I pride myself on having up to date technology and the phone I had before was just less than adequate. I needed to upgrade fast, finally my day ventures led me to the Verizon store....after jumping from electronic to electronic, I landed on this amazing device. From thalose moments I was stuck sold and refurbished for this product and my opinion of smartphones completely ascended. #ThankaSamsung

I have had Samsung phones before and have had issues with them. I needed to replace my IPhone and my son convinced me to try it again. I have to say I love this new phone. It's fast, it's dependable and the camera is fantastic! I have to take picture for products and with this camera, I have to do very little editing. The pictures are pretty much good to go.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hands down the best phone I've used in years. It does everything I need it to and more and is so easy to use. I have absolutely no complains about this phone.
I finally upgraded from my dumbphone (please don't laugh), and decided upon the Samsung Galaxy S7. I selected it for all the benefits over the alternatives: wireless charging, water resistance, OLED display, large battery, etc. It was an excellent choice.
I have been using this phone for about four months and have only plugged it in once. I wanted to test the fast charging capability as my battery was sitting at only 3% after a pretty busy day. It allowed the phone to charge by almost 90% in a little more than one hour, which is pretty crazy.
This phone has allowed me to join just as Pokemon Go was released and the location service is definitely taxing on the battery; however, the convenience of wireless charging as well as the fast charging capability allows you to keep going throughout the day.
The design of the S7 worried me. All the glass and the slightly curved front display made my decision more difficult than it really needed to be. The glass made me worry about its durability, so I was concerned until I was able to find a nice case as well as some kind of screen protector.
Lastly, the speaker was a bit of a concern as there is only one on the bottom which is easily covered by your thumb or finger. The sound isn't the greatest, but it's good enough and I can overlook it thanks to all the other benefits.
Finally, a bit of a rant... People don't seem to understand the glass on the front display is curved even though this is not the S7 Edge. Look closely at your phone. It's curved. The reason why the curved display is relevant is because I want to find a tempered glass screen protector and many of them either do not reach full edge-to-edge coverage or they create a "halo effect." Product reviews for Samsung Galaxy S7 accessories are surprisingly negative because consumers don't seem to know what's in their hands. It's frustrating. No fault to Samsung in that regard.
