I go through LOTS of phones in a year. I usually own a few of the flagships, a few of the mid-rangers and a few of the budget phones every year. I have always been an android user until recently I tried out the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus just to try something different. The one thing I really enjoyed with the iPhone was that it "just worked" with little zero lag. But then the S7 phones came out and I dropped the iPhone to see what Samsung had to offer. I was overwhelmed with what Samsung had done with the S7 Edge. This phone is FAST with zero lag. I'm not a gamer, so I can't speak on lag to gaming, but for media consumption and as a pocket-sized computer, this one was a homerun. I've installed Nova launcher and am running this phone exactly as I like and I've have no issues at all. This is definitely a phone that I plan on keeping for a while. I love all the features (big battery, wireless charging, microSD support, weather resistance, etc.) and the phone looks great. The only suggestion I have is that since the phone is all glass on the front and back panels, I would like to see a oleophobic coating on the glass to reduce those finger prints. And as always, I'd like to see the toughest glass possible on the phone, but a case can fix that issue.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the size of the phone

My new phone can't wait to use it on a regular basis.
So I originally got the nite 5 and didn't like it so I traded it in for this and I am so glad I did. Battery lasts forever. I charge my phone once every two days. User friendly. Only two complaints is that it did not come with the Swype keyboard pre-installed and no pre-installed music player. Other than that this is a great phone that outshines all the competition. Always have been and always will be a galaxy guy.
This phone is the best I have ever owned. I had the s6 edge and this blows it out of the water. It is faster, bigger, and has a much nicer design. Battery life is amazing! I use it most of the day and I usually still have 25% left when going to bed. Not to mention it's water resistant!

S7 does not disappoint

I've had my s7 for about 3 weeks and it has yet to disappoint. The battery life has been great and the overall performance has been fast and responsive. To date it has exceeded my expectations. I've already recommend this phone to several co-workers that want to get away from their iPhones. I do however, wish the speakers weren't on the bottom of the phone, but for that being my only complaint I'll take it. Thanks Samsung
