I just upgraded from my s6 to the s7 and I am loving it. Only downsides that I can see so far is that with the slight bevel on the sides of the screen the glass doesn't covered it completely. Other than that it has a great feel and is wonderful. I'm glad that they brought back the water resistant feature. Good to know it isn't in danger of water.
Have grown to really enjoy this phone. It seems to be learning me, and working with me.
Pros: Bright display
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good but the selfie camera is blurry

The selfie camera on my black S7 is very blurry and there is no way to fix it. Beautifyer is off. It's very frustrating. I will have to trade this phone in for a new one thanks to this.
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had the Galaxy S6 and upgraded to the S7 which seems to run faster. The colors also seem more vibrant when I set them side by side. I've only had it one day, but everything seems to be great about this phone. If you liked your S6 you will like this one too.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: price

Excellent phone

I've had my S7 for about a week now, and I've already discovered how powerful it is. Plenty of memory for using several apps at the same time, easy to use interface, crystal clear calls, and a really good speakerphone with no echos or static. The camera is excellent. The headphones that come with the phone are designed well and are very comfortable to wear while running.
It comes halfway charged, so you can start using it right away. Several apps that I had on my previous phone come already loaded, including Google maps (for directions while driving), Gmail, Youtube, Messages, Google Drive, and S Health (an excellent fitness tracker, which definitely replaces my current exercise tracker). Even the built-in heart rate monitor is surprisingly accurate and easy to use.
My friends keep begging me to dunk the thing in water...a feature I have yet to try.
The only two drawbacks was 1) a tendency to get really hot the first time you plug it in using fast charging, but apparently this is normal and goes away after the first charge. You also have the option to turn off fast charging if you don't want the internal cooling system to kick in. 2) this phone is sleek and slippery, but I'm using a protective case with a holster, so it doesn't really matter.
Overall, this is a fantastic phone and I highly recommend it.
