I upgraded from a S6 Edge to the S7 Edge, and I'm so glad I did! This phone is great, and the little things I don't like about the phone are exactly that, little things.
What I like: -great battery life!!! Omg, I can go the whole day without needing to charge! With my old S6 Edge, that was a huge issue, I had to charge it mid day, sometimes even twice a day! The new S7 Edge's battery life is great, even with playing games I can go most of the day without having to charge it. -display is gorgeous...but the S6 Edge's display is also just as beautiful so not really an upgrade on that front, but just as good. -the design on the S7 Edgeis more polished than the S6 Edge. The metal around the screen on the S6 edge stuck out more, I want to say it was sharper? But on the S7 Edge it's more rounded and feels more flush with the glass screen. A definite plus! -new edge features are great, it's a small update, and the update will probably end up getting to the S6 Edge. The added options of more apps and more feeds is good. -expandable memory...yes, definitely a plus. -oh, and the AOD (always on display) is a great feature! I love to just be able to take a glance of my phone as I'm passing it to see what the time is and if I had any missed calls or texts, very nice. -and all the new features with Android Marshmallow are great. I'm sure I'm missing a bunch more things I love about this phone, but those are the main things...now some things that are just me being picky...
-the camera is great, but it was also great on the S6 Edge...I know "technically" it's supposed to be a better camera...let's more light in...better in low light...BUT in all honesty I can't tell much difference in picture quality compared to the S6 Edge. -the edge screen is more sensitive. I find when I text, my hand will accidentally hit letters that are along the outer edge. I didn't have this problem with my S6 Edge, so thinking the edge screen is just more sensitive on the S7 Edge.
Hope this helps anyone considering the S7 Edge...I enjoy the phone!
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display

Great phone, horrendous (almost comical) battery life.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 is an awesome phone and I absolutely love it...when it's not dead. Seriously, for all the great features this device has, I am greatly disappointed that Samsung did not support it with at least reasonable battery life. No wonder they need the fast charging feature!
That trademark Samsung "delay" when navigating around the OS is ever-present. I come to expect that at this point, though, so no big deal.
Also, it would be nice to have all notifications turned off out of the box so the user can choose which apps to receive notifications from rather than being spammed with hundreds of notifications when turning on the phone for the first time. The phone works great after hours of tweaking ridiculous, impractical out-of-the-box settings. Having spent the time, I now love the phone.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable
Cons: extremely short battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!

The quality is what you expect from Samsung-Excellent! The price is right, even a bargain for what you get with this phone. It is easy for the not so tech savvy to use as well as packed with fun techie gadgets for the tech guru to be satisfied.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, great standard apps come with phone
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is the BEST Galaxy yet! It's got all the features of previous models that you loved and none of the stuff that made me disappointed with the s6. I especially love the low light camera and the sd card slot. It's the best of the best so far. I give it 4 stars because I'm order to get 5, I've got to have zero complaints. My only complaint is the speaker. It's in such an awkward place. I find that I'm often covering it up accidentally with the way I hold my phone when I'm gaming or watching videos. Well, that and the fact that some apps weren't pre-installed, forcing users to use Samsung/Google Apps for certain things like the music player.
