Posted July 3, 2017 https://hothardware.com/news/samsung-galaxy-note-fan-edition-rises-note-7s-ashes-july-7th Quote Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Note Fan Edition (FE), thereby affirming its belief in resurrection, at least as it applies to the ill-fated Galaxy Note 7. The new Galaxy Note FE is Samsung's attempt at an "eco-friendly project," and though not stated, also as a way to mitigate the losses from its Galaxy Note 7 recall that hit the company to the tune of an estimated $5.3 billion. Should be interesting to see if they ever do go outside SK for this release, i wanted a Note 7 to upgrade from my Note 4, but the exploding issue caused that to not happen. I am strongly against the new Note 8 finger scan placement, if they follow the s8 lineup of placing it next to the camera. Its still going for a hefty $610 USD, which still makes it an expensive phone, but im sure if they came over here with some contract deals it could go for much lower. To bad the US isnt like Canada for fully unlocked devices.

Posted July 3, 2017 Interesting, but sad that it'll likely never reach North American shores. I'm totally with you on the placement of the finger print scanner on this years phones, it's the main reason I'm skipping the Note this year and getting something else instead. 8 minutes ago, huilun02 said: They must have a huge pile of the thing to offload, cuz Note 8 is also comong out.

Posted July 3, 2017 Author I mean i have a pretty big hand and that still would be really annoying, i have tried the s8 in stores and its just bleh, annoying and not a habit i would enjoy. Overall 300 mah wont be noticable, its about 20-40 minutes at most.

There's no real "safe" way of disposing a phone, let alone the batteries. Plus that $18m loss Samsung suffered as a result of the Galaxy Note 7's failure.

Posted July 3, 2017 If it didnt have a Pixel XL i'd snap that shit right up. I was upgrading from a Note Edge and was raging at the Note 7 debacle.

Posted July 3, 2017 3 minutes ago, VerticalDiscussions said: -snip- lmao, the Note 7 was announced well before the pixel. And since i had the "Original curved edge" Note Edge, i was cheesing when i heard about the Note 7. The features it advertised were amazing to me and a deffo "must buy". Pixel was my second option when the note wasn't gonna get shipped etc. And i admit, day one updates, unlimited google storage for vids and pics (no sd cards was my main gripe with newer phones) and a nearly vanilla android with next to none bloatware was vastly more appealing over what was available at the time. If i could of lasted the 4 months from my phone being nicked to the s8+ getting released i would of probably pulled the gun on it since i've had a pretty decent experience with Samsung. Lets hope the pixel 2 go balls out with features, since admittedly, compared to other's it does lack in places (waterproofing, speakers, edge to edge screen (tho the current bars top and bot make holing it without activating the screen a pure joy, especially for movie watching). Basically i want, edge to edge screen, top waterproofing, and the features of the note edge 7/8+ with the vanilla of pixel android and googles storage services and immediate updates..... not asking for much Motherboard ROG Strix B350-F Gaming | CPU Ryzen 5 1600 | GPU Sapphire Radeon RX 480 Nitro+ OC | RAM Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3000MHz 2x8Gb | OS Drive Crucial MX300 525Gb M.2 | WiFi Card ASUS PCE-AC68 | Case Switch 810 Gunmetal Grey SE | Storage WD 1.5tb, SanDisk Ultra 3D 500Gb, Samsung 840 EVO 120Gb | NAS Solution Synology 413j 8TB (6TB with 2TB redundancy using Synology Hybrid RAID) | Keyboard SteelSeries APEX | Mouse Razer Naga MMO Edition Green | Fan Controller Sentry LXE | Screens Sony 43" TV | Sound Logitech 5.1 X530 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't try to salvage a product that your company spent so much time, effort, and money on?

Posted July 3, 2017 for 610, still a better buy than the op5, unless they fixed the jellyscreen.... *checks one plus forum* nope. Still strongly believe that it's normal behaviour.

But r & d was pretty much wasted in real world performance. salvaging is okay i guess , but they rushed it out for profits either ways to meet a scheduled timeline of release i guess . .

Posted July 3, 2017 4 hours ago, VerticalDiscussions said: I want all of that on a flat display with no bezels, Essential phone style :P. I was thinking more the Xiaomi Mi MIX, that edge to edge screen was sexy when revealed. But now that i think, the iphone 8's complete edge to edge screen would be sexy in that package i described I'd love a curved screen option aswel (while retaining the FULL edge to edge screen) as i quite like the functions it brought (the swipe for contact's etc, status bar on the side instead of taking space at top al-la Note Edge... go have a google, it was the shit, then samsung fucked it on the s7 by removing genius features for w/e reason) Imagine the pixel 2 brought most of those functions? 1 flat screen and one curved option + those immediate updates and vanilla android etc etc and the list i made? i'd happily pay 1k for that and FYI just got a notification from Tom's Guide a Korean site has leaked the new note 8 will cost 1.1k$ for the 64gb model (theres a 128gb model aswel rofl). If it's true..... alot of ppl will be upset lol.
