[Starting
The launch of the iPhone 6 Plus in September of last year was actually quite satisfactory for nearly two years. However, there has always been a small problem. Six months after starting, it was found that a dark area about two millimeters long and one millimeter wide appeared in the upper left corner of the screen. The apple store was naturally replaced with a new one. Who knows exactly the same problem after half a year, the previous day of the warranty period to the apple store again change. Around July of this year, a dark area was found in the upper right corner of the screen, which means that all three 6 pluss had the same fault. It seems that the 6 plus design has defects. Although the problem is not great but it is always uncomfortable, the replacement will be on the agenda. Considering various factors, it finally locked Samsung’s flagship Note 7 in the second half of the year. Waited for half a month before Samsung held a conference in Hong Kong, selling 5,000 in advance, and the official release would not be until September 2. Because it did not grab the quota for sale in advance, the Hong Kong version was again 820 soc. After thinking about it, it finally decided to go directly to the parallel market to start the Singapore version of note 7. The price would be 6080 Hong Kong dollars the same day.

Thanks to the curved screens on both sides, although it is a 5.7-inch screen, the front is even smaller than the 6 Plus with a 5.5-inch screen.

Overall, note 7's design inheritance has improved the design language since S6. It is a great achievement. The workmanship is also very good, the assembly tolerance is very small, the weight is lighter than the 6 plus but still heavy. As for the rapid spread of 5 gen Gorilla Glass, it has not yet been found.
system
The Android system was last used in the era of Android 4.0. Although the Android system was perfected at the time, it was still a lot worse than iOS. Can you adapt to the familiar iOS ecosystem? After starting to find that there is no problem. Of course, there are many Android flaws in Samsung's transformation.
The main interface keeps only one page of frequently used app and clock weather. Here we can see some sense of incoordination. In fact, this sense of incongruity permeates the entire system. The left side originally had a flipboard, because it was too bloated and not practical to use.
App drawer, it is clear that Samsung's own set of design language and Google's material design icon completely dissonant

4G memory is still relatively plentiful
Samsung's own browser, you can use adblock is still very good. Google insists not to add adblock functionality to the mobile chrome, and it even removes adblock from the play store.
Sliding edge features appear on the edge surface
Iris recognition can choose the pattern used for positioning. Did you think of anything?
Samsung completely changed the interface of the android system to select wallpapers, unable to set live wallpapers, and can only purchase live wallpapers in the Samsung store. Xda has friends saying "we are not just sheep like iPhone users" as I just jumped out of the apple sheep...
Extract the pen with a series of functions, such as screenshots, translations, magnifiers, etc. The most useful screenshots are partial screenshots, annotated screenshots, long screenshots, and intercepted gifs.
In general, Samsung's biggest problem with this set of uis is that the style is not uniform. It has both its own design and material design. There is also a iOS app for certain apps. It's a hodgepodge. In addition, the functions are numerous but very cluttered, and many times require search to find the function.
Configuration life
Singapore version of note 7 uses Samsung's own Exynos 8890 cpu, eight core, the use of the temperature down, performance is said to be worse than 820.
Life did not test too much, but basically worse than the iPhone 6 plus. The 6P 3000 mAh battery can achieve five to six hours of screen time (SOT). There is no problem in one night until the end of the day. The 3500 mA of note7 left only about 50% of power at noon (open always-on display), SOT only less than two hours.
to sum up
The Verge, which has always favored Apple, scored 9.3 points for Samsung Note 7 in the evaluation, even higher than the 9.0 score of 6s. According to various sources, this year's new iPhone may not be much of a surprise, and Note 7 is worth a try.
Pros:
High face value
S-Pen function is practical
Curved screen
Dual SIM
Standard 64g storage support extension
Mainstream configuration (along with China's special 6gb memory)

The price is relatively high
Plastic home button easy to scratch
Amoled screen life to be seen
The system needs to be polished
