My son and I took the S5 on our AT thru hike last year. We took two batteries. The S5 was okay but it didn't hold charges for a long time (3-5 days between town stops). This phone has great power usage. It was more expensive than other phones I considered but I think it will be worth it. The sound is improved as well as the display. The Samsung is lighter than other options I considered as well.
I put a screen protector on mine and now the sensitivity of the touch screen has lowered. The "screen sensitivity" option is not a part of the settings on this phone as it was with the s5. The s5 had more options than the s7. I believe this phone is just filled bells and whistles to make people go "ooo" and "aaaah" over to compensate for how bad it really is. I would not recommend this product to anyone.
Pros: Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations, heavy, no sensitivity settings for touch screen.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sleek and powerful. This phone does everything I've come to expect from Samsung Galaxy. Thankso for bringing back removable memory.
I've had a Galaxy S4 and a Galaxy S6 before this phone and always loved them. But this, by far is the best. The curved edges on the back of the phone make for a sleek feel. The camera is great and super fast. Great features, looks, and performance. 5 stars all around. Another great product from Samsung!!!
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Galaxy s7

I have been a huge Galaxy fan for years, I've owned several Galaxy devices (s3, s5 active and now the s7). The Galaxy S7 runs super fast. I was so surprised at how fast the processor was. Apps download in seconds! The design is amazing. I absolutely love the look and feel of this phone. I was torn between getting the S7 and S7Edge. I ultimately chose the S7 because I liked the sleek look. Don't get me wrong the Edge's design is great as well I just wanted a smaller phone. The pictures I have taken with this phone look amazing! Crystal clear picture no matter what I am viewing. The graphics are amazing as well. I just love everything about this phone. I am so glad that it has expandable memory although I have yet to even need it and I've downloaded tons of apps and have taken plenty of pictures. I would recommend this phone to anyone looking to get an upgrade. This phone is truly the best phone I have seen by far.
