This is my first Samsung, I previously had an iPhone. It's taking time to get used to the bigger phone, it's not as convenient. The phone... I find this the most cumbersome or tedious compared to the iPhone. You can't see the number you are calling once on the phone, contacts are not as readily available if you want to look up someone while on the phone or share a contact while on the phone. It takes a while for the phone to hang up after touching end call. In general I find most things take one more step, at the least, compared to do what you can do on an iPhone.
The one thing I love about this phone and the reason I didn't take it back is the camera. I take a lot of photos and this saves me from taking a camera when I'm wanting quality photos. I like all the options on the camera as well. I also love that you can add a memory card for as much storage as you want. Like I said, I take a lot of photos. :)
The internet connection is fast but sometimes using the things on the device that you want to use are a bit slow. In general I find the iPhone faster. But if I recall correctly this is not suppose to be the case.
It's good but does not knock my socks off, except for the camera. Again, most things take added steps to accomplish or find compared to the iPhone, and that's the part I miss the most, along with the smaller size.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, camera
Cons: Too big, too many added steps

Excellent Product

I'm a long-time fan of another phone brand, but wanted a better camera experience. I really enjoy my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge phone. While using it, it is fluid and smooth. Apps load quickly.
My only complaint is the power button being opposite of the volume buttons. Too often, I find I need a two-handed grip to use just one button or the other (a volume button versus the power button).
Well I'm the type of person who likes to stick with what they have for as long as possible, I have had an S3 for as long as it has been out and it still looks like new when when I pick up this phone the S7 edge the difference in performance and power where to say the least impressive, it was so good that I got one for my wife as well, I'm sure I will stick with samsung for as long as I can.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: my fingers are to big for the edge
I would recommend this to a friend!

I thought this phone would be a minor upgrade from the Galaxy S4. Same basic look, and features. I was wrong. This phone has a lot of new features which I didn't learn about until I explored Samsung's site.
New camera features (like wide selfie) and more Heart monitor Emergency mode to preserve battery life when you don't have a way to charge it Side sync (very cool, read about it) Fingerprint security Split screen
Overall there were a lot of surprises and it has made it fun again.
Fantastic Device with solid Battery Life and intuitive tools

I have had this device for about 2 weeks and it has performed even more fantastic than expected. I had read reviews and looked into the features but once you use the features you get a real feel for what this new Samsung Flagship can do. I have been impressed with the Features including the Edge tools they are quick to access and help to make using this phone even quicker. As for the Camera... Well I have not see a phone camera that is quite this good on any previous phones I have used. With a camera of this caliber I will be able to leave my point and shoot behind and rely on just carrying my phone. Fantastic Phone. Go get yourself one. and good luck

This is the first Samsung product I've ever purchased and I'm impressed with the entirety of the phone. Design is beautiful and the screen is gorgeous. The clarity of the cameras is stunning. Overall I'm impressed. It's an expensive phone but it is worth it
