The S6 we should have had.

Finally back to being able to expand the memory with a micro SD card I was quick to seek a way to upgrade to this phone. Not only that but with the other improvements to the phonend, performance and response is always quick. The only time I suffer a long loading wait is due to myour WiFi connection and never the phone. And don't get me started on battery life. With my Galaxy s6 I used to have to charge it twice a day if I wanted to still use certain apps for an extended time and still have battery life from start to finish when not using the power saving features. With the s7 my battery life is almost 3 times to! I charge it for maybe 30 min with the fast charger and I've got power all the way through the day and then some, it's amazing! I tell all my friends who love Android phones to check out the Samsung Galaxy S7, and even use my phone to give them a look at some of the cool features, like the simple, easy way one can take self-esteem by simply tabbing the heart rate monitor located next to the rear camera. How easy is that!
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, quick loading time, long battery life, easy to use, easy to customize
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing Phone

I previously had a Samsung Galaxy S4 and thought it was a pretty nice phone. Well the Galaxy S7 is a huge upgrade both on the outside of the phone and what is loaded on the phone. The buttons on the phone feel better when clicked than the S4, especially the home button. The S7 also has a lot of great features and it runs really fast when loading apps. The camera on the phone is also a big improvement over my previous S4. I was never really all that happy with the camera on the S4, but the S7 has an amazing camera that takes crystal clear pictures. I like that there are different filters you can use with the camera and you can even download more from the Galaxy App Store. I also like that the phone has a built in fingerprint scanner, although I haven't actually tried it yet. It is nice to know that it is available if I decided to use it. As far as the actual phone goes, it sounds pretty good. I've been able to hear calls well and the people on the other end can hear me well. Overall this is the best phone I've ever owned, and I've had several different smartphones over the years.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, high quality

Grate phone for anyone

The phone has a very sleek look and feels great in the hand. It's very light and for lack of a better word it's very pretty. The interface is very friendly even if your a first time galaxy owner, if you are you'll never buy another brand after tying this phone. Call quality is very impressive, speed is lighting fast, camera is out of this world. For the first time my wife put down her DSL and have been taking tons of photos with the phone. Overall a must have for anyone that wants an awesome phone.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, camera is top of the line

It's simply beautiful I love love it thanks Samsung
Galaxy S7 Edge here; came off of an S5. Was a bit fearful of the increased size of the S7 but found that it's easy to hold and feels good in my hand. The scree is beautiful; performance is fast and the edge feature is pretty neat. One issue with the edge is that I have an app that requires clicking in the upper right corner and it's tricky as the menu to click falls right on the edge. Other than that, it's an outstanding piece.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display

Came from Windows Mobile 10. . .

Some obvious positives: Perfect hardware design and build. Waterproof really works (I tried). Great hand feel. Marshmallow 6.0 is definitely the best Android yet.
But . . . coming from Windows Phone there are some areas of Android software that simply are lagging behind: 1. Cortana. Yes it's available on Android but not the deep level of integration. On WM10 it's contextual in almost every screen, accessible from every screen. Being able to discuss text messages/etc. is something I miss very much when driving. Perhaps there is a way for Google now to dictate and respond to my texts I just don't know how to do it.
2. Icons. I personally hate icons (which is why I moved from the iOS platform several years ago). That structure is simply archaic. I love the Android widgets and I which every app had them. If every app had them I'd be happy. But having to sort/scroll/etc for little icons is passe at this point.
3. Backup features. WM can basically completely replicate the entire phone on a new phone without issue. Android. . . not so much. WM restore features are complete (which means it's better than iOS).
4. Windows 10 text integration. Being able to text from Cortana on my laptop is surprisingly handy. I miss that.
5. Android integration with Android's Outlook app. It's not good. Cortana would present to me all my Outlook and Google Calendar appointments/events. Android only presents the google calendar events which makes it incomplete and useless.
6. Design consistency throughout apps. Black backgrounds are the standard (user selectable) for readability, etc. Android's schema is all over, albeit largely selected by the apps themselves. Either way I don't like looking at black letters on light backgrounds.
7. Camera. The Samsung S7 images appear a bit 'warped'. It's strange. The camera on my old 1520 and newer 950xl were superior. The 950xl camera in particular was incredible. That said, the S7's camera speed is amazing and superior to the 950xl.
So perhaps you're wondering why I have an S7 instead of the 950xl? The S7 with Android is better because:
1. App selection and maturity. I'm primarily a business phone user and I need strong versions of WhatsApp, Salesforce, Concur and NetSuite. WM has very weak iterations of these apps.
2. Battery life. Despite hanging with the 950xl through several software and firmware upgrades the batter life is absolutely terrible. Battery life on my 1520 with WM8.1 was incredible - 10 hours + of heavy use. The 950xl gave me maybe 2-3 of heavy use. Terrible. The S7, in regular battery saving mode, gets me back to the 10+ hours I need.
3. Speed. The 950xl was painfully slow in some areas. Sometimes it would take 30 (thirty) seconds for the text message list to be populated. I took it in, scrubbed the software, etc. Within a few days texting lag would become untenable. Camera speed was also inferior to current standards.
