Phone comes equipped with a glass screen protector. I've checked, it's not a peel off sticker, it's a true glass screen protector.

Phone in question for reference: Galaxy Note 7 from Rogers.

For the trade in do you need anything else like charger/accessories?

I can't stand them. It's like putting plastic over your sofa so it stays new for the next person who owns it. My Nexus 5 has been great without a screen protector but it sounds like GG5 is more shatter resistant because it's softer and more flexible, making it easier to scratch than past versions.

In this day and age, when our phones are rocking 6gb of ram, 64+ gb of storage and octacores, does bloatware do anything to the performance of the phone? The last 3 branded phones I had (including samsung), I didn't consider any of the software on there bloatware.

Have you tried glass? You can hardly tell the difference between a glass screen protector and your actual screen.

I don't think they have ones that can wrap around a curved edged screen though

You're right they don't, unless you get a full overlay but those are usually plastic. Even the iPhone 6 had a rounded edge to it and the protectors wouldn't go edge to edge but as I said, it was BARELY noticeable. Try it out. Hit up night market if you want it super cheap and see what it looks like. $10/installed.

Phone only. People said the Metrotown location doesn't even care if it powers on. Someone said he brought in a flip phone from back in his high school days. It's probably 15+ years old and they still took it

Loving mine so far. Battery life not as good as my S7 Edge but we'll see how it goes after a week of usage.

Best Buy guy told me this too. But he said it was only on contract. Samsung site says it does work on outright purchases.

$1050 minus $200 plus tax, minus what you can sell a Note 5 for on CL. Hmm, very tempting...
