I have had almost every phone that Samsung has made. The galaxy s7 edge is the best phone I have ever owned. It is quick and has a great camera, also the fact that it is water proof is amazing.
I will admit that I'm a heavy user, I clock a lot of screen time. So when I heard the battery was going to be a huge upgrade from previous generation's and the competition I was very excited. Now that I'm using my S7 Edge for a few weeks I'm not upset just disappointed. I'm charging my S7 Edge 2 or 3 times a day but fast charging cuts down on the irritation. I've also noticed a stutter a few times, slight freezing and that's irritating. I've been very careful with my S7 Edge but I noticed yesterday a small 1 centimeter scratch on the screen, I have no how it got there and that makes me very sad.
With all that said now let me tell u how great this phone is. My favorite aspect of the phone is how great it feels in the hand, I love rolling it over in my palm and running my fingers across the screen. My second favorite thing would be the look. I have the silver S7 Edge and the way the light reflects is beautiful and minimum bezels/curved screen sets the phone apart from the competition. The phone is quick and intuitive. One great thing about this phone is that it's future proof. With water resistance, removable SD card, 4k video this phone is ready for tomorrow. Not having a laptop or desktop to transfer files to when I'm out of space was a huge problem until now. Now all I do it pop in a new SD card and I'm set, I never have to delete anything again. The screen is beautiful and the camera is very nice. The camera is super quick and the speaker is pretty descent. With fast wireless charging I will never have the charging port go bad and that means one less thing to have to worry about. I've had my charging port go bad on my previous phone twice, (it wasnt a samsung phone) that problem won't happen with my S7 Edge. In addition the GEAR VR is just the cherry on top. This phone is highly customizable so it will fit anyone's taste. My s7 edge is my primary computer, a computer that makes phone calls, so yeah it's a phone but I think I made the best choice for my needs.
If samsung can fix the rare stutter/freeze and find a way to power a phone for all day heavy use and increase the strength of the glass then samsung will have made the perfect handheld computer/smart phone. I do, and I have recommended the galaxy s7 edge to my friends and family. I really like my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
Pros: future proof, fast wireless charging, great feeling phone, great fast camera, sd card, gear vr, great screen, good speaker, 4k video, waterproof and beautiful design
Cons: disappointing battery life for heavy use., rare stutter/freeze, easley scratched screen
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the edge features and look. Hard to protect.

The dual edge design looks amazing and provide a lot of neat features. The dual edge design also makes it very hard for a case to do an adequate job of protecting the screen. I have a case that it raised on the top and bottom to help prevent the screen from hitting the ground it dropped. I dropped my phone one time and a tiny rock on the ground cracked my screen. Overall the phone is great. Just be really careful to not drop it.
Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers
Cons: hard to find a good case that protects the screen
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great phone but new software a little buggy

Overall I think this is another great product from Samsung, however, I think the new software (Android 6.0.1) has some bugs that need to be fixed. I have faith that Samsung will remedy that in short time.
Until the software issues are fixed, I give it a 9.5 out of 10.
I love the speed of the phone. It is also the first cell phone that I have owned that I can actually hear on the phone with out some staticy background sound.
Cons. they took out some setting options on the calander.
The phone also died after about 2 weeks. I got a black screeen and could not get it to work. Went on line and found that this is a common problem with this phone. Hopefully Samsung can fix this. There is a way to get it working again but I don't want to have to be doing this particularly if it dies during a phone call which apparently has happened to some people.
