I purchased the S7 as a replacement for my LG G3, but previously owned the S5 and S3. The S7 is a remarkable upgrade from my previous phones, in terms of both performance and features. While I was used to having a bigger phone, I have found that I actually prefer the size of the S7 - and the display is awesome with excellent sharpness. The battery life is decent enough to last through the day with normal-to-heavy usage. Also, Samsung Pay is life-changing and far superior to its competitors!
The only complaints that I have is that the edges of the screen are slightly beveled, which makes finding a good screen protector difficult, and the speaker. This may not be a concern to some people, but I prefer to have the piece of mind of having a good fitting tempered glass screen protector on my phone. In regard to the speaker, I believe that it is just not as loud as other phones I have owned.
Overall, a great phone that I am very happy with!
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, samsung pay, fast performance
Cons: beveled screen edges, quiet speaker
I would recommend this to a friend!

My S7, has great features, the speaker is great, it's fast. Love love, my phone. Doesn't get hot when charging. Connects to my bluetooth fast. The color I chose is great. I would recommend this phone to my family and friends without a doubt.
The features on this phone is awesome. Lightweight and fits in to your hand greatly. The image/display on the screen is very clear. You can see all the details on the phone. By far the best phone I have owned.
I'm coming from an iPhone and have found this phone to be everything that I needed. Lots of fun as well as useful features. Perfect size and the battery will last all day.
Pros: Bright display, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pretty Good Phone

I've had this phone for a little under a month. I upgraded from a Galaxy S5. Immediately I noticed the phone ran a lot faster and more smoothly than my s5. The battery life seemed really great at first, having come from a battery life of about an hour. The battery life usually lasts all day, sometimes extending into the next day. I use the phone pretty frequently too, so it's pretty good even with heavy use. I'm hoping that the life of the battery doesn't deteriorate too bad over time. It charges really fast with the stock charger it came with. I like that the speakers are at the bottom egde of the phone now rather than on the back. On the s5 it was really easy to cover up the speakers with your hand or by setting the phone down on a flat surface. The front facing camera seems much better on the s7 than it was on the s5. The s5 seemed to distort the front facing cameras pictures. It's much better on the s7, for those who enjoy taking selfies and such. The rear facing camera is pretty decent but I haven't used it much yet. I noticed a few glitchy things when I first started using the phone but it hasn't happened again. Basically I would click on an app, and it would repeatedly pop up and close in quick flashes and the screen wouldn't respond. This was within the first couple of days of use but it seems to have stopped. Sound quality from the speakers is good. That's about all I have to say for this review so far.
Pros: Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fast and with a great camera. Easy transition from an older cheap Samsung phone, using Smart Switch. Liking Samsung Pay although 2 out of 9 credit cards I have, don't work with it.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight

I love this phone it fits so comfortably in my hand it is so lightweight and thin that I don't have to worry about dropping it. It is very fast and I love the edge technology I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 active and it is wonderful but this one beats it by far! I recommend this phone
