I wish the + didn't get better camera modules. It's so huge, why would anyone buy it :(

The tiny-hands version of the 7 is supposed to have OIS (previously only available in the + models). It makes a huge difference in photo/video quality.

I'll probably get a + next time I upgrade. I avoided it initially because I was kidding myself thinking I could one-hand a 4.7" phone. I'd rather have the bigger display for general QoL and easier to read GPS.

I would prefer the 4.7" form factor because I love my 6 but if there rumors of the dual cameras and extra ram are true then my hands is forced. Having the extra battery life is good too, but it's mostly just because right now the 10 beta has poo poo battery life so I'm jaded

I don't know why this bothers me so much, but I wish they'd go back to having a flush camera module. I didn't like the 6's camera protrusion and the 7 looks even worse, if the leaks are to be believed. Just make the body of the phone the same thickness as the camera module and use that extra space for a bigger battery or something. This will never happen.

If the rumors are true that 7 also has optical image stabilization I'll be very happy.

Sorry, having the thinnest phone on the planet is the only marketing that matters at this point. Lens bumps don't count apparently.

Oh to the last few people considering going with the plus model: I've had my 6s+ for about nine months now and it's ran out of battery on me a grand total of I would say four times.

when my phone gets to 20% and the battery bar turns red i go into an existential panic. hell even going below 50% is cause for alarm for me so yeah extra battery would be cool.

I think we're good for a while because at this point they're patting themselves on the back over fractions of a millimeter.

To be fair it's not just in the phone world, the ultrabook types are doing it too.

Which doesn't really help without either comparing to how often you ran out without a plus model or at least a brief summary of how you use the phone.

They're broader, but the S7 and Note 7's aren't really any worse than the 6/6S. The S6's was pretty bad, though. And the Note 7 explodes in regular use, so that's not ideal, either.

Depends on the market, maybe Samsung is targeting the suicide bombers with the Note.

i refuse to turn off the battery percentage because the icon is too small and the difference between 85% and 75% could determine how i spend the next 15 minutes of my time before i go out for the night.

Use it the same as I used my 5s, fairly decent use. Music steaming nearly all the time. Lots of photos, browsing etc. 5s would always be empty by the time I got home. 6s+ is rarely ever close to empty.

If this is true, it might be the thing that makes me upgrade. I was crazy jealous of OIS being a Plus only feature.

If it's above 3/4 I'm fine for awhile. If it's below 1/4 I should probably charge it. It doesn't help me to know if it's 25% or 30% since I only need to know those two things.

When it goes red, I charge and if I can't it dies. Percentage is bad and dumb.
