Galaxy Note FE review: The Note7 gets a redo

Nearly one year ago Samsung released the galaxy note 7 a phone that a lot of people including myself we're calling the best smartphone of 2016 but of course we all know what went down shortly after and well I don't really think I need to explain what happened

Fast-forward to summer 2017 and Samsung releases a bit of a treat for those that love being note 7 that much the Galaxy Note F II the fe in the name stands for fan edition and honestly that's probably the most fitting name they could have

Come up with for this phone from the name to that heart on the box that comes in to the branding on the back of the phone samsung really wanted those who loved this phone to be reminded of their dedication and just how great of a phone

The note 7 Rizal was the note 7 was in fact my favorite phone of last year and maybe even of all time and I even kept all of these cases in the event that I could one day get my hands on this phone again and well I guess you can say I

Made the right choice now in terms of differences between the f3 and the seven well not too much has changed for one there's no more Samsung branding on the front as mentioned before we have the new branding on the back there is a

Smaller 3200 milliamp hour battery compared to the 3500 milliamp hour battery found in the note 7 and there are also software differences as well complete with the Galaxy S 8 interface and yes big speech thank goodness they

Didn't add a button for it but other than that this is the note 7 we all know and love it's got that sweet classy looking design with the more traditional screen aspect ratio it still got part of the future on its side with those curved

Edges on both the front and the back it's got fast wireless charging expandable storage ip68 certification and of course the S Pen you gotta love the S Pen right also can't forget to mention the physical home button with a

Fingerprint scanner embedded inside in terms of the cameras this is the same exact camera we got in the s7 and it's actually pretty much the same camera we get in the s8 minus a3 tweaks and in a couple weeks that I've been using this

Phone battery life has been great and in terms of overall performance this phone actually flies out of the box and ran smoother than – A+ stood out of the box and when you step back and take a look at the note F II next – let's say the s8

+ besides the fact that they have a lot of similarities like expandable storage wireless charging water resistance Bojack USB type-c you've got the software experience being borderline identical the 12 megapixel camera on the

Back and even iris scanning the SE actually has a few things that a lot of people may prefer over what the s8 has to offer getting back to that screen aspect ratio while 18 and a half by nine is beautiful and fun to look at it's not

Entirely practical the most obvious thing here being watching videos is that see black bars on either side not to mention there are still a lot of applications out there that just aren't ready yet

Of course as time goes on all of that will be taken care of but as of now the 16 by 9 aspect ratio on the SE proves to be more comfortable and easier to use then of course you've got the fingerprint reader locations the bottom

Front is without a doubt more comfortable and it just makes more sense then there's the fact that the note also has the S Pen and all of its cool tricks and things that it can do but before I turn this into an all-out battle between

The fe and the SI plus let me go ahead and get to the conclusion of this video as you guys would like to see that comparison video leave a comment down below Samsung is releasing only 400,000 at ease the majority of which will be in
