jreuschl Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Any of the S4GRU admins planning a FCC RF analysis of the Note 7? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrell352 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Yeah I'm disappointed too. Now hdr video support is awesome but with a battery smaller than the s7 edge I don't see it being a battery champ anyway. Still using qc 2.0 instead of 3.0. Point is there is a $400 one plus 3 that comes awfully close to note 7 in specs and less than half the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deval Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I believe outside of Clearwire LTE, all Sprint B41 equipment is capable of 3x CA on B41. It's just a matter of installing a new a new carrier card (which should be fast and painless) and some software modifications. The real question is when will Sprint start replacing Clearwire equipment? Lots of major markets need to be striped of Clear equipment in order to move forward with 3x CA deployment. New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, Houston, Denver, and other cities have a good chunk of B41 originating from Clearwire equipment. Sprint could definitely fire up 3x CA on a 'need' basis, but doubt that happens since their network is suffering from terrible congestion on B26/B25 in so many places that have Clearwire B41. I would say that in major markets where there is an equal mix of Clearwire B41 and Sprint B41 sites, it's better to just leave the 2xCA in place and upgrade the Sprint B41 to 3xCA. The drop in speeds wouldn't be as noticeable unless you're actively using 20+mbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish you could get a One Plus 3 that can be used on Sprint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nexgencpu Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Wish you could get a One Plus 3 that can be used on Sprint. we might get the Axon 7. That could open doors for more unlocked devices. Btw axon 7 looks pretty great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jreuschl Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I don't know if you can just take these #s but looking at the FCC filing, B26 is 19-20db, B25 is 21-22db, B41 is about 23-25db, I think that is pretty good. Granted, real life experience can be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueAngel Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 We we all know band 41 fcc and realworld different on note 5.Note 5 is a lot better in the real world than on paper we all know that, hoping the same is said for the Note 7.

Still takes forever to latch on to lte once it drops to 3g in areas it never and battery seems the same. I rather start with a brand new inbox note 5 you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halcyoncmdr Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Just like any other device. It will not intelligently swap between providers but you can manually select if you want tmobile, uscc, or sprint as the primary. Sent from my Nexus 5X From my understanding, without a Nexus device, no phone can swap between Fi carriers because they can't read past the first carrier on the SIM, which is T-Mobile.

mnjeepmale Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I'm looking forward to the feedback on the Note 7 rf. Will decide in the coming months if I will upgrade to the note 7 or nexus coming later in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkitt Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Pre-Order is available on Sprint site. https://www.sprint.com/landings/new-samsung-galaxy-note7-offers/index.html Looks like you can pick either a gear fit 2 or a 256gb memory card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrell352 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I'm going for the note 7. It's still a big upgrade hdr screen, iris scanner, IP68, micro sd, improved s pen, double pressure sensitivity, improved s pen features like gif maker, bigger battery, low light mode, you can even change your screen resolution to as low as 720p to save battery, also antutu benchmarks somehow makes it 9000 points over the s7 edge. I also like that the cleaned up touchwiz even more. 3xCa support is just a bonus. Not to mention the stealth black and blue/gold trim is gorgeous. I don't know if I will keep it because the s8 will probably have a 4k hrd display, snapdragon 830, 4xCA ect. Honestly even with all of these features I see little reason to upgrade to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
