If you\u2019re among the millions who had to give up on your Samsung phone during its massive recall, you\u2019ll be delighted to know that there are plenty of similar, even better, options within easy reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, you can point out the iPhone 7 Plus as a viable substitute. But if you who went through the hassle of getting a Note 7, you&#8217;ll most likely want to stay with an Android OS, rather than switch to an unfamiliar environment. So, we&#8217;ll help ease the burden of your decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the 5 most promising Android phones that could be just as good as the Note 7 without the fire hazard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge\">1) Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Much like the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, the S7 Edge checks a lot of the right boxes. It\u2019s got a nice curved glass on top, it\u2019s waterproof, and it uses Qualcomm\u2019s top-of-the-line Snapdragon 820 processor. Give it a closer look and you\u2019ll realize that both phones offer almost identical specs and deliver equally impressive performances. The only difference, really, is that it has a smaller screen (5.5 inches) than the Note 7 (5.7 inches).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your confidence in the brand hasn\u2019t been shaken by recent events, there may be no other better alternative than the <em>Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-asus-zenfone-3-deluxe\">2) Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Touted as the world\u2019s first ever full-metal unibody phone, the Zenfone Deluxe 3 has achieved a level of sleekness that even iPhones couldn\u2019t. Nevertheless, this Asus model has more than just slick aesthetics in its arsenal. Not only does it have 6GB RAM, it also comes with the latest (and fastest) Snapdragon 821 chipset. With those two components, it\u2019s safe to say that performance is not a problem for the <em>Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best of all, it has 3 essential types of autofocus: phase detection, laser, and contrast detection. This means that this smartphone\u2019s fast shutter (plus its 23MP camera) eliminates any chance of you capturing blurry photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re someone who loves taking snapshots of anything and everything around you, this smartphone is definitely a good fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-google-pixel-xl\">3) Google Pixel XL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On paper, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/google-pixel\/\">Google Pixel XL<\/a> looks to be Samsung Galaxy Note 7\u2019s only rival to the Android throne. It has a faster processor, better specs, and the best smartphone camera in the world. It even runs the latest Android 7.1 Nougat, an Android OS version that hasn\u2019t even been released yet. &nbsp;Although it\u2019s screen is slightly smaller at 5.5 inches, the Pixel phone has a sharper display than the Note 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the die-hard Android fans, this premium device from the company that created the Android clearly is the better choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-lg-v20\">4) LG V20<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While LG\u2019s newest flagship hasn\u2019t hit the stores yet, a lot of initial reviews suggest that it\u2019s easily in the same league as the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (or even better). Its top-notch specifications, such as:&nbsp;4GB RAM, Snapdragon 820 processor, Adreno 530 integrated graphics card, microSD slot for expandable storage, and removable batteries. The <em>LG V20<\/em> is also built with a shock-absorbent, metal-silicon body that enables it to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/lg-v20-drop-test-714756\/\">withstand drops<\/a> from as tall as seven feet. It\u2019ll launch with the latest Android v7 Nougat, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes it a better deal than the now-defunct Note 7 is its ambitious combination of three powerful cameras, two screens, and excellent hardware put into a military-grade build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-oneplus-3\">5) OnePlus 3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An excellent performance at a price that\u2019s less than half of the explosive (literally) Galaxy Note 7 is what you\u2019re getting from this rookie competitor. In fact, respected critics have pointed that the <em>OnePlus 3<\/em> can outpace its Samsung rival in several performance tests. This is a&nbsp;credit to the smartphone having the same Snapdragon 820 chip alongside a sizable 6GB RAM. However, it does come short of its goal of trouncing Samsung\u2019s flagship as its 16-MP camera fails to impress in low-light settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, it\u2019s awfully clear that the OnePlus 3 is a practical option for a flagship device. It offers good value without compromising too much on hardware. A solid pick for anyone looking for a reliable \u201ceveryday use\u201d kind of phone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From being in the running as the best smartphone of the year to becoming possibly the biggest product safety failure to date, much has happened to the Galaxy Note 7.&nbsp;After a disastrous maiden voyage, the Samsung&nbsp;Galaxy Note 7 is officially done for.
