Regular S7? pretty sweet, not used one as i have the edge, so apart from the screen not being quite as nice pretty much identical. Best Android device i've used to date. Awesome cam, batt life etc etc.

? not sure what you mean, i was saying the S7 is far better with its batt usage compared to the S6. The s7e is better as it has a bigger battery than the regular s7.

You hate Apple because you don't have to do things? Totally sensible. Most people hate having to do things not the other way around.

Android and Apple are as bad as each other , I use both phones and there is things I like and dislike from both systems. There is no clear winner but if you don't use both how can you make a judgement on which is best?

I freed up gigs worth space by using a third party utility to get rid of junk and temporary files on my iPhone this evening
Before:



After:


This wasn't done by deleting any of my pics, music or apps. Clearly IOS generates as much junk and temp files as Android.

How old is your Note 4? After 18 months or so any phone battery will be degrading. I've had mine since release day and is now 2 years old and the battery had noticeable degraded so replaced it with a new battery and now back to 2 days battery life with moderate to heavy use.

You weren't short of space so why did you bother, no doubt you've cleared your browser cache as not much else can be accessed, so now you have slower browsing for no reason whatsoever

No it wasn't just browser cache, no doubt a huge chunk was also made up loads of redundant and orphaned files from numerous updates to iOS and apps and from deleted apps. But I'd also add I've run the same utility on my wife's 32gb iPhone 5 which was running out of space and also freed up gigs worth of space too
