Lucky Number 7

I'm glad I waited for the S7 coming from an S4. This is the second Galaxy that I've owned and I'm pleased with it so far.
It's great that Samsung listened to it's customers and brought back the removable storage. So far, I'm very pleased with it.
Unfortunately, the bootloader is locked which certainly puts a damper on things. Between Google, Samsung and Verizon, the phone has far too many aspects beyond the user's control.
GearVR is great although it can't be used with non-Oculus apps such as those made for Google Cardboard.
The GearVR has a 'screen door effect' with the crazy magnification of the lenses. The S7 display should have ample pixels to create a better picture even at 1.5" away.
Every time I turn off my cellular data, I have to hit a consent dialog. Really? How many times to I have to 'accept' it? It's so stupid "Unless you use Wi-Fi, you will not be able to use Internet..." Really, I never new that! I've only been using connected phones for half a decade, that all comes as a real shock to me.
Every time I turn on my GPS, I have to hit a consent dialog.
As much as the carrier wants you to run up your data bill and Google wants you to believe that having all of the radios on all of the time won't really run your battery down: Let me turn those things off without having to root my phone!
There's an app that measures your pulse and blood oxygenation using the built-in light by the camera.
There's nothing that I'm going to say here that's going to stop a person who wants one from getting one and convinces someone who didn't want one to get one. The S7 appears to be a very good phone if not the best (Android) phone out there. I'm glad I waited and we'll see how this phone performs over the next two years!
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, samsung pay, fingerprint reader
Cons: locked bootloader, dialog box consents

Great Phone After Bug Fixes
on March 25, 2016

Love the new phone! Need to focus on some bug fixes for the sound and video. My phone doesn't always play my ring tones, I have to rely on the vibration to tell me someone is calling... when I restart the phone it will works properly. Same thing with videos, I get the something went wrong error on YouTube, but after I restart my phone it works properly. The only flaw I have with the design is it is too slippery, my friend dropped his S7 Edge and shattered the display. I dropped my S5 numerous times without a case and only chipped the plastic edges.
Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers
Cons: too slippery, not as durable as the s5
I would recommend this to a friend!

Another awesome device from Samsung

My second smart phone was the Galaxy S4. I have been in love with Samsung products ever since. Their design, durability, features and promotions are fantastic. I upgraded from the S5 to the S7 edge this month, and wow, the phone is awesome. It took some getting use to the edge but I love it. If you are looking for a do it all device with a great screen and graphics that is fast, this is definitely the device to have. I am looking forward to future Samsung devices.
Pros: Bright display, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just a very solid, capable phone, with every expected modern feature

This phone is really of the highest quality in every aspect. Everything works as it should. Highlights:
-Battery life is excellent. With my old S5 I would use about 130% of its battery on a normal day with some light gaming and streaming music. With the S7, the same behavior uses about 70% in a day. I'm sure I could stretch this phone out for several days if I really needed to.
-Fingerprint reader works surprisingly well. Actually faster than using a pattern. Samsung Pay has actually been a great bonus as well.
-Even with less megapixels, the camera is much better than the S5. I took some short videos of some ducks swimming on a pond in the sun and it really seems like it is what I'm actually observing.
-The edge functionality is still a bit gimmicky but is a useful "hotkey" for shortcuts to your most-used apps.
-I was worried about the phone being too big and in some respects it is but the edge keeps the width reasonable while still packing in all of that battery
-The one CON I'm genuinely disappointed about is that they took off the IR function to use it as a remote control! That saved my life so many times when I couldn't find the remote.

Great all around Samsung phone.

This phone exceeded my already high expectations. I have been a Samsung fan for years and this phone is the best thing they have come out with. It is very well constructed and runs extremely smoothly. The screen looks beautiful and the battery life is absolutely incredible. It only dropped to 40% after 18 hours with the brightness all the way up using it every 20 min or so for 5-10 min playing games and checking social media. I have the silver which I highly recommended. Very pretty phone. Keep it up Samsung, I can get a new phone in 12 months. Hope the next phone (S8 or Note 6) is even better!!
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, runs extremely smoothly
I would recommend this to a friend!
