Customer Ratings & Reviews

Many people have been complaining that this phone doesn't work with Verizon or Sprint. They are CDMA companies, so Samsung basically has to ask them to let this phone be on their network. Only certain unlocked phones are able to be on their networks. I have Sprint. When I bought this on August 13, Sprint said it would not be able to be activated. As of September 10, I can confirm that it is able to be activated. Just remember patience is the key. The manufacturer has to contact each CDMA company and have that specific phone tested and certified to work with CDMA companies. If you want a list of the approved non-Sprint devices that can be activated, on Sprint just google "Sprint Bring Your Own Device."

I bought this phone as a replacement for my European Samsung S5 that was not compatible with LTE USA frequencies. This phone has very welcome improvements over the S5: - I am glad they dropped the clunky microusb/usb3 port the S5 had. - They also removed the removable flap that protected the microusb from water and made the whole thing waterproof. - The Samsung whizz UI now supports themes and I could find one that fits my taste. I no longer had to replace the default UI with ad filled ones. I am still not sure the edge is an improvement on anything. Actually, it's a bit harder to hit the extremities of the keyboard and sometimes when I hold it, it registers some keypresses by mistake. I am already gettting used to it though. I had to remove a star because the price is way too high. I bought the S5 for $500. For $800, this is more expensive than an iphone and has the same features.

I am a Samsung fan and who doesn't support Olympics.This phone is limited edition and has a solid price tag, which some of us are ready to pay. But unfortunately these limited edition phones can have issues too. No extra precautions were taken while manufacturing, all focus was on advertisement and aesthetics (looks) of the phone. I bought my phone from Best Buy and had mine went bad after 18 days of my purchase. Bummer! Can't return it, due to past 14 days return policy. I have a strange steak of line (faded pixels) that is going through right side of my screen vertically. I have Never-Ever dropped this phone. It has been in case since day 0. I called Samsung and looks like will end up with a refurbished phone.... So, I basically paid for refurbished phone. Please google it further, it's a known issue and these limited editions are no exception. Absolutely not recommended to any of my friends out there. I am very disappointed with this purchase. I tried my best to take these pictures as clear as possible. Please look carefully to the right side of the phone. Rest attached pictures speaks for themselves.

Wonderful design and have very nice features. It has awesome camera and excellent performance. I'm happy with the relative long duration battery compared to other devices.

I purchased this after returning my Note 7 due to the recall. I owned a T-Mobile version of this phone prior to buying the Note 7 and was very happy with it. But this unlocked Olympic Edition version while truly beautiful, got extremely hot and slowed down a lot after even an hour long drive using Waze. This did not happen with the T-Mobile version, so perhaps my unit was defective. Alternatively, perhaps its band 12 LTE antenna us not as strong as the antenna on the T-Mobile version. Don't bother with the unlocked version. They're not even getting security updates more quickly.

Compared to the T-Mo version I had been using for a short while, this unlocked Edge has a beautfil built-in theme and striking color accents on it's exterior. It comes with a fancy storage box for those that plan on keeping this device as a collector piece for the long haul. Personally, I'm not much interested in that type of added value. From a performance standpoint, the phone has performed flawlessly. Software updates have been timely and problem free. Although my previous T-Mo Edge would display a higher bar count for the cell network, this one displays lower but always maintains a solid connection - even with just one bar displayed. Having seen this behavior before, I'm convinced that these signal strength bars are coarse at best - and not accurate. Battery life has been superb thanks to Doze, no carrier bloat and the large internal battery. Charges fast via cable and wirelessly. The screen is bright, sharp and responsive. Having the finger print reader on the front is key for me. Recognizes my print and unlocks reliably. The Edge screen functionality is no gimmick. Totally customization and useful. I wasn't sure about this feature initially but now I rely on it for quick access to features & notifications. I now prefer it over what LG has offered in the second screen space of the V series. It's way more useful and flexible. Wifi, bluetooth, cell reception and battery performance are all top notch. Samsung hit it out of the park with this device.

Got this instead of the carrier version. Loved that it had no bloatware and comes carrier unlocked. The Olympic color scheme was bonus.

Great phone. and the colors are a huge plus. it looks great. love getting compliments on it.

This is hands down the best phone out in the market when it comes to your phone doing, perhaps, what a Linux computer can do! This phone not only has the best camera but also superb processing power, battery life, over 200gigs of space, and the list goes on and on... pound for pound, to me, its worth more than its weight in gold!

Is a excellent phone. Limited edition fabulous . Black

First off this has to be the best looking phone out there. What is huge for me is the camera and this phone delivers 10/10 times. My wife has a new iPhone and when it comes to pictures she makes me take them with this phone. Low light is off the chart.

I received a s6 as a company phone. Couldn't stand it! Two days later ,I went to best buy, and bought this collector item phone. Waterproof, micro SD card, fast as speeding bullet, outstanding photos... and many more features.

The S7 Edge Olympic Edition Phone scores a perfect 10. If you are one who prefers to be seen with something uniquely beautiful and you like the S7 Edge, you will not be disappointed.

Great present for android lovers. Really like the Olympics colors!

Not bad at all... I'd really prefer the note 7 but oh well. Smh

Better than the note 7, at least it doesn't explote lol

Good phone but not perfect. Looking forward to Note 7.

This by far one of Samsung's best phones. Finding the right combination of screen protector and phone case is hard. I'm looking for a glass screen protector and a glass protector for the back of the phone. You put a screen protector on the front to protect the glass screen so why not protect the back as well since it also is glass?

I had the Verizon version of this phone and it cracked, so I got the unlocked one as a replacement. The unlocked version is NOT as nice as the carrier-branded version. I have noticed longer battery life and it lacks the bloatware. However, WiFi calling is not possible and the phone is noticeably sooooo much slower.

Very user friendly and not to mention the design is just amazing! One of a kind :)
