The phone itself has great specs and all the features you know and love from the galaxy line Including but not limited to:
*PRAISE THE HELIX FOSSIL!!!!! The return of the MicroSDXC slot. (For those who don't know its on the sim tray.
-Easy mode: an easy to use interface for those new to smart phones or for those who want a simpler method of using their handset
*Power Saving mode/ Ultra low power Saving mode: Ways to save your battery if you are far from a charger, combine these with android 6.0's doze function and you will have no reason to worry about a low battery situation.
*the design: Samsung keeps refining the touchwiz experience to the point an android purist such as myself can even enjoy it (Kudos there Samsung)
*Full device encryption: not a Samsung exclusive i know but just a great feature for them to leave enabled (not set up by default)
The bad:
The backplate is glass, meaning much like the fourth iteration of the fruit branded phones >.>, the back panel is subject to potential breakage if dropped or mishandled. (PUT A CASE ON YOUR PHONE!!!!!!! lol)

Carried branding.... I know its outside of your control Samsung, I just would like to see a phone on Big Red without all the Big Red bloat. I am not knocking off points for this cause the bloatware can be disabled, they just use space in the system partition thus taking space from the overall storage of the phone.
My only other comment, Im coming from one of those phones with the fancy name licensed by a "film company that was purchased by a mouse with big round ears"......(<.< getting around using the actual brand names requires some creativity), Well the previous handset I had had a 3500MAH battery and a finely tuned system for that battery, so the shock of going from 2 days between charges to a phone that lasts a day at most (encryption uses a lot of juice Im figuring) can be a little disconcerting considering the S7 sports a 3000MAH battery.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: battery optimization not 100%
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very nice

I have been a Note fanatic from their beginning, and i would have purchased another one. My only disappointment with the S7 Edge is losing my stylus and handwriting abilities. I used it often at work. The Edge is very nice aside from that. I hope to see some type of Note return soon though. Samsung rocks.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Lightweight, Built-in speakers
Cons: no stylus

Just a great phone.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is a fantastic phone. Right out of the box you think "Wow, this is an incredibly light and good looking phone!". Smile, wise consumer, this is YOUR incredibly light and good looking phone. This feeling continues as you turn on the phone and the vibrant screen greets its new owner. Setup was a breeze, and the super convenient Samsung Smart Switch app made it really easy to move everything from my old phone. (You need to download Samsung Smart Switch on your old, not incredibly light or good looking phone from whatever app store you may use. This was not available for my phone, the One Plus Two. I was able to side load the app by downloading the APK and installing it manually).
Touch Wiz continues to be refined into a smoother and better experience, though I wish I could remove some apps. For example, I *love* Google's calendar app, especially the widget. You can't remove or even disable the Samsung calendar app, I just get the pleasure of having two calendar apps. There are worse problems to have. The edge tools are neat, but I don't think I'll be using them often. The fingerprint reader is zippy and accurate.
I play a lot of games on my phone. And we're not talking crushing candy here. Games that chew through batteries and make the screen red hot with processing power. That's a thing, right? Anyway, this phone holds up. Super powerful, the battery holds up, and the phone doesn't feel like I'm resting my hands on a hot stove. But the phone does this thing. And I don't like this thing. The phone is under the impression that I want to play my games with a super vibrant, super saturated color scheme. I don't. At all. It's making my games look awful. Samsung, I beg of you, add the option to keep the "current" color profile while playing games. "Basic" mode is perfect, please let me play my games "Basic" mode.
Buy this phone. You won't be disappointed. You know what is disappointing? Your current phone. Your current, miserably heavy, incredibly ugly phone.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Lightweight, battery life, easy setup
Cons: forced "vibrant" color scheme while playing games.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Severe WiFi issue!
on March 24, 2016
Posted by: WETii

This phone has one severe issue that trumps all of the good points of this phone, and that is a WiFi issue.
There are a lot of reports of the WiFi not working when the Bluetooth is on, but my experience is even worse.
My WiFi data speed is slower then dial-up modem speeds. And if WiFi is on, it slows the 4G LTE speeds to 1G speeds.
This is not just one phone, I had a pre-order that was returned, only to find the second phone had a identical issue. I have done all of the uninstall, reinstall, The factory resets, Tried different WiFi networks. And WiFi will not work correctly, and it brings LTE to it's knees!

New to Androids

I am impressed with the beauty and functionality of this phone. Am still learning my way around android system. My service provider store reps did the setup and transfer from my last phone, and also installed the strong protective screen guard in the event the phone decides to inadvertently take a "ground flight".
Photos are VERY impressive; camera is stable NO blurs. Love the camera!
The S7 Edge is perfect weight, feels like high quality, Paired easily with my Bluetooth devices seamlessly.
Busy exploring the apps and all the amenities of the device.
Also located a really nice "back protective jacket" in the exact same color of the phone. Didn't want to cover the beautiful Gold back.
