You are so funny and original, get a life.

Yes, and look what happen to the note 7 when Samsung tried to get ahead of Apples's launch date: a big bang!

But they do, their launch date was already in autumn, way before spring.
But really, one will always be both before and after the other, depending on the perspective. Unless they get together and pick the same date.

the SD 821 is an extremely competent CPU. in every day tasks there's zero lag. it can already do everything you'd want to on the phone, and before anyone screams about the A10, in multi-core performance, the 821 benchmarks faster.
And in some cases, instances the 821 seems to do better.

Don't get me wrong, the A10 is IMHO the current BEST mobile chip you can buy. But to call the 821 a slouch and a product using it as "DOA" is biased commentary at best.
however,
Nobody is getting the 835 till the S8 is launched. Samsung is currently the FAB for the 835 from Qualcom and part of that deal is that Samsung gets first dibs at the chips.
Which seems weird, because Samsung's Exynos chips aren't bad either and are very very competent chips. I wonder what Samsung is doing with them this time around or if they've finally decided to just stick with QC designs

yeah, what the hell did samsung do with their home button and fingerprint sensor?
I love the idea of nearly borderless phone... But I'm a fan of the hoe button. I like pressing it in. the tactile response is a big deal. I'm really not sold on on-screen controls like google wants on android devices. And I hope samsung wont follow along.
though, my S6 is likely the last Samsung phone I buy.
So your saying that Apple should start selling exploding phones to be like Sam sunk
If you don't really go to other sites besides MR, then of course you'll hear A LOT MORE about iPhones than the s7
It's either copying or it's not. Make up your mind
That's because the core design ethos hasn't changed but overall there has been a significant change in the overall design yet they are able to retain that BMW look.
If you read reviews you will find Asus,Huawei,Samsung have a lot of crap on their phones like Asus cloud,Omlet chat,Samsung market. That's not bloat?
Does it really matter? There is only 1 manufacturer on the planet who can handle the scale of Apple's business.
Thought I said my opinion.
Same with iPhone.
Right, imo, iPhones don't.
If it didn't matter this tit-for-tat wouldn't be going on.
i didn't say anything about security, and im not "casting stones" - i just don't like android OS. i find the interface clunky and the app store cluttered. also, is it that hard to type out the additional 2 letters in "Apple" ....?
Friendly reminder that the iPhone was was also called a "sleek device" when it had a headphone jack. A phone can be sleek despite the jack.
The fingerprint sensor will be on the back and the home button is going to be a virtual on screen button.
Grow up seriously, what happened with the note 7 was disappointing but let's not act like that's the norm. That could of happened to any company.
The S7 was perfectly fine in terms of being safe. How about you compare what the S8 is likely to do. All the new features the iPhone 8 is going to have is basically a Samsung phone with IOS on it. There is nothing junk about what Samsung brings out. It's arguably the best devices out each year and this year will be no different
Is that why all the Android OEMS are broke and apple is taking 90% of the profits?

Display mate says otherwise
Bah, the A11 will make the 8895 look like yesterdays news. Apple dominates in Architecture Design.
The A9 and A10 already does

Nope, he checked last year. When did you last check?

No it wasn't. It was voted the best LCD display ever. Not best display ever. The note 7 currently holds that title and before that it was the S7 edge which was voted as the best display ever.
I'm skipping the S8 and buying the Note 8 this year, Kind of what I do with the iPhone. I don't need to upgrade every year. I'll keep using my S7 Edge and my Note 5 till I upgrade to the Note 7.
Next year, I'll also buy the next iPhone and keep using my 6S and 6S+.
Android Nougat has really gotten to be a solid OS these days.

The iPhone 7 matches or breaks new Smartphone display performance records for:
• The Highest Absolute Color Accuracy for any display (1.1 JNCD) – Visually Indistinguishable from Perfect
• The Highest Absolute Luminance Accuracy for any display (±2%) – Visually Indistinguishable from Perfect
• Very Accurate Image Contrast and Intensity Scale (with Gamma 2.21) – Visually Indistinguishable from Perfect
• The Highest Peak Brightness Smartphone for any Average Picture Level APL (602 to 705 nits)
• The Lowest Screen Reflectance for any Smartphone display (4.4 percent)
• The Highest Contrast Rating in High Ambient Light for a Smartphone for any APL (137 to 160)
• The Smallest Color variation with Viewing Angle (2.1 JNCD or less)
Display mate voted the note 7 the best display ever after it reviewed the iPhone 7.
No, it could not have happened to any company.
Because it happend twice! After the first reports of exploding or catching fire notes 7' s, they had the chance to correct it, but even the newer revisions had the same problems.
For samsung it was all about competing with apple, and they put that first vs the customer and consumers safety.
So if it happens once, ok.
Twice? After they had the chance to correct it? No! That could not have happened to any company.

Yes, it says something about the superior tech of samsung displays. But... you can' t get a galaxy note 7 . It is not a real product.
I'm not convinced that the S7 edge does not have a better display than the iPhone 7 plus according to display mate.
The iPhone 7 is low res and doesn't even come into it.
I've not owned the note 7. I had the S7 edge for one month and used it alongside my 6S plus. The S7 edge probably had a better display but there wasn't much in it. My 7 plus has a better display than the 6S plus.
