I love my Samsung Edge 7. I went from a LG to My Edge and It is Amazing. I was like what is the big deal it is a phone.. but, the speakers are loud and you can add extra volume when in a noisy area. No one has a problem hearing me when on Speaker phone. The display is bright and readable. And the Edge Feature is So handy it brings my frequently used contacts, apps and the news right at my fingertips. Wonderful feature. Easy to learn also. Great phone.
Disclaimer, I was a Note 7 user until I had to turn it in because of the recall. I had decided to get the S7 edge, as quite a few other people I knew had one. My plan was to trade back to the Note 7 once the problems were fixed. However, after using the device for more than a few weeks, I may wind up not changing.
Performance wise, the S7 edge definitely uses it's Snapdragon processor well. It's quick to respond and only suffers from normal low signal, low connection lag that almost all smartphones deal with.
The edge takes some getting used to, and while it's not as comfortable to hold sans case (IMO) it is a great design that, with a little extra holdable (and not touch sensitive) space care of a small profile case, is very comfortable to use.
Call quality is good, screen quality is very good.
Some of the samsung software is useless to me, but overall the "bloatware" is minimal and the samsung apps (like edge buttons) are actually functional if you find them useful.
Samsung pay is a great choice if you're not beholden to Android pay already. I do miss, from the Note7, the ability to swipe from the bottom of the screen to access Samsung pay, but this is far from a deal breaker.
Overall, this is a great phone. Time will tell if I wind up going back to the Note 7, but other than a few specific items only available on the Note 7 (AOD notifications for example), this phone is a perfect daily driver for someone used to maximium tech usage on the go.
Pros: Bright display
I would recommend this to a friend!

I recently received the s7 edge because my note broke and the insurance company made me wait longer than expected for a replacement. This phone runs hot. It cuts out whenever and comes on whenever it wants. I ordered 5 cases for the phone just to realize that I wouldn't find a case that would cover it enough for me secure it from falls, etc. I thought I would be so much happier with an updated phone (coming from the note 4) but I was not. I felt from the beginning that it works when wanted.
