I've had the S7 Edge for about a week, and so far it's been great. I love the new edge software features, the fingerprint scanner is quick and accurate, camera is gorgeous, and it looks amazing. If you want a stylish, quick, and functional phone, this is the one for you. Additionally, the size is perfect! For a 5.5" screen, it's very comfortable to hold.
However, be wary. You are going to spend a lot of money on this phone, and if you have even a MINOR drop, the screen is done. Just done. My phone slipped out of my pocket, fell one foot onto a wood floor, and now I have to get a replacement through insurance. As insult to injury, I ordered a case from Samsung, but it was put on a (currently indefinite) backorder. It's great when you can't even order a case for the most delicate phone Samsung has ever produced!
In summary, if you want a great looking, quick, and cutting edge phone, get it if you're careful or have deep pockets. If you are even remotely accident prone, avoid this at all costs, or leave it at home until you get an Otterbox minimum. It's just not worth the risk otherwise, and I'm hoping my backorder case comes in by the time my insurance replacement is issued.
I left android phones several years ago but this is the phone that brought me back. I like everything about it especially the screen. The design of this device is by the far the best of anything in the market, I'm so glad I decided to get it, oh and the expandable memory makes it by far the market front-runner!
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Performance chug, overly sensitive edge

When downloading updates in the background, running applications seem to stutter and lock up occasionally. The phone also gets hot with prolonged usage.
In addition, the edges are overly sensitive. It's difficult to hold and not mistakenly touch the sides, potentially pressing something unintended.
It's a beautiful phone though, and the features are nice. Typing is easy, and when you're doing one thing at a time, it works smoothly. I think the edge issue will be resolved with some sort of case that will give my hand and slight buffer from the glass.
Cons: Did not meet expectations, performance when multitasking, overly sensitive edge
I would recommend this to a friend!

Had the S5 before I got the S7

I feel the this device has been excellent for me. The upgrade from the S5 to the S7 is very noticeable. If you have the S6, you might not notice it.as easily. The performance on this phone is amazing! I really love that they decided to bring back the expandable SD slot and water resistant features. You can really notice the difference in the camera especially in low light environments. Overall I love the device and I would definitely recommend this product
First of all this phone feels great in the hand. It is so smooth! The performance is out of this world. I'm totally in love. I've had Samsung phones since the original Galaxy :)
Work has a tendency to drain a battery while the phone is trying to location a signal. Also most phones do not connect in the building. This phone does not use that much battery looking - as it does connect. Great connection and great battery! Loving my new phone!!!
Pros: Bright display, great battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!
