My new Galaxy S7 is phenomenal! The low light photography for me is the key feature. It is amazing! I also love the ability to fast charge as well as it wirelessly charge my phone. My S5 Active I was able to utilize why i rambunctiously lived life with its waterproofness and I'm glad this phone has that as well. My call Quality and speed of processing while using it is much more increased from my old phone and I wouldn't give this thing up!
Cons: wish it had the larger battery like the edge
I would recommend this to a friend!

When I woke up i was set on getting the note 5. Then was swayed into the s7 edge for its expandable storage. And since then I've been experiencing a truly amazing life remote. On top of all of its amazing features samsung itself still continues to impress me there constantly giving away things to those who support them. Keep up the great work!
Pros: Durable
Cons: got rid of the ir blaster
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great, but missing some things.

I love just about everything about this device, but I do have gripes about the fact that Samsung decided to leave out Quick Charge 3.0 just because Exynos chips don't support it. There's no reason to cripple the devices that can use it. Either that or let us have replaceable batteries (I would prefer QC3.0).
I also wish they kept the IR blaster but I'm not as worried about that. Everything else about the device is fantastic except the locked bootloader. If you don't plan to root your next device I would absolutely recommend it. To be honest, I'd probably recommend it over root able device anyway, it's so good.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, very fast, water resistant, great features
Cons: no quick charge 3, no ir blaster, no removable battery
I would recommend this to a friend!

This phone is great for anyone who runs multiple apps at the same time. Seamlessly switch between apps and multitask your multiple tasks. The battery last me all day on a single charge at night. Five stars all the way, keep it up.
I really wanted to like the phone. But it wasn't for me coming from a note to the regular galaxy line was made thingsome cumbersome. My wife loved it. But I opted to go back to the note for ita larger display and it's most awesome s pen.
Definitely a step-up from previous Galaxies, wireless charging issues

Not overly large screen a benefit, easy to hold on to. Great display and quick response. IP68 rating is a huge bonus and benefit. Great camera, love the use of Android 6. Samsung brought back the MicroSD card, awesome. Definitely a huge plus. Small issue with wireless fast charge no longer working. Suspect an Android update or some other software update issue that disabled wireless fast charge from working exactly right, tested on two (2) different fast charge wireless charges, same result. regular wireless charging still nice and good to use, just no notification that 'fast charging' is happening. Fastest charge done via cord of course.
Just got this phone 2 weeks ago, upgrade from my S5. Skipped the s6 because of the loss of the sd card, so glad they added it back to this phone. Still learning all the new features but totally love it! This phone is slightly smaller than my s5 but packs way more power and performance into this little package.
Had the phone a couple weeks and so far so good. I switched from an iPhone 5s and don't regret it. The screen is incredible! Previously I found myself avoiding my iPhone to cruise the web but now I find myself using my S7 edge quite often. Switching to the android platform is the hardest adjustment.
Also the size is the hardest issue to get used to and it is built for two-handed typing but does offer a setting for more one-handed typing that I have not tried yet.
