I've been a long time S5 Duos user and love it but it's starting to show its age now. So I've gone and bought an S7 online and am totally underwhelmed by it after expecting it to be a major step forward. I just wasn't prepared for how fragile it felt, the ridiculous curved screen edges (it wasn't an Edge) so a glass screen protectors won't fit, how little Touch Wiz has moved on, how (too) small it felt, the lack of auto redial, the lack of apps (WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter etc) shown on the always-on display, the shrunken icon area at the top of the screen (Ahhh, my eyes!), the almost imperceptible improvement in the screen. It does have some positives but not enough to keep so onto eBay it goes.
This has brought me to consider the Note 4 as a more suitable upgrade but I have a few questions on the Note 4 to check I'm doing the right thing. Does the Note 4 have:
- auto redial facility baked in? (not via a 3rd party app)
- 60fps video recording in 720 and/or 1080?
- Optical image stabilisation for videos?
- hold-finger-on (normal) fingerprint reader? (rather than swipe as the S5)
- a totally flat screen that a tempered glass screen protector will fully fit? i.e. not 90% coverage of the S7.
- 24hrs of battery life with normal usage?
- speed/smoothness increase over the S5?
- has received an Android M 6.0 OTA update? Not interested in rooting.
Any help at all much very appreciated. :)
