I'm sure many were like me, and after the announcement the 6P sounded amazing and you knew that if you didn't order it right away it would likely be sold out for months. Now that some time has past and we've seen some hands on, are you still going to keep your pre-order or cancel and wait for more reviews or a price drop?
I have the G4 currently and I keep going back and forth. If I was in the market for either the 6P would be the clear winner, but the fact that I have to sell my G4 and likely take a ~$200 hit on the swap, it makes me think twice.
I don't mean this to sound rude, but I fear it might come off a bit rude, but this is kind of a dumb question, if you ordered it, you should have only ordered it if you wanted it. Nothing has happened since it was released that makes it any less desirable, so why would people cancel? I saw the announcement live and watched hands on before I ordered, I knew what I was getting when I clicked order.

No i agree, op sounds ignorant. To the op you wont feel the way you do if you made a conscious and educated purchase. sounds like you may have made an emotional buy.

If you read my post, you'll see that's exactly what I said. During the announcement they talk up all these features to make you really want the device, and then when pre-orders opened up right afterwards you had to make a choice whether to buy it then or potentially wait months if the previous Nexus launches followed the same path this time.
The leaks on this device were more geysers than drips. In other words, everyone already knew everything, and the presentation was just confirmation. Even then, you had nearly an hour (from the time they stopped talking about Nexus) before you could really pre-order, giving everyone plenty of time to think about it first. Emotional impulse-buys were probably very minimal.
Op, not a bad question. I made an educated decision before I pulled the trigger on my pre order. I watched every Hands on video on YouTube, read as much as I could. I knew before hand that there was no wireless charging (metal body?) , no OSI and fast charging is questionable. So I know what I'm getting into and the n6p still sounds compelling!

Wait.. What. Why would anyone cancel their order? I was blown away by the release, and even moreso after the reddit AMA
the poll says it all
The features they "talked" up at the presentation seem to be panning out nicely in the hands on reviews. No foreseeable reason to cancel.
I buy and sell phones quite often, I actually am returning the iPhone 6s that I got to see what it was like (it was horrible haha). I was just curious if anyone else was like me where they buy phones on impulse and if any had already cancelled their orders.
Im giving the MS 950XL a chance to win my business, but pretty sure I'll keep the 6P at this point.

I think cancelling a pre-order is very different from buying a phone only to see how it works. The former does not really impact the selling cost and margin manufacturers have to add to recoup that cost. The latter does.
In the specific case of the 6P I don't think a person is "ignorant" for canceling a pre-order. Yes, Google provided quite a bit of information about the 6P. But, since release there have been legitimate questions about the quality of the panel, the quality of the camera, etc. Also, between release and when it starts shipping, other phones have and will come out.
Definitely, the 6P is the way to go for most of the people who've pre-ordered. Great for them. But that does not mean people who end up canceling are demonstrating their ignorance.
i hope all the 64gb graphite users cancel so I get mine sooner

What's your opinion on the 3d touch feature? I haven't been able to find an unbiased opinion on it. Most people over at /r/Apple think it's the greatest thing ever.

I get what you meant when you said that you had to order it right away.
I thought it was going to sell out in like 30 seconds so I said buy now and think about it later. Which I have done now and decided to stick with my decision. So far the initial impressions look good. Waiting for a full review from MHBHD, Android Authority and Pocket now which will probably take another month I'm guessing.
Coming from a Moto X Pure btw
I got it from Amazon with prime so I can keep returning it until I get the N6P

I bought a 6s Plus to give it a trial run, since my Nexus 6 busted and needed a device. I like to float between android and iOS.
The 3D Touch is actually kind of fun. Once it becomes more used in apps by developers, I can see it having a lot of power. It does feel very intuitive and gives a good flow to using the device. I will give it to Apple on the 3D Touch and A9 chip. The "Live Photos" thing is okay, doesn't work as fully advertised. If you have kids or pets you always photograph, then I can see it being useful, but Google introduced their version during the 6p launch with Burst Photos. Hope this helps.

Long time no see buddy. From the Dell Streak 7 days?!? =)
Or I could be mistaken.
I did the same thing. Buy it now and think more later.
For reasons like my previous bad experience with another Nexus device , including becoming a flashing whore. Thirsty for ROMs and spend way too much time doing non meaningful stuff. Sometimes a little curb on playing toys aint a bad thing
Plus 128GB 6p is quite expensive, after I saw closer my current credit card bill.

3d touch is nothing new.... Android has had this feature for years. The difference is Apple's is hardware based, and Android is software. Most developers don't take advantage of it but it's there...

Just cancelled my 6p 128gb graphite w/ Nexus Protect. The biggest reasons were 6p's band 12 would need T-Mobile's certification, and even if certified band 12 might not give the improvements that I hoped for. I pre-ordered b/c I was afraid that 6p would get sold out. But then I found it hard to justify $800 when my OPO is still plenty fast and a new N6 64gb can be had for $370.
Bad news for Samsung keeps on coming
AT&T will allow any of its customers with replacement Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices to swap them out for a different smartphone, the company tells The Verge. The move follows Sprint's decision to let its customers return replacement Note 7s for a device from a different manufacturer on the heels of a replacement Note 7 catching fire on a plane earlier this week. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has opened an investigation into the fire.
At this rate it's likely that Verizon and T-Mobile won't be too far behind in offering to swap out replacement Note 7 devices. With the uncertainty around the safety of the Note 7, offering a full exchange is the easiest way to ease the worries of consumers until the CPSC completes its investigation. If you're an AT&T or Sprint customer, you can take your replacement Note 7 back to the carriers' respective retail stores and exchange the devices for another smartphone of your choosing.

Interesting. Not sure what i would do. So far i am enjoying my replacement note 7. If it comes to it i guess i will have to make a decision but i need more info before making that move. Its a shame, Samsung makes good stuff, its unfortunate they are having these issues. We shall see

Yeah I also called. The rep put me on hold to do some research on it and read it . It's something all reps doesn't know about yet. You have to the end of the month to do so. I have the option to switch it out to another device or just return it for a free refund. He made sure that was stated on my account for me to not have problems.

I don't see a future with note 7 in hand. I do love the phone., hope it's not recalled again but its not looking good.
At leaset in the next few weeks we will have a few more phone choices...... unlike last month. I am thinking of.jumping to the V20 if a 2nd recall happens
This really sucks because I've fallen in love with my Note 7. There's not even any other phone on AT&T that I would get with the exception of the S7 edge. I'm really hoping this guy turns out to be a scam artist.

I know. I might jump ship. The carrier's have to know something. Since when does AT&T reach out to Android Central to tell them they are also on board with the device turn in.
I feel there is little choice but to change. It's only a matter of time before the next report of a burning replacement and good luck selling this second hand in the future . I will try the v20. I wish I had kept my Note5 and not lost $350 on selling it.

Not even sure which phone to go with. The Note 7 was the only phone that checked all the boxes. I sold my S7 Edge to get it, and I am not going to go buy another one.
-big screen
-water resistance

Not necessarily guys, relax. They may be doing this just to cover their own ass. I would like to believe that if anything real serious was known an announcement would be made my Samsung.

I just feel this phone will be at the bottom.of the pile like a non flagship budget. For cases, accessories, updates ect... . Not many people are on board with the note 7, if there is no recall not many will be on board with all the bad press. So why would anyone put any effort or invest money/more products into the note 7. Speaking. Of, we will surely not see a functional.curved glass SP. In my line of work tempered sp is a must. One reason why I may go v20, same.screen real estate as the note 7 but not curved so SP will actually stay on.
The note 7 and bogo deal was the only reason I upgraded and added a phone to my plan. Samsung had no other device I want so now I may get screwed out of the bogo and have to pay more each month than I had originally planned and I can't take back my note 5 now, which I gave to our functioning disabled son
Its absolutely tragic that this is happening. I really wanted this device to be my go to for the next couple of years. Its my first phone since the Note 4 was released and its a beast! I guess in the race to create a flagship like this Samsung has finally cut too many corners. It seems to me that the inherent design of the battery and the chassis just aren't optimal. They should have spent a bit more time on the battery enclosure and possibly reduced the battery capacity slightly to compensate for the tight tolerances. Im not even really sure that would have done anything to help. But anyhow, I think the rest of the community will probably feel the pain. I have already started looking at other devices, leaning (for the first time in 8 years) towards another iPhone. Or I can go to the Pixel xl. Everything other than the Note 7 released this year has been such a let down though.

For sure! Yikes, I believe that steam and heat actually causes the rubber seals to loosen a bit. Its one of the only ways that you can actually get water damage on these devices other than taking them too deep in the water.

There's absolutely no other phone I want, so I'm seriously considering not turning my phone in and continuing to use it. Plus I'm not at all happy with the compensation of a $25 credit. What I would deem fair is allowing me to "use" an S7e or ANY phone I want until a suitable replacement phone (S8, Note 8, etc.) becomes available and then turning in the loaner for the better phone. Anyway... anyone else going to chance it and just keep on using their Note 7?

I really like the phone. But, it's not worth risking my life and property for.
Just got my replacement in the mail last Thursday. It's been working just fine. Doesn't get hot or anything with heavy use. I'm going to continue using my revised note 7 till they try to force me to deactivate it
Ive had a rough time getting a replacement, so ive been looking into the pixel xl or just snag a nexus 6p for cheap. Its not worth risking to me.

I'm going to keep mine because I have not had any issues and do not want to get a new phone. This mostly due to how terrible the corporate sprint store near me is. I had to go into the store 3 times to get a replacement.
The only problem (aside from the whole catching fire thing) is I doubt they'll be working on any software updates for the Note 7 now. No Nougut for the Note 7?

I upgraded from a Note 3 to a Note 7. I need a Note with Micro SD card slot. I went on Ebay today and bought the best Note 4 I saw as a backup plan. I still have the original recalled Note 7 and plan to keep it for now. But like kstephens98 said, it won't get updates. And who's gonna wanna continue development here? I think I'll probably use the Note 4 until (hopefully) the Note 8 comes out. I just hope I can still get a full refund if it comes down to that. There's no other new phone out there that I would be interested in.
there is no competition.
i'll hold it until they have another fixed batch or until the Note 8.

As much as this comment exactly describes how i feel i have to return the phone. This is the hsrdest decision. Even harder than returning the first one cause last tine i knew it would be conning back. But it is now giing to be gone forever.
The main reasons are these
1) the phone cost $900. If i keep it i cannot get a new one probably ever.
2) development Will be non existent.
3) no resale value at all in the rare chance i could afford another one.
4) my husband will refuse to let me keep it even if i wanted to ignore 1-3
I was hoping for a new batch but from what I've read Samsung has officially dropped the note 7 all together.
Out the money for my case and have a gear vr which i cannot use. THIS SUCKS

Just an FYI just got this tidbit from Sprint Chat:
"Daniel M:*You can check the availability of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 with our Telesales team as the device is not available online and we are trying to get it back soon but any date is not confirmed."
was also confirmed by Telesales
If they get the note 5 back, I'd take that. I honestly don't think PHYSICALLY the note 7 is that different. On top of that, the Note 5 is honestly the best alternative. As sad as it is to say that a year old phone is the best alternative...it really, honestly is. I can deal without the USB-C, I can even deal with the lack of SD Card support(I haven't used an SD card in ages as long as there's a 64gb version). The water resistance would be nice...but after owning the S5, it was more.....convenient than anything. The "IF it drops in the water I don't have anything the worry about" feeling. I took underwater pics once just to say I did and could but....not like I'm gonna go swimming with that bad boy in my pocket lol.
Lastly, and most importantly for me, is the S-Pen. Unlike a good number of people, I actually use my....a lot. Which I find either people use it A LOT, or never lol. Anyway, if/when the Note 5 becomes available again, then I'll go back to that. But this Note 7 really was the PERFECT phone.
Water Resistance
S-Pen
AMAZIN screen to body ratio
iris scanner is way more functional than I anticipated
just the right about of edge on the screen
THE SCREEN PERIOD lol
the camera was near flawless in my opinion
everything about this phone......
If only Samsung wouldn't have rushed things. I think this phone would have beat out the iPhone anyway. Thing is, people who buy iPhones, buy iPhones. Getting them to switch is difficult because they're usually invested in apple products. iPads, Macbooks, lightning adapters, etc. People who buy Android phones are usually invested in it. Samsung people usually have Samsung Tablets, enjoy the gmail/google apps integration, enjoy the mass amount of free apps from the app store lol. This makes me want to cry lol
Went ahead and exchanged mine for an S7 Edge. It's a very nice phone too. Plus I didn't use the S-Pen like I thought I would.
In addition, Got two free gifts for my first note and my replacement note and now I've been approved for my S7 Edge. Three gifts, one purchase.
Anyone thinking of trading it in and doing the gift thing, sorry, it ended Oct 9th I believe.

ugh. I am going to call the corp guys tomorrow when I have time to ask what they are going to let me get away with. I am leaning like some others to the LG V20, but since it doesn't come out until the 28th it's outside a 15 day window. Would go without phone/phone payments and a Note 4 I pick up used for now if it meant using my upgrade later.
already sent my old phone back to them, as required to not get charged. So can't go back to that. After thinking about it, the S7 or S7E is a horrible choice since they will be replaced soon and then I'll be pissed I just got an old model.

I am going to keep using mine. There is NOTHING else that is even close to the Note 7. All of us who own the phone knows it is the sweetest one out there. I had considered the LG V20, but I would feel as though I had an inferior phone; judging by the reviews.
The reason I am here today is to root the phone to prevent Samsung from sending some type of kill update.
For those like me who are holding on to their Note 7's and not wanting to relinquish our devices why doesn't Samsung or the phone carriers just send out a waiver for people to sign stating that if you want to keep your Note 7 you can but Samsung and your specific carrier is not held liable for anything that happens to you or the phone down the line or after said waiver is signed.Just a thought on if that would be a good idea and who would be willing to sign such waiver if it were to happen?
Not sure of the feasibility of this. My biggest concern would be lack of updates going forward. Even if a waiver was an option - Samsung not going to invest in maintaining the software.
Im still holding on to mine for now. No hurry to move on.
Looking into a cheap Note 5 to hold me over since my N4 was acting up (or i wouldn't have even got the N7) so I can save my upgrade. (Not happy about Sprint dropping 2yr subsidized price for new phones either)
If there is any teeth to the rumor that Samsung will make a future upgrade cheaper if N7 users go to S7/S7E, then id consider that route too.
Because then people just wouldn't sign it? This also opens the door for normal customers with no legal knowledge to pursuit this legally.
Is Samsung going to force customers to sign this waiver? Do they want a bigger lawsuit?
There's a reason why it's a voluntary recall (still is) and not mandatory even after the CPSC got involved.
Also it effects more than just you. If it catches fire on a plane you just killed people . If it didn't effect others life im sure they would let you keep it but return it . I loved the phone but the hassle of all this just to keep a phone is not worth it. At the end of a day it's just a phone

Wow you actually talked to a Samsung rep.and they said it was ok to keep the phone until the Note 8 comes out?That's awesome news,I heard that Samsung was considering refurbishing all the Note 7's they got back and reselling them at a discounted price.

Was this over the phone?
Is there a log to use against them legally?

Hey fellow Canadians! What a time to be alive hey! Once again it's that time of year. Hope we can aggregate all Canadian concerns here. We'll start it as a waiting room and let it evolve into something more Cheers!
Well I guess I'll go first! Pre-ordered the Note 20 Ultra directly from Samsung on release day! Got the bronze color with the Bud's live. Weird thing is that it wouldn't let me get the buds in the same color. Status as of today is preparing for dispatch and it should ship on August 17th! I also picked the monthly payments over on year but since the first payment is October 5th I'll probably just pay it off in one lump sum. ?

I jumped on the pre order then saw no 512gb mustic bronze available.
i need 512gb and absolutely do not want black.
they base all the advertising on this colour then dont offer it in the larger storage? did the same thing last year with aura glow but at least its 256gb....going backwards is not for me.
im pissed to say the least...its so frustrating.
i may skip the note and go for the fold 2..unless they screw that up also.

I'd say have a look at the inventory every day or so as it might change. But to your point they do weird ass things. Only the black buds are GWP. I tried adding the bronze ones and they were charged on the invoice. Other than that I'm really excited about the phone.

i was 1000% sure id get it but the colour thing then the fact that its not quite as ultra as the S20 is pisses me off lol (granted Im easily pissed off haha).
less ram, lesser cameras,smaller battery, no 45 w charge etc etc. they left alot on the table.
just seems like they got lazy and just didn't bother to try and outdo the S20 and the note is supposed to be the flagship.

That's the thing though. It is better than the S20 UFS 3.1, SD865+, GG Vertus laser auto focus. The latter addresses my biggest issue with the Ultra. I actually downgraded to the s20+ which I think is better than the ultra. For a lot of people, me included the note 20 ultra is a better value proposition than the S20 ultra.
The battery is smaller but the refresh rate switches to accommodate the lesser battery. That combined with the fact that even the s20 5000mah ultra battery couldn't beat the iPhone 11 Pro Max's 3960mah battery makes the whole battery argument a moot point for me. It charges fast and last the whole day. That's all I need.

I bit the bullet and just pre-ordered the black Note 20 Ultra 512GB. Bronze is ok but at least by pics it's just not for me and when I first strayed from black was with the Note 7 so I feel cursed if I buy anything other than black hahaha. I love my Note 10+ but my wife is ready for an upgrade (well at least in my mind she is lol) from her S8 and since I love new toys I will give her my Note 10+ then we're both set for a couple years easy lol. That's my way of justifying the purchase heh.

lol....you know me too well Butchie.
im gona wait for a bit and see what happens.
really love the bronze since its kinda like my copper metallic Note 9 but i def need 512gb.
I went with that storage on Note 9 and I don't use it at all so I figured why bother on Ultra. And all my devices are black except N9 and loved the bronze

my 256gb note 10 plus has about 30gb free...im definitely going to run out in the next few months.
I used to keep everything on my sd card...then my first note 9 got stolen from my gym and the prick who stole it has full access to all my pics etc since he can just pull the sd card out.
since then everything stays on my internal since its almost impossible to get into a locked phone these days.
I do to much tinkering and always accidentally wipe my internal storage..lol

Why does Samsung not offer dual sim models in Canada? I have a note 10 and had to order an international version to get dual sim. I am not going back to carrying two phones again!
Cracked screen trade-in (Can vs US)
So the BS continues for us Canadians, I did the comparison of trade-in values on cracked screens.
My NOTE 9 trade-in value in Canada is $38 where as in the states same phone is $350.
We're getting a crippled version of the Watch 3 because of slow government acceptance and we have to pay over 2k for NOTE 20 Ultra (512GB) with one color option...
Also, the fine print for the 0% financing option says there's a $6.95 monthly fee but hey ZERO PERCENT INTEREST!
I think someone should supply a shovel, it's getting deeper by the day.

Oh we're far from perfect, better yes but definitely not close to perfection. Just look at our exchange rate for one. I lose a quarter for every Canadian dollar, there's one thing you 'mericans are doing better, taking us to the cleaners

in a perfect country I could open carry, if I got caught with a firearm on me here i go to jail.
Here in Canada if someone breaks into my house and I shoot them I go to jail.
about as far from perfect as it gets, more like totally backwards.
about as OT as it gets lol.

What? $6.95 monthly fee? Crazy. My an was to pay it all off in one lump sum on October 5th when the 1st payment is due. Well now I'm even more motivated. Thanks for the info. ?
