    I bought this phone from Best Buy Online on October, I bought it because it is an international version and the processor is more powerful than the US versions and has no bloatware. Initially the phone worked fine for a couple months, then it started to frozen while I was using it. I tried to reboot the phone, then it just hangs at the boot-up. I called the Samsung support, and they won't help you since it's an international version. I tried to see if I can get some help from Best Buy and no luck. It really sucks when there is a problem. Don't buy it.

    An Edge Above Its Competition

    Highly impressed with the make, feel and functionality of this device. Pros: Touch Screen in highly responsive beyond a doubt. Fast, Fluid and Slick in operation. Experienced no lag even while 9 other applications were open. Sharp display. Picture defragmentation on zooming is a lot better to other phones. Thanks to the Aperture, the natural light captured makes the image more realistic and visual in its nature, which is heartening to see on a Super AMOLED screen. Samsung's TouchWiz interface also gets a bump and has trimmed down on the clutter. Information is clear, concise and uncluttered.Multi-Tasking is super easy and super swift.The lens and image sensors on the Galaxy S7 aren't large enough to match the capabilities of full-bodied SLR cameras, but the phones borrow some of the focus and light-capturing technologies found on more sophisticated shooters. The lens and image sensors on the Galaxy S7 aren't large enough to match the capabilities of full-bodied SLR cameras, but the phones borrow some of the focus and light-capturing technologies found on more sophisticated shooters.These technologies combined result in brighter, sharper images in low light. The Galaxy S7's camera lens no longer protrudes awkwardly, as it did on the S6. Its screen turns into a flash for low-light selfies, just like the latest iPhones. (That means my selfies now look awful because of their subject and not the low light.) Cons: Talking strictly about the phone, battery backup could have been better but with the normal power saving mode on during the less hectic hours, you may end up saving good percentage of battery. Ergonomically sound though, it might get slightly hard to grip the device properly due to its make and materials. Hybrid SIM/microSD slot is something that I dont like. If budget is not a problem, The S7 Edge is definitely the giant you should go for wherein the compromises are less, and the device is functional. Just hold it once and your mind will automatically bog down all the competitors within. Highly Recommended.

    The s7 edge is a great phone, and has top-tier hardware. Touchwiz is also improved this year, and is a relatively snappy skin that offers some great features. Camera focus time is simply astoundingly fast, and the battery life is terrific (I average around 7.5 hours screen on time over a 25-28 hour period). This unlocked model has the Exynos 8890 processor, and after owning both this and a snapdragon 820 powered TMobile variant, I can say that the e8890 is far superior in both performance (unless heavy gaming) and efficiency.

    I love the phone, especially the camera, which was the big seller for me. I'm really disappointed with the battery life. Lasts me only about 12 hours. Probably also the reason for Samsung coming up with wireless charging. Of course you have to pay extra for the wireless charging which is also another reason not to give it 5 stars. Everything else is brilliant. Although I still have to work out how to send new messages on gmail but then that's probably a user issue and not a phone issue ;)

    The S7 Edge has a lot of great features. I upgraded from an S4 and the biggest differences I noticed was the speed and the battery life. The charge lasts a lot longer and the phone charges much faster. I gave it 4 stars because i find the edge feature superfluous and unnecessary. My phone also freezes from time to time and it is impossible to remove the battery to turn it off since the phone is waterproofed. Using your fingerprint to unlock the phone is more finicky that it should be. Overall, however, these are minor gripes to a mostly great upgrade.

    The samsung 7 edge seems like a space age phone compared to my old one (nexus 5). I like how it is tall and skinny, so I can still grip it with one hand and fit it in my pocket. the wide edge makes picture viewing very nice, and makes the screen seem a lot bigger. I turned on edge notices and shortcut apps, but I honestly don't really use them. It works like all android phones. Extremely fast charging (1 hour to full battery!!!). Battery lasts more than all day (my old phone had to be charged in the middle of the day because I use my phone so much). Beautiful photos. Captures great sports photos when my son is running around, if I use "sports" mode.

    This phone is fast. And the most important thing is that even with all the applications I downloaded on it, I still can go out for the day without worrying about my battery.

    As a longtime user of Samsung phones, I can confirm that this is an impressive and top-notch example of their often great products. I previously used a Galaxy S4, so I cannot make comparisons between the more recent S6 and my new S7 Edge. I can say that all facets are considerably improved from my old phone; the camera, call quality, processing speed, etc., are all much better. Additionally, the Edge style includes a few nifty features like illuminating the sides in blue or green when the phone is face down if you get a text or call respectively. It isn't very necessary compared to the regular S7, but it has a few cool touches. If you are looking for a new phone, this should be a pretty strong contender in your options.

    It has a 3600 mAh battery, which will last you almost the entire day. The micro sd card slot is back and you could add upto 200gb. The audio due to the waterproofing has affected.

    I bought it to use in boats as it is water resistant. Haven't tested HOW water resistant. Yet. :D I DO wish it were buoyant as well. Or had some sort of handle to which one could easily attach a tether. It doesn't. So if it goes over the side in the middle of the lake, I'm not really gonna care if it's water resistant? I mean, I have never dropped a phone in the toilet or in a puddle. I am interested if anyone has a clever way to make this float or to attach a tether?

    Nice looking phone but way to touchy.At times it seems to have a mind of its own.You touch one thing and something else pops up.At times you have to push the same icon 2 or 3 times to get it going.It does seem to hold up to water on it.
