Yep that should be the best move by Samsung the dual SIM will also have microsd support
Usual crowd is already here, but this is one phone that gets a pass from me. Really nothing on offer here, makes it any superior to Note 4, which itself is a bit of a disaster right now on the current firmware. (disclosure i am comparing it to a nexus 6)

Which is not worth dropping 50k on for (after exchange). Considering it's a downgrade even on size. I currently am using an iPhone 6+ 128 which is nearly full and that's the only way i get with using my nexus 64 for only work.

Diwali is long way they should ideally release it in sept before iPhone 6s
There are many articles published since note 5 launch on 13th. Some mention dat note will b launched in india in sept. In others it is mentioned dat it won't be launched at all as samsung has skipped it for dis tym in india...
It will b their mistake....wat about note series loyalists?

Note loyalist aren't upgrading .... The fanatics are upgrading and Samsung ain't missing India... Note5 would be launched around 1st week of Sept with free wireless charger
Do you think they will release one this year? Because I don't want to buy the s7 edge and months later a new s7 edge comes out. I have the s6 edge+ now

This would be doubtful.
Last year they released the S6 Edge Plus mostly to appease users in Europe that wouldn't be getting the Note 5. Their records showed that under 20--percent of users in europe the S-Pen and just wanted the Note device for the large form factor. This is mostly why the Edge+ even got made.
This year however, they have decided to release the Edge itself as a larger device. There is no benefit to releasing an S7 edge plus this year. However, we may see a Note 6 and Note 6 Edge. We will be seeing the Note released throughout Europe as well.

What do you mean with that? Do you for fully real THINK that Samsung will release after few months a NEW Edge? Why the freakin' crap should they when they always released their phones once in a year?
I'd say it's unlikely. I feel as if they're only going to release the Note 6 this summer.
Why?
The s7 edge appeals to both s6 edge+ and s6 edge users with a 5.5" screen. If Samsung were to hypothetically make a S7 edge+ it'd have have a ~6.0" screen for product differentiation. On top of that the sales were not that great with the s6 edge+ in comparison to the note 5. Oh and let's not forget that confusing naming convention they're likely trying to oust.

have you ever heard about s6 edge+? it was released shortly after..exactly
I don't think they will... Simply because why make the S7 EDGE is bigger. S6 vs S6 edge were the same size. the S6E+ was larger. What are they going to do make a even bigger one? I don't think they'll do it this time around.
I only discussed this yesterday with someone who said they were waiting for it before updating. I'll put money on Samsung not releasing a plus variant of the S7.
Beefheart said:
I really can't see it. The Note 7 Edge is 5.5" so unless they plan to take it up to 6" as I said earlier, they won't be releasing an interim device because it has a bigger screen. And 6" for a phone is too much. As for the camera and storage, neither is a reason to bring a new device out before the S8 in the first quarter of next year. The S7 has expandable storage and comes in a 64gb flavour already in some territories. Why bother with 128gb when it can be expanded via the SD slot for far less money? And the camera is already the best on the market at this time.
The S6 Edge+ made sense, as for some the S6 Edge wasn't big enough and they avoided it as a result. That doesn't apply to the S7 Edge. In short, holding off because you have a good enough device in the S6+ is fine and makes sense. But don't do it because you think they will release an interim device less than 6 months down the line, I strongly suspect you will be disappointed.

I don't think a 6" for a phone is too much. Look at the Nexus 6. I bet you money they will release an upgraded version this year
Samsung cater for the majority. And 6" for the majority is too big for a phone. If they do release another device based on the S7 this year it won't be because it has a bigger screen. And I can't think of what else they'd release one for. I'd take that bet.

Yes I have. And no, they will not make an Edge+ because Edge itself has already enough big screen. That would be an 6-inch screen and there is no way in hell that they will make it.
My theory, and I have no real reason to believe this but it's what I'd do.
Samsung's new line-up:
March release:
S7 and S7 edge, we know these
September release:
Note 6 at 5.7"
Note 6 edge at 5.7"-6"
Each primary phone (S or Note) has an edge variant. Serves different customer bases while keeping everyone happy.

Well Dennis, let's say: inside information!
By the way: did the Note 5 have an "Edge"-variant?
The Note 4 didn't either; it was de "Note Edge", NOT "Note 4 Edge"...
So: your statement "each primary phone has an Edge variant" is not correct.
And your theory about the september line-up isn't either...

Note edge was a note 4 with an edge screen.
I never said that last year or the year before Samsung did what I was suggesting they were going to do this year.
I never said this was anything more then a theory, I should have said a guess. It's just that, what I think they will do. Your 'inside' information may be true. I don't know, and I'm not one to claim any special knowledge when I don't have any.
Wondering about this myself, hopefully they don't release a + version because that would suck.

I really wanted the note 7 waited a month when Samsung decided to pull it... So I went for the s7 edge but still can't help feeling gutted... Anyone else suffering from the not getting the note 7 blues??? ????

Yep, I love my S7 Edge, but I really was waiting for Note7.
Galaxy S7 Edge Exynos +128GB MicroSD
So no one seems to be talking about it but do the note 7 owners who returned their device get 50% discount on s8? Samsung promised so awhile back when note 7 went down.
That offer was in Korea and nowhere else from what I remember.
Any rumors on Note 8 promotions for previous Note 7 owners?
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.
