I switched from the S6, so I'm not seeing anything drastically different than it is. But I was happy with the S6, so that means I'm happy with the S7. The best part to me is the fact that it has water resistance again.
This phone is very good so far. It does everything that I can do on my iPad and more since my iPad doesn't have the calling feature. This phone takes very clear and sharp pics too.
This new phone that I got is awesome! The battery lasts much longer than my old phone. It is easy to use, and was so easy to transfer files from old phone. So simple even I could do it!
Not the WOW phone I was hoping for but still good.

Coming in as a long term Note 3 & 4 user it took some time to get used to the S7's smaller screen but I'm growing attached. I wasn't sure I'd like the Gold option but it is quite a much more attractive phone in person. Display is awesome and the processor speed blows the Note 4 away.
It's difficult to rate it much higher than average because features are pretty much standard across the Android platform. I do love the ability to select multiple fingerprints instead of just one so I can operate one-handed with either hand.
The biggest downside to this particular phone is the inability to obtain a quality glass screen protector because the screen edges are curved too much for a protector to lay completely flat which makes it a great place to gather dust/dirt particles. Also too easy for the protector to peel off. For the couple out there that do lay flat, they are inset about 1/8" on both sides to avoid the curve. You can still see the screen fine but it's annoying and unattractive.
Overall I'd recommend this phone but get a good case that protects the screen too. And don't submerge it; even though they tout it being water resistant with fancy commercials, IF it gets wet inside, you're on the hook for any damage.
I went from the Samsung 4 (my husband's hand me down) to the S7 after my 4 died completely. Fortunately the cloud backup restored most of the features to the new phone and I just needed to add my apps (giving me an opportunity to pare the number down). I am truly enjoying the camera on the 7. It takes fantastic pictures that I can really be proud of. I like the fact that the phone is water resistant and not easily damaged when dropped. The phone has so many wonderfu l features that I am still discovering. I've teamed it up with the Samsung wireless charger and love how quickly it charges and how long the battery lasts.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable
Cons: haven't found one!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had several other phones before this one, I think this one out preforms all the other brands that I had. Easy to use, good graphics, and great features.
Pros: Realistic color, Durable
