My new Samsung S7
on March 27, 2016

The Samsung S7 is a great follow-on to my old S4. The screen is as clear and crisp as a glossy picture. The features are much easier to access with fewer steps so I spend less time getting to what I need. I really love the fingerprint security feature. Not having to enter a pass-code every time you want to do something on your smartphone is just so convenient. And the camera! what a breeze and really great pictures. I won't need my old digital camera anymore because the pictures are so good I cannot tell the difference. At home with my WIFI the internet access speed is so good I find myself using the phone as much as my laptop. Lastly, the power saving features allow me to forget to charge my phone and still have power for the next day.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Lightweight, easy to secure
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best upgrade I've ever made. I loved my Note 3, but the S7 Edge blows it out of the water. I can't wait to upgrade to the Note Edge when it comes out!
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, amazing camera

Only just misses 5 stars

Having used this phone for about two weeks now, I can easily say I'm glad I upgraded from my S5 to the S7. I wasn't too impressed with the S6 for its lack of features that the S5 had - namely water/dust resistance, expandable storage, and a removable battery, so when rumors began to surface about the S7 bringing back the water/dust resistance and the SD card slot, my first thought was that if they were true, I would upgrade as soon as it came out. Sure enough, the conference came and I eagerly awaited the day the S7 was released. I bought the phone the day after it was released, and I have to say, I'm still impressed by it every single day.
All the features I love are much improved, the phone feels great in the hands (quite slippery, though), the buttons feel very solid, the camera and home button now much more flush with the body, the screen looks absolutely incredible. So much so I had to add two pros for it. This has to be the best display I've laid eyes on in a phone. The battery life is pretty much what I've come to expect, since I'm pretty heavy on my usage I end up having to charge it every night, but it's always enough to get me through the day. If it's not, ultra power-saving mode to the rescue! The fast charging also usually means that I can plug it up, finish what I'm doing before bed, and by the time I'm ready to sleep, it's already charged. The performance is top-notch, much faster than even my S5 was out of the box. The always-on screen is very nice for having the phone sitting out on the desk or table - very useful for quickly checking the time or glancing at the calendar depending on the selected setting. The cameras are still impressive, too. The S7 has the best front-facing camera I've seen on a smart phone, and the rear camera, despite the drop in megapixels, is still just as good as the S5 or S6 were. The only complaint I really have about the camera is the low-light performance still isn't there. I'm not a camera expert, but compared to a few other phones out there, there's still just a little bit of room for improvement - the colors aren't as sharp and any light in the shot tends to blur together in splotches without every focusing enough.
Aside from the low-light performance of the camera, the only faults I can find with the phone are the speaker, the slipperiness, and one detail about the design. The speaker isn't the clearest; it gets overwhelmed by too many sounds too easily, music sounds a bit muddy through it, and sounds just don't seem to sound as clear as they could. This is really a minor problem, though, because the water resistance is to blame here, and I'm more than happy to make this trade. 98% of the time if I do listen to music or watch videos, I'm using my headphones anyway, so this is really a minor issue. The biggest problem I have with this phone comes from just how good it looks. The glass and metal look is definitely a premium design, and it looks and feels absolutely awesome, but this thing is so slippery it almost scares me to take it out of my pocket sometimes. I remember one reviewer saying that the phone had slipped out of their pocket while they were driving. I scoffed a little bit, and credited that to whatever pants they must have been wearing. I can now say they weren't lying - the same thing has happened to me twice now: once while driving to work, the other while driving to campus. Both are pretty short drives, but it was obviously long enough for the phone to decide it didn't want to be there anymore. Lastly, the only criticism of the design I have is that the S series is starting to go down the path of following a design of a certain other popular phone line. This isn't the only phone that has done so, there are several others which have also done so, but Samsung's designs have always been great, and it's a shame to see this phone beginning to take on that familiar shape. That being said, the subtle details of the design (the slightly curved edges around the front and back being my favorite) really shine here, and it's only in combination with these other two things that I have to rate it 4 stars instead of 5.
I usually grow tired of phones pretty quickly, but I have a feeling I'm going to be loving this phone well past the release of the next in the S series, and I look forward to the many months to come of using the S7.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, water resistance, expandable storage, much improved fingerprint sensor, great feeling, good design, gorgeous display, fantastic front camera, rear camera
Cons: speaker, quite slippery in the hand, camera's low-light performance
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great upgrade from my S5
on March 27, 2016
Posted by: Je11yman
I was a Galaxy S5 user for the past two years and I loved it. But over time I felt the crunch of space constraints, battery life, and just was ready for some new features. Well Samsung did not disappoint. The weight and feel of the phone is lighter and nicer than I had expected. The always on display means that I can finally remember the date just with a glance. The camera is just flat out amazing. Pictures with great exposure, color and detail. I just love it.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, camera
Cons: speaker is a little quiet
I would recommend this to a friend!
