Edge

Although the phone is cool the edge screen is unnecessary. Their are not enough features for it and it is hard to find a good screen protector, that will not peel up on the edges when you put a case on it. If I could have picked it out I would have got the regular s7. Also the charger and the phone have to lined up oh so right on it for the phone to charge. Their hasmore then a few times I woke up to a dead phone cuz it wasn't just right.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is a very expensive phone that breaks easily. It is much too fragile even with a good case.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: fragile. easy to damage even in a good case.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Upgrade from G5
on September 20, 2016

My G5 was acting up since last system update and struggling to perform with some of my apps. I upgraded to G7, ease of transferring my pics, apps, and other items to new phone. Didn't lose anything. I just needed to setup fonts, wallpapers, and what icons I wanted visible, disable the things I never use. Pokémon Go performs much better now.
I'm still exploring the new features, I like the idea of Themes for the phone, being able to add fonts, customizing the look of the phone to make it truly mine. The music sounds better on this phone, I also like being able to use my files for ring tones or use those from Zedge for individual contacts. The expandability of storage is a BIG plus I usually transfer items to the cloud for storage and backup, the extra storage allows me to have a mini computer in my hand to do the things I need to do.
As for battery seems to be holding up so far to heavy use, Pokémon Go eats through power when constantly on besides other apps running at same time. I have a battery portable charger that is capable of charging it 3x's from near dead condition. My Husband plans on upgrading his G5 too, impressed with my phone.
Screen resolution is beautiful, camera and video are easy to use. The additional download from Samsung for camera makes nice photos. Can even mirror phone to our Samsung TV pretty awesome toys.
So far no dropped calls live in a rural area and signal is stronger than what G5 was able to do.
Only thing I don't like are the games that were on the phone, I don't play those types of games and they were quickly disabled and if possible uninstalled completely.
Has the phone for only 1 day coming from a G5. It's quite FAST! I do find it to a bit touchy in regard to unintentionally selecting apps or pressing the button on the site of the phone. Maybe I will get used to that time will tell. I also find that the surface although elegant is so prone to showing every single finger print. I will be placing it in a Otterbox case so that will not be an issue moving forward.
I also notice that there is no longer a IR Blaster as I had on my S5. I was surprised and a bit disappointed but can live with it...
Another thing that does have me concerned is the phone gets VERY hot very quickly. Even just sitting there on the charger its HOT to the touch when placed in the hand. I am wondering how this will affect the performance in particular when put into a protective case.
Time will tell - I can say overall I am very excited about the new S7 and hope that some of my expressed concerns will be mitigated as I have more time to use the phone.
Pros: Bright display
Cons: easy to smudge, gets very warm, over sensative to the touch of outside buttons
I would recommend this to a friend!

Phenomenal!

It's sleek, fast, and I love the wrapped screen display. It looks almost 3d. Tried it out with a vr headset and it looks amazing! It ran all the programs without overheating and the quality was phenomenal! Definitely need a case for daily use because the wrapped screen makes it hard to use easily with one hand.
Pros: Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: wrap around screen makes it difficult to use one h

Another great phone!

This is my 4th Galaxy phone. Starting with the original Galaxy S, and moving to S3 and S5 and now the S7, I have to say the product line just keeps getting better and better.
Super fast, amazing screen, great quality. This phone is so smooth, no lag, and everything is super responsive. The new fingerprint sensor is great, So much better than what was on the S5 (no more swipes, YEAH!)
My only complaint is the bloatware that Verizon forces on the phone. Not Samsung's fault, but it is annoying to have all that crud on the phone that will never get used.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love the phone. My only complaint is that the battery doesn't last as long as you might expect... nowhere near 27 hours of talk time.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Built-in speakers
Cons: poor battery life
