Ok I succumbed and read the reviews. There are two important things to remember here folks.
1. Reviews are merely someones subjective opinion. Good, Bad or indifferent.
2. Tech Review Sites make money from advertising and traffic.
Being the site that gives a negative review in a sea of positive reviews actually pays dividends. Indeed the furore here is telling. People are debating anandtech and no doubt driving more traffic to their site than if they had simply posted a positive review.
There is nothing in their review that is not factual or a lie, but is written clearly by someone who is generally not enamoured by Samsung devices. It's just that reviewers opinion. It's neither right or wrong.
Yet despite the consternation that its caused here and other places on the 'interweb', that review is now likely going to be the review that gets the most traffic and therefore generates most revenue because folks are complaining about it.
At the end of the day does the anandtech review or any of the other reviews really matter to you ? Do you need / seek to justify your purchase through the consensus of others or are you happy to enjoy the device regardless of what others think ? If you have a note 7 ordered, enjoy it regardless of what anyone else thinks or says. If you don't like Samsung devices, don't buy it. Neither position is particularly right or wrong, its just subjective.

End of the day real world usage is the best and most important review to worry about and thats your own 🙂
EXACTLY matey ..... That's exactly what my post above is saying. It's all individual
🙂 If you want it, buy it, if you don't; don't.
I just don't see why some folks spend so much energy trying to justify their purchases to random strangers on forums by doing down others choices or other devices ... It's pointless and honestly, it says more about those individuals than the device.
