The phone first and foremost is gorgeous. A bit more sturdy feeling without drawing away from the appearance. All the goodies that come with android and access to VR with actually good quality. Ultra power saver mode makes me feel like I'm looking at a Mr game and watch menu which is hilarious. Battery life is about two days in use and and almost a week in ultra power saver. I positively love this phone, a whole new world of computer in your pocket.
Cons: can't really think of a negative to this phone
I would recommend this to a friend!

I feel the hardware is good. The battery is sub-par, which is not entirely Samsung's fault but Android on a whole. My battery depletes about 2-4% every ten minutes even if the display is off, i'm not using it, and battery saver is on with no apps running in the background. I find that unacceptable. Something has to be done with android and figure out why the battery life is horrible especially with such a large capacity battery.
The design of the Samsung software is too bloated. They need to stick with a slicker layout and less bloatware. Try offering a stock android version and I'm sure you'll sell a lot more.
I believe that there should be a simple layout but option to customize. could use customizable LED notification light without using third party software.
I think there should be a toggle switch similar to the iphone's mute toggle. The android volume controls are too clunky, i'd like the option to mute all and turn it to vibrate only with the flip of a switch and not needing to touch the screen or even turn it on.
Pros: Durable, pulse ox
Cons: Did not meet expectations, battery life, clunky android software
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The only thing that bothers me about my S7 is that the memory card option wasn't set up for AT&T to be able to expand the onboard memory for operation. I have a large MicroSD card that's also fast and can't get any real use out of it.
