This is truly an outstanding phone. Here's a quick recap of my experience with my s7 edge so far.
1. Pictures/Videos - I carry both a Samsung s7 edge along with an iPhone 6S+. I find myself taking 90% of pictures and videos using my s7 edge, and then texting the pictures/videos to my iPhone. It's the best camera I've ever seen on a smartphone hands down.
2. Hardware - It feels so much better in the hand then its predecessor. The s7 edge is much more rounded as opposed to sharp edges, so it sits better in the hand, and makes it easier to grip. Also, the added SD card is great, and keeping the waterproof/water resistant feature going from the s5 models is outstanding, especially for rain, sweat, and for summertime around water. As always, Samsung phones provide the best screen/display across all smartphones, both with clarity and color.
3. Software - This is the best version of Touchwiz, but I'm still not a huge fan of Samsung's styling. This version is much more acceptable, but I still end up skinning it with Nova Launcher to give a more stock Android feel. This is my only complaint with Samsung phones these days. I wish they would stop trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to the software overlay. Stock Android is great, and it doesn't need altering.
Overall, great phone.. You will not be disappointed. Outside of it being very fragile (curved glass = fragile, no way around it) and dealing with Samsung's Touchwiz, I would give this phone an A+. Enjoy!
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display
Cons: touchwiz, fragile
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the phone, can not stop playing with it. It is so light and fast that I can't believe it. I only buy Samsung products and bought this even though I had the Samsung S6 Active and loved that too. It fits in your hand so nicely.
A great product. I love the display and colors.Well made and an outstanding product. I own Samsung TV's , a Samsung refrigerator , two Samsung phones.The Samsung VR is so realistic it's addictive.
I'm a truck driver and the voice commands are so nice on this phone. I've owned many Galaxy phones and this one didn't disappoint
Pros: Bright display
I would recommend this to a friend!

I originally had the S3 for about 4 years and was fine with that but I cracked my screen so I figured I would upgrade and got the S7 edge and so far have nothing but good things to say. Phone looks cool, its super fast, and the battery easily lasts all day, get one.
Pros: Bright display, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love this phone. Been using old flip phone and finally moved up. I thought it would be to hard to use for an older person. Easy to use and so nice to be able to communicate with grandchildren and friends.

Samsung Galaxy S7 is one of the best phone I've seen it so far it surpasses the Droid Turbo and surpasses anything out there I've had Samsung products my whole life and I've never let me down I had one Android and it totally tanked then I got a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime and it was a big upgrade that I got this Samsung S7 right now I'm using the Flawless voice control on it to type Samsung all the way!!!
