Samsung Galaxy Note 7 review

Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 was the best phablet you could buy, until it was recalled.

The Galaxy Note 7 was the best smartphone Samsung made in 2016. It was beautiful as the S7 Edge, but it was as functional as every other Note before it. The Note series is one of our personal favorites, and we were glad that Samsung was folding the...

Samsung Galaxy Note7 review: Time-saver edition

It's once again that time of the year when the world goes all Note and eager to try the new S Pen. It's the iconic stylus that gives the Samsung Galaxy Note7 and its predecessors their unique identity and writing on the screen with the new S Pen feels...

Stunning symmetrical build ; Water-proof ; Amazing 5.7-inch sAMOLED HDR screen ; Class-leading 12MP shooter ; Powerful hardware, benchmark topper ; Excellent battery life, fast charging ; Unmatched stylus skills

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 review

Between its first-rate screen, powerful performance and an improved S Pen, the Galaxy Note 7 was perhaps the best Android phones money could buy when it launched. However, after repeated reports of exploding batteries Samsung issued a recall. Even...

When I reviewed the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge earlier this year, I was already convinced Samsung was operating at the top of its game. After using phones as well crafted as those, I didn't think it would be possible to love the inevitable follow-up as...

Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge Copilot Pc

Slick, svelte, and sharp. This is the best-performing Copilot+ PC we've tested to date.

Best performance from a Copilot+ PC I’ve seen to date. Impressive battery life. Gorgeous 16-inch display.

Lackluster experience with input devices. Poor graphics capabilities, as is common with all Snapdragon laptops.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7: A promising phone hobbled by ongoing safety issues

We loved our first few weeks with the Galaxy Note 7, but its ongoing safety issues make it impossible to recommend.

The Galaxy Note 7 is a beautiful, capable Android phone that showcases Samsung's best in design, battery life, speed and features. The 64GB base model leaves you plenty of space for photos, videos and games.

We just can't trust the hardware, given the ongoing reports of battery fires.

Don't buy the Galaxy Note 7, and return it if you've already bought it.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7

The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has been recalled and is no longer sold. No one should use this phone.

Top-of-the-line performance. Fantastic display. Improved S Pen design and functionality. Reasonably easy to handle for the size. Highly attractive, distinctive edge design.

Faulty batteries in some models. Expensive. Carrier bloatware.

Conclusions The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is undoubtedly one of the best phablets available, but at $850, it's also the priciest. That's not to say it isn't worth it; you get a powerful processor, one of the best displays available, a surprisingly svelte...

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (64GB, blue coral)

It has a gorgeous, symmetrical design that looks particularly stunning in Coral Blue. It takes great photos and has both the water resistance and expandable memory slot that last year's Galaxy Note 5 lacked (oh yeah, there is no Note 6). Battery life...

It's pricier than almost every other Android phone, and a little heavy. After seven iterations, there are still minor problems writing with the S Pen stylus. Fine particles, like beach sand, can wedge the stylus in its holder.

The Galaxy Note 7 is the best no-compromise, big-screen phone you can buy if price is no object. All but the most devoted stylus lovers, however, will do just as well with the cheaper S7 models.

The Samsung Galaxy Note7 (S820) Review

This year has been difficult for smartphones, which is a bit of a paradox when you consider just how much better things have gotten compared to last year. With Snapdragon 820, 650, 652, and 625 we've finally moved past the shadow of the Snapdragon 810,...

The Galaxy Note7 goes on sale August 19 on all four major carriers and at least a few preorders will be arriving within the coming days for an average price of 850 USD for the 64GB SKU in Blue Onyx, Silver Titanium, and Black Onyx.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Review – The best Android of 2016

You could forgive Samsung for gloating with the Galaxy Note 7 ; after all, the phablet category the original Note created was dismissed by many as a sure-fire flop. People laughed at its size, its stylus, and its price, and yet time after time,...

Sleek, high quality metal and glass build ; Superb Super AMOLED display ; Genuinely useful S Pen and software ; Class-leading camera ; Excellent battery life

Expensive ; Large compared to more mainstream phones ; No USB-C video out
