The Samsung Galaxy S7 is a solid, well built, thoughtfully engineered piece of art. It's great looking a well as extremely functional. Beautiful display and cameras see excellent, even in low light, or under water! The volume buttons and power buttons sit in the right place and are sitting just the right amount out of the phone. The phone speaker is loud and clear and the speakerphone is loud enough (especially since it only has one), but crystal clear, even at max volume.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, beautiful, powerful & fast, cameras rock, water proof without plugs!, external sd card reader, feels great in you hand, fingerprint scanner works amazingly
Cons: glass back of phone is a fingerprint magnet, i'm getting a case. i've never had one before :-(
I would recommend this to a friend!

This phone is a life saver my daughter threw it in toilet and it survived thank you Samsung for making such a wet proof phone
Several week ago I upgraded from my old Galaxy 3 to the s7 and have loved almost every moment of it. Yesterday morning I was browsing a website and when I backed out of it, my screen went black. I tried to power it off and on to no avail. I freaked out because I had just bought this phone two weeks ago to the day and it seemed to be no longer functional. I haven't dropped it, gotten it wet, or exposed it to anything that could have damaged it. Luckily, I went to my iPad and did a quick Google search that explained that this happened in the 6s and apparently was happening in the 7s and could usually be solved by hitting the power and the volume down button. That did the trick and I scrolled up so it wouldn't factory reset. Everything was still there, intact. I wasn't very happy to have gone through that experience.
Other than that, everything with the phone has been great. It takes great pictures. The screen in a nice size, the picture looks good, sounds good. I love the gold color. It processes everything so quickly. I'm very glad that I upgraded to this phone, minus that one snafu.
I love how I can customize almost everything, how many apps it supports, and the battery life is pretty descent. I can make it through most of the day without giving it a charge, which is refreshing after having such an old phone.
I would recommend this phone to others.
Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers, Lightweight, great camera
Cons: black screen of semi death

MUST HAVE!

Great phone! Would highly recommend. Size and weight are perfect.
I have had my Galaxy S7 for about a week now and have had a chance to play with it enough to know that this is by far the best smartphone out right now. My previous phone was a Galaxy S5 and although the jump wasn't as dramatic as I was hoping it would be, it definitely has the features and performance to stand out against the competition.
The exterior of the phone has a different feel to the S5 due to its metal back. The screen also has a smoother feel to it and it seems to curved around the edges which also gives it a unique feel to it. The home button no longer has the chrome ring around it which gives it a cleaner all black look. I haven't had a chance to test how waterproof it really is but at the same time I don't want to test it out. But, it's good to know that if an accident involving water were to happen it should be pretty safe.
Samsung has also somehow improved it's display since the S5. Samsung is hands down the best at creating a beautiful LED screen and they keep topping themselves. When placing the S7 next to my S5 you can see the difference in vibrant colors and brightness. The blacks are richer and the colors really pop.
As for performance, it's slightly faster than the S5. Apps that used to load slowly now open up a lot quicker and does not slow down the rest of the phone while in use. The true test will come with time and as the phone gets loaded with more background running apps but initial experience is great.
There are some great features on the phone that I'm not sure were on the S6 already or not but were not in the S5. Such as the convenience of the headphone jack under the phone now, The My Places widget is also great for customizing the settings on phone based on where I am at the moment. This is a really great feature to have so I won't have to worry about muting my phone every time I go into work or have to turn on my Bluetooth off. This feature allows the S7 to do it on its own based on the wifi it connects to or the location I am in . The Always on Display feature is also convenient for when I am at work and can just leave the phone on my desk and see the time without having to touch my phone.
The expandable memory slot is something I'm glad did not continue after the S6. That reason alone was the reason I did not have much interest in upgrading from an S5. Fortunately, the S7 returns with up to 200GB expandable memory slot and I replaced my old 32GB SD card with a 128GB one.
My only real disappointment with the phone is that I was hoping for more dramatic innovations with the S7 compared to my S5. With the exception of the minor noticeable improvements that catch my attention early on, it can be easily confused to an S5.
Overall, this phone is hard to beat. If you are in the market for a new phone this is the only phone that will have everything you need and more.
