Samsung Note 7 real world performance is an absolute joke. 
Slower and more choopy than even cheap POS China phones like Xiaomi.

http://www.xda-developers.com/with-the-note-7-samsung-still-delivers-embarrassing-real-world-performance/


Yet the entire tech media is hailing it as the best phone ever made.

Did you miss the little disclaimer?

we must also point out that not every user will experience the performance issues equally, many of these problems are localized or limited to certain apps or actions, and the severity also varies depending on your SKU due to software and hardware. This article is confined to Snapdragon 820 versions of the Note 7 purchased in the United States.

The Exynos powered international version of the S7 Edge is better than the Qualcom powered version and the same went for the S6.  Samsung's own Exynos processors are outperforming their Qualcom counterparts of late.  The Note 7 with an Exynos processor gets a 90hr endurance rating from GSM while the Snapdragon version 'only' gets 81hr.  Their Exynos processors have an integrated modem.

Oh don't give me that Apple quality shit.  I'll give you Apple quality - this is what you get from Apple in a near $3000 product:

This is the screen on my naked pocket carry for 6 years phone:

And contrary to all the anti-OLED brigaders, the blues haven't faded in the slightest and there is no burn-in.

My experience with admittedly only a few products, is that Samsung do not make junk.

Let me get this straight. You're comparing the condition of a used phone to a used cord? That's like comparing the condition of a 6 year old used car to a 6 year old used tire.

No.

It looks and feels cheap, but I have doubts that any usage within the wide spectrum of "normal" would wear it down to the point that it wouldn't register your thumb print. What he did with the tool was severely abnormal. Glass better? Obviously. Plastic home button usable for the life of the phone? I'd think so.

What's more egregious is the display, which will easily show scratches and be less appealing to the user in short order.

All the blah blah blah about the design and they use plastic. The fact in in itself is enough for me.

Don't buy one.  Don't buy an iPhone 5C either.  My MBPR has plastic keys and feet and the hinge cover and the apple logo on the lid.  I personally don't think those diminish its quality.

Junky old Nokias didn't break easily either.
Lol, that six year old piece of garbage you posted is DEFINITELY junk. I wouldn't wipe my ass with it.
Congrats on keeping it scratch free (I guess??)... the fact that something that lame keeps you happy for six years kinda suggests you likely have used it over that period of time about half the amount the rest of us use our phones in a week.
Soooooo.... unsure what you thought your "point" was going to be- but it fell flat.

Ha, ha.  A couple of years ago I was sitting in the reception area of a firm I was dealing with, and someone from the inner office sanctum came out with his iPhone in his hand looking at the phone screen and frowning, then exited through the security doors and into the main stairwell.  Then he proceeded to make a phone call.  A while later, a second person exited the inner offices and did the same thing, also using an iPhone.  I asked the receptionist what they were doing.  She replied they couldn't get a signal so that's what they would do.  I pulled out my excellent phone and checked the display.  I had a solid 4 bars of signal.  I have made calls successfully with no bars.  I mentioned to the receptionist that I thought that odd as my Samsung had a good signal.  She actually laughed and said she had a Samsung as well and had no problem with signal strength in the offices, and that it was only the ones with iPhones who had problems.

You seem a bit immature.  One man's junk is another man's treasure.

Korea buys more Samsung than apple products and have more tertiary degree holders than the United States. thanks for your opinion, but facts are facts.
https://www.oecd.org/edu/Korea-EAG2014-Country-Note.pdf (the U.S. was at 42% in 2010 and have gone down since and many of them were foreigners who gained U.S. citizenship after gainful employment).

we get it- you hate Samsung and, like them, make stuff up to make some kind of point. 

WRONG. A biased country(where Apple has been number 1 before) does not change the studies done that show android users are less intelligent, less wealthy, less healthy and more desperate.

You have to be less educated than the average techie to buy a knockoff iPhone device running years old android.

I know someone who has three degrees, two of them firsts and the other a Phd in electrical engineering, a subject they teach at a university, who speaks 4 languages well and has a working knowledge of 3 more.  They use an HTC One.

So you are full of shit
