Galaxy s7 edge best phone ever owned
on March 23, 2016

This phone is by far the best phone i have ever owned. I'm big on technology and every year I have to get the newest latest and greatest. Last year I went with note 4 instead of s6 only due to no expandable memory. I love this phone. This is the first edge phone I've owned. The edge takes some getting used to due to the way I hold it in my hand. With a case it actually made a huge difference. Samsung pay is amazing. The integrated contact option to take a picture of a business card works really well and makes it really easy. Everything about this phone is top of the line. I gave it four stars just due to the edge being touchy. I have already recommended this phone to everyone and will be buying my third for my brother. My wife is not a big techy but she as well loves this phone. She's big on taking pictures off the kids and loves the better updated camera. The bio-metric scanner is seamless. On the note 4 it would take 4 tries to unlock themail phone. The s7 first try to the point that I press the home button to check the time and it unlocks and opens the phone. It's amazing!!!!
It's expensive, and I know this has nothing to do with Samsung but I hate installment plans. The company I lease from makes it so installment plans are the only option. They don't let you have certain options unless you switch. I used to have unlimited data. But they made it slow and wouldn't let me upgrade until my two year contract was up. Again nothing to do with Samsung but it does affect the price only reason I brought it up.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: speakers sound blown out
I would recommend this to a friend!

BEYOND A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY!

I'm a Galaxy phone fanatic. This is my 5th one. I was going to get the S6 Edge, but was waiting for a great buy on other sites. As time went by, I started to read about a possible new Galaxy phone. Rumors abounded. I read something about it might be holographic. Samsung had or was getting certain patents. My mind went wild. A new phone in the making! I'm one of those people who loves the latest devices. So as more info became available, all thoughts of getting the S6 Edge disappeared. I was going to wait until the S7 Edge went on sale. Then the announcement came from Barcelona that we could pre-order phones on Feb. 23rd! And I did. So......
I love this phone! It's absolutely gorgeous! It's now my favorite Galaxy. After signing into my Google account, I was in awe of how much I could do with it. So after the usual setups (wifi, adding my apps, changing the keyboard), I got into.....
Fingerprints - you can have up to 4. It's very easy to do and use unlike the S5 which has a depressed home button making it difficult to use since I have long nails. The S7 Edge's home button is flatter; much easier for me to press. And it's a soft press.
Samsung Pay - another great option. Easy setup. The only problem with certain credit cards is their banks don't allow you to add to Samsung Pay. You'll know this when you try to add a particular card.
Battery - phone does last a good day's usage. Much better than the S5.
Camera - takes stunning and very detailed pictures. Options galore, plus you can download more when you're in the Mode section. I've included a photo of a tortoise so you can see the intricate details of her shell.
Internet - extremely responsive. Pages change in a flash. Of course this also depends on what modem and/or router you're using. If they're older models, you'll need to update.
Phone - log only shows phone calls. Text messages are no longer included in the log.
Text Messages - has a nice feature that allows you to put your favorite people in a row just above all text messages.
Sim & Memory Cards - these are kept in a little drawer that's in the top of the phone. A device comes with the phone to let you access this. Gently push pointed end of device into the extremely tiny hole until drawer pops open. Make sure cards are sitting flush before reinserting drawer back into phone. Otherwise you might damage a card.
I have only one big issue. With a phone like this, why only one speaker? There should be two stereo speakers. And the placement should be on the front, not at the bottom where your hand might cover it.
*Note: Some of these features might be available in the S6 Edge. Never having one, they're new to me coming from the S5. So I apologize if these features aren't new.
Well there's so much more that I could post. My advice is to go through all the Settings. Most of them have an explanation of its purpose so you can decide if you want to use it or not. This is one of the best features of the phone - giving you the information you need to best use your new Galaxy S7 Edge.
So if you want to go to a Galaxy far, far away, get the S7 Edge to take with you! May the Force be with you!

Great phone overall

I really do love this hardware. I feel like I'm from the future when I'm holding it. Unfortunately, I don't feel so futuristic when I'm using it. While many of the software features are great and the os is overall pretty stable, the lack of fluidity can be fairly jarring. Just today I had to restart the phone because it was exhibiting symptoms of a memory leak (extreme lag and then apps like the keyboard closing and restarting while using them). Also, the fluidity of animations leaves a little more polish desired. If Samsung were to just polish up the software a bit more I could comfortably say this is the best phone you can buy.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: software lag and memory management
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung is getting there... slowly

Having owned an S2 Skyrocket, S3, & S5 Active prior to my S7 Edge, I've been using Samsung phones for some time now. It's nice to see they listened to the consumers and brought back the SD card slot. Had they not, my S5 Active would probably have been my last Samsung. Now, if they would just listen to us and ditch TouchWiz and give us a more native Android Experiance, I'd be very happy.

I went from an iPhone back to galaxy. The expandable memory and water resitance were the biggest selling points. This phone is so much more durable and has wonderful features. I absolutely love the ease of use and the camera takes the best pictures.
Pros: Realistic color, Durable

Mighty tough...very elegant

I have to admit that coming from a Samsung note 3 to an edge S7 that I might sound too over zealous or biased. I have a cheap case waiting to buy a good case. I have dropped it a few times and I have to say it's a pretty tough phone. So that said the auto suggest in SMS has been really good since I slide at getting the words right. The glass edge for quick access has been pretty handy for camera use.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight

Not for gaming, slow performance after a minute of use.

Expertise:Beginner
After 2 weeks, I really miss my S6 edge. It was an excellent phone. The gaming performance of this phone is the best (for approximately 1 minute 20 seconds). After 2 minutes the frame rate is half that of my s6 edge. The in-game recording feature does not work well. If the performance of the phone stayed the same and the back camera of the phone was the same as the s6 edge, I would love this phone. The new camera on this phone takes square shaped photos instead of the wide screen ones all the other phones take. The low light photos do not come out that well on this phone.
Pros: Bright display, wireless charging
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, poor gaming performance
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
