Read back to my original post, already ahead of you on it haha
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] *Detection*:
lol nice, yea I was always putting mine on a soft cloth when it was on the desk because of the camera, same with my old S5, and when I was holding the S7 I was constantly touching the sides of the screen by mistake due to the thinner bezel, so bought a Spigen Rugged Armor for the S7 which cured both problems, and also made it a lot more grippy to hold

That photo makes me feel lazy, been getting back into lifting lately but still finding excuses to sit at the PC instead of train :D

I have the s6. Will miss the s7, the look of that phone is fabulous
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Makebetterlife:
S7 i think is the most coolest thing id ever had.

But my hand is not fitting to keep the phone safe :crying::crying::crying::crying:

The Gorilla Glass is not Scratch Resistant than my old Galaxy S4.

It's the 7th day I'm using the phone. I used the phone like it's my new baby. Still I could see some really minor scratches on the front glass. If putting in the pocket gives me such scratches, Samsung and Corning you both done a bad joke. The phone is already fragile with the glass back. Now, If I have to worry about the front glass, it's not good.

Also, You have to be very careful while holding it as it slippery.

The look is premium but...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] vicioks:
Super su
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] memtronic:
Screams premium. It feels just a bit more premium than Sony Z5. In hands it feels expensive.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] fenvy:
then maybe iphone is for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] bmaggot:
Yeah, the screen is super scratchy. Otherwise everything is great.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Ray Adams:
I have both iPhone 6S and S7. Samsung did excellent job with S6 and S7. Now phones look and fill premium!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] dongdong6968:
Perhaps you have defects, as this phone has been to hell and back in the past month and it still doesn't have a scratch. I have a case protecting the back and sides, but the front is vulnerable.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] liteon163:
The S7 is one of the nicest feeling Android phones I've ever had, although I'm not a fan of glass on the back. The phone feels nice enough I've gotten more premium feeling cases for it than other phones. Right now I have two Obliq cases, the Slim Meta and Flex Pro. Both feel better than anything else I've ever tried.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] proxxy:
Good feeling but back is huge fingerprint.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] lorsban:
Feels great but I'm afraid of impacts now since it's all glass.

Past samsung galaxies were plastic with maybe a metal trim. Those were bulletproof and didn't need a case.

This version requires protection. Good thing it's thin enough that a jelly case won't alter feel too much and vastly improves grip.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] marvad.one:
It seems that the power button is hanging in the middle and is functioning as a flip switch..

Sometimes it starts to operate as a push button, but the next time I use it's seems to be back at flipswitch..

The glass is very scratchy.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] malakagr:
Hey guys,

I have a problem with my s7. The home button get scratchy on the left side of it. I've been using it normally with a case. So no way it got the scratches from a table or something else. I've read a lot about the scratchy home buttons on galaxy s7, but here's my question: has someone experience what to do or what we can say to samsung or maybe did u got your replaced or something. Idk it's just screwed up guys u pay so much money for a good looking phone and then it scratches by daily usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] marvad.one:
It's a known issue for Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] greenespeed:
S7 Kills iPhone

I did quite a bit of research before my girlfriend bought her last two phones and the Galaxy consistently ranks as the best phone for the common user. The S6 made some odd choices that compromised the user experience, but the S7 is solid and better than ever. Battery life, performance, size, user experience - in my mind the S7 is the ultimate iPhone killer (for a power user I might suggest upgrading to the Note).

As far as quality feel, go to your local retailer and hold one in your hand for yourself! It feels good in the hand, solid enough, fast as all hell. Yes get a screen protector and a case, but all around this phone is quite sturdy.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] malakagr:
I know man, but what can we/I do ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] marvad.one:
The scratches won't affect the function of the scanner.

Samsung has to come with an official statement, I'm sure they are aware of this issue. And I agree this happens to fast for such a "high end" phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] malakagr:
Yes man the scanner works flawlessly but u know what I mean. It's just ugly and so much money for nothing.

They could replace it for free and hope that it's only on some products.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] marvad.one:
It's on all Galaxy S7 products...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Howlbeck:
Well, sturdy...

I know, you shouldn't drop a $$$-phone, but it happens sometimes. Didn't have any case or screen protection when it happened, so I guess I'm lucky. I have pretty dents on the upper/lower left/right edges of the frame. The dents did not affect the screen, but it was close...

Now I'm running a Spigen, still looking for a nice screen protector/second glass.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Howlbeck:
I mean this on all edges

...otherwise: quite happy with Samsung again, they did pretty much everything right with this one. My last Samsung was the S4., switched from a Sony Z3C to the S7.

I'm not complaining about glass and general look, use & feel - but hey... glass at the back ? Come on. It can't be that hard to design a back frame that neither slips, breaks or draws scratches like hell. I know that the industry for cases etc needs to live as well, but...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Howlbeck:
As for screen protectors, this is my z3c. Maybe it got in my pockets along with keys, but without a 2nd screen... Toast.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] VortaL:
I think that the S7 is made of fine materials, glass makes a very good impression.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] hella356:
A month of use, upgraded from Galaxy S4. To me, the S4 has the better materials & form factor. I think the S7 has the best looking design I've ever seen in a phone, but this doesn't really matter to me, and the fragile glass back and dent-prone metal frame demand a case, made even more important by the slipperiness of the back glass and the curved rear edges. The curved edges feel slightly more comfortable on my fingertips, but offer decreased grip. The rear corners (where the curved edges taper to full width at the top and bottom) dig into my hand a bit - not horribly bad, but less comfortable than the S4. The substantial weight increase also adds a bit to the poorer handling of the S7. I never used an S4 case in 3 years, but the gorgeous S7 design requires a case, defeating the whole purpose of that beautiful design. A case adds unwanted physical size to the phone. The good battery life I'm getting and the excellent charging speeds have made losing removable battery fairly easy to swallow, although I'd still prefer removable. I much prefer having the headphone jack on top, although this is more of personal preference.

On the plus side, I like the S7's all-black home button. Water resistance & fingerprint sensor are a very nice bonus.

And in all aspects of performance, the S7 is the clear winner, basically doing everything better and quicker. The extra 16GB of storage is great.

Had they made a variant that was essentially an S4 with all the S7 internals, that would be perfect to me. But since root was achieved, the S7 is my daily driver and the S4 is mothballed as a spare, so despite its shortcomings, the S7 is a worthy successor.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Q-Logic:
I got white one with Spigen Crystal Shell. In addition I wear it in a leather belt purse for stronger protection. No screen protector ever used with S7 or any other phone before.

I realized that flash and hart rate monitor cover is made of soft plastic and is VERY prone to scratches, so you gotta be very careful with it. I got fine micro scratches on it after day 2 or 3 and absolutely no clue what caused them.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] iamzombie:
Well I was in love with my S7, until the rear camera lens/cover spontaneously decided to shatter. I swear to god this phone has never been dropped, but somehow the clear cover for the rear camera broke.

I've had the phone in a Spiegen case since day 1, and it's never been out of it. When I was searching for repair parts, a lot of people seemed to suggest this was a common problem dating back to the S6 and S6E?

Either way, great phone other than this weird flaw?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Austin98989:
Love the way it feels. Sadly i'm using a Lifeproof fre case so i don't get to feel the phone as much. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] griffin_1:
How's everybody s7 holding up in terms of durability/falls? I have been reading a bit more and have read reports from falls at very low heights and even glass cracking from the heat. I wanted to make the s7 my next phone for a while but the sense im getting is that it might not be as durable as my s5
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Drumfc:
Good feeling and quality but back is huge fingerprint and very very soft.

I'm very happy with this phone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Frost009:
I would say go for a tempered glass protector if you are worried about the glass cracking. Also definitely get a case, as much as it feels better to use without a case, the back being glass as well makes me worried especially when I'm outside. Coming from the s5, the s7 feels much better in terms of build quality. Also, the sides can be dented if you are not careful and drop it easily.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] beankid:
Has anyone had a problem with the home button getting scratched up or the paint coming off? I was attaching a screen protector to mine and the sticky adhesive pieces used to align it where on the home button. When I removed it, the paint came up. Nothing I could have done to avoid this besides never put that stuff there in the first place.....I was following the directions. Looks like the paint isn't that good on the home button......
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] davidmlondon:
The home button is awful. I have had the phone for a couple of months. Had it in a pocket with nothing else and when I removed it I discovered two deep scratches on it. There are plenty of web pages confirming that Samsung have not protected the home button properly. I emailed Samsung about this and I was told that it's cosmetic and not their problem. The rest of the phone feels premium but the home button is a real let down. I have been looking for a home button protector but they all seem to lose finger print capability. I had an S4 Mini before this phone which I had no problems with. I will definitely do more investigation in the future before trusting a brand based on previous experience. Don't get me wrong, I think the phone is great, camera is fantastic, screen is beautiful (though finding a screen protector for the 2.5D curved edge is proving an expensive exercise) but I would have looked elsewhere had I waited a while after release to discover this glaring flaw in an otherwise excellent phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] lunnr:
Agree, the home botton isnt great in any way.

I just got myself a Spigen Rugged Armor Case. I can realy recommend this case! It's probably the best looking case i have seen on a phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] bastage:
I am a big guy with big hands, but have always preferred a small phone. With my s7 (flat) and the thin fir spigen case on it I really have zero complaints. In fact I think it is about the most comfortable phone to 1 handed surf on I have ever had.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] insang-droid:
Have to say glad i didnt go to N6p route. Its perfect size.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] InterFace86:
Too slippery. Bought the OEM clear cover because of that. Its also slippery but makes the overall feel a bit better + i can place it to table or slide it with no fear scratching it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] superleeds27:
Feels a lot nicer than the S6 in hand!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Bright.Light:
I miss the menu button!

Some apps do not have an on screen menu button, so the device needs one.

(I rooted, so I could use a rebutton to make a long-click home the menu. And, no, the long-press back won't work with every app!!)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] 52brandon:
it's kind of an impossible question. Everyone's hands are different. I can palm a basketball with long fingers on a comparatively smaller palm, so I can navigate damn near any phone short of 6" single-handedly with ease. And even then, the Huawei Nexus 6P I can use one-handed fairly easily. But the Moto Nexus 6, not so much. But I still do prefer the smaller phones for pocket comfort, as I dislike belt clips and holsters. So I chose the S7 over the Edge. And I honestly LOVE it. No problems whatsoever with the size in my hand or pocket. I haven't put a case on it yet. Honestly, I don't want to, no for the sake of size, I just don't wanna cover this beauty up. But I will be buying a thin one for it shortly. Likely before the end of the day honestly
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] liteon163:
I prefer on-screen buttons, especially when it leads to a smaller chin. I also dislike the back and menu buttons being opposite of what they are in the OS. I don't care for the glass back, either. Otherwise, the phone feels fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rchrdcrg:
I had a Note 5, but after a couple years of phablets I decided I wanted a normal sized phone, and the S7 is perfect. It really feels great, and I only use a case occasionally.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] g1-and-only:
As for me, I too have big hands perfect for the note series and I've had the note 2,3,4 and now the s7 edge and regular s7 as I'm not a fan of the note 5. I will be trading in my s7 edge for the note 4 again as I can't stand the edges. Without a case the phone is unusable for those times when you just want to go naked. I always touch the sides even with a case on it. The s7 is great and I love the feel of it in hand. The sides are just to pronounced on the edge. They were better made on last year's model I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] andycohui:
Feel great but sometimes it is a bit slippery like all metal casing phones...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] droidcol:
It's extremely slippery, and I'm not a small sweaty hands kind of guy... But overall the best smartphone ever, so far. BTW the OP, LOL!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] fredrik_wendt:
I accidentally trigger icons/actions which are closer to the bottom of the screen and far out on both left and right. This is when I hold the phone and operate it with one hand. I've been a Nexus 5 user for two years (several Android phones before that), and the issue I'm having is simply because the screen on S7 is raised above the phone's edge and curved.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] durveshthorve433:
same happens with me, not always though, very rare, but still a prob!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] thevibas:
Well, i always gotta be warned because phone is pretty slippery and display is expensive as hell, as well as it's back
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Andrei Vlad:
Great

For me it feels quite great in hand. It's small and comfortable, because of the rounded glass at the back. It's a little slippery but it's the best phone i've ever used.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] dandv:
The placement of the Back button in the lower right makes it awkward to operate the phone with only the right hand. You have to contort your right thumb, or slide the phone around, to reach the Back button, which I use more frequently than the application switcher button. Stock Android has the soft Back button to the left and the task switcher to the right, for good reason.

Also, the power key is too low on the right edge of the phone. S7 Edge had it at the right height.

Any of you with a Note 5 been able to confirm the suggestion by some on YouTube that say the Note 5 is brighter than the S7/Edge?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Ohhdayumm:
I currently own a note 5 is does get really bright and no issue outside but never used a s7 before
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] phoenix_rizzen:
I tend to find the auto-brightness is too bright in many situations, including outside under the noonday sun.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Overstew:
This is actually a perk that made me reconsider this over the HTC 10. The brightness outside is phenomenal on this device.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] fullbloom:
Despite the low-ish brightness output I'm pleasantly surprised with this
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] ant0nius:
Superb here in sunny Los Angeles. My secondary is a Note3 with Phronesis Note7 MM port, and the "Outdoor Mode" in the Display settings is just ridiculous bright. I do notice the absence of this feature in stock S7 firmware. Fantastic nonetheless!!!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] TheMadScientist:
my note 5 seems brighter but both are very impressive in the sunlight
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] ciprigeorgiu:
When I'm outdoor in extreme sunlight the phone's brightness goes all the way up and then it enters a mode where colours seems washed out. But only if the light is very strong. Does your S7 behave the same?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] *Detection*:
Shine a torch at the light sensor and it'll do the same
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] ciprigeorgiu:
Yes, i know, i tried and you are right: it does the same. But is this normal? Does yours do the same?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] *Detection*:
Of course, it is the extra brightness setting for bright sun readability

Love the phone but the display has a strong blue tint. The white is OK only when looking perpendicular at the phone, anything more than 5 degrees angle and it's getting a blue tint.

Not sure if it's worth replacing whit a new one, I compared mine with some others in stores and all are about the same. Only the edge has better colors at angles.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] kutulu32:
I aggree with you about the blue tint . In my phone is also visible but not that strong.

But in general it has the best display i ever saw in a phone!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Balian67:
I don't know what you all are talking about because when I was shooting a video outside the colors on my screen were so close to the actual colors of the things I was recording that it was crazy. Closer then any other phone I have ever used. Period. Not commenting on the rest of the stuff, but I was impressed with that
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] KoRoZIV:
Just open Google page in your browser then look at it perpendicular and increase the angle slowly. Mine is getting blue tint pretty fast.
