I really like this smartphone though there are a couple of areas I would like improved. The device handles any app I have used on it so far with ease. Great resolution and clarity of the screen when watching videos or playing games.
The only drawbacks I find is that tends to get very warm, almost to an uncomfortable level, when doing any serious processing for any length of time. After 5-10 minutes of playing a game with lots of stuff going on, the phone gets warm enough that I have to stop and put the phone down to let it cool off.
The other drawback is that the actual phone function of the device isn't all that great. I live in a low signal area with usually only 1-2 bars of signal on previous phones. With this phone I am getting much less signal in places I previously had signal.
Even with these drawbacks I would still recommend this device to my friends.
It takes a little time to get used to typing on the Edge, primarily those keys on the edge. The power button is lower on the side, than the S5.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

On the Edge of Perfection

Loving my new phone! Nearly perfect in design...The Galaxy S7 Edge is truly a device worthy of praise & consideration. Sleek & beautiful in design, the S7 & S7 Edge brings together nearly all of the specs I have pined for, and many of those missing from the S6. Phenomenal performance from the Snapdragon 820 & 4gb RAM, improved finger print reader, return of waterproofing & microSD(THANK YOU!!), Gorilla Glass 4, easy to hold than previous models due to improved ergonomics... absolutely amazing camera performace from the 12 MP dual pixel with OIS, feeding gorgeous images to the steller QHD screen...MUCH improved battery life, and all in a such a cafefully considered and beautiful design. While I can admit to missing the usb 3.0 &removable battery of my S5, I consider the larger battery & quick charge 2.0 a fair compromise in the S7 Edge. Only the loss of IR blaster functionality tarnishes this otherwise glorious example of how a handset should be made. Hopefully this will return with the Note 6! I have owned every Galaxy S handset..save the S6, soo.. Thank you Samsung for returning microSD & waterproofing!
Cons: lack of ir blaster :-(, quick charge 2.0 instead of 3.0
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Phone on the Market

The Galaxy S7 Edge is such a beautiful phone. I have been nothing but impressed with it since I got it. I love the edges; so sleek. And the edge panels are great, can access apps and more from anywhere. I'm glad Samsung went back to having memory cards; I'm not worried about which apps or photos to delete to make more room. Touchwiz has even improved this go around. Also, the Edge doesn't feel like a 5.5 in screen phone; I can use it comfortably with one hand.
This is my first Samsung phone as well as first time using Android. I have been a long time iPhone user but decided it was time to try something new. I will say that there are a lot of annoyances with the operating system that you just don't see on iOS. If you can get past those then the system allows you do to a lot more than you could do on an iPhone. The phone itself is pretty fast and seems to run everything I throw at it. It's also an amazing looking device. As far as aesthetics go it's the best looking phone I have owned to date. I have not tested the waterproof featured but there is peace of mind knowing that it's there in case of an accident.
Samsung has put together a quality product taking into account the need for expandable memory, battery life and a functional sized screen to not make me squint when watching the ridiculous amount of media in the world.
