My wife liked her S5 so well that she decided on the S7 when she upgraded. Comments (primarily hers) and reviews were so good, I decided I wanted to get the same phone. We're both senior citizens, and use our phones daily --travel, texting, gaming, talking to our granddaughters. Good decision on my part! Good battery life. Easy to use. Wife is right - great phone.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, good battery
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Galaxy S7 is the best phone I have ever owned!

I have been using my S7 for several weeks now and I have never been happier with a phone! Even with all of my backed up apps and data loaded onto the phone, it is running very smooth and snappy. It switch from one app to another swiftly and easily. My previous phone ran great until all of the apps I use were loaded onto it, where this one runs excellently. The fast charging feature is fantastic when you are traveling and need to get a boost for your battery. The phone is very lightweight and comfortable to hold as well. I find the screen to be very responsive and it does not require a hard press as with my previous phone. My only issue with the phone is the contrast while watching videos in a dark room. If you turn the brightness up it is much better, but then the screen is almost blinding. In terms of design, the phone is very nice to look at, and feels well made. My only complaint with the design is more of me not being used to the soft keys yet. I mistakenly hit them when I using the phone, minimizing or backing out of an app I am currently using.
I really like this phone, but there are features that I wish they had brought back and there are a few design details that I find annoying. I really like the layout and found at least one theme were the button size is perfect for me, but I don't like that the screen no longer scrolls through in a circular fashion; I don't like that you have to go back and forth, but I do like the Flipboard option on one end. I also find how to or the location in the settings for moving apps to the SD Card confusing. I love that it takes a card and so far I have had no issues moving things over as far as that goes. I also found nothing wrong with battery life or charging. I purchased the wireless charging pad and love it, the wireless charging is great and since the charging port was an issue with my last Samsung phone I think it will be a lifesaver as the phone gets older. Overall it is a very fast phone and stays charged the full day without having to use any kind of battery saver option although I have tried that out and it saved me when I really needed it.
Pros: Bright display, Durable
