A Nice Upgrade

So I'm coming from a Galaxy S4, for reference, so while I can't give you an account for the gap between the S6 and the S7, I can at least tell you how much of a leap up this phone is from the S4.
First thing I noticed right off the bat was the curved back that fits more ergonomically into my palm, which is definitely more comfortable than the S4 sharper edges. The fingerprint scanner on the HOME button is a nice little novelty that, while making it quicker to unlock my phone, is still annoying when attempting to position my thumb just so, so I'm glad that I can keep my old pattern as a backup.
The bigger screen becomes most noticeable when playing some of my older games. It's obvious that these games have to be stretched to accommodate this different screen resolution, but I'm sure they'll patch that in soon. These are things to be expected from a phone that was just recently released. Speaking of that subject, I noticed a few other minor bugs that fit that category, including not being able to post text in Facebook Messenger without opening it through the Facebook app, weird.
I am so grateful for the boost in storage space and general performance compared to the S4. Even without an SD card, all my music and apps don't feel too cramped yet. Though, be sure I'm going to be using the heck out of the expandable storage once I get my hands on a decent sized microSD.
Overall, this phone is definitely a worthwhile upgrade if you've still got a phone from 2+ years back. Don't go for the S6, either. The price you'd have to splurge just for a more accommodating 64 GB size is about the same as the S7 anyways, and that expandable storage is definitely worth the money.
I went from an S5 to the S7 and I LOVE the phone! It's so nice to hold, the touch screen is so responsive! I've has all phones of the Galaxy serious except the 6 and I'm glad I waited for the S7. My other favorite was the S2. I hadn't been too excited over the S3,4 or 5 but the S7 has impressed me the most. The one thing I would love to see eventually with the Galaxy serious, is something with the power as the 7 but smaller.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable
Cons: Too big

I'm a loyal Samsung fan I've had most of the Galaxy series over the years. I owned all of the Notes and each one got better and better. I decided to go with the S7 Edge this year after doing my due diligence and I'm very satisfied with my decision. Now that expandable memory is back the design is flawless, the S7 Edge is a well put together device and you feel it right away in your hand. The resolution is amazing per usual but continues to improve every year. The camera is hands down the best I've ever seen on a smartphone and even is competitive with some of the lower end SLRs. All of the features are intuitive and user friendly, and the battery life is best yet for a Samsung. I love this phone on every level and I highly recommend it, you will be very impressed with the capabilities and limitless possibilities.
I upgraded from a Note 4 to the S7 Edge and WOW, am I glad I did. I love my Samsung phones but this is one of the best phones I have ever owned and used. I have previously owned the above phones and also an S3.
Me and my wife are also proud owners of 2 Samsung Galaxy Tab2's. Love them, love them.
Samsung, you did it again.
Keep up the great work and you have a customer for life here in Michigan.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight

I love my S7 Edge! I am definitely not a very tech savvy person. I love how easily I learned to use this phone. The features are awesome, settings are easily accessible, apps are abundant and run smoothly. The battery life is phenomenal! I get two full days on a charge and I play games and stream video. Can't say enough about my Samsung S7 Edge!!!
Pros: Durable, Lightweight, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

A real step up for me....

I came from a SS-GS5. My primary reason was to seek out a phone with better battery performance. There is so much to like about this phone...just improved technology all around than the SS-GS5. Much better power management, higher resolution display and 100% rock solid fingerprint reader and better camera. And what I get that I didn't have before is wireless charging and Samsung Pay. I have yet to run the battery down below 50% by the end of the day.
My only complaint is that the phone is a slippery hold...you really need a case to provide some grip or this thing is going to eventually kiss the floor.
Pros: Bright display, long lasting battery, excellent fingerprint reader
