hey
I feel like blocking you for asking something so clearly dumb
my husband asks, "yes?"
haha
I do get tired of the trolls commenting on every review of this phone about how dangerous this phone is. Do they not understand the fallacy of what they're saying?

Is the battery problem a sign of the poor quality control or a one off, this remains a nagging doubt and a fair one IMO.
+andyH_England You are such a shill/troll, makes me wonder why she hasn't blocked you. You don't even own the phone.
kinda wrong
There are no ram issues on my Snapdragon Note. I can get 13 apps open no problem. Things seem to get shut down when the phone deems them not in use for a while but certainly there is NO RAM ISSUE.
Always loved the Galaxy Note, so I would buy the Note 7, no doubt about it.
Excellent video that has only made me more confident that I should sell my iPhone 6s and get the Note 7.
I'd, maybe wait a few weeks to do that. Since you know. The note 7 is kinda going boom boom
don't do it yet, wait like a month or 2. Ya know, BLAST
dump those iPhones. they're going out of style like those blackberry did. Besides the fact the iPhone are junk!
I too switched from an Apple iPhone Plus to the Note7. Can't believe how much more useful the Note7 is. You won't regret it. I still have an iPad Air 2 but I might trade it in on an android tablet necsyse their ecosystem offers a lot in the productivity and multitasking department.
Just wait until the revised note7s come out. Should be about a month. no other phone comes close to the Note 7. BTW, I Just wrote this comment With the s-Pen. LOL.

We can now like a comment on Android!!!! About time!
Yup. Just noticed. Updated today. Brilliant.
I updated mine yesterday😂
liked this with ease
WTF, it's not working for me
It's amazing!
I don't use Samsung. But I watched this whole video because it's so informative and very useful to know other phones capabilities and technological advancements. Thanks Erica. Good review.
its an awesome phone.. having a blast with it
Like literally? :D
+ZainAli Merchant that joke is getting really old
Haha but still its funny. Not iphone fanboy here. Have note 5. but reluctant to upgrade. I might go for note 8 next year..
there is already note 8.. will see what note is it next..praying for note edge 2 or something, that will be awesome
I see what you did there
I love your reviews. Your reviews are the only ones that actually review the phone. Unbiased and informative. Thank you.
Thx for the review
Thank you for touching on the issues that have been going on with the Note 7. The battery issue and glass scratching issue has IMO been over dramatized and its nice to hear from someone credible that we need not run for the hills. Definitely enjoy your videos and look forward to episode 2

Alvin Tan Exactly my thoughts. Just 35 cases out of 2.5million units. Somethings definitely fishy!
I figure (just got n/7 2wks ago) those 35 could be among so many ppl who ditched landlines & now use mobiles exclusively. I know a few such ppl. They tend to plug in over long hrs (overnight). Laptops, tabs, anything lith/ion overcharged tends to get warm. So far so good, lv it, no prob.
Mimimi, people are trashing iPhones all the time on the internet, Samsung deserves its fair share just as Apple does.
Yeah, my sister's Honda oddyssey has an explosive air bag!
I never bought/used any Samsung phones in the past. I like the Note 7. I will buy it once the battery issue is fixed. Nice Review.... Thanks Erica
The the battery defect is the chip that tells the phone it's fully charged and the note 7 quick charges within an hour. If you have the phone already, just dont plug it in overnight or for more than an hour. I'd buy this phone even if they didnt resolve the battery issues...
+Colt M Samsung said its the anode and cathode layers touching inside the battery. Poor quality control.
+Erica Griffin Yes totally agree Erica, very poor quality control of the company of the battery. I believe the battery company is paying Samsung for reproduction of the Note 7. What ever the case maybe, Samsung isn't losing any money over this. It's just a total shame this had to happen right when the new iPhones were coming out.

Very detailed, step by step review without complicating ; and ofcourse without HATE. Can't wait to watch Episode 2. Kudos!!!
all you need to know about note7.its a grenade
With a 1 in 250,000 chance of catching fire, you'd have more luck winning the lottery.
your first name in my native language means stupid, haha. it figures.
how have i never even seen one of your videos in my feed?? you are so thorough and i love it. this was an easy subscribe!
🙋🙋 Anyone else hoping for a Note 7 sale or something when they ship out all the fixed phones to try to fix their PR? I certainly am! lol
Been waiting for this video from you for so long. Great video :)
i really want that wallpaper ):
I want it too! :(
Michael Ford we all want it lol ;D
how can i get it?!?!??!!?!?
By the way Erica. Love your in depth reviews. Love how you cover all things with an open honest mind.
Samsung got rid of S NOTE, ON A NOTE 7? VERY ODD.
no they basically blended it in with a different app.
it just changed to a new name/app
You can download it from the Galaxy store.
They didn't get rid of it.
Yes, they got rid of it and replaced it with Samsung notes that's significantly more limited than S Note. I hope they rethink that stupid decision.
To those saying you can download S Notes, you actually can't. When you search for it on the play store, it tells you it's not Compatible.
I've been waiting so long for this. thank you!
My first choice was a Blue Coral colour then I realised there's no blue in Australia :( So I got gold
Same
Same for me. Hoping for the blue one being available as replacement for my recalled unit, but sadly it still isnt.
I was thinking the same thing but i'm still asking them just incase
+Andrea C Yeah I know
there is no coral in austrailia left either.
I must say. This is by far the best in depth review of the beast. Really impressive work Erica 😊.
my dream device:- Samsung galaxy note 7 with pure stock android...
Then it won't be a note 7. The features in the Note 7 is what makes it a note 7. You take those features away and you're left with just a boring big phone.
my dream phone is a phone that doesn't catch fire and burn down my house while I'm sleeping..zzzzzzxxx
go to XDA Devs
+BC BC Step your troll game up.
+sublimek but CyanogenMod comes with bugs and its not stable ,alos there are security issues with rooted device...
HOW do you check if you have a GOOD display??? That is important to me, display.
Any Indian here?
probably alot considering your population
Yes Buddy....I Am From Mumbai
+KMakProTV same here
+Ade ka We Are Everywhere🙌🙌🙌
+KMakProTV Hahahhah
Great Preview
Finally, erica's note7 in depth video that I have been waiting for:)
Thank you Erica for your work. Your videos are the most informative around and you know your stuff. Kudos to you!
I got the note 5 and I greatly enjoy it, I'll probably wait for note 8. Once you go S pen, you never go back.
Great review Erica. Thanks much. We need more of these useful and hands-on reviews. I am following you. Keep it up.
Can't wait to see Part 2, 3 or even 4. Like you said this phone does so much that you must break it down into parts. Always love you reviews. You are 100% honest and non bias on one brand of phone. My favorite is still the Note line. I don't want to replace my Note 7. It works fine.
Only three minutes in and I can tell this is a 'must watch' video for all Note 7 owners! Thank you for your attention to detail!
The recall means I can probably pick this up in a month or so at a cheaper price. I miss the S pen
Had mine for almost two weeks. Zagg screen protector. Speck candy grip black case. No worries with fingerprints. screen stays nice and clean. S-Pen works just fine with screen protector on it. Dropped phone while I was in the hospital this last week. About 5 1/2 feet fall. No scratches, dings, dents, etc... Love this phone.

KUDOS!! for the great review Erica, will wait for Episode 2. CHEERS!!
I love this phone i don't want to give it up!
Great vid... Got a AT&T version.. No complaints at all 👍👌
love your in depth reviews. Can't wait to get my non exploding version of the Note 7.
Just switched from an iPhone 6 Plus to the S7 Edge. Lovin' the customization and the pure power. Also big plus on water resistance, sd card slot and a really good camera.
Loved this phone, stuck waiting for a replacement. Great review!
Thank you so much for your great work in reviewing Note 7 in so much detail.
Awesome review! I can't wait for the next episode.
Thank you so much for your reviews!!! Dimitri is cute! Your reviews have helped me to make the decision to go ahead and upgrade to my first Note! I'll continue to use your reviews to learn all I can for anything I don't know with my NEW NOTE! YOU ROCK!
+Erica Griffin You used to be able to import PDF documents into s note. That made the text searchable and you could then export any markups, or add additional pages of notes. This is very useful for students or scientific papers.
The new app is just an evernote competitor, evidenced by removal of evernote sync.
Can't wait for episode 2! Watching this on my very own note 7! Haven't had charging issues but I was notified I can switch when the new batch comes. haven't had issues with media consumption, gaming, emulation, productivity and yes even heavy compute task with my snapdragon 820, from cad rendering, simulation, scripting and even payload loading via use type c otg to simulink sensor data.
Though it does get warm at heavy use and when charging, but if my phone is off it doesnt get warm during charging, just like how the nexus 6p behaves that I got for my dad. I'm happy s pen works with third party apps. Now if we can get multiple encrypted secure folder with 2 step biometrics this will be a killer phone! Well its already killer with its explosive features :v
Well done Erica.... Loved your review. A big appreciation for Samsung on handling the battery issue. This is what we call good customer support. I purchased the Note 7... But returned it back to get a replacement... I will be waiting for the new Note 7 to come. No device currently in the market come near a Note 7.....
I just received my new note 7 replacement and just love it! I selected the Coral blue color(Stunning)!. Hands down this is the best phone I've ever owned!.
GAAAAAAAAAA the most anticipated device of 2016 (for me) and the pre-order halts because of manufacture issues and watching this awesome video doesn't help :P Great video keep them coming, we thank you for your time making them Erica :)
beautiful review again!
And this why there is the note And everything else
so many features that even on my note 4 there are times that you can get lost looking for things .
which makes it so appealing for use and play with the phone since we all hold the our phones for a least 6 to 8 hrs per day combine .
Again awesome review 👌
Thanks so much for your disclaimer about people posting intelligently. Very professional!!
Great in depth review Erica! Brilliant
Thank you for the review I will b waiting for this device to come back looking forward to episode 2
Absolutely loving this phone. It's incredible
Erica, that's the best review I've ever seen! Thanks
can you please cover the HDR feature on the note 7
I've been looking for this video everyday... Awesome video and I'd watch a hour one....thanks
Erica Griffin : You can download more feature for your S Note to Transform info Refined Shape, Formula, Text On this Note 7. Just open the S Note and press on 3 dots at top right corner ( Next to Search ) press on More Feature and you can download it.
you are the best reviewer that i know on youtube,subscribed. you show us the phone not like other shows you their faces all the time while bitching about the phone. we need to see the phone not their faces. good job Erica
Great review! Currently waiting for my note 7 in the uk. I'm so EXCITED! I had the choice between this and an iPhone 7 Plus. But I'd rather have this as a much prefer it.
Hi from the UK Erica. Great video, always enjoy them. I am coming to the note 7 from the note 3..... (you will remember that we were left out of the Note 5 paaarty....! )
This is a complex top level piece of kit and I am just scratching the surface (pun intended) of its abilities. So far I am impressed by the camera, and the screen. The software choices by Samsung are so odd... Why would they leave the video gallery off???? Probably my most used app on my old phone.
The reason for commenting is that I have experienced at least 5 instances of freezing, locking, and re booting. I had to use my old phone to check how to re set after the freeze as battery removal is not an option, obviously. Have you had any of this?
Keep up the good work, I look forward to your in depth camera review.
Cheers,
Akin.
This phone feels so amazing to hold and use. It's honestly so understated, makes the experience so much better.
Ah! A note 7 series! Excited to see the other episodes and hopefully another one for the iphone 7+ 🐼
Thank you for this review. I look forward to further episodes.
I currently use the Galaxy S7 and I can already tell from what I've seen thus far that I probably will not upgrade to the Note 7.
I want a Note device primarily for using the S pen and note taking such as names and phone numbers of business people I encounter on my job. An important feature Samsung has apparently done away with. I think perhaps the Note 8 will be worth the wait and make a more financially sound choice for me.
Again, thank you very much!
Very glad I found you. Great thorough review! Do you think the replacement battery will have a similar battery life? Thank you
I really like this review, especially since you started off creating the video with the Note 7! That's so perfect. I'm not clear though, was the rest of the video shot with the Note 7 or just that first clip?
Hi Erica. Awesome video as always. Very informative. I have a question for you though. what keyboard are you using on your phone? I love the way it looks.
I love your review and your unboxing !! congratulation !!
Hey Erica, Very thorough and interesting video as always... Much appreciated... I was wondering if the dbrand skin is water resistant? Like if I use the skin and get my note 7 wet, will it affect the adhesive? Thanks and Great Job. I'm looking forward to the next part
Great review Erica. I have had all the Notes since the Note 2 and I think this is by far the best one. There is nothing out there that compares with the S-Pen. I use it daily for work. I do agree with you on the action memo. I miss that feature as well. The always on display that can be used to show my notes is very nice but I do not see why they cannot have both features.
I thumbs up when I saw your Bird...nothing like giving it a go and putting some effort in...enjoyed the rest and looking forward to ep.2 :)
Great video as always. Very informative. I'm a bit frustrated right now because I'm due an upgrade right now and I can't get the Note 7 via my network as they have stopped selling it and can't say if or when they will have them in stock again. I might as well wait a couple of months and see what Google has to offer. Keep up the good work
Howdy Erica! First off, I love your videos. I have not looked through the 300+ comments to see if this has been noted....hehe. But, the FIRST Edge phone by Samsung was the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge.
Erica Griffin, that was an excellent video. Please keep up the great work with your indepth reviews. What annoys me is that here in the UK, the only colours available to us is black and coral blue!! I was really looking forward to seeing in my personal opinion the more attractive gold and silver options. Also, with my current phone slowing down and on it's last legs, the further delays with me getting my hands on the Note 7 due to the recall is frustrating me to no end!
+Erica Griffin the "extract text" was not working earlier because you had captured circle along with text "hi", while in 2nd snap you didn't, that's why it showed the option
+MANISHA RAY nope. Wrong. I have tried it over and over again all sorts of ways. If the option ever does pop up it coverts to gibberish.
+MANISHA RAY the circle had nothing to do with it. It can very well recognize text if the circle is there. It makes a smart guess around what is word and what is not.
Looking forward to the entire series on the new Note. Your review of the Note 4 convinced me to purchase it, and might just upgrade at year's end. Could you please spend a little more time with the phone functions themselves; specifically call quality, speaker AND speaker phone impressions, etc. I am worried the sound/speaker suffers from the added water resistance.
Great review, just part one has made my mind up about getting a note 7 over a iPhone 7 plus. Looking forward to next part :)
Love the videos as usual watch every one think you could make it blow up in the next one be awesome
this phone is now banned in Australia. that means specially you cannot fly on a plane with this phone or checking in a bag. In Australia samsung made about six product recalls within 3-4 years. guess samsung is going downhill. i had this phone and now it is returned and waiting for a refund. almost 2 weeks they are not yet made my payment. my trust against samsung is gone. guess how much is Erica is getting payed to fool people with this unsafe product. i guess all the samsung galaxy note 7 videos should bad. these will make people to keep their note 7. think wisely guys...!
You are the queen of details.. Very amazing thanks a lot
Really really great video. I'm still going to get the Note 7 after it's recall. Thank you!
I'm really glad for the recall right now. I tested my phone in the water and have been unable to use the charging port since. Seems that my seals are defective. I've already tried most of the trouble shoots and will attempt the rice dunk next. My s-pen also has lost its spring and won't eject. Despite all that it is the best phone!
Erica Griffin Your videos are always Awesome. Keep it Up !
Hi Erica, did you know something about bootloop issue, I've already exchange two devices with the same problem, thanks
+lucastube74 what version of the phone? Where from? What carrier? Haven't experienced that. Not even once on my T-Mobile version.
Thanks for this review! Love your videos! :D
The audio in the beginning of the video (when you're recording with the Note 7) was AMAZING. Were you using any external MIC or the Note 7's built in? Great video BTW.
Your bird painting should be put in an art museum.
Took you long enough. Already got mine and after having issues with 4 AT&T versions I finally got the international version which works awesomely.
+Terry Olay guess what? I had to take all this time to actually use the phone!
Erica Griffin I apologize for sounding impatient. You do excellent reviews. Keep up the good work.
You had 4 phones already? What was the issue? (im on Att also)
michael burton All AT&T phones had the most severe intermittent lag I've ever seen on any device, though they worked fine most of the time.
The SM-930FD hasn't had that issue once in about 10 days of use now.
+Terry Olay did you do a factory reset when you got it?
I, for one, really like the effect the edge has on it. It feels like the image is falling off the screen and it gives scrolling a feel like the image/text/whatever is on a spool that you're turning. I'm really not a fan of the glass on the back as it doubles the chances of breakage.
how did you get that black and red keyboard with the japanese letters on the space button????? please tell me??? 😲
Find the app.
Preston Weiters Jr. what's the name of the App?
I didn't. Go to Samsung apps or G/play for alt keyboards.
Is an app called SwiftKey and it has a lot of skins.
Antonio Quiroz thanks 😎
Best screen protector that I found is Clear Coat and it works fine with a case. Cost me $35, that's with installation and lifetime warranty. I would suggest you give it a try.
there was an software update couple of days ago and after that I have notticed that notifications from the same app are grouped saiyng "app name (x)" and you have to tap it to reveal separate messages. some apps like "cpu stats" uses multiple notificaton icons to show results and you can see only 1 which is very annoying and I can't find the option to turn it off
I have no interest in android phones, however I really just enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!
Great review!
You use the word "redundant" like it's a bad thing.
Redundancy allows idiots like me to get the most from our devices without having to stumble upon the ONE exact correct way to make a feature work.
Again, great review.
