Most people like the Galaxy Note7 the way it is

A week ago we asked you how you felt about the curved-only design of the Samsung Galaxy Note7. The results were mixed - most people love the current design but do wish the 6GB/128GB version was available globally.

About 40% of people voted in favor of a flat Galaxy Note7. About half of those wanted it if it would be cheaper, the other half were worried about grip on the phone that's curved left and right, front and back.

Last year, T-Mobile USA was selling the 32GB Galaxy Note5 for $700, while this year the 64GB Note7 is $850. Even the 64GB Note5 could be found for $812, so the 22% that voted based on price have a point - a flat Galaxy Note7 would have been cheaper. Also, the 128GB model will probably go for $950 if it ever reaches the US, which is steep even for a well-executed flagship.

As for grip, you have to try it for yourselves, we haven't had issues. All the glass and the sliver of metal are slightly slippery, but it's manageable.
