This Samsung Galaxy 7 phone is very light weight and great design. The only negative is battery life. I have to charge it at least twice a day because it doesn't hold a charge for even 24hrs. Very disappointed with the battery life. I've read and tried everything suggested. I wouldn't mind needing to charge it once a day but not several times a day with normal usage isn't acceptable. The setting is on power save mode.
I have owned various Samsung phones over the years, this is THE WORST product ever offered. You can not hold the phone without touching all the side nonsense. You are unable to text without one of the side items opening and taking you somewhere else all together. I turned off the side capabilities and the keyboard still isn't right. I'm not sure if it's a different set up than the Note or if it's a sensing issue but it's terrible. Also, the battery does NOT stay charged more than an hour and a half. I am not sure why but I assume it has something to do with all the side things but it ate thru my alloted data unimaginably fast. I would not only not recommend to a friend I wouldn't recommend to an enemy.
Pros: camera is awesome
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, very slick expect to drop it a lot
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Fast and responsive. Sad that it is not as big as my old Samsung, but it's my fault for not checking size when I bought it online. It's a little hard to find the widgets section, but that's more of an Android thing than a Samsung thing. It does seem to have some problems with GPS/Location services. I haven't figured out why it thinks GPS is off even when I have it turned on in settings. Charges MUCH quicker than my old phone.
Pros: Realistic color, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: gps/location services doesn't seem to work
I would recommend this to a friend!

Outstanding Phone

This phone is truly amazing! If you make the switch from iPhone to Samsung you won't be disappointed. The design is very nice and features good. The battery life is excellent. 1-10, I'll give this phone a 10!
Recently left an iPhone for the new Samsung, and no regrets! This phone is way easier to use than the iPhone's sometimes cluttered interface. The style is great plus it feels like it was designed specifically for my hand. Paired with the Gear S2, the Samsung really out shines all competition.
There were problems with the battery. After charging the battery, the battery would automatically lose 2% of energy without me doing anything. It became a nuisance. The screen was great. I loved it. But the battery was the key factor of returning the phone and going back to my iPhone.
Note: I love their tablets. Broke the screen and planning to get another one.
Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, battery
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

its the best galaxy so. Far goes great with virtual reality. Love the color
I have been using Galaxy Notes since the first one. I was not sure to go to the S series since I used to love the S-Pen. But I broke my las note, so had to upgrade but decided for the S7 Edge, amazing phone, fast, responsive, simply love it!!! specially the edge menu.
