[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Dirtdawg57:
I preorder the black S7 edge. I am basically coming from a Droid Bionic. I just recently switched over to my wife's old Droid Maxx when she up graded. I had a Note 3 for a while but sold it because of it's terrible reception.

Speaking of reception, I almost didn't go with the s7 after researching the s6s reception issues. Seems like Samsung has always been on the weak side of the phone makers when it comes to radios.

But I found out that might change with the s7. Qualcomm has come out with some new antenna tech that is supposed to be much better. From what I understand, the V10 was the first to use it and people are reporting excellent reception with the v10.

What baffles me is why this isn't more advertised. I had to go digging for it. Like I said, I had serious trouble with the note 3, and if you look at the forums on the Internet, many Samsungs have issues. Hopefully it really is better!

Anyhow, it looks like a great phone and waiting for it to get here is going to be the longest wait of my life!

Preordered gold 32GB. In my country we only have two colors to choose - black or gold. Didn't know what color I want, but gold is more interesting color i think, so ordered gold one :). Coming from nexus 6p, was e grate device, but maybe to big to bring it everywhere I go. 5.5'' is the sweet spot in screen sizes I think :)

UPDATE: OK, changed my mind. Ordered black onyx, I thought that it will fit better with gears s2 classic if I'll decide to buy one :).

Can live without AOSP/CM roms (i think). Would be happy with debloated TW roms, or at least root, a custom kernel, Viper and Xposed. Those are essentials for me.

Comming from HTC M9. Good phone but poor battery life and bad camera. Never like Samsung but s6 was really beatiful (metal & glass) and S7 seems to be the perfect phone !

I thought people will post coming from like device 2-3 years old,.but man, coming from s6 edge and nexus 6p,v10,A9, Note 5 . Seriously, how rich are you guys? Thread should be renamed to "Where is your money coming from ?"

:D:p:silly:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
I really can't see it. The Note 7 Edge is 5.5" so unless they plan to take it up to 6" as I said earlier, they won't be releasing an interim device because it has a bigger screen. And 6" for a phone is too much. As for the camera and storage, neither is a reason to bring a new device out before the S8 in the first quarter of next year. The S7 has expandable storage and comes in a 64gb flavour already in some territories. Why bother with 128gb when it can be expanded via the SD slot for far less money? And the camera is already the best on the market at this time.

The S6 Edge+ made sense, as for some the S6 Edge wasn't big enough and they avoided it as a result. That doesn't apply to the S7 Edge. In short, holding off because you have a good enough device in the S6+ is fine and makes sense. But don't do it because you think they will release an interim device less than 6 months down the line, I strongly suspect you will be disappointed.

Had a iPhone 5 6 months ago saw the Vodafone smart ultra 6 cheap and wanted a 5.5" screen but only option was note 4 or iPhone 6 plus still very expensive. The Vodafone has shown me how much I like android again as had iphones for last 4 years so getting gold s7 edge plus Vodafone lags like crazy so looking forward to a smooth android
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] flarbear:
I'm sure a number of upgraders are proactive about selling their used devices for a decent amount so they really aren't buying a "whole new phone".

Others are probably like me, on T-Mobile's Jump program you are just swapping devices and extending your payment plan. I've basically admitted to myself that I'm going to pay $X/month for the rest of my life to almost, but never really, own a phone, but always have the latest and greatest. When I jumped to the 128GB S6 Edge it was so expensive that they actually required a down-payment in addition to swapping the payment plan over, but the S7 was $0 for the down payment so I'm literally just adding 11 more payments to my plan (which will probably be extended further when the S8 comes out).

If you upgrade less frequently, then keeping the old one and selling it may be more cost effective, but around the 1-year mark the remaining payments and the amount you could sell it for are close enough that the less hassle to simply upgrade makes sense for many busy people.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] angasreid:
Been a huge HTC fan, but after a few disappointments - it's time to let the M9 retire. First Samsung since the Galaxy Nexus. Looking forward to the SD Card and near-flawless design - I'm going Onyx Edge. Wish I wasn't giving up an IR blaster though, I've enjoyed f***ing with bars and the current sports game on TV.

The LG V10. I got tired of waiting for marshmallow and T-Mobile allowed me to "Jump" on the pre-order.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] saurabh40629:
That's exciting plan. I am tempted. Btw I am more inclined to AOSP phones because of less software issues. Samsung has disappointed me to core, and touchwiz slows down after a while.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Jfree3000:
LOL, I did the same thing my friend. Got bored with Android gave the 6s+ a shot and I don't hate it, the best batter life I have ever had with a phone and the apps seemed to be a bit more "optimized" for apple and the fingerprint scanner was a great feature. The lack of jailbreak is a real deal breaker for me and I don't want to pass up on that VR gear.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] odesskiy:
Coming from LG V10. The phone isn't bad but the proximity sensor problem that a lot of people are experiencing is driving me nuts. The phone is unusable as... a PHONE! Today I wanted to throw it at the wall. Any time I have call-waiting I have a dark screen and absolutely no way to answer the incoming call.

Stopped by Best Buy today and the S7 Edge is absolutely gorgeous. Amazing body, amazing screen. Came home and pre-ordered. Now the wait begins...

Coming back to Android after a 2 year stint on Windows Phone with a Lumia 1520. It's still a decent phone spec wise, but the glitchy touchscreen has scarred me for life. I was also starting to get frustrated by the app gap the last 6 months or so.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] squallz506:
Upgrading from my moto x pure. The camera and 808 leave me wanting more. Also running a AOSP rom for smoothness pretty much negates the main reason I got the MXPE in the first place (Moto features). I'm going to miss the front facing speakers. I planned on keeping the Moto x pure for 2 years, but Verizon offered me an early upgrade and by switching my plan to the Verizon plan I'm actually going to be saving $2/mo plus I get a new toy. 2 actually counting the gear vr. I was thinking I would take the gear s2 but I already have a moto 360. Anyway I ordered the silver variant and a casemate clear tough case. I ordered a QC 3.0 charger too but the s7e manual says it only supports QC2.0. Lame.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] pwrmedia:
JOD'ng from a Note 5 to the s7 edge...still not really a Samsung fan, but the Note 5 has grown on me a bit in the 5 months I've had it. I've still got a Nexus 5 and 6 to play w/ whenever I want the pure Google experience, but I've told myself that this (s7 edge) will probably be the 1st phone I've had that I don't immediately root. I'd like to give Samsung Pay a shot, so maybe I'll just run the debloater and deal w/ any slight multitasking lag that may occur down the road.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cbutters:
I'm coming from a Note5 I've had it for 6 months now (had a note 3 and note 4 before that).

Few things I want to say

A) I'll miss the stylus of the Note5, but I think I'll use the edge features more consistently than I've used the stylus. (Plus I've got an insistent 2 year old who wants to draw on it NONSTOP, so she takes my phone away all the time :S (she has plenty of crayons).

B)Its actually more economical for me lately to upgrade to the latest and greatest every cycle buying it outright.... I'll sell my note5 a few days before launch (Mine is in pristine condition (still has the sticker on the back)) for around 500-570, I'll take advantage of the GearVR offer (already have one) and sell that for $80-$100, I already subscribe to netflix, so the thats $100 back instantly, then I'll only be out 30-100 dollars for upgrading the device, but if samsung offers any more samsung pay perks, I'll actually end up making money on the deal.

C) I'm loving the battery size on the s7 edge, and the size in general. The note series has always been just a tiny bit too big for my hands. a more pocketable device is going to be welcome.

D)With regard to GearVR, while the note5 and the s7 edge have the same resolution; the circles that focus on the phones screen should have more PPI on the S7 Edge 534PPI vs 517PPI. The note5 actually shrinks the visible area of the phone to make it work with the focusing lenses of the GearVR. I'm optimistic that the S7 Edge can enhance clarity a bit without sacrificing FOV. like the S6 does

Leaning towards the Galaxy S7 Edge, currently have the Galaxy S3! Still going to wait to see how the camera performs as opposed to the LG G5. I'm unsure of the advantage of the lower MP but wider aperture - S7 (12MP 1.7f) or G5 (16MP 1.8f)

Coming from a 64GB gold platinum S6E to the black onyx S7E. Too bad there is no 64GB option. Keeping my Nexus 5X for now for the pure Android experience but pure Android has been quite boring and the camera is really slow & frustrating to use when compared to the S6E despite taking decent pictures.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] oldblue910:
I've got a SIM-free iPhone 6S Plus and a Nexus 6P, so I guess don't really need this phone. But, I pre-ordered the Galaxy S7 Edge from Verizon anyway (Silver Titanium) but I'm sure I'll probably end up returning it within the 14 day period. The $35 restocking fee is worth it to me to be able to "rent" the phone for two weeks and play around with it. But, if I do like it enough to keep it, I'll sell my Nexus 6P.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] gadgetgaz:
I've pre-ordered the gold one with a free Samsung Gear VR direct from Samsung UK. I currently have a gold S6 Edge with which I am unhappy about its poor reception and battery life. I am looking forward to the microSD slot, extra battery and waterproofing. Not too happy that the S7 edge is bigger but willing to give it a go. I really wish it was the same size as the normal S7. I hope the reception will be better and that I am more impressed with the edge screen gadgets. I am also looking forward to playing with the VR headset and am expecting it to be far better than Google cardboard.

Also, I have become accustomed to the wifi calling feature on my S6 Edge and will be keen to flash the stock EE firmware on the S7 Edge when it becomes available on Sammobile to get back that feature.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jackdforme:
Agreed. Order the exact same from the Note 5. I love my note, but had the SGS6E and wanted a big screen with an edge. I didn't do the SGS6E+ because it was so odd and terrible in hand feel. I am glad they went to a tiny 5.5 body and rounded the back like the note. That in hand feel, the actual black color and the battery size are the big reasons for me. Doesn't hurt that I got 600 for my N5 either...
