Higher quality build materials, SD card mount, waterproofing, and a lack of bloatware loaded onto this phone make it easily the most usable Samsung phone I've had. I bounce back and forth between iPhone and Android, and this has been the only phone with the potential to convince me to stick to the Android side.
Pros: build quality, looks, speed, waterproof, lack of unnecessary apps
Cons: edge screen is useless, battery life is just okay, speaker is mediocre
I would recommend this to a friend!

Never really had any big problems with Samsung products

I upgraded to the S7 from S6 because I didn't want to have to deal with the device overheating while using Gear VR. I haven't had any overheating issues with the S7 at all. I wish the microsd storage could have been bigger. Given 512GB microsd is out on the market, I'd love to have used that in my phone. Type-C USB would have been a big bonus as well. The 240 FPS slomo capture is amazing. I was able to see a lot more of my problems with my golf swings as compared to the 120 FPS on S6.
Overall I have been generally really happy with Samsung products except for that Galaxy NotePro 12.2 screen flicker issue.
I had the Galaxy S5 before this but I am more than pleased with my upgrade. The s7 Edge has a much better screen and it even seems to run a bit faster as well.
