Since I'm not allowed to mention any info about other companies I'm just going say I was frustrated, tired, and just plain bored with the phones that a company that shares it's name with a certain fruit has been providing. I wanted a change and I wanted to be able to make changes which the fruit company would never ever allow. Just the little things like changing themes and fonts and colors was so liberating. I loved it right from the start.
The reason I put only four stars in performance is because when I play certain games I notice a bit of lag and hesitation. It doesn't last the whole time, just the first part of the game - less than a minute. Just something I notice every time though.
So if you are one of those people that are thinking of making the change to something new, innovative, and actually customizable then I say DO IT!
Pros: Bright display, superior photos
Cons: slight lag
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best phone I've ever owned!

This new S7 is so user friendly and easy to use. I can't believe I was still using that old S4! There so many new features and everything responds so well. I love it!
Upgraded from the Galaxy s5 to the s7, and i would have to say it was the best move i can do. It has such a beautiful display and the volume sounds amazing. Battery life has improved alot. i would recommend this phone for everyone.
Having owned previous Samsung phones, I have never been dissatisfied. S3, s5, and now the s7. If you enjoy taking photos the new features are great for low light settings. I also love the fingerprint reader for unlocking the phone and any apps that you want to.
A little too small for my taste and a little hard to handle with the dual edge. The single edge design was better in my view. A lot of accidental screen touches occur and when trying to open up an app near the edge you often get the edge tab to open instead causing frustration. When the security update came down shortly after purchase it caused my wi-fi to quit working costing me extra data until I eventually had to do a hard reset after talking to AT&T support and Samsung support which was an extra pain since I had just installed everything and had just got going. It fixed the problem initially but started to fail again so I reset network settings and that did the trick for now. We'll see...
Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers, Lightweight, cool clock feature on edge while screen asleep
Cons: Did not meet expectations

This phone is by far the best that I have had the pleasure of using. The size may be off putting to some initially, but with the display scaling feature and the ability to resize the keyboard, this issue quickly fades away. The display is also stunning; 4k videos look absolutely great on this phone.
Pros: Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: slippery
