I was using the Samsung S6 active before I upgraded to the S7 edge. The S6 was a great phone. I do a lot of field work and even without a case it stood up to some pretty harsh treatment with no issues. The day I received the S7, before even making my first call, my son who was just as excited as I was took it over to show my wife doing dishes at the sink. You just it, plunk. My wife freaked as she has an iPhone and this would have been disastrous. I reached in, dried it off with towel and called our home phone; NO ISSUES. As for the phone itself, first off it works great as a phone, the camera is awesome, and Samsung Pay keeps amazing vendors who tell me "never seen that work here". The battery life seems a little shorter than the S6 but I am still playing around with it. Samsung did improve the wireless charging. My S6 had to be in just the right position or it would start/stop constantly. The S7 just works. Overall, the S7 feels great in your hand, slim, and comfortable to use.
Pros: Bright display, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Incredible Galaxy S7 Edge

when I upgraded form the S6 Edge top the S7 Edge, I resigned myself to cosmetic changes and minimal power/camera upgrades; but the S7 Edge went into the stratosphere with the upgrade. The camera catches motion pics light years ahead of the S6 edge and the normally paltry battery power is at least 3 times more powerful. The startup is in seconds and the apps actually work out of the box. the ability to easily switch apps, changes appearances, as well as run dozens of apps at once without lag is amazing. I love this phone. I was already hooked on the Galaxy S family, but you have a member for life now. thank you Samsung!
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, powerful camera and video
Cons: expensive full price

Samsung Galaxy S7

I think this is one of the best phones out there and I love that it's waterproof!
Love this phone. Great size, not to big. Like the different font sizes, easy to read. Easy to use and very easy to transfer over from other phone. Like the edge features.
To be fair, this is my third Galaxy phone. However, I was not sold on the S6 when it came out. I questioned the lack of removable battery and no ability to expand the memory. The lack of water resistance also added to my hesitation. However, when I heard about the imminent release of the S7, I knew it was the device I had been waiting for!
It has everything I'd yearned for in the S6, plus the elements I loved in my S5. I pre-ordered and have been beyond pleased since receiving my device. Beautifully designed, and with features I didn't realize I needed. Gorgeous low-light photos, solid feel, phenomenal battery life, and perfect size as well. And the HD call quality can't be beat.
I am extremely pleased with my purchase and even bought an S7 for my brother. I highly recommend this phone!
