Samsung gets the details right

I tend to upgrade phones about every year as I push the performance and battery life to the limits. I had been using a Nexus 6p - the other cutting edge Android phone - for a couple of months prior to switching to the Samsung Galaxy S7. I ended up giving the 6p to my wife as she needed a new phone and my employer was offering to get me a new company phone. The Nexus 6p wasn't an approved corporate device so I had no choice but to go with an s7.
I had the original Galaxy and have switched between Nexus and Galaxy devices over the years. The last Galaxy device I had was the s4 which was a disappointment. There were no appreciable improvements in the s4 from the s3 and that turned me off from Galaxy devices.
While I do still prefer the pure Android experience, I can say unequivocally that Samsung has up'd their game. TouchWiz used to be the first thing I removed (usually going with Cyanogen ROM). But with the s7 and the new version of TouchWiz, I actually find it quite useful. A few of my favorite interactions - double click home button for camera, two-finger swipe down for all quick settings, hold home button for Google Now on tap. There has been much talk about multi-window functionality but I personally don't find it that useful... maybe on a tablet.
The fingerprint scanner is the home button. This is a much slicker design than the Nexus 6p which requires you to awkwardly press you finger on the back of the phone.
The s7 also has some health tracking features that I wasn't even aware of. The s7 has a heart-rate sensor built in on the back of the phone and the phone can also function as a pedometer to track your steps if you keep it in your pocket. Bonus: you can use the heart-rate sensor as a "shutter button" when taking selfies.
As I mentioned, I tend to push performance and battery-life. While the s7 does seem to perform on-par or better than the Nexus 6p, for me the battery doesn't last quite as long - only 10-12 hours - compared to the 15-16 hours I was getting out of the 6p. And even with the quick charge capability, the s7 still doesn't charge as fast as the 6p did. That may have something to do with the Nexus 6p adopting the new USB-C interface.
Pros: Bright display
I would recommend this to a friend!

Previously had a Samsung S5. This phone is fast. Really liking the info displayed on the lock screen feature. The edge screen is very handy. Overall I have been very please with the S7 Edge. Also the battery life had been a real plus.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, battery life

Easily the sweetest phone for your fingers..
on April 26, 2016
Posted by: r0sephich
Simple.. This phone is fast, innovative and downright sexy. By far my favorite phone I've ever used. I took a picture of a flower in my yard the 1st day I got it, from about 2 feet away, and you can see pollen, clearly. Absolutely gorgeous camera. I can't say enough positive about it, but I'll leave you with that. Oh! And it's definitely waterproof. ;D
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, sexy af!

Wifi connection

For any of you having trouble connecting to your wifi with the Samsung galaxy s7, it may in fact be your router. When I received my phone, although it would connect to my home wifi - ATT Uverse modem/router, I was not able to view weather radar over my wifi, yet I could play games via the wifi connection and review my emails. After spending hours on the phone with ATT, they finally sent me a replacement modem. When I received the new unit, it was exactly the same model as the one I already had so I was pleasantly surprised that after replacing it the problem was resolved.
Pros: Bright display
