Galaxy S7 is an awesome device and perfect size!!!

It's the best phone out there since sliced bread..

I have owned 3 smart phones in my lifetime. The first two were the Motorla Droid Razr Maxx HD (used for 3 years) and the Droid Maxx (used for 3 years). Both still sit on my shelf, both still work, and I even use the Droid Maxx to run emulators on when I'm out of town and just want to do some gaming in the car or in the hotel room. I loved those phones. But, 4 months ago I decided it was time for a new phone. I was between sticking with the Motorola and getting the Pixel or getting the S7 which all my friends had. I chose poorly. Here is my experience with the S7: Upon getting it I was absolutely blindsided by the amount of garbage that Samsung wants you to sign up for. Samsung Pay, Fitness, etc will annoy you to the ends of the earth until you register with them. I had no interest in any of those things and did my best to force stop them in the app manager, but they always come back around and haunt you. Whatever, so I signed up for them and then forgot they existed. But wait, here are some notifications from those apps you don't use! Thanks for the shovel-ware, Samsung. Atleast when Motorola gives you that you can uninstall the updates and it leaves you alone. I got used to my new life with this phone and got used to my qualms with it. I accepted that the shape of the phone was awkward, the app manager was disorganized, the apps list didn't automatically sort things alphabetically, the random notifications from Samsung apps that I didn't care about, and various other small things that irked me but I chose to accept. That is, until 2 days ago when I woke up in the morning to a phone that I had charged all night being at 20% of its battery with a message on the screen that said "moisture detected blah,blah,blah". Basically, this phone thought the port was wet and stopped charging to prevent it from shorting out. "Fair enough" I said initially. It had never been wet, never been in the rain, never seen a steam room, but it was good to know that the thing had a fail-safe. So, I googled the problem, grabbed a hair dryer, blasted the port on the medium setting on my hair dryer, plugged it in, and "moisture detected". Eventually, hours later, my phone decided to charge again for some reason. So, I left it on charge and got to 100% battery. The next day it threw up the same error for absolutely no reason and eventually died. I'm now unable to charge it and must send it in to Samsung for my warranty. It has been over 6 years since I got my first smart phone, but the one I got 4 months ago has been a bigger disappointment than that one. In fact, I took out my SIM card and have been really enjoying using my older phone more than this thing. IF Samsung gives me my replacement phone then I'll likely sell it to get the Pixel or another Motorola. I gave them a shot and I learned my lesson. Never again, mate. Never again.

I have had most of the iPhones and Samsung phones, I recently bought the s7 edge but there wasn't enough accessories for me so I bought the regular s7 I'm not very impressed with it, the battery life is awful it has glitches. The s6 is a much better phone in my opinion.

This phone has too much bloatware. Too many apps run in the background. My phone suffered from a rapid discharge. It was at 95% charge and two hours later it was at 0% and shut down, hard, to black screen. There is no easy way to replace a bad battery. There isn't an easy way to troubleshoot what apps are causing rapid discharge. Poor support from Best Buy on this issue. Probably my last Android phone...

WARNING: AT&T in the US is shipping QUAD-CORE *NOT* OCTO-CORE S7's! See their website for yourself - it says "Quad-core, 2 at 2.15GHz and 2 at 1.6GHz" "Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 820 (MSM8996)". I also confirmed this with an AT&T rep via their chat system.

Samsung has removed the IR blaster and the user changeable battery. At least they did add back the storage option. I wanted a Note 7 but had to settle for the S7.
