Solid Phone

I needed a new phone that would survive an active kid-filled life. I don't worry about being splashed at the beach or the pool and other than being a tad expensive and too susceptible to finger prints, the S7 is perfect. The camera is awesome, it's fast, and it's always reliably charged.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, water resistant, camera, battery life, quick charge
Cons: price, fingerprints
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing

(Worthy to note: I have spent over 3 years in sales and management of mobile devices and have used nearly every major smartphone usable on the GSM Network from 2012 to now). The Galaxy S7 Edge is the epitome of a perfection for a smartphone. Had the IR blaster not been removed, I would have given it a prefect score. This is a fantastic device on all levels. My brother has had an iPhone every iteration since the original, and he switched to the S7 Edge and has been thrilled with it as well. It is perfectly designed, extremely quick, the Gear VR is surprisingly refined and a delight to use... I cannot say enough good things about this phone. This is the closest thing I've ever seen to a perfect smartphone.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable, fast, great battery life, extensive built-in customization options, beautiful exterior, great camera, functional edge display (not gimmicky), samsung pay, quick wireless charging, stays cool during heavy use, minimal bloat-ware
Cons: built-in speakers mediocre, no ir blaster, hard to see in bright sunlight, no removable battery
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just shy of perfect

They brought back almost everything we loved! Including a few things we didn't know we could live. You really notice the little things and attention to detail with this phone. I had the s6 edge and despite my best effort and excitement, i hated it. This phone is my love! Still some minor bugs but that can be fixed with an update. 8 core processor would have been nice and higher MP camera like before but that's just my pickyness.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, battery life, features, beautiful design
Cons: still a little buggy needs update.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing to look at
on March 23, 2016
Posted by: Numberb
Might be the best looking phonen of all time, eclipsing the Razr flip phone from back in the day. While amazing to look at, the screen sensitivity is either all weird, or its really easy to touch the edges of the screen on accident. A case solves this and the fact it's pretty slippery. Even saying this, it's a great phone. Speed, design, the themes store and I think the edge panels make this phone my favorite new phone of all time.
Pros: Bright display
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love this Phone

(copied and pasted from my elsewhere posted review)
So hands on with the Samsung Galaxy S7, this thing is pretty cool. I last used the S5 and liked it for its waterproof capabilities. Not that i expect to ever submerge it, but in the winter months, I often will have my phone in an inner pocket of my jacket while out snow shoveling what-have-you.. and i have steam fogged other phones with my own sweat before from having done this, so waterproofness is key to me.
Also, the return of micro SD storage is very welcome (200GB card support!), the tap (not swipe) fingerprint reader is much better in operation than the swipe reader on the S5 was, but admittedly this was partially due to the case i put on the S5 from day one. If i'm going to drop this kind of money on a device, and work in environments that are not friendly to delicate electronics, i'm always gonna wrap it up.
The bump up to 4GB of ram for the operating system is a big performance improver.. or the processor is the key, either way, working together the phone is ridiculously responsive. The S5 was quick most of the time, but once you've installed over 100 apps and a half a dozen widgets on your home screens, it could get a little laggy.. Not so with the S7. It is pretty fast.
And I love the fast wireless charging (which thankfully works through the thick protective case I installed), so there is no more fiddling with charge cables and port covers. Actually there is no port cover on the S7 except in the case. The phone itself does not have a charge port cover or headphone port cover, but it is still waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes. The IR blaster is gone, but i very rarely ever used it so no real loss there.
The camera is pretty awesome. it has less quoted pixels but a larger aperture for greater light sensitivity and better low light image quality. The camera shooting modes are too cool too. It shoots in 4K UHD which is awesome, but it also does fun stuff like 240fps at 720p which plays back as slow motion. I did notice a small stutter in the slow motion playback, but not sure what the cause is or if it will be there in videos shot with more light. Also available modes include time lapse, and 360 degree object (self explanatory, shoot a full 360 view of an object), as well as video clips attached to /photo.
The battery life is very good, considering how hard i use it, and the constant-on display (time and date only) is a useful feature that will save a bit of time for me at least.
I'm running out of things to say about it, but in a nutshell, I like it.
Major item i forgot to mention; Marshmallow has a couple major features, the most interesting of them being new permissions control. You now have the power to turn off or on each permission requested by each app. For instance, my normal web browser uses several permissions by default, but through the application manager in settings, you can toggle on or off each individual permission. For people who are privacy minded and like to have a high degree of control on their device and their information, this is an absolute game changer.
One week in, I'm very happy. The Bluetooth audio has (possibly) somewhat decreased range while wireless charging, but its still exceeds the 10 meter specification by a good bit. It is somewhat expected that blasting magnetic resonance energy at the phone to charge it (which is how wireless charging works) might affect the quality and range of the bluetooth audio signal. Device heating from charging is also noticeable, but so far not an issue. Battery life is solid (neither much improved over nor worse than the S5) and seems better since the software update (baseband update) yesterday morning. Most relevant to the average person; the phone does not lag, like, ever. I have a mess of apps, and often switch tasks at a moments notice, and I am impatient as heck, if the phone glitched at all, I would be on it like white on rice, but it just doesn't do it. web pages load quicker, apps open quicker, everything just works better than the S5.. and the S5 was no slouch itself.
