Gonna stick to Note 4
I like GalaxyS6Edge but i am going to stick to Note4 because SPen. By the way, SdCard and Removable battery are also my main reasons.

Sticking to S4 until I find a quality phone with MicroSD
Sent from my last Samsung device....

Micro SD card get the m9.
For 5years I had several htc devices back to touch HD and now m8. The point was I hated Samsung for their plastic devices and TouchWiz. Imo sense is way better.
But now with the s6 edge samsung has done everything I expected. Metal Frame and unbloated TouchWiz. So I will switch to the s6 cuz for me it has the more advantages then the m9. I will miss sense and the speakers, but I will get a fantastic camera and design.

The only smartphones I have owned are the SG1 and 4. Contract is up at the end of the month so the 6E it is. Never had any issues with both phones.

from a Note 4
loving the premium build and specs on the s6 edge

Going to be coming from the G3.
Mainly for the green model and because the M9 is underwhelming. Also to have a new piece of tech to play with

Moving to the S6 Edge 128 from my HTC One XL (Evita) because it's just about time lol. Also my device now suffers from excessive random reboots and severe battery drain issues.
Small chance I might go with the HTC One M9, but I'm strongly leaning S6 Edge at this point.

My smartphone evolution: S3, Xperia ZL (only one week), S4, Oppo Find7a and last but not least Xperia Z3.
The S3 remains in my possession in case of loosing/destroying my current smartphone... it's a reserve. The Z3 is a really nice device but the camera isn't a point and shoot one.
After skipping the S5 (didn't like the backside) the S6 is a Samsung phone that attracted my attention again in spite of the glass back (Z3), the non removable battery (Z3) and the missing sd-slot (I lost many, many data because of a broken sd card!!!).
Perhaps Otterbox designs a water/dust/shockproof case for the S6...that would be great...waterproofing is a nice to have feature but it's nonessential.

Probably going to switch from a Note 4 because after having the iPhone 6 I always told myself my perfect phone would be Android running on the iPhone 6 hardware with the iPhone 6 camera... the GS6 looks to achieve that

Once I see what LG has in stock, I might move over from my G3. I have unlimited data on vzw so I'm not too concerned about storage and as long as the battery does well in the reviews, I might consider it since I do like the new look.

From note 3 because I want the fastest and best phone on the market aka s6. Also want to have a smaller phone (Higher PPI yeaaah)

Current device: note 3
Reasoning: really hoping to, but not switching mainly because of the lack of SD slot and removable battery. I love their choice of new materials, but not worth sacrificing the usefulness of those features (swap batteries often and like multiple SD cards for back up/romming/music/etc.). Additionally, I've always opted for snapdragon variants (although I am not opposed to exynos, but that real world performance remains to be seen in this case), and the extreme protrusion of the camera is a real turn off.

Coming from M8 after a really good two year journey with HTC... I have very high expectations for the S6.

The price is definitely a concern to me since if I was going to get one, I would go with the 128GB model to get over the fact that I don't have an SD card anymore. Thank god I have a partner that allows me to buy stupidly pricey stuff every so often. As far as the locked boot loader, I would have to see how people are able to build out custom ROMS that run on Sense. Especially with the Edge model, I'm wondering if running on Sense might allow for the extra features on the phone to run better or at all. I always run Nova as my launcher so Touchwiz's interface would be running in the back instead of in my face all the time. On top of that, this would hardly be the first phone I've used that had a locked bootloader that the dev community has managed to get unlocked. We have some very talented people on this site that manage to do some very cool stuff. I remember in the early days of the M8, people were saying that we were doomed to get the device fully unlocked. Now, it's very easy to get that thing running fully unlocked. Plus, if we're super lucky, Samsung might release a developer edition with at least 64GB if not 128.

Have you ever used the iPhone 6 camera? It is bar none the best camera available in almost every light. I love my Note 4 but it gets thrashed by the wifes iPhone in everything but outdoor sunlight. The focus time is the real difference.

We aren't talking about the Note 4 camera. We are talking about the camera on the S6. This is going to be the best camera in a smart phone upon release. The iPhone will be a distant second. By the way, you might be the first person I've heard that has anything negative to say about the pics rom the Note 4. I personally don't have one, but everyone I know that has one thinks it blows the iPhone away.

Coming from a One plus one. Just sold it on swappa and also sold my moto 360 just in case the device is a little more expensive. all in all , have $800 to spend. Lookiing at the 64GB Edge version. hopefully its just 750 and I use the other 50 to get a case or something,
Why? well honestly, I wanted the iphone 6 design with android and samsung has accomplished this (not something to be proud of). Also because of the fingerprint scanner, the speed of the device, the smaller screen compared to my 1+1, and samsung pay. oh and the attention grabbing aspect of the 6 edge

Note 5 vs LG V10?

Soooo, I got a Trial Note 5 to play with, as I have had a Note 3, 4 in the past and other phones like the iPhone. But I also have a LG V10 I am trying too right now. For the life of me, I wanted to like the V10, but I am having a HARD time adjusting to the buttons on the back. It also has a bit of LAG to it where the Note 5 never shows it any more. My Note 4 definitely had lag.
Anyone else use a V10 to try and go back to the Note? I like the replaceable battery and SD Card 200gb.

Note 5 murder the v10 in terms of performance, screen quality and battery, V10 has higher quality audio, more video control micro SD and removable battery, the Note5 also got S Pen- it got many awesome features.
Take the V10 if- you need a phone NOW, it has to be with microSD and removable battery, and don't care about mid heavy 3D game performance, also V10 has locked bootloader and unlikely will be unlocked if G4 is any indication.
Take the Note 5 if- you need a phone NOW, you need the best performance, best screen, camera is slightly better than V10, though V10 has slight advantage in low light shots, you need more function from the phone aka S Pen features., if you care about instant root and unlocked bootloader too.
Wait after Feb 21, as Galaxy S7 and G5 will be announced, the GS7 will have it's micro SD back.

I just packed up the V10 to sell again on Swappa. I can't stand it any more. I'll see if I can wait till Feb. 21st. But may just get a Note 5. Any benefits between the Note 5 and S6 Edge plus?

Software wise v10 wins but has no root as far as I I know

I had a 32gb Note 5 and jumped to the v10 when they had the battery/200gb sd promo! The v10 was fun for a change due to ive had the note 2,3,4 and 5 as my last phones but i love the feel of the note and had yo jump back lol...Im running the MM 6.0 beta on my tmo Note 5 and it flys with zero lag!!!! Cant wait for the official update!!! But hands down the Note 5 is better but the v10 was pretty damn good for what it was!

Well if u fixed on the Note then get it now, it won't likely go down in price, or go down slightly in price as Galaxy and Note series are aimed at different crowd.
Note main feature is the S-Pen, although i don't use it as much but when i do, it's totally helping me to achieve certain tasks, i also like how the Note looks.
S6 Edge plus is just curved from the edges, Android 6 should get it even better, more function would be possible by the edge strips.
All other they have the same SOC, edge might look for appealing but it's up to u.

y u quoting this? i answered before.

I had the Note5 when it released, and went to the V10 when it released. I am going back to the Note5.
The V10 has been a great phone. I can't begin to explain how nice it is to almost never have to plug in to charge - I always swap batteries instead. The camera on the V10 has a bit more fine-tuning, and much better low light potential, but in automatic point/shoot the Note5 seems to win in most camera comparisons. I also very rarely take pictures... even though the V10's camera was a huge selling point for me, I have no real use for it. Note5 will also outperform the V10, obviously. The audio quality on the Note5 certainly isn't poor, and I really don't notice the V10 being better with my $1,500 AKG K812 headphones, or $1,000 Shure SE846 IEMs - they're low impedance, so either phone drives them fine. The nice thing about the Note5 is having the built-in equalizer, whereas the V10 has none. The biggest selling point for the Note5 though, is the screen. OLED cannot be beat by an LCD. I have an LG OLED TV, and tried to buy a Samsung LCD for use elsewhere, but returned it - the quality is garbage compared to OLED. You're looking at the screen the whole time you're really using a phone - why not have the best screen possible? The lack of SD for Samsung kind of sucks because I have the 200GB card from the V10, but even with that, I have not used over 40GB counting internal storage as well, so the 64GB Note5 will be fine for me. I used to really think the S-pen was cool, but barely used that either. But it's still nice to have. I kind of wish the Note5 used on-screen buttons, but having that extra screen real-estate is nice.
Either phone is a great choice. As you can see I'm back and forth on certain points, haha. If the V10 had an OLED screen and better processor, I'd certainly stay with it. Kind of funny how LG dominates the OLED TV market, yet Samsung dominates the OLED phone display market.

I went from the Note 4 to a v10 mainly for the removable battery & SD. I had it for almost a month before trading it in for a note 5. Don't get me wrong- its a great phone, and at first I really loved it. But after a couple weeks I found myself growing more and more frustrated with it, mainly because of the awkward rear buttons and the bad battery life. The second battery I got from the promo was a necessity cause it simply would not last me the whole day even with battery-saving tweaks and a custom rom. The Samsung home button was still programmed into my muscle memory as well and I kept catching myself poking at the lower edge of the phone to turn it on. It was annoying to not have it there anymore. The fingerprint scanner rarely ever worked and I ended up just disabling it, which really sucked cause it was one of the features that drew me to it in the first place. I never realized how much I used the S-pen until it wasn't there anymore. I missed having hard buttons and found myself hating the stupid screen-shortening soft buttons. It's supposed to have the best camera on the market, but no matter what I did all my shots were either noisy or slightly blurry. I could go on, but you get it.
By the time I finally admitted to myself that there were more things I didn't like about it than things I did, it was too late to just return it and my only option was to do a jump upgrade to another phone. I didn't want to enter into another device payment for another note 4, so I grudgingly got a 64gb note 5 instead fully expecting to hate it, but ended up absolutely loving it. It's fast, I regularly end my days with 40% battery left, and I have full use of my whole screen again. Yes, no SD sucks but it forced me to finally go through all the crap I thought I needed to carry with me everywhere and found I didn't really need 2/3 of it. Got rid of about 25 gigs of music I haven't listened to in years, and rehomed my 128gb card in my tablet. I'm eating a bit of crow after all the crap I talked about the note 5 but I'm very, very happy with this phone.

I had G4 and while i played with the V10, they not that different, the v10 is better than G4 but not by that much. in fact, G4 is one of the worst phones i ever used, v10 is slightly above it.
If LG could make they own CPU that would rival 7420, unlocked bootloader without any drama and improve their LG UI and software, as i find the new touchwiz far better than lg, then they might tickle the Note 5, but seriously they both aimed at same yet different people, if u want best of the best of all except SD card and removable battery, you take the Note5.
If u mainly care about camera and sd card and battery to swap on the go, you go with V10, oh btw just recently LG recalled a lot of G4 that stuck in a bootloop because the connector inside are not well connected.

Funny you mention that... I find the current versions if TouchWiz much better than LG's skin too...
TouchWiz is to the point I kind of actually like it. I miss some of the features and layout when using my nexus devices. Never thought I would say that!

TouchWiz on MM is not that much different than it is on LP in terms of features. Though the beta we have isn't final so who knows exactly what is changed. I do like what I have seen so far in the MM beta though as it is even smoother than LP.

Most people wanna hate the note 5 but after using one you will love it.

Both are great phones. LG has come a long ways.
I came from a note 5 to a G4, then a V10, and today, got some the note 5 again.
The note 5 is more polished then the V10. The V10 handed the Microsoft apps much better and the video was better. It was tough for me.

Amen. I talked so much crap about this phone, damning it as a failure because of no SD card, no ir, no removable battery, etc, but now that I have one I love it to death.

I had the V10 for a bit and thought I loved it, but the moment I picked up a Note 5 I knew I had to get one instead. I didn't have to think twice about ditching the V10, there is NO comparison when it comes to the Note 5. I have been a hardcore Samsung hater ever since the Galaxy S3 came out (The GS2 Epic 4G Touch is still one of my all time favs), but they completely won me back with the Note 5. It has literally changed the way I use my phone. I used to think I was a power user, but I didn't know how much of a power user I would become when I first got the Note, it has some seriously game changing features for me (notably split screen and everything the SPen allows). I rely far more on the capabilities of the Note 5 than on any device I have had before. The V10 is barely a memory anymore. The Note 5 is easily the greatest smartphone ever created, there is nothing else that comes close.

Ppl keep talking bout detouchwiz-ing note 5. I've tried nova launcher and Google now launcher and always found myself coming back to the touchwiz launcher. I can't live without the s planner (calender) widget, which didn't work which either launchers.
Been note 2, 3, 4 and 5 user. There is absolutely no lag on note 5. There is absolutely nothing wrong with touchwiz
Love my note 5 to bits!!

Anyone jumping to the Note 7?

Is anyone jumping from their S7 Edge to the Note 7?
If so or if not, what are your reasons behind it?
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app

The only way I would is if my S7 Edge was still within return policy. Otherwise I cannot see how anyone could logically justify paying the full price for a Note 7 if they already have an S7 Edge.
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Nah, very happy with the S7 Edge, the best phone I've ever owned. I enjoyed the stylus on my Note 3, but not to the point where I'd bother with the extra expense of another upgrade only 4-5 months into a 24 month contract. Also, thanks to Vodafone messing me around at the start of the contract in March I have a deal I'd never get on the Note 7, paying only £75 a month for two S7 Edge phones (one for me and one for the wife) with unlimited mins/texts and 15gb of data a month per phone. With 2x Spotify premium accounts thrown in for free.
Besides, the differences in terms of hardware is negligible and this forum has already started introducing roms based upon the Note 7. From what I can see, the stylus and Type-C USB are the only real differences under the hood.

sounds like entering funny (sorry but I think iris scanning is funny and will not have health/radiation certificate for eyes) space station with low fuel (3500mah) and many other problems (possibly battery drain, bad firmwares, questionable IP68 and Gorilla Glass, camera problems -like pink dots in HDR on, bad front camera quality) by paying 850€ to the ticket. Definitely stay in S7 Edge and wait Nougat...

It has an iris scanner (wich needs you to swipe the screen first and then calibrate and then whatever the f..) (wich doesnt work in the dark) (fingerprint - max 2 seconds / iris scanner - 4-5 seconds *you need light.) and a stylus. Thats an s7 edge with those 2 things. The stylus is ok for drawing. Period. If you have a hand to hold it you have fingers.
Perfromance - s7 scored 140k benchmark points when it was first released. Note 7 scored 144k. It has a newer software but with android nougat we will have the same software with little changes.
Is note 7 better? Yes.
Do i feel the urge to change my s7 with a note 7?
No,because im not that guy wich films both phones at 240f/s to see that one is faster by 2 nanoseconds.
Phones should be changed at every 2 years. Maybe once a year if it really has "a gallaxy of possibilities" more than the older phone has.
Changing my phone from 5 to 5 months? For a stylus? NOPE.
If 1.2k $ were my lunch money yea i'd change it,but as it isn't..no.
I really dont feel the need for a better phone. I feel the need of 2k games and apps,wich actual gameplay and funny stuff i like. Even with my Grand Prime all the apps were buttery smooth...more or less. Grand prime has a 20k points on antutu,my personal s7 has 134k. If i dont feel that difference i wont feel a 10k points difference.
Again - note 7 is a beast. I'd buy it if i had a flip phone,but i have the s7 edge. It doesnt worth the upgrade.

Why change.
Same soc
Same ram size.
No performance improvement only more bloatware because of the pen.

Had I not got the 7Edge a few months back ... yes, I probably would buy the Note.
As is, there is minimal difference so I won't spend to much thought on it.
The phone I keep an eye out for now is the LG V20. - It's the only one of interest for me for now. Lack of weather proofing could be a deal breaker though.

cause I'm asking why u talk about a LG phone on the note 7 thread :v

I'm thinking about it. I got my s7e free. Reason I'm thinking about it besides the nice little improvements is
1: the screen size. I came from an LG V10
2: More internal memory
3: iris scanner actually sounds awesome. I'd mostly use the fingerprint sensor more for unlocking but Samsung is said to be working with banks to incorporate it with mobile banking.
I actually think the pen looks cool but not exactly sure how much I'd use it. USB type c also looks bad ass but could be a pain not having a ton of them laying around.
@QBerto I believe he was talking about LG in response to the comment above his.
@hello00 The G4 and V10 we're tons better. Don't know about the G5 but seemed like they were in the right direction.

The screen size difference between the Note 7 and S7 Edge really isn't worth the upgrade. I came from a Note 3 (same screen size as the Note 7 at 5.7") and I barely noticed the difference.

If I didn't have JOD probably not. Since I do why not. The monthly price is a little more by a few dollars I think,and I get the pen back. Not to mention the blue color.

To tell you the truth:
My biggest mistake was selling my S6 Edge+
The S7 Edge display is - in my opinion - more disturbing than helping. Good phone yes but the curved display is making more mistakes than it is helpful.
Just my opinion. If the S7 - NOT EDGE - would be availibe in 5.5" or 5.7" I would change to asap.

might consider it if t-mobile throws in a BOGO on the notes, like with the s7 edges, where i got additional 2 gear vrs and 2 year of netflix.

Nexus 6P HANDS DOWN. I own both, and that's a freaking steal lol...the 6p has been out for a year, yes, but it's a fantastic device. Plus the custom rom'ing ability, etc. is unmatched. As long as there's nothing wrong with it I'm sure but you'd be stupid to not take that up imho

What about screen brightness on Android Nougat?
What about colors on screen?
Also video recording?
I read it is really point where S6 is much better and that is important to me as designer.
Thanks

Brightness on nougat is for me high, but thats probably the phone... i dont go much higher then 50% brightness.
that is really something you dont want someone else his opinion about?! I recommend that you go to a phone store and try them both out... see how you like the screens of both phones?! Isnt this also software that gives you different screen color/brightness? You can always adjust with kcal control of a custom kernel?! Or just compare the screen specs?

i've had both.
the freedom of the nexus hands down.
6p on nougat is fine, using PureNexus right now. with the amount of mods you can tweak the 6p to however you like

no way, GS6 sucks compared to the 6P...
Owned both (GS6 and GS6 edge, and 6P, and the nexus is far far more interesting to own in the end of 2016.)

6P all the way, especially with the specs and XDA development....

Thanks guys for support, what about MIDI? I use Soundcamp on Samsung for my MIDI keyboard?

My personal opinion is the nexus 6p. It's a great phone and huge support here too.

Depends on the storage size of both devices. If its 32gb, I would pass unless its cosmetic/defect free and I could sell for larger storage.
32gb=20ish free storage.

I think these photos attached should sway your decision to liking the 6P over the S6
These are wholesale prices, so what I would buy them for over what I would sell them for - meaning the price is higher if you were an everyday customer at my part time job

Hell no. This was my previous phone before my 6P. Only thing better is the camera. The experience is not nearly as fluid or smooth as the 6P and battery life was not as good either.
If it was a S7 edge, then I may consider

Why I think, just randomly all of you guys understand that I have Nexus and want to give it for Galaxy S6 Edge?

Nexus 6P all the way.
Unless you're into gimmicky features and Samsungs design

25.9 to be exact so 26gb

Just stabilization would mean 100%, but without OIS I am at 90%

Nexus 6P No Question!
6P most definitely. We have both in our family. I absolutely detest the Galaxy when I have to use it. It seems so much slower and less responsive than the Nexus 6P. I could go on and on about all of the things I like better about the Nexus and could come up with nothing I like better on the Samsung. That says it all.

Should I give up my S7E for a unlocked v20 or iphone?

I currently have an S7 Edge I got when I had to return my Note 7. Is it worth the money to switch to the V20 unlocked version that BH sells even though it doesn't offer Wifi Calling? Also I hear about the camera glass breaking on it as well easily.
Finally, would the iPhone 7 Plus be a better alternative to the V20?
I'm seriously thinking about it and wondering what v20 users think.

Few comparisons.
For Better camera : stay with S7E. Awesome low light pics .
For Screen size : Go for V20 larger displays.
For Screen resolution : stay with S7E way better resolution
Edge vs 2nd screen : v20 I am finding it more useful then S7E.
Power button : stay with S7E don't have to lift the phone to power on with S7E . V20 power button is in the back .
Notifications : S7E has notifications light . V20 doesn't. Notifications on 2nd screen .
For mobile pay : S7E is winner Samsung pay. V20 Android pay is hit and miss.
Removable battery : Go for V20
Wireless charging : S7E , v 20 doesn't have this feature.
Will never go for iPhone there is no comparison between all 3. Hands down android any day.
Actually as I am typing this planing to go back to my S7E . Lol
Hope this helps

I get bored with phones lol. I had the s7 edge back in march, then bought the Note 7 then had to return that and got the Edge. Nearly got the iphone plus instead of the Edge but it was out of stock. Now i see the v20 with a larger screen and more features.
Also better cases for teh v20 that are more protective because it has a flat screen. Im using a Defender for the Edge which this screen protector actually fits tight to the screen but you have to tap hard because it's a thicker kind of plastic. Im thinking about getting Speck candygrip shell for it and sticking with the edge maybe.

Actually, you don't need the power button except you want to turn the phone off/restart the phone.
Hit the screen twice can turn the screen on/off

I had the s7 then went for the note 7 and when I had to turn that back in I went with the s7 edge. The edge was an ok phone but I felt it was a downgrade from the note 7.
This is how I rate the edge to the v20.
Screen Samsung wins it hands down for brightness and auto brightness. Where as the v20 seems to not know what the correct amount should be. Plus the color on the edge is more vibrant and richer than the v20.
Camera ill just say toss up as the note 7 spoiled me.
The second screen on the v20 is very useful if you want to switch between two apps a lot and don't want to press the square. Also taking screenshots is a breeze with that also. I just hope they come out with more function for the second screen as it has potential. The edge screen I hated as if you was typing in landscape it would pick up touches from the inside of my thumb and index finger.
If you need water resistant then keep the edge but where v20 gives that up you do get a removable battery. That can allow the phone to last longer and keep you from cracking open a sealed device when you have a battery issue and want to replace.
I don't care where the power button is placed. As with all my cellphones over the years has had then in all different locations. So up to you if that's an issue or not but with it in the back and recessed it keeps from being turned on like with the Samsung phones. So that can be a plus in the v20 side.
I do miss Samsung pay and wish the app could be placed on any phone and not Samsung only. I have gift cards on my account but guess I'll just use my s6 edge plus for that. So if you don't have a backup Samsung device might be hard to use your cards.
Big plus for the V20 is the built in DAC for headphones. I'd you have higher end buds or phones the fax will engage and makes it sound way better than the stock sound chip. Was the one reason I got this phone was to try the dac. Sure it can't compete with the stand alone dac/amps but for portability the phones dac works surprisingly well. If you want to trick the dac to turn on because your headsets resistance is low. Just buy a little male/female aux cable and plug that in first then your headsets and it tricks it on. Be careful. As it can damage the cheaper headsets/buds
In the end both phones are good devices and each has their strong points. Swapped the s7 edge for the v20 because I had a. Note 7 and felt the edge was a step backwards.
So hope this helps you and as far as the v20 camera glass breaking easily. Take that with a grain of salt. You don't know how the person treated their phone. The same thing went on when the HTC One M7 came out. People blamed everyone but themselves. First thing all them people on rhw HTC one site would say is I babied my phone. I had a HTC one for 2 years and my lens never cracked.
Good luck on your choice in phone

I came from the Note 5 if that helps. I had edge features modded in and I never really found them useful. The first week it's like yeah this is awesome than after that your like meh. I honestly have found the V20 to be a pretty good experience so far. It's easier to develop and the community on it has grown tremendously already. I see a bright future for the V20 just give it time.

Even me i think to swapping the v20 because the battery ln stand by is not good also i missed the LED notification? but at the same time i like the lg software more then samsung double tap ,gallery ,ir.... .
If go to the battery life section all the results is awesome? compared to v20 actually i think to wait until th G6 or S8 release then i will decide which one go with .
Sent from my LG-H990 using Tapatalk

if I were you i'll just going to wait for the S8...
the only good thing about the LG v20 is just the removable battery...

If you get an iphone you wont need the xda app i guess. See you in 2 years.

I was in the exact same bought. I had an S7E, then bought Note 7, then had to return Note 7, so bought an iPhone 7 Plus. Stayed on the iphone for about 3 days, but couldnt take it anymore so bought an S7E again. Then I started missing the 5.7 inch screen so went for V20 !
In my honest opinion after trying out every damn option out there is that they are ALL THE SAME. I really say which is BETTER between Note 7, iphone7+, S7E, and even Pixel XL. They are all good. Sure, each one have advantages but thats about it. Neither one has a BAD camera. neither has a BAD screen, you know ?
Now considering that, the key thing for me boils down to price. and that is different in each part of the world. here in New Zealand, i have to pay 1600$ for a 128GB iPhone 7 Plus, 1400$ for 128GB Pixel XL, and 900$ for V20 or S7E. So the choice is clear really.
Between S7E and V20, i would defintly go for V20 having tried both. once the S7e gets the final non-beta nougat update and receives all the features the Note 7 had, then it can contend with V20.
at the end of the day, i am thankful for so many good options ! haha

SO just to clarify, if you need to add alot of money on top of your S7E for a V20, then i wouldnt suggest doing it, because you dont REALLY get anything extra, especially when the Nougat update hits the S7e. but if you dont have to add much money and you are looking for something new, then you will definitely love the V20.

IS the unlocked version worth it even though it's missing wifi calling?

No. I sold my LG V20 today. very bad battery life, I had running out of battery in 6 hours. I had Note 7 and had been using all Note series. S7E is the best option for you right now. I bought Huawei Mate 9 and I'm very happy, I like it because I have also been using Mate 8 before. I don't think you will consider it, so my suggestion is to stick with S7E.

Yes, knew some of you will feel like that. Me and my brother bought my LG V20 after reading reviews here for all the good functions, especially the battery life. I had a spare battery set, but then if the battery lasts only 6-7 hours, then even 2 batteries weren't enough. I have installed Accubattery and it showed sometimes it drains 1700 to 2000 ma per hour. Even if I would turn off the data and WiFi. I even tried Greenify. Even blocked background data for many apps. Maybe my model here in Hong Kong is more affected. But anyway, after receiving 3 updates, it was still same, looks like all updates were for security patches. I miss my Galaxy Note 7, but Huawei Mate 9 gives me similar feel, except the waterproofing, which I don't think is going to be a big problem.
