I need a phone to replace my aging and failing Note 4.
The question is: get this OP5 6/64 or S7 edge exynos (935f). Both are apparently rootable and bootloader unlockable from what I can tell. I understand it's exynos vs sd835 and 2k screen vs 1080 but I find the s7 more refined (and waterproof, I'm from Florida and I'm constantly on the water)
Talk me in or out of either.
Thanks.

Compared photos on gsmarena, S7 has better camera.
I think battery should be comparable, 400 mAh less, but SD835 is better at battery savings .
I bought this and I am selling my US S7Edge, personally the specs are much better on this phone and I hate the curved screen of the S7Edge it's completely worthless....
Both are priced similarly, that's where I'm stuck.

This one is actually an easy choice. I would say go with the oneplus 5. If it was the s8 it would be a much more difficult choice.

Here's a few reasons to go with the OP5.
Unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device does not void your warranty. It does with the s7.
Snapdragon 835 will outperform that Exynos processor in this case.
Oxygen OS constantly updated
Dual sim
S7 reasons
If you need VR, the S7 has a 2K screen.
S7 is IP68.
Photos are likely to be great on both.
I ended up pulling the trigger on a new s8+ for $470. If worse comes to worse I can sell it for at least that much.

Exactly what I was thinking!!!
Yea, the unidays discount with a .edu email, plus $200 off with any phone to trade in (I have an old burner phone). Check on SD. I couldn't say no to that price. I find the s8 more refined and the devs here are inches away from unlocking bootloader and achieving root. A no brainier in my book.

What part number did you get? Just wondering if you can unlock the bootloader. Or root. I would use an S4 over and s8 if I had to go without root.
At this moment in time it's between the HTC 11 and the one plus 5. Nothing else comes close.

At 470 for an s8 plus, I think it's a fantastic deal. Even though I'm a Japanese Honda Toyota fan, if you walked away with a 2017 new camaro fully loaded new for 15-17 grand, I'm going to be pretty happy for you. Despite the fact I wanted you in a Camry or Accord lol.

Why would you buy this if you can get the same and more with the LG v20
Yes! It's really gorgeous....I love it!
i do have to admit that for years, i claimed i would buy new a Htc phone if it was within phablet territory and Qhd.
the no audio jack is such a stupid FAIL though.
When will htc realise that they cant afford to play apples silly games?
I would prefer htc u ultra to the v20, but the no audio jack......... besides samsung and xiaomi will make more stunning phones. than the u ultra

It's also bigger then the pixel XL and v20 by size (obvisoly bigger that the note 7).
No AMOLED and smaller battery.
I wanted to buy this so much but there are so many stupid mistakes.
The headphone jack.is not a big deal.since there is an adapter which is not an issue.
I am thinking of buying this phone, I currently have a Huawei P9 Plus. However the delay in availability, the relatively small battery and lack of 3.5mm jack doesn't make it certain for me. The LG G6 or Samsung Galaxy S8 could convince me otherwise in the next month or so.

Oh I bet they will.
s8 is gonna have a bigger screen on a small body, water resistance and an easy to use headphone jack
people think the adapter makes it ok. it doesnt, cos its a small , extra part that can easily get lost.
i have OTGs , so i know
Htc are releasing the phone that they should have released 2 years ago.
THey are so far behind the times, its beyond stupid for a desperate company
I am never getting samsung again. I had the note 5 galaxy s7edge and the note 7. I hated them all. They were solid, beautiful and the camera kicked ass but the user experience was horrible. I still had the lag and things just crashed.
I think it will be a solid device and will give HTC another chance

I bought it. I had the V20 and their support is crap. HTC over the years has given me far better support than LG has. I ended up forcing T-Mobile to allow me to return my V20 and ended up buying an iPhone since I don't like Samsung.
I understand it doesn't have the 835 and doesn't make me a sandwich but if it provides me with a clean experience like I had with the 10 I would be glad. So far HTC has provided me with a overall better experience than LG and Samsung has given me. I will give it to Samsung about the Note 7 being the best device they made in a while.
I bought one, previously on Pixel XL.

I'm about to buy one from Hong Kong and want to make sure that all the LTE bands are
present for North America.

Why not buy from HTC.com in the US site, it says releases mid March which is only few weeks away. Generally global HTC phones don't have all three US LTE bands. If I were you I would purchase from US site since it also has the OH Oh protection if you break the phone.
Hello fellow Canadians ,
Let's get it started , I already have preorder my gs8+ in black from Samsung website. So let's start the discussions on it.
Edit:
As on June 2, only exynos version can be rooted. So do your self a favor and get that model instead

Technically speaking Samsung Canada contracts out their sales to two different companies. One runs the Samsung Experience stores that have a physical presence in certain malls. Online sales are handed off to Tech Data Canada which is based in Mississauga Ontario.
Pre ordered mine from Telus. Was going to do samsung too until I saw that they are not getting the timely updates one would expect. Unlocked s7/edge is still on Marshmallow. Yuk! Anyway super stoked. Telus might start shipping for as early as the 17th. Fingers crossed! [emoji4]

I won't ever order an unlocked phone again. The Galaxy S7 Edge unlocked phone (G935U) still doesn't have nougat. It just got March security updates and the last ones were December. On top of that, the people that preordered the Gear S3 from Samsung Canada, had to wait over a month from those who ordered from Best Buy.

I wish I could pre-order from my carrier too but I don't want to change my plan and Telus doesn't allow you to just outright pre-order purchase the phone. After my last experience with Tech Data over the Note7 pre-order, I don't feel at all assured that I made the right choice. I remember getting my Note 7 after the release date, even though I pre-ordered it practically within the same hour the window opened!
Don't forget to register for the free gear vr! You have to fill out this form for Samsung in order to receive the gift. Fill it out and when you get your phone, register it and Samsung will send your Gear VR. This should be interesting to see who actually gets it.

Im a little surprised and more than a little annoyed those idiots at samsung are not making the silver and gold versions available at launch here.
God they are stupid and shortsighted. After the huge note 7 fail one would think they would want to sell as many s8's as possible. Which would mean making all colours available.
I pre ordered anyway but will swap it for a sliver or gold exynos version like i did with the note 7 and s7 edge.
Not off to a great start samsung.

Should I sell My S8+ for the 8GB Ram Version of The Oneplus 5.... Pros and Cons?
I'm returning my S8+ that I have via JOD and getting the OP5 8GB model.
Pros.... you might get some of your money back even after buying it. The S8+ dropped in value recently its already down 120 or 150 dollars at my local carriers in my town. If you are thinking about selling it, then sell it. Its only going to go down. Samsung devices dont retain value that well. They sorta drop to the 200 dollar range and stay there forever. You can already get an S7 Edge for 240 dollars..... So..... i hope that alone speaks enough to you. OnePlus devices retain value very nicely. The oneplus one is still 220 dollars in most places. the 2 is like 240 the X is probably 200 somewhere i dont think many people care about that one. and the 3 is still in the mid 300 dollar range. Like 330-350. The 3t is still almost 400 dollars on places like swappa. Keep seeing 385 as the average number.
If you want my opinion rather than just some statements then I would say yes absolutely sell it now. The 835 is very underutilized on the S8+ anyway and most samsung phones are bloated messes. What even is bixby....?
Yeah, i'm concidering that also

I wouldn't.
I still have the oneplus 3, and I still wouldn't upgrade. The only this you're getting is an upgrade CPU and software support.
I'm in the same boat. With the price hike its no longer clear if this a good buy. Specially since the oneplus 5 comes with no IP rating and a 1080p screen. In Canada the oneplus 5 is going to be 680 dollars delivered. The S8 can be found for 700. The pixel XL which has a better camera and older chip is being sold for 600 here . So I cant really consider the oneplus 5 a no brainier.

What are you talking about dude? Galaxy S8 is $1035 CAD without tax, and with tax its $1169.55 (HST 13%). Pixel XL is $949.00 (sale price right now; regular $1049.00) CAD without tax, and with tax its $1072.37.

I also forgot the S8 has an HDR display. YouTube HDR looks stunning on it.
Less bezel is more, which is why I'd personally stick to the S8. Really hoped OP5 would go in a similar direction.

Wasnt going to due to the price being high for a year old device but in the end I caved lol.

I didnt want to take the chance the damn thing sells out and then i cant get one or then re sellers jack the price up even more lol.
That said since they have a few million of these lying around and now that they know people want them samsung would be stupid not to launch it in other countries.

I think I'll pass. I have settled in very nicely with my Galaxy S7 Flat currently. I'll get the Note FE when it's convenient and reasonable to purchase.
Thanks for the offers though. Appreciate it.
Waiting on the Note8, still using my Note7 on Sprint @ 100%

Yeah it was alot more than I expected it to be for a year old device which is refurbished. but with only a limited run of 400k available it may become very hard to get and then of course the price goes up so i figured better get one now at current prices

I've seen conflicting spec sheets as to the processor being used:
Most state an Exynos,a few have listed Qualcomm.
I'm guessing the former,but,this is a rather unique phone,more so given the history/etc.....
Please,if you would,load up an app such as AIDA 64,& post (screenshots) of what ya have.
THX!

THX,I appreciate it.
I'm definitely interested in this phone,having little interest in the upcoming Note8.
I almost kept my T-Mobile Note7 ,glad to have a 2nd chance w/this model.
Hoping a Dual-SIM version rolls out...............

No problemo dude.
And im stoked for this also...been waiting and waiting for it to happen..couple more days lol..
Mine is going to be delivered tomorrow. I am so excited!
I'm Note waiting
Had notes 1,2,3,4,5 and 7. Since the recall(s) I tried the stylo 3 which was OK. But currently I'm rocking a rooted Galaxy Note edge. I ordered the Fe from eBay and I should get it Friday. I had fond memories of the 7. The Note 8 will probably be a Rockstar but I decided to go with a known entity. Hopefully double tap of home button still brings up the camera.
I'm planning on getting one but waiting for an EMEA launch, don't want the Korean variant.
Hopefully we can see an SM-N935F soon.

I was going to wait for the same reason,perhaps a Dual-SIM variant (FD),but,I can get by w/one SIM,my carrier has a virtual number of sorts,to where you can use two numbers w/one SIM (T-MobileUS,DIGITS app).
Just sold my OnePlus5,I'll be ordering a Korean variant tomorrow............

If it's launched in Middle East, there will most probably be an FD variant and the single SIM F variant for Europe, but I'm eagerly waiting for them to announce one outside of Korea so it'll be easier to get.
I wanted to ask if it's worth buying another Note 4 within this year and 2018. I currently have the SM-N910H variant (Exynos), but I want to get one that's SM-N910F variant (Snapdragon). I found one that's about $480 but it's refurbished. Should I consider getting it or should I go for something else? Also forgot to mention that I have a spare ZeroLemon extended battery, since I have a TQTHL extended battery. So that's also why I want to get another Note 4 so I could put it to good use. Thanks In Advance.
Edit: Okay, so I wanted to revive this thread after a couple of months for any new insights on what smartphone to get. So far this year has been somewhat promising, with some disappointments about no headphone jacks and notches. But overall, I'm not sure if it's a good time to consider buying one or holding off till next year. I plan to get the Oneplus 5T during this summer, since the phone does seem like a worthy buy for about 400-500 dollars. I was also thinking about the note 8 or 9, but I don't want to sacrifice an arm and a leg for it. And I've lost faith in Huawei after their announcement about no more unlocked bootloaders. I know that there are plenty more to come, especially during the fall, but will it be worth the wait, since many new smartphones seem to follow the design of notches and no headphone jacks.

480$ refurbished WTF ! In my country i just got refurbished note 4 snapdragon N910T and exynos N910L 2 devices in 280$:laugh:.
Note 4 is still good device but its kind of old now if your budget is 500$ i highly recommend you (one+5) its super fast device 8gb ram+snapdragon 835 dual rear camera etc or my second recommendation will be (s7 edge EXYNOS) excellent device all around.

Thx for the info. I might consider about the OnePlus 5. Actually I did see a Note 4 Snapdragon SM-N910F on Amazon priced at about $268 but the condition of it was used.

I did find one for about $268 dollars, however it has been used though. Also I'm mainly looking for a Snapdragon one since I have the Exynos one already. But I might consider browsing a bit on eBay instead of Amazon.
Personally I would rather get a N910C as the N910F isn't very stable and has a tendency to overheat.
Keeping in mind the eMMC issue that so many on the forums have faced, the refurbished or used Note 4 could be a ticking time bomb. Perhaps better to put your money towards a new phone or at least a phone which doesn't have a history of hardware failures.
i found a N910T on ebay new for 238.00 hopefully it is new. how can you tell if its been referbished? Im switching back from the I 6Splus and cant wait.

I don't know about the C version, but my F version, after a little more than 2.5 years, it overheats for sure. When this happens, it is impossible to use it until it cools down.

I can personally vouch for the N910C. As it runs on the more stable Exynos 5433 SOC.
I just keep rebuilding my note 4 once you get good at seperating the bezel without craking the screen . U can repair any internal issues without haveing to buy a new screen every time. All the new notes have stripped down features. I need my ir blaster and removable battery I don't want to dismantle the phone just to replace the battery each year.
I think this note 4 will be my last phone, simply of the battery removal, and can tack on a 10000mah battery on longer trips, not to mention if you compare the specs between NOTE 4 and the new Iphone X, Note 4 Wins in many categories especially the screen and camera areas, also compare the note 4 to the note 8. Specs are comparable for this 3 year old phone. Works very well. But to @[OP] $480 is bit much. I paid $100 for mine, and they are about 180ish or so around my area.
I'd avoid any Snapdragon-based Note 4s if I were you. Apart from the overheat issue, the Snapdragon variants also suffer from the infamous EMMC issue, which is a deal-breaker.
to me, exynos is the best choice

Except the fact snapdragon version have much more custom ROMs (nougat fully working including, + oreo to come). Well if you have account on xda... then you probably will count it like a big plus

Well that is true that Snapdragon does have a fully working port for nougat. But there is currently a developer who's working on porting nougat onto our Exynos devices. Many devs have given up on it but I feel like he might be the one to get it to work.
I'm still using using my 2.5+ years old n910c with a slightly newer battery and it never disappointed me so far .
Till today I haven't found any phone to be strictly better . All new phones have over note 4 are better SoC and Camera . But the new designs I don't like so much , not to mention luck of removable battery, SD cards, infrared , a proper load speaker etc.
The best upgrade for a note 4 would probably be note 8, but that's insanely priced so...
If you have the money you could get a Mate 9 and that would be a nice moderate upgrade too .

Hello there. Totally worth it. Mine N910F is the best so far. Even G935F and G928F was my ex-phones and the only one pros was the 1h sot over my note 4 snapdragon.
