I am a big fan of all Samsung phones but I have seen huge improvement with Samsung Galaxy s7. It is faster, sleeker and more elegant than ever. Battery life is really good. I love the improved camera features. It is super sturdy as well plus I love that it is water resistant. Finally, it is a really great upgrade.
I miss the IR hardware that let me control my tv. The waterproof feature is nice. I don't like that it's advertised as being able to wirelessly charge, but the wireless charger is sold separately. I ordered my phone early, bought it on the release date, and filed the Gear VR offer, but according to my claim status, I'm not eligible for the watch... still haven't heard about the oculus bundle. I'm more excited about my S4 than this phone.
Pros: none
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is an incredible phone. Battery life is between 4 and 6 hours of screen on time whI checked these days is pretty fantastic. Performance isn't an issue with the snapdragon 820 and 4gb of RAM. Micro SD is a nice touch since it only comes stock with 32gb. The gold silver color is very subtle and high end looking. Fingerprints are a given with the glass and I would recommend a screen protector but it would cover up the great looks. My only real complaint is palm detection on the edges. I tend to press things on accident when holding it and it's a bit frustrating. Word is there is ano update inbound for better detection.
Pros: Bright display, great battery, big screen in smaller form factor
Cons: palm detection on edges of phone.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love this phone. Great camera, great feel, great features, what's not to like? Battery life is great too!
Between various jobs and what not I have used dozens of different phones. A few years ago I got the original samsung galaxy s1 and have only use the galaxy phones since.
I could drone on for hours about the features of this phone but in all honesty what you need to know about this phone is it is simply the best device ever made for android. Everything works wonderfully and the camera is bar none the best ever put on a phone. The build quality is immaculate and the style is awe inspiring
