Thinking about making the move. I can get an upgrade cheaply. Don't use the S-Pen.
Things that mostly interest me:
Is the scrolling performance improved over Note 5?
Battery time should be better?
I'm making the switch if and when at&t finally ships the phone. I love my Note 5 and I buy every Note on release. I use the Spen but looking forward to something different.
I hope the battery improves, I'm a heavy user and I'm always out of the office. I need solid battery performance.
As for overall performance my Note barely ever stutters. I expect the same or better with the S7E.

I just sold my note5 for s7 edge. I never used the s pen and 0.2" difference in display isn't a big deal for me. I rather have water proof and 600mah larger battery instead. Can't wait to get my s7 edge lol
Yup, I moved from a Note 5 to S7E. Tmobile JOD, might as well, already got my phone for 3 days.
Scrolling is actually poorer than Note 5 (using chrome and firefox, stock internet browser is fine), lots of lags. I don't know why, early firmware issue I hope.
Battery life is a lot better than Note 5, although right now my S7E have a huge Android System drain (at over 35%), but even with the drain, I can finish my day with 50-60% battery, while with the note 5 I'm at ~40% ish. Standby time is hugely improved, dropping around 0.5-1% per hr, while on Note 5 it's around 1.5-2% for me. I had a similar Android System drain on the Note 5 as well...not sure if Tmobile ROM or...
Extremely annoyed why samsung phones always have "Android System" and "Android OS" drains, these battery should be able to last over 2 days on a single charge. Right now with the drain I got around 30 hours out of the S7E on a single charge. Note 5 battery for me was horrible. 3000mah does not cut it.
Bluetooth connects to my car A LOT quicker than note 5. No clue why...no new bluetooth standard was introduced in the S7E far as I know...but now it connects within 2 seconds, whereas note 5 takes around 7-8 seconds.
Phone now heats up more uniformly instead of at one spot, probably due to that heatpipe design. The screen is smaller, and it's actually a very noticeable difference coming from note 5 although its only 0.2", because now I can clearly see less stuff on the same webpage on the S7E compared to the note, I can see about 4-5 lines more of text on my note 5 than S7E on the same webpage. Also my icons appears packed closer to each other as well. By putting the S7E on top of my note 5 I can see the phone is about the same width as the note 5, but shorter, so I guess that's the reason why I see less stuff, which makes sense, but still feel a bit annoying that I somehow got downgraded. Wish I could manually change the system scaling setting.

Hmmm, that makes me think twice for sure. I guess the system DPi setting is different on top of the screen size being smaller. Lag being worse I guess will be sorted out sooner or later. Perhaps better to wait out until the Note 6,but then I'll have to pay full amount.
To answer OPs question
I've come from a Note5
A) I haven't noticed any major difference in lag or scrolling, If I had to choose, I would give the edge to the S7 Edge.
B) Battery life is better I'm pretty sure. I have everything enabled, Bluetooth / Wifi / S Voice / NFC / auto brightness on medium / Always On Screen and I just hit 50% with 15 hr standby and 2 hours screen on time. And I haven't even really started tweaking and disabling applications yet. If I disabled a bunch of features I'm pretty sure this thing would last 2 days.
Also on topic, I tested the Nand Storage on the Note5 vs the S7 Edge and the write speeds are much better on the s7 Edge.

Thanks for the input so far guys, much appreciated.
Maybe I should put the question more bluntly: those that have moved on, was it a good choice? Are you happy with the move? Yes/No, why.
Keep in mind folks, the note 5 worldwide was exynos. The S7 edge for t-mobile and USA variants are snapdragon 820. The new exynos could be better for scrolling and lagless.

no choice on getting the snapdragon version internationally???
Im getting exynos which i prefer and usually gives better batterylife

The scroll improved a lot from note 5. When you scroll inside Facebook and lots of app using note 5, its stutter a lot, but using gs7 it's very smooth just as nexus phones. You can check videos I posted.
I have Note 5 atm and i'm in love with this pefection, but edge got me . how is the camera if possible to test?

Terrible. To say the least. Even S4 shoots better photos. And the worst part is that it's not a joke. Seriously. Look here:

I really like the S7 Edge but after 4 days I do kind of miss my Note 5 a little. What annoys me on the S7 Edge is you pretty much have to get a case because if not you'll accidentally touch things on the edge of the phone since the phone is so thin. At least that's my experience. Maybe I have bigger fingers. lol I got a clear tpu case and like it but miss the feel of the phone. I miss the screen on the Note 5 but I like the size of the S7 Edge for the summer. At first the S7 seemed a lot better scrolling then Note 5 but yesterday it wasn't. I need to get rid of some bloat that might have been slowing it down. I'll probably keep the S7 but I'll be making my decision on day 13.
Someone from Oculus said the VR looks better with the S7 vs the Edge. I have a VR that I've used with the Note 5 but haven't used it with the S7 Edge. I'm thinking the difference probably isn't that noticeable to most people.
I made the switch!! It's not super different than the note 5. The main reason I did the switch is just for the battery and the snapdragon processor. It also feels better in the hand. Yes it has better battery and scrolling, not a lot but just enough to make the switch.
Definitely happy with it.
I have a note 5, but preordered an S7 Edge...
I'm still on the fence though. I really like the note 5 (and marshmallow looks like it fixed a few annoyances for me).
But I like that the S7 Edge has a bigger battery, and water resistance. And I don't use the spen much, so that isn't a factor.
I may cancel my pre-order, not sure yet.

I'm in the same boat, the camera of S7 have double sided reports and i'm not convinced now that moving to s7 edge is good.
sold my s6 edge plus and bought note 7 now with the recall incident, anyone has such experience like me, how do you feel, actually the s6 edge plus should be lighter and thinner but I like the sd slot and water proof
I think you should ask about this in the Note 7 xda subsection, because people who are using this xda subsection probably haven't updated
I wouldnt touch a Note 7, Just like I wouldnt have an S7E... apart from the SD slot, they are inferior to the S6 E+ in every way.. hit/miss camera quality, terrible tinney speaker, the edge screen makes it impossible to hit the no 1 key first time, terrible battery drain...
IMO, If the S6E+ had an Sd slot, it wouldve been perfect... although it supports usb OTG..
the battery has been stellar after using package disabler though, it is better than my old s6 edge plus with over 6 sot
I am uncertain for photo quality at the moment for me note 7 is easier on hand than s6 edge plus due to the curve on the back

I think IP68 rating is the big ''flaw'' of our loved S6e+.
Yesterday I saw the Note 7 and I totally will pass the device. Of course in terms of beauty, n7 is inferior, differend edges, much heavier and thicker. My moms S3 will be swapped with s7e because of the 3600 mha battery.
Btw, I have actually owned an S7E so i speak from experience ... the trouble with ip68 on the S7E is the membrane they add to the speaker grill, Like the SONY Xperias, makes the speaker sound thin and a bit cheap.. also.. the combination of the edged screen and where the keyboard lies... I found it took me 3 - 5 attempts to hit the No 1 and A keys.. plus I dont know if it was just the one I had but also I found the camera not that great, my UK S7E had the ISOCELL cam...
With the N7 though.. I really think SS are just milking money out of customers.. the core of the N7 is the same design as the S7E, so its not as if they had to go back to the drawing board...
I do think SS make awesome devices and I love my edge+,, but this huge price increase since the S6 is putting me off next years S8..
IMO, iPhones are Really overpriced but IOS is unique, and is its own Secure OS which is very different, but SS are running Android and there are at least 15-20 new Android phones to choose from every year.
If SS had gotten TIZEN off the ground and the Galaxys were running that, then I could kind of understand the prices.. but £100 -200 more for another Android phone.. seems a bit much
I sincerely dont understand such threads. I own the SGS6Edge + and have had my note 7 returned. The Edge 6+ is a superb mobile as is the Note 7. They are however incomparable.
The Note 7 is a extension to the SGs7 range. It is aimed as business users. The S-pen is what the note is all about.
As for comparing prices let me write this I paid 50.00€ more for the note and got a free VR headset. Now the note 7 has numerous features that our S6+ does not have for example 64GB internal storage, expandable memory, water resistant, the S-pen, new UI, vastly improved camera and software, improved ergonomics etc, I wont bore you with more, that alone is well worth the extra difference in cost between the two mobiles. Believe me that S-pen has matured into a truly useful tool that I used every time I touched the phone! Its amazing what that new pen can do. Even if you don't need nor use the S-pen the other improvements are well worth the small price increase, did I mention the Note 7 comes with 64 gigs of internal memory and external memory card slot. :good:
Hey hey I do still like my Edge 6+ and was very relieved I had not sold it! In reality though we cant really compare oranges with bananas they are fruit but.......
When the Note 7 is re-released I will make another purchase without any doubt. NOT because its a 'better' mobile but because I want-need the extra features the note 7 brings. I will be keeping my SSG S6 edge+ as a back up though.

Hey guys.
I have the Galaxy S6 and I'm wondering if it is worth to upgrade from S6 to S8.
I've been using the S6 for quite some time, and now they launched Android Nougat (7.0) to the Galaxy S6, which I am currently using the official version.
But, I am wondering if I should upgrade to the Galaxy S8 (Non Plus) variant.
I'm in love with s8's screen.
If you can, please post a "reason" why I should or not be upgrading.
Thanks!

Better SOC, better graphics, better screen, more ram, more memory 64gb, sd card, better battery, better camera front and back, usb C, better performance overall......BUT if you didn't see all this already and you're still in doubt, might be that it doesn't worth the upgrade for you.
I did this. Battery almost 2x, Speed great, too.

Same here. Switched from S6 Edge. It is a major upgrade in every way, just like OP said. No regrets.

As the title says I upgraded from the s6 edge and let me tell you it is worth the upgrade! :good:
Not least of all the S8 is waterproof, having paid £250 to repair a water damaged s6 edge last year i think its worth upgrading for this reason alone.
I like the fact the finger print scanner is on the back - it never made sense to me that it was on the front in the first place.
Face unlocker is fast to react.
And I am just chumping at the bit to get a DEX like dock (however at this point not willing to pay £110 for it).
Interesting comments.
I am really tempted into upgrading it. Since my S6 sometimes struggle when I'm scrolling on Chrome or Facebook, and I'm too far down.
I think it is time for that upgrade!
Is the battery really enough? I mean.. 3000 mAH on the S8.

Battery life has been a mixed bag for me - I'm not quite seeing as good a result as I've seen many post but it's likely due to varying conditions. It definitely gets better life than my S6 - I wouldn't make it to Noon with that and I start my day, off the charger at 430am. With the S8, I get through the entire day, no problem but might need a hit from the fast charger if I do some browsing after dinner...

Well you can upgrade but i recommend waiting for another phone with the same SOC...
My dad bought the S8 and is pretty meh...Narrow design, same screen as the s6 just bigger and slightly higher res which makes it looks strange...camera is the same as an S6 on good light conditions and slightly better on dark conditions...Figerprint positioning is absurd...Battery is not that good...SOC is newer but you wont notice any difference unless you try hard...And the price is way too high for whats is worth...
I dont want to start a new thread but i am wondering the same but i am coming from a oneplus one.. again is their any bonus in upgrading.. and how is development for samsung devices
i went from s6 edge + to s8. Very happy so far. the form factor fits better in the hand, software is fine. I like the back being glass. good feel overall.
A BIG YES. I upgrade from a s7 edge and to me it was so worth it
If you like the S6 and want to stay with Samsung, I'd say yes. Otherwise, I'd say wait until more info is available on the Google Pixel 2.
It's such a large upgrade from the S6 it's silly to even have to talk about all the reasons why. For comparison, the S8+ made the S7 Edge seem very dated. There is no comparison, unless you like old, slow phones with far inferior displays, memory size, camera..... I could go on. Not even in the same ballpark. By far the best phone made to date - S8/S8+. That changes every 6 months or so with a new phone taking the crown, but right now this is the top dog.
Agree, S8&S8+ are top-of-the-foodchain!
How are the lags on the S8? Because on the S6 when I'm scrolling in chrome or facebook I get lags. Usual android thing. That's what making me wonder if I should wait iphone 8 or get the galaxy s8. Btw, I don't plan going to Google Pixel 2 because I like the Samsung devices. I've always had Samsung phones. Tried Nexus once but I'm not a fan of stock android.
Upgraded today to the Grey/silver version from S6.
Ordered awesome spigen case too.
Role on Friday.

Zero lag in anything I have done on my S8+. Smoothest, fastest phone I have ever used.
I went from s6 Edge to S8. I think it's worth it. The battery is much better. Bigger screen, not as wide so easier to hold. It's pretty better all around. If you got nougat on your s6 then the software experience will not feel drastically different. Haven't really tested the camera head to head yet.

I have to disagree with you on a few points:
"far inferior displays" - Just because the S8 has a more futuristic look with its smaller bezels and increased height over the S6 I don't see it being fair to consider the S6 to be far inferior. The S6 featured an incredible screen at its time, and compared to alot of flagships out there it still is an amazing screen anno 2017! (pixeldensity is still better on the S6 vs the S8 by the way)
"memory size" - Just because the S8 features 1GB more, it does not mean that you actually use it. Just because it looks better on paper does not make it essential in daily usage. 4GB future proof? Yes! Absolutely necessary at this moment? Probably not.
"camera" - If you are talking about the front facing camera, then yes probably you are right. The rear camera however is only marginaly improved over the S6.
Don't get me wrong, I agree with you that the S8 beats the S6 in all of those points, but I think its actual difference in daily usage is to be argued whether the TS needs to upgrade or not
From S6 Edge to S8 is a perfect upgrade at all levels. I gave S6 to dad and I am using S8
I am still rocking my note 7 and it's the most solid device I have ever used. Just wanted to findout the thoughts of those who are coming from note 7, especially around performance and smoothness of the device please.
Verizon bricked my Note 7 back at the beginning of February. I bought a mint, barely used S7E to replace the N7 until the S8+ was out. I loved the Note 7. Overall the Note 7 hit so many sweet spots for what a smartphone should be able to do. The S8+ has a higher screen size to phone size ratio, but the N7 had alread squeezed a lot of screen into the phone size. Still, that point goes to the S8+.
Performance and smoothness - seem about the same, which is very fast and smooth. I have never had a problem with either device. Display quality - I suppose the S8+ is a tad better, and side by side to my S7E the S8 display is obviously brighter, whiter, better colors and nicer. That being said, the Note 7 display was also obviously better in those same ways to the S7E (I did many comparisons side by side). So I would say there is no reason to change for a display reason unless you really wanted the smaller bezels at the top and bottom. That being said, I believe the Note 7 display was a tad wider than the S8+ and I liked the extra width. I would call the displays a wash.
I won't get into a ton more details, but if the Note 7 had not been bricked, I would not have gotten the S8+ - which I think answers your ultimate question. I would have waited for the Note 8. The S8+ is a fine phone, and I thought I would miss the physical home button, but I don't. I did use the S Pen some, but get along well enough without it. If you have a working Note 7, I would suggest staying with that, the "upgrade" is not enough from the Note 7 to the S8+ to warrant changing. It is enough by far from the S7E however. If you can use your Note 7 until the Note 8 is out, that is your best option.

Many thanks for your detailed advise and comparisons. I am really torn because I have been using the oneplus 3t and only just recently gone back to my note 7 and my word the performance difference and solidness is very apparent. I think the note still holds its own but the problem is at the back of my head am always worried about the fires. Will probably just stick with it till note 8.
No problem. IMO the Note 7 is still the best phone made to date, and I do really like the S8+. And the fire issue - not to start into a topic that could end up being pages long - but the chances that something would happen with your Note 7 battery is so extremely minuscule that it is not worth a second thought. You have more chance of something bad happening to you walking down the stairs or walking outside to get your mail. In other words, don't let the battery issue be the reason you quit using the Note 7 IMHO.
I agree the Note 7 was explosively good!!! ??

I had a Note7, two in fact. There's no comparison. Speed, fluidity, tightness of the UI, and the overall look and feel are vastly improved. The onscreen controls take some getting use to but aside from the S Pen there's nothing missing from the S8 and everything shared in common is improved. I had a S7e that I got after the Note7 got killed and it feels ancient in comparison to the S8.
Hi guys,
Apologies if this is the wrong thread but wasn't sure where to post this.
Quick question....
I currently have the s10e. Is it worth upgrading to the note 10, s20 or s20+?
Main things for me are battery life, portability and performance, not bothered about the camera as I hardly ever use it.
Thanks

I am in an extremely similar situation. I had the S10E since its launch day and traded in to upgrade to S20 on s20's launch day lol
It costed me 1050 canadian dollars (after tax) after the trade in.
I love it. Better battery life, better performance for sure.
With a smart phone, i just use SNS and read news. So how the screen looks and portability are the top 2 criteria. That was why I bought S10E last year.
The S20, well, 120Hz is amazing and the punch hole is about 1/2 the diameter, such a great upgrade on the screen. As for portability, S20 is a tiny tiny bit narrower, and about 1.5cm longer, which is not too bad at all, given that using it with one hand is still very easy.
As for camera, having a telephoto lens, well, is definitely better than not having one lol
So the upgrade is very noticeable. I would say it is a much better experience.
One thing about portability. The s20 is likely to be the most portable flagship of 2020. I was waiting for news on the Oneplus phones and Redmi k30 pro earlier this year, but found that they are very likely all going to be noticably bigger than the S20, especially the width.
Knowing this, i just instantly decide to get the S20. No need to wait for the other ones at all. Physical form factors are not something that software can make up for.
hope this helps.

As for camera, having a telephoto lens, well, is definitely better than not having one lol
So the upgrade is very noticeable. I would say it is a much better experience.
One thing about portability. The s20 is likely to be the most portable flagship of 2020. I was waiting for news on the Oneplus phones and Redmi k30 pro earlier this year, but found that they are very likely all going to be noticably bigger than the S20, especially the width.
Knowing this, i just instantly decide to get the S20. No need to wait for the other ones at all. Physical form factors are not something that software can make up for.
hope this helps.
