Still has some kinks to work out

Let me start by saying that this is my favorite Samsung to date, and I've only used Samsung for the last three phones. There are MAJOR issues with the WiFi. I had to get a replacement phone because none of my apps were working when the WiFi was turned on. I did some research on my own, and discovered that the bluetooth needs to be turned off in order to use the WiFi. This is a problem for me, because I am a regular user of both features. From what I understand via the article I read, there will be software updates that will fix this problem. Some users have already received them, but I guess it goes by who your service provider is to determine when you get the fix? I could be wrong about that though.
The camera is amazing. That being said, it freezes!!!!! ALL THE TIME! It also switches from auto to burst mode by itself, which is when it freezes the most, and you have to exit the camera app to reset it...and end up missing great picture opportunities! When the camera is working fine, the picture quality can NOT be beat. Oh, the speak to shoot feature doesn't always work either. Super cool feature - would be even cooler if it were consistent.
The design is gorgeous, and honestly not that muck bigger than the S6.
The last problem with this phone is the battery life. Mine decreases by a minimum of 10% per hour, even is all apps are closed and I am not using my phone. For some reason that no one has been able to figure out yet, the Android System is using anywhere from 35 to 47% of my battery. For this reason alone, I am considering a different phone. I'm giving it another week though because I truly love everything else about this phone. The edge bar, added storage and other cool features are ALMOST worth the hassle of dealing with the battery and WiFi.
A side note, and this could just be because I use my phone for music so much, the speakers are really great. I'm still holding out hope that Samsung will put in quality speakers one day so I don't always have to hook my phone up to portable speakers to use it!!

A step back in the right direction

As a consumer I'm always baffled when a company tells me what I can and cannot do with my $$, that's why I was surprised when with the Galaxy S6 that's exactly what Samsung did. No more expansion slot, no more extra battery life, this is the land of the 55 ounce bladder buster we want more.
Samsung has always been a trend-setting company and with the Galaxy S 7 hopefully that's exactly what they've done again. A increase in battery life would be nice but they reintroduction of the 200 gigabyte expansion slot will keep my data usage down and my storage complaints quiet.
I was holding out but when the S7 come out it was time for me to migrate to it from my S4 and the power increases been fantastic.
Thanks Samsung for getting back on track.

From iPhone to a galaxy

I was a little optimistic when moving from an iPhone to the s7. I wasn't sure how I would like the phone; overall I've been impressed. It is a little on the touchy side but I'm sure there is a setting for that. The Vr is one of the great features on why I purchased it. My best friend went from an iPhone to an android and my brother is huge on samsung products. I figure I would give it a shot. I would recommend it to anyone that would move from an iPhone to an android interface.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers

For someone looking to get out of the iPhone vacuum,

Go with a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge! Faster, smarter, (for a smartphone, right?) clearer, better camera, great sounding speaker and last but not least, its android so you know you can do a billion more things that you could with an iPhone! For the past 8 years, I have been a HUGE fan of Samsung everything. Samsung Smart 3D TV? Got it. Samsung Soundbar for the TV? Got it. Samsung Galaxy S-series Smart phones? Uh, yes and have had the S2, S4 nd now the S7 Edge. What did I have before that? Samsung Mythic. Loved it so much that I've stayed loyal ever since, AND I got my wife hooked on them too! How about tablets? Yep! Had the Galaxy Tab 2 until yesterday when I dropped it on my garage floor and the screen shattered. Looked up my Square Trade warranty and it had expired on Jan. 6th... What luck, right?
Anyway...
This phone has virtually EVERYTHING that anyone could ever want in a Smartphone without all of the "fluff" that's added to other phones to make room for the workhorse performance. Samsung literally took all of the grievances that were held with their older models, (and yes, they've added back in the expandable storage slot!) and not only fixed them, but made them better.
One of my personal peeves was with the cameras shutter speed. There was always a lengthy lag before the image could be captured, but not on the S7! Its pretty much instantaneous, AND they went and added Dual Pixel functionality, so all of my photos and videos turn out amazing and never need to be touched up or edited!
Battery life? I have never been satisfied with battery life on ANY mobile device before. Well, before NOW! Not only is the battery capacity larger, they've figured out how to fully charge your phone when set on the Fast Charging mode and in well under an hour! That's been my experience so far anyway.
Oh, did I mention that its also drinkable and water splash resistant? No more get king your phone wet and putting it in a bag of uncooked rice! Just wipe it off and go on with your day!
On a "side" note, (pun most definitely intended,) the Edge Panel displays are awesome! You can even download for free or purchase different types of panels and add them to the edge display through their Edge Panel store. You can also change your phones theme through the Theme Store. Both the Edge Panel and Theme Stores are preloaded o to to your phone, but you can uninstall them to free up space if you're not into that sort of thing. You can also completely disable the edge panel if you so choose! See soon to be former iPhone users! You have so many ways to truly make your phone personal.
To wrap up, the phone is just James Bond cool and everyone that's seen me with it has asked me, "Is that the phone from the commercial where those guys are pouring water on it?" I PROUDLY reply, "Sure is! You want to see the edge panel display? They're really cool!"
(It took me about an hour to write this and when I started, my battery was at 86%. It JUST dropped to 81%, so again, pretty awesome!)
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight
