Changed over from the iPhone 6s, it's been the best moved we've made. It took about week to learn the new system, but I'll never go back to the iPhone. This phone is way ahead of the competition
I went from a Note 3 to an S7 and don't regret it! As old as the S7 was, it kept up with all the updates. Upgrading to the S7 kept myself up to date with the latest and greatest.
Son broke my Galaxy S5 Active, went to ATT and purchased the Samsung Galaxy s7. Standard phone, NOT SO MUCH, let me tell you...this phone is definitely a great phone. The pictures are awesome and the functions are the same as other galaxies, trust me, hands down to this phone!!
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, camera quality to capture the moment!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm new/not new to the smartphone demographic. When the very first model iPhone came out, I was so stoked that I went out and bought one on release. Without even a month using it, my iPhone developed a cluster of dead pixels which made the keyboard unusable. This turned me totally away from touch screen smart phones for YEARS. I stubbornly glued myself to my little flip phones and QWERTY dumb phones, and I loved them. But as time went on and the smart phone became the "go-to" phone for the general public, I decided to try them again. My second go at the touch screen phones wasn't a Galaxy phone, and had both qualities I loved and cons I didn't like so much. But I kept the phone for a couple of years before I decided it was time to move on, as the phone was discontinued and I foresaw that it would eventually be a fairly useless brick without more updates. So, I decided it was time to upgrade and I chose the S7 Edge, as it was the newest model and I'd heard a lot of positive things about the Samsung Galaxy phones.
I want to start this review with the things I didn't like about the phone, to get those out of the way. The first couple of things I didn't like about the phone were noticeable right out of the box; the phone itself was fragile and SLICK, too slick, as in it was slipping out of my hands. It was clear I needed to purchase a case for it ASAP, or I might drop it and it would shatter. The second thing I absolutely didn't like made me a little sad for choosing the Edge over the S7- the keyboard rolls onto the Edge screen, and if you hold your phone like I do when I'm typing, the sides of my thumbs would press the keys and make it very hard to type a proper message without having to backspace several times. Luckily, the problem was solved by going into the settings and disabling the Edge screen; so all the features of the Edge screen, I just don't use now. No big deal I suppose, but that was very disappointing for me. I have not owned the phone long enough to know if this can be disabled or not, but some things that annoy me are the insistence that I set up Samsung Pay, or connect to DirectTV. I do not want to use either of these features. Lastly, while the navigation features are great and deserving of some respect, I just wish there was a quicker way to quit out your open applications than having to go into settings, scroll around to apps, go to app manager, click on app, and Force Quit. My last phone was able to quit out and switch through apps with a double-click of your home button.
Now that the things I didn't like about the phone are out of the way, I can talk about what I do like about Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. One of my favourite features is of course the huge screen. I didn't think I would like something so big and clunky, but the Edge isn't clunky at all, and the screen is quite nice, and bright. It fits nicely in my hand. The camera is also amazing! I haven't even had time to play with all of the "pro" features yet, but having so much control over it is a huge plus. I'm in awe of the size of the Android marketplace, there are so many apps and the fact that most available apps can cross-communicate with iOS users makes them worth getting, since not all of my friends and family use Android devices. I'm usually very frugal about my data and battery usage, and it's a relief to have options available to block background data from loading. I like that I can control how much data is used as well, and be able to see reports of how much data is used by each app. I never have problems with battery, but I'm also not the kind to dink around on my phone a whole lot, so the battery is usually still around 70% when I'm home from work. I can personalise my home screen, my dock, and the pull-down menu at the top of the screen, bringing all of my most-used applications within reach. This also makes it easy to turn my phone on mute or vibrate, or activate aeroplane mode if I need to save some battery. There are many more options and tools as well, like a flashlight and a lock-profile/auto-rotate mode. I like the new "always on" mode. Sometimes you just want to know what time it is, no buttons necessary.
Overall, I love the phone so far. It's more beginner friendly than I expected, but does require a little know-how if you want to really get it to work the way you want it.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, great personalisation
