Resolved Question

Should I wait for note 7, or go for any other mobile?

Sep 15, 2016 1:43AM PDT

Hello all!
I am Shobhit from India. I had beeh using Samsung Galaxy Note 5 since last one year but due to some carelessness of samsung customer care engineers, my phones's screen got broken and the company has compensated by giving me the Cashback of the device. After that, I booked a Galaxy note 7 in mid of August but due to the battery issue, the sale of the handset got delayed in India. The sale may start from first week of October.
Now I am in a situation of geat trouble that is it worthy to wait for note 7, or should I go for any other device?
The battery issue has led a negative impact on the company's fame and I have also heard that the company may launch an update for note 7 devices which will limit the battery capacity to 60% of it's original capacity and for such a handset, it is not sufficient.
I need some good advice, please help.

If you need a phone right now, buy one.
If you don't mind to wait a month, and the Note 7 is your ideal phone, wait for it.

Since you didn't tell about your current needs, nor about your possible reasons to prefer the Note above other phones, it's impossible to give an advice that's takes those into account.

Thanks for your kind reply.
I have not mentioned my requirements since note 7 fulfills them all and if I choose to go for any other device, I would definitely select a similar device. But now, I am going to wait for Note 7. Happy Happy

i would personally wait for the Note 7. It is a great phone, just a bit of a problem with the battery. However if you have a need for a phone before the note is finally re-released then by all means get one. The final decision is yours - not us.
