    Like the title says,which would you buy?
    Money no problem,will be bought off contract.
    I'm in a debate with myself as to which one to buy.
    The Note i can get 200$ cheaper then the S7 Edge.
    But the Edge is younger in design,so is it worth the extra$$$ ?

    I'd go with the older design. Maybe more "tried and true". Just my 2 cents. I've got a Note....and I really like it. Didn't see the need for the screen to wrap around the edge of the phone like on the Edge.

    The 7 isn't worth buying. Most of the specs went backwards. the only plus side is a microsd slot again. But the hard drive is only 32 gigs.

    the 6 is the one to have these days. 128 gigs if you can get your hands on one. It hasn't been very available.

    Don't they have some Comercials about putting the s7 in a fish tank and dropping it from like 6 feet with no damage ? Also the virtual reality supposed to be pretty cool , no personal experience of course. I have the note 4 and have loved it since day 1 , mostly the being able to have multiple items on the screen at the same time and the s-pen

    Just ordered the S7 Edge. To me it came down to which one felt better in my pocket. My wife has the Note so I am familiar with the size and use. The S7 Edge is more narrow yet has a large screen and slides in the back pocket easily and it feels good in the hand when using. The note doesn't really fit in my pockets, it is big and wide and very noticeable when carrying it anywhere, back pocket, hand, shirt pocket...If I wasn't going to use the stylus for a specific purpose it would be an easy decision to go with the S7 Edge.

    i like my s6 as far as my pocket goes. BUT, i have one of them phone cases with built in battery. so now it's a little bulky. But the battery lasts all day. On just the case alone.

    the phone alone won't come close.

    What do you have now?
    Can't go wrong with any of them really.

    I'm partial to the Note Series.
    So I would also wait for the Note 6.

    But between the 3 I would definitely go with the S7E.
    Better specs than the N5 which is a great phone also.
    I have the N5 btw.

    Newer phones are never worth the money. But, the older phones aren't worth having after a year. I bought my s6 15 months after it was released. In 6 more months. Forums will start fading. When my phone hits 2 years. The talk about roms and root adn what not. Will be all dead. And should you require a replacement, There will be nothing to use but refurbished units.
