I have been watching a lot of reviews of Galaxy s7 edge on youtube and I found there Direct call option in Advanced features but when I went to the mobile store I tried to find out direct call option on s7 edge inside Advanced features but it was not there. There is no direct call option. what is the matter and why its different. any idea?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] elpindian:
Agreed. You should try a factory reset because my s7 is infinitely faster than my s5 and s5 active that i still use as podcast/YouTube players. Keep in mind that my s7 is loaded to the brim with all my apps while the s5's have maybe 5 apps installed from the play store on them.

If the reset doesn't work then I'd look into getting a replacement because you might have gotten a dud.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] stevae:
don't know why you posted the same response to three different quotes. you could have just listed the quotes, and then written your response once. anyway, the answer is CARRIERS!!!! different carriers delete different features and functions as they either conflict with the carriers software, or the carrier just doesn't want you to use it. at&t is famous for this. so is verizon and sprint. but all american carriers are guilty to some degree, which is why I ALWAYS BUY THE INTERNATIONAL UNLOCKED VERSION OF ANY PHONE I PURCHASE. THERE IS NONE OF THAT INVOLVED WITH THE INTERNATIONAL VERSION.

on another note, any of your guys whining about lag, are your own worst enemy. this phone does NOT lag. if yours is lagging, then you are doing something wrong, or you have a dud, as previously mentioned. this phone is brilliantly fast, and smooth. look back on the things you have done, or are doing to find your solution.

Fast in most areas, but inconsistent gaming performance. I uploaded a video showing these issues with even the simplest games like Miitomo:

snapdragon 820 vs exynos

https://youtu.be/233f0ewFWGk

I hope Samsung update this SD version because it needs optimising for sure
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] 2dorr:
I have the Exynos S7 Edge and before I had a Nexus 6p. I see no difference between them, except better call quality, better screen, better battery, better handling with the S7. So yes it's the first Samsung that is as fast as a Nexus. I had S6 Edge and Edge+ last year but they had the ram management problem that made them slower than 6p in opening my most used apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] luckstar53:
Best phone ever i've been used. Best camera, best screen. No heating on Exynos model. It's best.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Rickyzx:
This a great one phone in world. There are no issue about speed. Games & Video all are better then any other. It's a faster smart phone in whole world.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] o1d8oy:
It's fast. No lag [exynos].
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ATalkingRock:
Sure people are saying this phone is fast, which I can believe, however does it still have stuttering animations like previous galaxy's had? My note 3 was very stuttery, my friends note 5 was very very stuttery at times when I played with it. I honestly want to buy this phone, however with my experiences of the note 3 and 5, the animations somewhat seemed jittery to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] FalconFX:
Nope the phone is wicked fast and butter smooth 99.5% of the time. 0.5% is for sometimes which every os suffers from even the nexus 6p
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] madphone:
Exynos: it's really fast, almost no lag (google keybord lags when swiping).

but it doesn't feel as fast and buttery smooth as the g5.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Toyeboy:
That's just crazy that it lags with something as simple as Google keyboard which doesn't even lag on my HTC one M8. It has to be software.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] BigBen60:
Fastest phone I've ever used ! I've never seen anything like that (especially on a QHD screen)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] deezid:
Install Google Now Launcher or Nova and the lags are gone :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] dbirlando:
Great samsung edge version. I will bought this smartphone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] #Liut#:
No lags and very smooth
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Haskren:
The phone runs incredibly smooth, but somehow I noticed some stuttering in RR3

Surely it's not the hardware!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Jac0verflow:
The phone is super fast in every task you can think of, and almost everything flows smoothly. However I detected a few applications that run weirdly bad: two of them are SwiftKey keyboard in its settings GUI and Google Calendar. I own the Exynos variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] dcemtp1:
I found that I get some microlag in a couple of apps (like the xda app actually) and sometimes when going through the recent apps but sometimes I can't tell if it's microlag or the oversensetivity of the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] maluminse:
Houston we have a problem. Reading everyone elses report I may have a problem. Freezes maybe once a day like totally non responsive. Then I also get an occasional glitch.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] naryraza:
Very smooth and no speed complaint with almost everything. The only app i found to be not very smooth is need for speed no limits (under certain circumstances), i don't know if other high end phones can play this game100% smoothly (night scene, multiple cars and visual fx,... )
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Error404html:
Me too.. I am happy because I don't have to worry about low battery level.. 2 days using it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] drummerman:
Superb speed & battery. Exynos non-rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Chikn19:
Overall speed is great! The only times I have ever noticed the slightest slowdown is when you are rebooting or just getting set up after a wipe and it is updating every app on the phone which is normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ring.ring:
the best android phone i think :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jddoggett:
Coming from a Note 4 this S7 Edge is down on performance, maybe I got a lemon? Even rooted, TexHDv2 installed and all the junk frozen it still is slow compared to my old note 4 which my youngest daughter now happily owns.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] BrainSmashR:
I just UNrooted my S7 Edge because there was a significant drop in performance with the root :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jddoggett:
I think I'll entice my wife into taking this phone since she feels like she deserves it more than I do and I'll take her note 5. Damn! did I ever get ripped on this deal, my daughter gets my note 4 and I'm stuck with this turd of a phone. I'm ready to call samsung and tmoble and tell them to stick this phone where the sun don't shine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] BrainSmashR:
There's a flaw in the Note 4 that isn't being repaired...at any given moment it will crash and then get stuck in a boot loop. The only way to stop it is to plug in the charger, which sucks if you're at the grocery store or something like that. I sent off for a "new" one, and it had the exactly same problem right out of the box...after a little research, it appears the flaw isn't being repaired, they will just keep sending you "new" phones until you get one that isn't broken YET.

Thus I upgraded to the S7 Edge, and while I wouldn't exactly call it a turd, I DID love my Note 4 a hell of a lot better :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jddoggett:
Never had a problem with my Note 4, always ran flawlessly!!! I'm slowly changing my mind on the s7, recently ran some benchmarks and the scores were pretty high compared to other top phones. Having a hard time holding it in my meat-hooks, it's so much thinner and lighter than the note, always checking my pocket too to make sure it's in there, edge screen is a PITA for me still, kicking myself for not waiting on the Note 7.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] drummerman:
... which of course has an 'edge' too :D

---------- Post added at 07:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------

Super fast, great looking and fantastic battery life.

What's not to like? :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jddoggett:
It's not "super fast" you guys have to stop kidding yourselves, even though mine benchmark-ed well it still lags, the edge screen is more of an irritation and if samsung is going edge on the note's too than I'll be going bye bye to samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] drummerman:
Exynos version, no lags in day to day use.

Smooth, fluid and fast.

Stock.

I am not running 'bench marks'. What's the point? :D

Folks that continually run "bench mark' tests are probably the same ones that have 20odd 'battery saving' and other 'maintenance' apps running consecutively and are then wondering why their phones are slowing down :)

I have a feeling Samsung will see another day despite your 'expert' economic forecast for the company. :D

I somehow don't think they are doing to badly as is.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jddoggett:
Only ran a benchmark out of curiosity, the lag! US model so you might not be experiencing the lag that I am. Sorry to disappoint but running no maintenance apps, jeez!!! Mines rooted, with the only pseudo rom available, de-bloated, added fixes provided by expert devs on this forum, better than when it was in stock form. Maybe it's just a deception on my part, I was expecting something that would blow my mind but this phone doesn't/hasn't, expecting to much, maybe? Could have been the Note 4 I had was an exceptional phone. My perception is I traded for something smaller, less snappier imho, more of an irritation (edge screen). Note 4 was perfect size for me, even with a case on the s7 "edge" always feel like it's going to slip through my fingers. My daughter's so happy with my note 4 she laughed when I tried to con her into giving it back, not even a marketing gimmick like the "edge" could sway her :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] drummerman:
If you really are that unhappy with it, this is the time to sell it whilst it is still the top phone and before an S8 comes out.

You'll get good money for it though a loss is obviously to be expected.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] nitrous²:
I expected 3D performance to be way better. It's not bad, in fact, it's actually very beautiful. The micro stutters and lags are killing me, though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Buddy Revell:
Does the Edge suffer from the same problems the Note 7 does? http://www.xda-developers.com/with-...delivers-embarrassing-real-world-performance/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] FsocietyXDA:
it is absolutely fast in everyday use. i can't imagine any phone with as much as this phone has, being any faster. from all indications, the exynos variant is faster than the note 7, and several reviewers have already showed it to be faster than the htc, lg, iphone and yes, even the nexus. i think there are a few things other phones can do maybe a bit faster, but for overall speed throughout the device, this is a very fast phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] nitrous²:
I've been profiling GPU rendering since I got it and it shows very similar results to those of the Note 7. You can test it for yourself. Just go to developer settings and enable GPU Rendering Profile.

I have a few explanations for the discrepancy in user experience.

A. Some of us (Exynos) got bad hardware.

B. Users reporting to have absolutely fluid experience are coming from a device with subpar UI/3D performance.

[Semi-Jk] C. Users reporting to have absolutely fluid experience are console peasants and don't know 60FPS goodness.

But seriously, tho':

[IMG="15VS30VS60"]https://gaspull-geeksaresexytech.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/fpsdemo1.gif[/IMG]

FWIW, games on the Exynos 8890 should not run on 30- and sometimes even on 15FPS. If I wanted to play at low FPS I wouldn't spend nearly 800€ on it. If you can, compare your S7E's 3D performance to a Snapdragon 820's. It's no secret that the 820 has better 3D performance in benchmarks but what I'm experiencing is not in the tolerance range.

If you're on mobile use this link for the GIF comparing various FPS measurements.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] xdathekilljoy:
Yeah that camera to gallery issue with the note 4 was odd. That was the worst thing I noticed though. It had to have been a glitch cause the gallery opened just fine or switching to other apps.

---------- Post added at 02:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 AM ----------

It's pretty snappy. The root has things act up a tiny bit at times but that's a while other story.

On its own it was super fast and 95% time on root is almost the same
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Buddy Revell:
Unfortunately, my rooted S7 Edge is noticeably more laggy than my rooted Note 4 Developer Edition. The screen and body look so damn nice, though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Strazzi:
Sorry man. Had note 4. Bad fingerprint, not so good camera, and bad software, no waterresistence,... so are you crazey or what. Selling phones for job 6 years, s7 edge best phone since iPhone 3g (at that time nothing get close to it).

Had three iphones, S2,S3, galaxy nexus, Desire HD, Lumia 935, Galaxy s6, Htc M7 and M9, LG G2,G3 and G5, nothing gets as good as S7 EDGE.

I work at Telekom Slovenia and i can tel you that i have allmost every phone that it is on the market here. Put Sim City Buildit on HTC M10, LG G5 and Note 4, with saved game, so alot of stuff to render. S7 EDGE alot smoother then any of them. Coworkers has teasing me that i bought the slowes of them all, after RL gameing, they woulden't beli that it is that much smoother than all others. No kidding. LG representativ come to firm and stood quiet and didn't know what to say.

This phone has an excellent camera, when I go mountain biking I have it cradled in a handlebar mount and it takes great vids, I was thinking of getting a GoPro but this thing works so well I might not have to. A little bit of camera shake over some of the rough stuff but otherwise not bad.

DEPENDS

It all depends on your SD Card Transfer Rate, Use a Fast Class 10 Ultra High Speed 1 or 2 or 3 for upto 80MB/s read speeds and Upto 56MB/s Write Speeds

Do check speeds and class of SD Card Before Buying

cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] CptCrackers:
Yeah, my card is Class 10 UHS3. It caps out around 270MB/s with no data on it in a fast pc reader that CAN ACTUALLY DO UHS 3.

The S7 doesn't have the reader it needs to do those speeds. Cards in the phone cap out at something like 60-80 because that's all the reader can handle.

I've tested it every which way you can. The reader in the phone is slow. The S7 is hamstrung. Consumers demanded sd cards. Samsung gave you SD cards at the expense of much faster internal storage. I'd rather have more fast internal storage (which runs in the 240 range if I recall, I posted test shots in another thread months ago). than endless slow external storage.

It's rough going from my s6 where it was always fast and I didn't have to ever think about where to store stuff to this thing. In this one way: storage capacity and speed - this phone feels like a step backwards. It's however months in, and the memory is almost always filled to around 28-30gb and I'm constantly bogging down and having to shuffle things around. Totally frustrating.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] 10thDmenxn:
well, i don't know about the titanic reference, but this is without a doubt the fastest phone i've ever seen, let alone owned. i must admit, however, i have the exynos variant, not the slower snapdragon820. and of course it is rooted for full control, so not only is it must faster, but also has better power management and memory management. i've yet to have anyone show me "in person" how their phone is as fast as mine, let alone faster.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] harrymills:
I came from an iPhone 6S and as it has double the RAM and and the best droid chipset it's obviously noticeably faster. I've read about setting background process limits and customising the animations to speed things up further but haven't had any need so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] phyoeko:
Hi
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] 1sagain:
Solid Performance

The Exynos chip is fantastic compared to the Snapdragon 820 I experienced in the Note 7.

The phone stays relatively cool even during gaming, good FPS on Asphalt 8.

Apps load and close very quickly (I experienced a split second to a full second lag before on the Snapdragon 820 Note 7 when using hardware keys)

Everything is zippy and fast with a good flow.

As expected, the Exynos 8890 is superior for multitasking, reliability, and solid performance compared to a snapdragon SoC on Touchwiz.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] noxified:
it works quite well!

i'm not surprised for the speed because it's flagship phone. and i'm really loving it!

So should I buy S7 Edge Instant GoPro?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Garcshan:
after the android 7 update my phone is so ****ed up there has been many issue and i already walk in to service center 3 times in 1 month time issue as bellow:

1. lagging like hell

2. battery drain was so drastic

3. line drop

4. unresponsive touch sometimes

5. overall performance was not bad but i think galaxy S5 is better compare to S7Edge android 7.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] :
My international version has "special days" that when they happen the phone laggs so much it is unusable. This happens 1-2 per month. And I dont have many apps installed and I reboot the phone twice per week. Very dissapointed
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] khalladshahin:
my s7 edge was fast but it is starting to overheat and becoming slow over time
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Michele Lindemann:
I'm really happy with the overall speed of the phone, but when i open the play store and update apps, it becomes so laggy idk why :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] abranmuffin:
Long time lurker, first time commenter here. The s7 edge was lightning fast when I first got it. After a couple updates and downloading apps I noticed the speed dropping. I then compared my s7 edge Verizon to my friend's unlocked maxed pixel, and the results were honestly astonishing. The pixel was a good 2-4 times faster than my edge. <All we did was open apps at the same time: The pixel could open and close an app 3 times in the same time the edge could do 1> I was pretty dissapointed, so I came here looking for a better rom and I tried out this rom: " [Rom] [Verizon_TMO_Hybrid_Nougat_Rom_FlashFire_Install][Status Official] by jrkruse"

I tried the app opening test again with my friend and the speed was actually comparable.

So, if you are looking to buy this phone, install that rom if it isnt fast enough. Turn on developer options and set animation scales to off or 0.5x. Guarenteed lightning speed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] spacefanboy9216:
For some reasons, the Phone call interface always has a lag. There seems to be a delay of 2-3 seconds for surfacing the name and number screen. It really annoys me. Anybody facing the same issue? Running Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] GZA1337:
overall the performance is great, finally a good ram management which was a disaster on my S6.

But there is a thing that bothers me. These tiny lag when scrolling. Maybe this is just the interpolation algorithm how touchwiz handles the scrolling... I see it e.g. in the settings activity or the the samsung browser if you touch and scroll slow you can notice a stutter. On Iphone this totally looks different, super smooth (even on an iphone5) ...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] shah22:
Speed decreased since upgrade to nougat
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Amine_Zack:
Still not as fast as an iPhone 6S or 7. BUT for an android device, and for a Samsung device, it is simply awesome !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ksa_:
Same with my S7 Edge. Walking out of office and want to run Google Maps. Everything is very slow. When I turn on the phone it looks like it's doing something. Slow response, jerky scrolling. Need to wait a lot until phone finally is willing to accept my 'ok google' input. Then wait again until maps are ok to open. It literally takes few minutes until this is done. Going to use stopwatch to measure how much it really takes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] CptCrackers:
Check your storage. Once you pass 25 or so it really bugs down. If you have adoptable storage carried over from marshmallow that's a total performance disaster. Move to s8. I couldn't get rid of the s7 fast enough. 32gb is just not enough.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bodomfan:
Really fast phone I think especially with power saving mode off this phone is amazingly fast and does absolutely everything with ease
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Ley:
Great phone, no lags or stutter yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jacky_yo:
U need to fix ur phone. Too many bad apps

---------- Post added at 07:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 AM ----------

Speed increase for me since nougat
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ksa_:
Indeed there was 25.5 GB storage usage. Removed bunch of apps, now the internal usage is 22GB. I don't think this solved the issue.

I don't think I have unreasonably lot of apps. No games or such. Would be happy to troubleshoot if someone guides me where to look at.

So far I blame Nougat, as there was a moment where I start to feel the slowness.

To make it clear: phone is not slow always. Mostly it is sitting in the pocket e.g. when I'm at the office. When walking out I take the phone out and power on/wake. This seems to trigger some (lot of) work. For around 10-60 (closer to 60) seconds phone is slow and unresponsive (waking up?). Then seems to stabilize somewhat. Anyway I'm stupidly waiting for a phone to start instead of driving home. My spouse has the same issue with her S7 Edge. Also blames the update.
