still the best looking phone ever; coming from an iPhone user.

[@Jameslikemotorcyclez]

Yup ~iphonese3user i used it

[@toddpace4588]

I always thought The Note 7 and S7 Edge are the best looking smartphones.

[@sburton015]

I agree that the note 7 was one of the best looking smartphones at that time. Too bad that for some people, it would just magically explode.

[@Mrphonefuturist]

Imo the S7 edge is the best looking phone still have it camera is a breast

[@PILATESDILEMMA]

Hell no, the best are the Note 10, 20 and the Ultra models from the 22 to 24, the note 7 was mid

[@sburton015]

I remember hearing that the Galaxy Note 7 was the phone that you could just use it normally like you should and then bam, magically it just explodes and cause fires.

[@tonyarcher1997]

Lol I've got a similar outlook on the N7 issues. Every time I reflect on it I can't help to think it feels awful suspicious an incident. Especially with the instance that only 10 were confirmed real Note 7. So the other 15 were clones? I always lean towards a certain "Fruit" manufactures involvement. But that IMO

[@sburton015]

@@tonyarcher1997 I guess I can feel safe with my S21 Ultra in that at least it won't just magically explode like the Note 7 did in the day. At least the Note 7 came with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and the software was upgradable to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Maybe not much of a software upgrade.

[@efftee]

A fact about the Note FE is that it still used the same processor as the note 7 & s7 and because of that android 9/one UI 1.0 was able to be ported with nearly no modifications to the S7 as a custom rom as the S7 was left on android 8

Omg, a retrospective of the Note 7!?I wasn’t expecting that. I love the Note 7 software. It’s just the pure grace ux software with no changes(That is the case with the S7 on Android 7).I think if I remember if you want to experience the Note 7 software, the closest you can get to the experience is with the A3 and A5 2017 on Android 6.0.1. Btw is the Note 5 the one that you unboxed in 2019? It would be cool if you did a review/retrospective on the Note 5 on Android 5.1.1

So, one question is that would it be much harder to restore a Note 7 to the original stock version of software that allowed full charge of the battery if it has the 0% battery update even if you were able to remove the battery and charge it in something else and then put it back in the Note 7? I watched the Hugh Jefferys video where he was able to restore the stock software of the Note 7 to have full charging capability when it had the 60% limited battery update. Would be nice if there was a video of someone restoring a Note 7 on the 0% battery update back to its original stock software that allowed full charging.

[@lawyerpanda1856]

Having using my Samsung A54 for a year only (this August completed 1 year) and my battery health already depleted to 90% i just miss Samsung providing Snapdragon chipset processors to mid ranged smartphones as well. 😶 even if samsung gives us old processors i am fine 😶😶.

Went from Note 3, Note 7, V20, Note 8, Note 10+, Note 20 Ultra, Z Fold4, and now onto my Z Fold6. I'm wondering if i should have held out for a few months and got the Z fold Slim (or what ever it's rumored to be called now.. I live in south korea. It's rumored to release here and China...)

I guess if you had one of these at the end of 2016 when they pushed out the 0% update. I guess then once your charge ran out, then that was the end of that, either send in your Note 7 for another device or be stuck with a bricked phone. Too bad that even the newer recalled models also started magically exploding.

I manged to save my sim card and Sd card which was in that phone with a towel that was a dumb thing to do 😅. Still have the remains of that s7 to this day

Have you replaced both the batteries to a smaller 3200 mAH battery instead of a 3500 mAH battery? And prevent these phones from getting any future software updates which Samsung issued that limits the charge capacity to zero, completely bricking the device.

I think when you say that back in the C-word of 2020 and 2021, you must mean COVID 19. The only time when I see the green battery indicator on my S21 Ultra is when my screen is off and my battery is fully charged at 100%. Other than that, it always shows a white battery indicator.

Probably would be when karma gose right if shortly after that, your Note 7 then just magically exploded in the theif's pocket. I guess a common complaint about the Note 7, even though it was a beautiful device, at anytime it could just magically explode.

[@wantikjasonchiu4711]

The only way to make the note 7 that has the 0% update to use a computer connect the phone to get the update which is let’s you charge the phone to 100% and the green battery update to restore the phone to working order.

[@wantikjasonchiu4711]

But actually, I’ve tried in reality the older apps for Microsoft office which you try to search and download like the version that only requires android 6. 0 don’t work or even older versions or newer versions, but older than the latest version won’t work because they just show the screen update screen but cannot launch the app and use it.

[@sburton015]

I'm glad he was able to use these Note 7s without them just magically exploding. Too bad they were only supported up to Android 6.0.1 marshmallow.

[@GaneshMKarhale]

Note 7 is the most beautiful phone

[@wantikjasonchiu4711]

But the Note 7 doesn’t have to explode is to replace the battery with the Note FE with the fixed battery.

Isn’t it supposed to be that you said that you can downgrade the phone to previous firmware and which you can remove the recall messages then couldn’t have been that you can use those software to restore all functionality, including your VR Samsung pay to be allowed to be used as you said that it only happened as it progressed for the newer software updates for recall as they have eventually removed those functionalities for the note 7.
