excited to begin using me new S7

I've just purchased my new S7, and cannot wait to begin the journey...sleek, and sexy, and water resistant...perfect for rainy day pics in the garden...
Got S7 instead of S6 as I was told it's water/scratch resistant. It's not. It also heats up. The screen is brighter than my old S4, but still lacking brightness in sunlight. The sound is good but not loud enough for playing videos without headphones, and the volume message when my car's Bluetooth connects is extremely annoying. Too expensive for what it is.
Pros: Realistic color, Lightweight, Built-in speakers, camera
Cons: Poor quality, not loud or bright enough, not scratch resistant, overheats, too expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung S7

I have always been happy when using, samsung product's. The ( s7 ) is just a great phone , with a great design.
Extremely fast , and productive. Best camera on a smartphone. Can't beat the water resistance, and looks great. Was easy to set up, and love the way it performs. Did I mention that it looks great. Also, with the added SD card slot, Samsung has a winer.
I love my Samsung Edge 7. I went from a LG to My Edge and It is Amazing. I was like what is the big deal it is a phone.. but, the speakers are loud and you can add extra volume when in a noisy area. No one has a problem hearing me when on Speaker phone. The display is bright and readable. And the Edge Feature is So handy it brings my frequently used contacts, apps and the news right at my fingertips. Wonderful feature. Easy to learn also. Great phone.
Disclaimer, I was a Note 7 user until I had to turn it in because of the recall. I had decided to get the S7 edge, as quite a few other people I knew had one. My plan was to trade back to the Note 7 once the problems were fixed. However, after using the device for more than a few weeks, I may wind up not changing.
Performance wise, the S7 edge definitely uses it's Snapdragon processor well. It's quick to respond and only suffers from normal low signal, low connection lag that almost all smartphones deal with.
The edge takes some getting used to, and while it's not as comfortable to hold sans case (IMO) it is a great design that, with a little extra holdable (and not touch sensitive) space care of a small profile case, is very comfortable to use.
Call quality is good, screen quality is very good.
Some of the samsung software is useless to me, but overall the "bloatware" is minimal and the samsung apps (like edge buttons) are actually functional if you find them useful.
Samsung pay is a great choice if you're not beholden to Android pay already. I do miss, from the Note7, the ability to swipe from the bottom of the screen to access Samsung pay, but this is far from a deal breaker.
Overall, this is a great phone. Time will tell if I wind up going back to the Note 7, but other than a few specific items only available on the Note 7 (AOD notifications for example), this phone is a perfect daily driver for someone used to maximium tech usage on the go.
