Excellent new design raising the bar for the next generation of smart phones

I upgraded from a Galaxy S4 all the way to the S7. WOW. The performance is obviously vastly improved, but it's the design I truly love. It feels great in my palm when I'm using it all day, the sensitivity and curvature of the new touchscreen is amazing. The sound is superb & robust, I watch most of my programming on my phone now. Of course I cannot complain about the water proofing, the exquisite camera quality for both front and rear cameras. Even the nuances of using the Galaxy design have been improved upon since the S4, such as it's much harder to accidentally trigger the back button, or power button when holding it in one hand. Really excellent work on this design!
Samsung stepped up their game from the S5. The S7 is a beautifully designed phone that performs very well. This one easily stacks up well against the best of any other manufacturer. The TouchWiz interface does not get in the way as it did in the S5. The later would sometimes freeze or stutter, with no determinable reason other than the possibility it was TouchWiz. In contrast, the S7 is the smoothest experience yet, treating Android well. The beautiful design comes at a cost. The glass back makes you want to show it off, however, its probably best to put a case on it and keep it that way for protection. The few times I have used it without the case, the curved back was easy to hold and felt good. The screen looks great, and although I wish it had more options to refine the color, there is no real downside to the limited choices available. This phone is fast. No longer am I waiting for something to happen. Its happening when I want. The camera is amazing. Very fast focus times, and the image quality is the best. Cant wait for the Gear VR.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display
I would recommend this to a friend!

What the S6 should have been...

This has all the features you could want from a Samsung phone, including the SD card slot and water resistance. It is like the S5 and the S6 had a beautiful baby. The only thing I have a complaint about is the front glass. The bezel on the S7 makes it hard to get a screen protector to cover the whole screen.
I absolutely love this phone! But I am a huge fan of the Galaxy series. It interacts easily with programs and apps. Samsung has several interfaces to connect with just about everything. I've never found anything I want to do on my phone that I can't do. That wasn't the case on other phones, even ones very similar to the S4-S7. I've switched phones several times, usually because I wanted the newest Samsung Galaxy S series out. But was talked into other phones by my carrier. I've tried several of them now. But I had some real issues with several of them. The standard I was used to was just too high for them to meet! I'm back in the S series and lovin it!!! The only con I have is the price....which is not really a con, I guess. I mean it's about the same price as everything else out there....I just like it so much!
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, camera

Great phone with super speed

I really like the S7 with one exception. The S7 is even faster than the S6 but I am disappointed with the photo quality. The photo quality of the S6 was so much better in my opinion. I know the S6 had a 16mp camera compared to the S7's 12mp. But what a difference, especially when you need to zoom in.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: poor photo quality compared to the s6

Great phone, but one flaw.

This is a great phone with lots of great features. One complaint would be weak plastic over the rear camera. I have had a durable case on it from the first day. Some how the plastic over the camera cracked this week, only possible way was when my keys and phone were in same pocket.
This is by far the best samsung phone I have ever owned. I was using the note edge prior to this, which I loved but I always want the newest phone so I got me the s7. I'm glad I did.
