Ergonomics (in-hand feel)

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Please, no "that's what she said" jokes. Rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 feels in-hand. A higher rating indicates that it's comfortable to hold for long periods of time, even in one hand. Resist the urge to say "TWSS" just now. Seriously.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Very slim super light sturdy quality. Amazing. Much better than my previous note 3.

Probably the most comfortable device i have owned and does not feel like your holding a device with 5.7" screen.

This! I was skeptical as I hated the feel of the S7 Edge, but this just feels like it was designed around my hand! Seriously, did Samsung actually get a mould of my hand and sculpt the phone to it?

If there was a bit of a textured grip (not just glass) on the back, it would be perfect, but it definitely feels great!

Agree, feels great in my hand.

I've owned all of the Note phones since the 2 and this is by far the best/lightest/most comfortable version of the phone I've ever owned.

Is it just me or this phone is really not slippery? I don't know if it's gorilla glass 5 or a coating they put on the phone but it's nowhere as slippery as the oneplus 3, LG G5 metallic phones. Nothing like the s7 edge actually. Am I imagining this?

Sent from my note 7, my pixel C or my oneplus 3 depending on how I'm feeling!

It's a toss-up between 4 and 5 stars, so I'll just rate it a 4. For the quality of the phone's appearance, of course you're going to sacrifice some durability, but considering the incredibly vibrant design, it's durable. If you're going to be using it while active, just get an Otterbox Defender.

3/5 stars for durability sacrifice that comes with the external design.
5/5 stars for the actual FEEL of the phone. Weight, grip, size.
5/5 stars for the actual LOOK. My god it's beautiful.

You are perfectly right.

I actually prefer the wider body of the note 3 - 5

I'm sure it's because I'm soooo used to the other size, but I prefer the wider notes

Also the other notes fit PERFECTLY in the top steering wheel opening... with the case it would actually lock into place while driving and Netflixing !! I've got to find a solution for this one

Nice premium feel. Finally a Note device with feel matching price. Symmetric design is definitely a way forward. It does however feel a bit slippery like you're about to drop that thing, but there are nice slim cases available to address that. Used n2, n4 and this one is best one so far. Great screen to body ratio and that almost bezel free look... Well pleased with it.

Unfortunately Samsung has lost a lot of losses with this release note 7

Everyone is talking about how comfortable it feels, but what about how slippery it is? In my opinion the sloped edges design is a disaster in every aspect, I'd rather have a sharp edge like on Note 3 that secures a $900 device in my hand than "feel comfortable" with huge chance that it can easily slip away.

Once I had the ghost armor installed on the back it wasn't slippery.

And it won't get scratched either
