I definitely love my new phone. It's taking me a while to figure it all out though. I switched over from the iPhone, which was very intuitive, and I'm finding the Galaxy to be not entirely user-friendly. I'm young and I've used a lot of different products, so I can pretty much figure out how to use technology, but I'm really having to read through a lot of the help sections and Googling different things to get the hang of the Galaxy. I want to recommend it to my parents, but I can't imagine how frustrated they'd get, trying to get used to the system. I love all the features, but I wish there was a manual that came with it!!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable
Cons: complicated system
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice S6 upgrade
on September 14, 2016
Posted by: musicislife22178
I had the Galaxy S6 and had the chance to upgrade to the S7. I'm very glad I did. The phone is faster, has a better screen and takes great pictures. I also noticed a few things in which the 2 phones differ:
1. The battery on my S6 used to get hot. That's not the case with the S7, even when using the quick charge.
2. I find the screen rotation so much better on the S7. With the S6 it would take a few shakes to get the screen to rotate. Sometimes I even checked to make sure the feature was turned on.
3. Battery life is better on the S7
Overall a great phone. Haven't tried it with the Samsung Gear.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable

Great phone

I just came from an iPhone 6 Plus. At first I didn't like the fact that the S7 edge felt so small in my normal sized hands. But now I'm getting used to it. It's very fast, great camera and I absolutely love the fact that I now have a 64 gig sd card along with 32 gig internal memory. My 6plus was only 16 gigs and I was forced twice to delete contents. The battery life is not bad but since I've owned several android it's a chore to make sure the background apps are always off or the battery will drain very quickly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great phone. I really like the design and how well it fits in your hand. very lightweight and qualitiy is amazing
It's a beautiful phone. The screen pops because of the edge design. Samsung goes out of its way to help you, and make sure you understand how to use it.
Galaxy s7 edge is an absolute masterpiece. Similar to the edge 6 plus, however phone s7 fits better in your hand and is not as slippery as the s6 edge plus. This phone in my mind is perfection. A true flagship phone and a Samsung masterpiece.
September 14th, 2016 First off I want to say that I got this phone because I am waiting for the revised Note 7 without the battery problem. If I had I choice I would never get the Galaxy S series because I'm loyal to the Note Series.
Pros - Beautiful and Sleek - IP68 - The Camera is awesome! - unbeatable screen even the IPhone 7 got nothing on it. - Snapdragon 820 is a beast! - Always on display. Really useful. - Way better implementation of the fingerprint scanner compared to the Note 4. - Micro SD expansion
Cons - the edges are way to annoying compared to the Note 7s more refined edges. - The speaker is not as loud compared to the Note 7 - non removable battery - Allowed Verizon to add Bloatware! Follow Apple's example. - Not type-C. I don't understand why Samsung didn't put type-C on the S Series and added it to the Note 7. I think it's pretty unfair to your customers, doing that just to make an extra coin.
