All the features, Half the price!

"They" are pushing the S9 as the "newest," and it is. But you pay for it. The S7 is a solid peace of technology, and does everything you need, want, and only costs 1/2 of the newer models.
Pros: Durable, Inexpensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Phone

I have had this phone for almost 2 years and I must say it has served me well. I totally love the size, screen, the feel, the responsiveness of the touch screen. I must say it takes awesome photos. I can always bet on this phone to make me look great. My husband being a professional photographer is super impressed with the photos taken by this phone. I am saddened they no longer makes the edge. The only issue it was hard to find screen protectors that are perfect for the screen but that's what happens when you have a phone with a curved edge. Overall this is a fantastic phone.

Outstanding hardware, way too much bloatware and terrible battery life

This is my first Android device. I was attracted to it from my iPhone 6s Plus based mostly on the camera, specs, and battery size. On the camera and specs, it delivers. The camera is best on the market. The phone has incredibly good hardware and is very fast. I want to love it, I want to brag about it. There are two major things however that keep from doing so...
1 - The battery life. This phone has a bigger battery than my 6s Plus had. However it has far less than half the battery life. The reviews made it seem better, but real world, it's not. My 6s Plus was getting 9-10 hours of screen on time per charge. I am doing good on this one to get 3 and a half or 4 hours screen on time. Standby time on this phone is far worse than the 6s Plus too. I could overall get two full days on my 6s Plus before needing to charge again. On this one, I'm having to charge by about 3pm with light to moderate usage. I don't know what model the tech reviewers got, but in real world, the AT&T model is garbage for battery life.
2 - The bloatware. My goodness, the bloatware. Samsung has so much junk on this thing it's no wonder the battery suffers. They have decided to put their version of almost every Google app (what people really want, pure Android) alongside the Google apps you actually want, and you cannot remove the Samsung apps no matter what you do aside from rooting - which you also can't do since they mistakenly decided people want Samsung pay/Knox rather than having the ability to delete the junk off their phones. It's not just that there's effectively two of every app - the pure Android version and Samsung's version, it's that Samsung's versions are horrifically bad and you can't remove or even disable most of them. Touchwiz being the biggest offender, but they're all bad.
The phone itself feels great in hand. It's solid, well made, and I like it better than my 6s Plus. However it's the first and last Samsung device I'll buy until they remedy their bloatware and related, the horrible battery life in real world use. Again the reviews were great, that's why I bought it. But whatever S7 Edge they got in the labs and tech reviews must have been unicorns because the real world version doesn't come near living up to it. It'll be a Nexus device next time, or back to iOS. Not sure which yet. Samsung built great hardware, but they go against everything the Android experience is about.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, best camera, specifications
Cons: Did not meet expectations, battery life, bloatware, touchwiz
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Expertise:Expert
Great overall, way better than iphone 6 and 7. Camera is incredible. only downside is that it breaks easily because of the curved glass. Its also expensive to repair. so invest in a good case or insurance.
I AM DISAPPOINTED IN MY NEW S7 PHONE BECAUSE I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH IT FROM THE BEGINING SPOKE TO THE RETAILER BEFORE MY 14 DAYS WAS UP EXPECTING A REPLACEMENT AND INSTEAD AL I GOT WAS A BUNCH OF NON SENSE I AM A LOYAL SAMSUNG CUSTOMER AND EXPECTED BETTER I SHOULD HAVE JUST KEPT MY S5 IT WORKED MUCH BETTER EVEN THOUGH IT HAD LESS UPGRADES. SINCE VERIZON WOULD NOT REPLACE MY 2 AN A HALF WEEK OLD PHONE I HOPE SAMSUNG WILL AFTER THEY READ THIS REVIEW. ALL I WANT IS WHAT I PAID FOR A WELL WORKING S7. THANK YOU
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I do not believe that such a thing can exist.its highly valuable and greatly designed,not only view but also the hardware.features are wisely chosen and give the best experience to the user.I am sure it would be an other great victory for the Samsung. currently I am using note 4 and it works efficiently for me but i temped to buy this product because of great facilities that it gave to the user. finally i should say that i am waiting for this and counting seconds until times reach.
