It's truly a state of the art phone, with all the bells and whistles you could want, but it's a bit "fumbly" to use. The volume down button is opposite the power button: Every time you wake it up you also lower the volume.
It's nearly impossible to pick up or remove from your pocket without pushing one or more controls (hardware or software "button").
The screen is gorgeous, typing is amazing (although its predictions and Swype completions are almost never correct for me).
I'm coming back to Android after using Windows phones for several years, and Android -- even this latest version -- seems pretty clunky to me, with lots of non-intuitive "features." But the Google Play store is a treasure, and Samsung Pay is wonderful.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display
Cons: android seems old-fashioned compared to windows
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love the camera, I was very happy with the camera in my 5, but the ability to do more with lowlight is a big big improvement for me. The battery life is better than I expected, too. Honestly, I don't have a single complaint about this phone!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight

attractive, easy to use, packed with features, and reliable
I have been using Samsung Galaxy phones since the S3 and have yet to find any other android phone to compare. Even though I've been using these phones for a while, I'm still blown away by the new S7. First of all, I love the color choices. I decided on Gold Platinum, and I feel like a superstar using it! I also can't believe how fast this phone is. I have been using it constantly-adding new apps left and right; and it still hasn't slowed down! The features are great because I can easily take a photo and capture an entire memory instead of a single frame. Taking a picture is so easy, too because I just press the "home" button twice and BAM! Photo Action! I can also listen to music and watch videos with amazingly bright display and crisp speakers. I feel like this phone is more durable and lightweight and provides ease of mind with my clumsy fingers!
The best part of this phone: It's not too expensive! I found myself on a plan buying this phone for a reasonable price!
I love this phone. Kudos to the creators, and potential customers... BUY IT ALREADY! :)
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, modern features, amazing camera

So far, the Galaxy S7 Edge has been a great phone. The screen is excellent, battery life has been better than I expected, and all apps have run well. WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity have been problem free and call quality has been good.
The only drawback is the lack of removable battery. While the battery is more than sufficient for a typical day's use, the phone must be returned for repair if the battery goes bad.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display
Cons: no removable battery
