Use this unlocked Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge phone to stay in touch with friends and family. Its defense-grade KNOX platform provides enhanced security, and it's IP6s water-resistant for protection against spills. A 12-megapixel camera captures quality pictures, and the 3600 mAh battery provides fast charging. Store plenty of information with the expandable 200GB memory of this Samsung Galaxy phone.

Great Note 7 Replacement
on October 12, 2016
Posted by: SandMan
Verified Purchase:Yes
My Note 7 was recalled so looked around for the best replacement and settled on the S7 Edge. It has most of the same capabilities that I love about the Note 7 (QHD screen, MicroSD support, Quick Charge 2.0, IP68 water resistant, improved camera, etc.) at a similar size. The Best Buy associate answered a few questions I had about getting an unlocked phone and was very helpful getting me going.
I decided on an unlocked phone from Best Buy to run on the Verizon network. I just moved my SIM card from my Note 7 to my S7 Edge and it was instantly on the Verizon network. I have all of the VoLTE support with HD Voice, mobile hotspot and video. I did have to change the network mode to LTE/CDMA from Global to keep the phone on the LTE network instead of 3G network but it works perfectly.

Why not 64GB Memory for Unlocked Samsung Galaxy 7 or Edge phone for T-Mobile (Family Mobile.)

Samsung only made 32Gb models for the US market. You can expand the storage of the phone through a microSD card up to 256Gb. This is what I do and it works great.

Does samsung pay work on this unlocked version? Oh and what processor does it have? The snapdragon 820 or exynos 8890? Is there anything else that won't work on this unlocked version?

Samsung Pay works perfectly. The processor is Snapdragon 820. Everything works just like my previous locked phone.

how well can the screen be seen in sunlight

The screen is pretty bright with the automatic brightness setting and you can manually set it brighter but it works great for me in the sun.

J.R. what size is the s7 edge? And do you sell one with more memory? Exp. 64GB Or more?

It is 32Gb but you can expand the storage with a microSD card up to 256Gb. This is what I have done on my phone and it work great. I keep the apps on the internal storage and then keep pictures, movies, music and files on the microSD card which leaves plenty of internal storage left for normal use.

My phone only shows LTE or sometimes H+, does this phone not get the 4g speed with tmobile? Or does this mean my phone does not get the full speed of 4g?

LTE is true 4G so you are already getting real 4G. HPSA+ is a faster version of the 3G standard. The phone will sometimes go to the 3G network when the LTE network is not strong enough at a specific location but it should roll back to LTE once the LTE signal get stronger. You can set in the phone under the Network mode setting to just operate on the LTE network, which is what I have done to keep it off the 3G network.
