Samsung Galaxy Note 7 replacement

Sony Xperia.

I'm trying to make the same decision. Options:

Iphone 7 plus

Samsung Galaxy 7 Edge

Google Pixel (to be released very soon)

Samsung Galaxy Note 6

Well the nice thing about the Google Pixel is that the NSA will back it up for you for free!!

Lol nice chuckles!

I think I'm gonna steer away from Samsung just for teasing me with an awesome fatally flawed phone. The thought of giving Google money makes me cringe. Been leaning towards another Moto droid and throwing a life case on it, but the Sony model above looks pretty good too.

If all else fails there's always the new idiot phone 7 I guess ...

Hold on to those Samsung Handgrenades! As people turn theirs in, yours will be going up in price. Keep them boxed, dude. They'll be collector's items soon.

Good idea. The not exploded ones will be soon in high demand among collectors.

Samsung does make some good stuff but they are spying on everyone, even more so than microsoft and if you block there "Smart TV" from calling home in your firewall then the TV goes on lock-down and you cannot even stream movies to the TV on your LAN because it say it's needs an update.

This is pure and simple blackmail so I am not upset to see that they are getting a slapping but i think this slapping is more to do with paying taxes and little to do with the odd phone going up in flames.

Trinnity you need to update your Tor exit node list because i'm on Tor and you didn't block me.

The Note 5 is still a beast.

Agreed - you can't connect your Samsung TV to the internet.

3rd party Kodi box is safer for streaming.

Yes me has played with Kodi but most of what i watch comes from a "Dream Box" that costs about $50 a year in fees but it's better than paying SkyTV $600 a year and watching 16 adverts in a row 4 times an hour but at $50 you about get what you pay for.

Dear ho dear I switched my IP address again because this site in good for seeing what country flag it gives you

I'm gonna go with major historic Corporate Sabotage behind door number 3. This was engineered to happen, and it's hilarious, but, I hope nobody has been seriously hurt or killed, have they? What about property damages and loss of health/life? Weren't people badly burned? Is SS going to pay up for that?

I'm bummed, wanted the note 7 but had to settle for a note 5 instead. Better then a bomb against my head.

The notes were catching fire while charging not while against your head or in your pocket like the past iPhones have done. Iphone 7's are also catching fire, there was a news article about it recently but Apple is great at shutting out the media and blaming the user while Samsung does the right thing and recalls because 30 something out of the millions sold had charge issues.

The new rumors have not been proven yet and i suspect Apple may be behind the second batch of rumors to keep the Note 7 buyers from waiting and just buying a iPhone 7 instead. The Note 7 is still the best smartphone on the market, its a pity this happened because its a pretty awesome phone, nothing really compares right now. Im going to wait to see what the outcome is and use my old phone in the meantime. I hope they dont take it off the market because its an awesome phone.

No one was burned, just some table tops as the issue was while charging, lithium ion battery are not all that safe and if the chip that "tells" them its charged fails the battery over charges and catches fire. This happens with cameras, laptops, ecigs and many other items with lithium ion batteries.
