So I upgraded from a Note 3 and let me tell you, it was so worth the wait! I have not been able to put this phone down. What drew me to this phone, was the edge screen. The Silver Titanium color is gorgeous. The picture on the website doesn't do it justice. I can't be mad at the fact they brought back expandable storage (please don't take that feature away again!). Oh and let's not forget water resistance. Thank goodness they upped the battery life because I have been spending some quality time with this beauty and it lasts a long time. The camera is amazing, the game launcher is a cool feature, the edge function...I didn't think I would use it, but I have and it's very useful. The fingerprint scanner is one of my faves. I can add extra security to my phone (financial, mobile pay apps), or if I want to hide content, only way it can be accessed is with my fingerprint. I'm pretty happy with my purchase. Now I'm waiting for my free VR!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, functionality
Cons: expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

A little slippery

Just picked up a new S7 about 5 days ago. It's awsome but the case is a little slippery. I think it need a protection case. The firmware is super. Updates are easy to learn.
There is nothing about this phone that I don't just love. The display is so crisp and clear; the ease of use is amazing. The camera is phenomenal. I cannot believe the quality of pictures that I can take. I honestly think I get better pics than I do with my DSLR camera! The onscreen editing tools are great,and I love the capability to easily share pictures with friends and family. The clarity when talking on the phone is so much better than any of the other smartphones I have had. Overall, I love all of my Samsung products, and convinced my mother to use only Samsung as well due to the ease of use and quality of the products.
Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, camera quality

Galaxy S7 Edge

I switched from an iPhone 6S Plus Rose Gold 64gb edition to the Galaxy S7 Edge 32GB Gold edition and so far I have loved it. I love the edge display and the rear facing camera. I would say that I have very few complaints about this device. It gets warm it gets with medium usage and the battery life are my main 2. While this device has s 3600 battery, I feel that my iPhone 6S Plus used the OS to make the battery life on the iPhone better (but not by much, maybe an hour or 2 depending on my usage). I also love Samsung Pay! I have used it every where I possibly can and I think its wonderful (however I needs to add Capital One to the list).
The display is beautiful! I love looking at photos on my S7 Edge because the colors just POP! And taking pictures is even better. The low light camera is one of the best I've ever used personally (coming from iPhone's and a Note 5 a few months ago).
I think my other complaint is the processor in the USA model verses the International model. After watching some videos online and after seeing tests performed, the International model is the better one of the 2 to have. It seems to be faster, runs cooler and can handle multitasking a lot better then the Snapdragon processor in the USA model. I would love to see the International model available more here in the USA as a standard instead of International.
The last problem I have with this device (and this issue is more because of AT&T) and thats all the AT&T/DirecTV bloatware that is pre-installed on this device. There is so much that takes up space and it cannot be removed unless the device is rooted (which I don't want to do) but I hate the fact that I cannot remove these apps. Especially the DirecTV ones (I don't have DirecTV and never will) so I find it very useless to me.
Fix these minor issues and this device would be perfect for me! I would rate 5 out of 5 if these minor issues were resolved.
Cons: battery life is shorter then iphone 6s plus, device gets really warm after medium usage
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love my Samsung phone. I've had the s5 active and Iphone, and this by far is the easiest to use. The best feature is the night time clock feature. I like being able to look at the clock without lighting up the whole room.
Pros: Bright display, edge screen
Cons: not able to switch batteries

I love the clarity & the newer features that the S5 did not have.
