This phone exceeded my already high expectations. I have been a Samsung fan for years and this phone is the best thing they have come out with. It is very well constructed and runs extremely smoothly. The screen looks beautiful and the battery life is absolutely incredible. It only dropped to 40% after 18 hours with the brightness all the way up using it every 20 min or so for 5-10 min playing games and checking social media. I have the silver which I highly recommended. Very pretty phone. Keep it up Samsung, I can get a new phone in 12 months. Hope the next phone (S8 or Note 6) is even better!!
The s7 is a huge improvement to the s6 and I like it much better than the iphones. My biggest complaint so far is in trying to get a quality screen protector. I like HD, Ballistic glass protectors but they are not made to cover the whole screen due to the excessive curvature in the phone's glass. This really bugs me.
Pros: Bright display
Cons: curved glass prevents the use of quality screen pr, protectors
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight

After using the newest galaxy s7, I am very pleased with the upgrades and improvements on the already well designed galaxy phones. The information transfer from my old galaxy to the s7 was fast and simple, only 30 minutes for me to complete. The speed and clarity make up the ideal candidate for anyone who wants to combine a camera, a computer and a phone. Very fast camera abilities with awesome clarity. Running multiple apps is even better and faster. The sound of the speaker has even changed for the better. I am very satisfied so far, with almost 1 month of usage.
Cons: it could be a thinner profile in the future.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Finally a diamond from coal!

If you are at all familiar with the Galaxy S6 series, you would certainly be inclined to say that, though drastically improved, still left a desire for something more. The Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, filled the gaps that brought home the product for me.
Two major features that were thrown to the wayside when the S6 was released, expandable memory and water resistance, have been re-introduced and in a refined manner. The slim and sleek design of the S7 and S7 edge, do what none other has accomplished; making a beautiful device water resistant. The addition of expandable memory is a return to what Samsung has offered us for so long that set it apart from the iPhone. I feel that they truly listened to their customer base on this one, and delivered on an extraordinary level. Finally, I can have a premium device and the memory expansion that I need for total control of my experience.
A slightly surprising adjustment to the device is the new camera. At just 12 megapixels, I presumed the device would underwhelming the previous experience with the 16 megapixel cameras I've grown accustomed to. However, the redesigned pixel use and processor has continued to impress me under any lighting situation. From low light to bright sun, the camera continues to deliver extraordinary photos for those moments when you want to preserve time itself. And adding a nice touch, Samsung diminished the bevel almost completely to provide the thinnest device possible. The front facing camera is a very nice camera adding the capability for video calling which was added directly to the dial pad interface. A surprising touch.
Battery life on this thing, as is the case with most android devices, is adequate at best. It gets you by for a day but better have a charging cable handy just in case. Samsung, has the best solution for battery woes however, in the name of power saving and ultra power saving modes. Turn on the switch and easily extend battery life by hours or even days. The only trade off is active sync.
All in all, these devices are power houses to say the least. They have far surpassed the expectations that I have set forth for them and then some. The expanded capability of the edge functions make the edge more than just a fashion piece but a practical tool. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend these devices to anyone.
Pros: Bright display, amazing camera
Cons: battery life.
