data hungry? data hungry how?

Safari does not have the Data Compression tech that Chrome has in Android, so it can guzzle more data when web browsing.

@RochaZA

Why not just install an Ad Blocker, that can help reduce data consumption.

Smartphone apps these says are ludicrously sized. The FNB App was around 50mb to install if I remember correctly on Android, not sure how big in iOS , but my iPads app updates do take a huge chunk, I update both my Note and iPad at work these days, not a chance I'm using my own data

currently sitting at around 800mb for just the app store... when I sat the phone up i connected to wifi, but for some silly reason when it asked me "Do you want to install the apps you had on Android from the App Store" it downloaded them using cellular data fml

Just switch off wifi assist.

Samsung showing they still don't get the western mindset. How can they not understand that issuing takedowns for Note 7 joke videos isn't going to do them any good?

Samsung 'blocks' exploding Note 7 parody videos

Samsung appears to have filed copyright claims against YouTube videos mocking its recalled Galaxy Note 7 handset.

Many gamers have showcased a modification to video game Grand Theft Auto V, in which sticky bombs were switched with exploding Samsung phones.

But some have reported that their videos have been blocked on YouTube following a copyright complaint.

Samsung has not yet responded to repeated BBC requests for comment.

Critics have warned that trying to remove gamers' videos will only draw more attention to them.

RochaZA, how is that iPhone 7plus comparing to the Note 7?

The apple thing definitely does not have an s-pen and...

Also no wireless charging, fast or standard. It also can't adaptive fast charge.
Having said this, Fruit is great for people who don't want anything too adventurous, of which there are many.
Sad to see the Note 7 has finally gone. Hopefully there will be something better in a while, as although the S7 Edge is a superb phone, I really miss the s pen.

Would be nice if mayb they bring out 2 devices one with pen other s8 beginning of year... They have time now to work on it

 

[DeeinSouthAfrica]

That would be so cool.

I honestly believe if the Note 7 didn't start blowing up, the Pixel would be dead in the water.

They most certainly benefitted from Samsung's misfortune... And these Pixels cannot wireless charge.

How about the mate 9?

 

[lexor]

I think I will end up getting the new Mate 9

 

[BlackJack1301]

I am also waiting for the Mate 9 announcement next week. If some of the rumours are correct it might just be one of the best of the year.
