The greatest samsung phone I have had to date.

I just purchased the S7 Edge, I love this phone. It is very light, love that I no longer had to get the Active versions to have the waterproof feature. I am a clutz so the Actives were great, now I can have a more stylish phone with some of the qualities from the Active versions.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: don't get the silver one if you hate fingerprints
I would recommend this to a friend!

One of the best phones ever
on March 15, 2016
Posted by: amfinkel
I have been an iOS/iPhone user for years. I decided to switch because I am a technology enthusiast and I wanted something new. This phone competes very well with my previous iPhone 6s. Excellent design, battery, software, speed, camera, etc. I would say that over all the phones are VERY similar, it is mostly just a preference of software and a few smaller advantages/disadvantages.
Advantages compared to iPhone 6s:
-Battery life
-Design (feels better in hand)
-Display quality
-Waterproof
-More customizable software

-Better camera in most conditions
-Faster TouchID

Great new features

The phone works great out of the box, and after spending some time digging through the settings, I find it easy to find what I need, and what all the features do. The ability to capture screenshots from webpages, and continue capturing for that uninterrupted effect, is a great plus. Camera quality is fantastic, and a definite step up from my S4 Mini(even though, I'll be honest, the mini as a whole was pretty great too). Chose this over the S7 Edge because I prefer to not have those curved screen edges. Gonna take some getting used to in terms of size, and still slightly miffed that the background wallpaper isn't scrollable anymore(yes, still). Has included face chat feature for those who also have an S7. So if you know a bunch of friends who didnt' jump onboard the iPhone bandwagon, or are looking to switch, but held off due to the facetime, this has got ya covered. Expandable memory up to 200GB, but you'll have to wait to get home to upgrade since it requires a special tool(comes with it) to access the memory slot. Non removable battery is another feature, but not sure if I'm happy about that just yet. Time will tell. Yes, it's also pretty smudgy, but that's what cases are for.
Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: Too big, smudges
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, always on display
Cons: none

Only thing I miss is not being able to FaceTime my wife and kids while I travel. Using Skype for the time being, but would love to see that feature added between the two companies (if they can)

mostly like - Except a few minor things that are irratating to me.

I mostly like the new S7 - except for a few minor things, but I am not sure if its because its a Verizon feature or a Samsung feature, because I haven't found it on either website yet when researching the phone..
I don't like that I am not able to change the Ugly icons and size of them. I can’t find the keyboard speech to text and it makes me record and immediately sends w/out letting me check it first.(plus I don't like my voice on it). I'm not crazy about the "canned tones" and what a pain it is to set up news ones in the folder and when you do it resets EVERTHING you already had set, including the Alarm tones. I don't particularly care for the fact that although it is Technically a 32gb phone, before I even get it they use right at 10gb to just load phone stuff & most of that irritates me as their default and it takes an act of congress to change or get around. (kind of wish they would let me common sense test it before they sold them). there are a few more things that bug me but I will eventually either get over it or just never use that function. .... and if you have to download an app to fix stuff they usually ask for too many permissions... that really irritates me. OH and the mini tray with the sim card and the memory card slot., heaven forbid you open it and it flies off somewhere cause the tiny cards don't sit in the tray well and like to move around and fly off places. That really wasn’t thought through well, you almost need tweezers to handle it.
As for the Pro side - I like the vibrancy of the screen. the thumbprint lock/unlock ability, the sound and so far the camera. Honestly for the sum total...I really miss a lot of features that my S3 had, but am hopeful I can work the kinks out of the S7 and grow to love it.

Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers, battery works better than my s3
Cons: Did not meet expectations, too persnickety, needs to be more durable & shatterproof., the tray with the, sim card & mem card tray should be separate, sim card tray when opend card flys out
