I have had the Samsung s4,s5, s6, and the Note 5 and I have to say the s7 is by far the best phone Samsung has released yet! It has a beautiful display, the battery life is excellent, and it has a lightning fast processor!
I definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new phone.
Coming from an S4, I expected this to be good, and it is.

My upgrade has been long due, my S4 had became a sorry excuse for a smartphone, with the battery lasting less than an hour. I didn't get the S6 because of the lack of a MicroSD expansion slot. Finally when this released I was glad to see they added waterproofing, and MicroSD, alongside with the same design staying, and even more durable than last years. The performance on this is amazing. If you don't play many graphic intensive games, you won't see much reason for it, but all I have to say is "Wow!" it's almost too much, with games running on high at 1440p at solid frames. The battery too is excellent, and the addition of fast charging I was glad to see as well, for when you are in a hurry when you forget to charge it. The battery seems to drain very slowly while playing games too, something my S4 had problems with. Remembering when the S4 had it's bulky slow, almost Windows 95'esque Touchwiz Interface. The software doesn't try to be revolutionary on this, which to the matter of fact, it isn't. And that's the way it should be on a phone, no frills, just the basics. The themes, game manager, and other pre-installed apps are actually useful unlike the billions of pre-installed apps on the S4 (Amazon Apps) *Cough *Cough. Waterproofing is good, but I've yet to have a chance to see it in action. One downside, adoptable storage, which I would really like to see, since I have a 128Gb MicroSD card. The design on the phone is amazing, though, in a since it is last years design, which was also beautiful. There are some minor changes, smaller camera bump, and the phone is thicker allowing for a bigger battery (Thanks for not pulling a classic Apple-ism.) The edges of the phone have been curved for better grip, though it still slides around. By the way, the water cooling is actually just a heatpipe. The camera takes crisp beautiful photos aside from the lower megapixel count than the S6, but if you're not that much of a photographer, you'll barely notice it. The sound is good, and the In-built EQ is amazing. The loudspeaker is actually loud now. Lat but not least, and the only place where this sexy beast falls short: VALUE. And I'm not talking about the regular one (Which is also pretty pricey.) But the edge. $100 more for a silly gimmick, and the glass and display shouldn't even cost that much to make, even if it is custom made! But all in all, this is probably the best Samsung phone so far. They finally listened to everybody prayers (And rants.) And got it right this time. Way to go!
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, good sound, almost too fast, good battery, amazing camera, beautiful design, waterproof, better software
Cons: edge version is god-awfully expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love it . It works great and it's fast so far don't have any issues with it
This is the best Galaxy that Samsung has ever made. I had the S6 edge and it is a better phone. It doesn't have the overheating issues and the poor battery life that the S6 has. Samsung, you outdid yourselves this time. #GalaxyS7edge
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable, very thin
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pretty good specs and nifty features. Too smooth though and too large for one hand operations.
