I just upgraded from a Galaxy S5 to a Galaxy S7. I have had the Galaxy S III and the Galaxy S 4 also. I have a Galaxy tablet, Samsung Gear Circle, Gear Fit, and the Galaxy S2 on the way. I love how all my Galaxy devices work together in a harmonious manner. I am so happy that I upgraded from the S5 to the S7. The fingerprint scanner so great on the S5 but works even better on the S7. Instead of sliding your finger across the button all you have to do is gently leave it there and the F7 reads it perfectly. It's such a great way for me to password protect my phone with ease. The S7 has a longer battery life comma higher screen resolution and I can't even express how Magnificent the pictures are that I'm taking. The quality of the pictures is worth it alone. I received my wireless charger in the mail yesterday. My Galaxy S7 charged wirelessly all night and I loved it. It was so easy just to set my device down and allow it to charge instead of having to fumble with cords in the dark. I personally did not want the Galaxy S6 because I prefer to have expandable memory in my phone. I'm a person that uses a lot of memory. I love that the internal memory of the Galaxy S7 is 32 gigabytes and I can still put up to 128 gigabyte SD card in it. The gold is a very Sleek color and suits me well. The back does not remove off of this phone which I find a bonus also. It keeps it safe from water damage. It's got this neat little tray on the top that you can slide your SD card and SIM card into. The size of the phone is perfect. About the same size as the Galaxy S5. I think the Galaxy Notes and such phones are a little too large because they won't fit in my pocket nicely but this phone is still large enough to view media search the web and whatever else I need to do with it. I can't find a negative with this phone. It was worth every penny and I say it again. I will continue to stay loyal to Galaxy devices.
I have owned a galaxy for the past four years, this is the best version of a Galaxy I have ever experienced. I am a professional, so all my use is professional, no games, and I am a power user I run six email addresses and three Google accounts off of the S7. The phone is smooth and I have experienced no lag with all that data management. I frequently used my device for presentations and again, no lag. The battery is great, I take it off the charger at 6am and return it to the charger at 11pm, the battery will be around 18% when I place it on the charger. All day I am browsing the Internet, checking and responding to email and while talking on the speaker phone most of the time. It is a great device, I highly recommend it.
The phone has been amazing. I switched from am IPhone and this phone gives me more freedom and is very snappy. Let's me organize things the way I want and givesee me widgets. S7 is hands down one of the best feeling phones when in hand. Audio comes out clear and water proofing has already saved me twice.
Cons: the back button and the tasks button are reversed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Having been a Samsung Galaxy user for the past few years (S3, S4, Note 3, Note 4) I must say, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is an innovative shift. As a former Note user, I must say I miss three items; the S-Pen, the IR Remote, and the size of the phone in my hand. The S7 Edge is often too small for comfortable one handed use (in my opinion). The readdition of the Micro SD card is a huge plus, along with the now integrated wireless charging. Also, I've paired it with the Samsung Gear S2 Classic and they work incredibly together. The finger print reader is an awesomely integrated security feature. The battery life is perfect for such a wonderful screen. Overall, the phone is amazing, but I keep reading for my S Pen. After using the note for the past two years, I believe when the next Note arrives, if available in Edge, I will surrender this phone to my wife. I don't need the features of the Edge, but the design is flawless and beautiful and actually makes the phone more easily navigatable without the need for apps on multiple pages. Oh, did I forget to mention Samsung Pay. This feature is the best digital pay feature available. Back on the S4, we had the ability to pay using the ill names IS*S app, but this pay feature works everywhere. I went to the dentist, the doctor, Walmart, Trader Joes, and a few more small stores and used the card without and issue and with my fingerprint. Flawless! I cannot do without this feature.
Granted, I upgraded from an s3 to the s7, but its processing speed is incredibly fast. The camera, as described, is amazing, with so many special features to play with, I'm unlikely to use most of them. I've been able to go all day (in the 12-17 hour range) before my battery needs recharging too. I think new phones are too expensive, but with all the added bonuses this time, I'm quite satisfied.
Oh, and I thought I'd hate the gold (only option available where I got mine), but it's a much nicer shade of gold than what I saw of the gold s5. :)
