I actually love the phone lol. It's one of my favorites next to the iPhone SE ðŸ˜Ž
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] DC101:
I will ever buy a samsung product ever again in my life. I just spent 500€ on a very slim compact camera. It simply does nothing else.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] destz0r:
what?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] DC101:
what is it that you struggle to understand?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] destz0r:
your s7 does "simply nothing else"?

Galaxy S7 is a piece of "S H I T" ! :-|

No CyanogenMod For Galaxy S7 === No More Samsung For Ever
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] DC101:
I just came from a z3c that was equally fast in everyday use, had better battery life and half the price.

My DS4 doesn't work and there is no image output from the usb port simply because samsung doesn't want to.

Locked crappy software full of unremovable bloat.

I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT A ****ING IPHONE IF I WANTED ONE

At the end of the day the only thing that I really feel is worth is the camera, which is fantastic to say the least.

Well, today I had to replace my beloved LG G3. It was my favorite phone of all Android's that I owned (LG Vortex, X2, RAZR, RAZR MAXX, RAZRHD, LG G3). With the special VZW was having starting today to get a brand new S7 for $10/month with no trade-in, the G3 dying on me last night did so with perfect timing.

So far, I love the S7. My daughter got one back in June when her iPhone went dead and she wanted to go Android. That was because of her boyfriend. She never would listen to dear old dad. ;)

I must say, I can tell a difference though between the G3 and this phone. The responsiveness and smoothness in the desktop alone is an improvement. Never realized how sluggish the G3 actually was. And as great as the G3 camera was, this phone definitely beats it out of the water. Not sure how I lived through those 2 years, but that still doesn't destroy my love for what was my favorite phone.

The S7 definitely is up there with my G3. Since it's just my first day, I'll wait and see how things go, but I expect my love to grow for this phone even more.

I definitely had a hard time today picking between the S7 and the Moto Z. But after reading so many reviews of different pluses and minuses between the two, the Samsung S7 got me on 4 things:

1. MicroUSB vs. USB-C - I didn't feel like having to buy new car chargers, etc. I can keep the ones I have and continue to use them.

2. No headphone jack. Sorry, I have a nice pair of earbuds that work and sound great. Plus, my car doesn't have Blu-Tooth so I have no way to stream music that way.

3. Add-ons for Moto Z were actually a turn off as I read about them. They are limited to the Moto Z and are expensive and things I really don't need. Plus, as much as Moto promised to ensure they would work with later models, you can't always trust what they say.

4. Water resistance certification for the S7 as opposed to splash resistance for the Moto Z.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] iBolski:
Love this phone so far. Battery life is pretty comparable to what I had with my LG G3. The screen looks fantastic. Very vibrant and the pictures the camera takes are wonderful. Love the finger-print ID and just the smoothness of how responsive it is. Probably the best Android phone I've had to-date. Can't wait to get Nougat for this one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] kamranhaghighi:
Cons:

The display is just awful. it's plain torture. the purple ghosting.....

Performance isn't good (even on exynos) frames drop.

Ergonomics.

DAC isn't great.

Fragile

physical buttons feel terrible.

Front camera but I never use it.

Price is a joke compared to oneplus 3-3t even long after launch.

Storage... 32GB? really....

Pros

Battery life is just amazing with a dark theme.

Edge looks super cool :c

SWEET MOTHER OF GOD THAT CAMERA SPECIALLY IN DARK ENVIRONMENTS.

camera is super quick to launch. takes less than a second.

fingerprint scanner is quick!

themes are an amazing addition. most of the top ones are trash but material dark is amazing.

Game tuner is good. I can change resolution - texture - frame cap. see FPS

In summary. Not very happy with my phone. but my only other Options are iPhone 7 plus (not enough money and IOS). and LG v20 (bootloop + camrea cracks) and HTC 10 (Wifi + NFC issues, yellow display reports) so I had no other choice!

Hi everyone,

I had an S6 for year and I really loved it.

Work gave us all iphone 7 and i ****ing hate it. ( Well its got a ****ing awesome camera i must say ).

I am thinking of going back to Android and get the S7. i have a couple of questions though maybe you guys can help :

- How is the camera IN LOW LIGHT ? on my s6 it was horrible. white balance indoors is awful, i would always get a yellowish taint all over the photo. But outdoor was brilliant.

-Do you still have the annoying warning message when you want increase the volume to the max ? I know its a minor thing but seriously samsung why ?

-How is the speaker volume ? I hear its not that good. The iphone 7 has really awesome dual speakers, i gotta give crapple credits here.

Other than this , am seriously thinking of going back to Android, i miss the flexibility so much and the S7 seems like the best option.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Tech geek:
The camera is better than the s6 and iphone 7 in lowlight, it does have yellow tint sometimes, and yes it does have the annoying message when u increase the volume, speaker volume is ok nothing to go wow about
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] StereoSteo:
It depends on the camera you have. I noticed the Sony camera has a warmer tint than the isocell which my exynos has.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Tech geek:
the s7 exynos and qualcomm are using the same sony sensor
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] StereoSteo:
My brothers black exynos has a Sony camera, but my gold exynos has an isocell. Screenshot attached.

Had to upload it elsewhere because I kept getting server error 500

I have golden flat exynos and it have isocel sensor too
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] amchandr:
Love my S7 phone so far. I am not here to compare with any other phone. Each and every phone has got its own advantage/disadvantage. Just eagerly awaiting Nougat update inorder to downsize the screen resolution, as I see the only disadvantage is that screen is draining the battery so quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] KB!:
I like it well enough but I am rooted and running a custom ROM as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] KB!:
Rooted and running Stang5litre's ROM just in case anyone was wondering since I didn't make it clear in my last post.

Oh, I'm on Verizon as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] SP1966:
I just picked up a black SD S7 on Saturday after my beloved LG G2 went for a swim. :crying:

First a few thoughts on why I loved the G2:

- You would be surprised just how much more screen there is between the S7's 5.1" and the G2's 5.2" screen. The G2 had almost no border on the sides with limited borders top and bottom so the phone itself was slightly wider but generally similar in size. Also the body being plastic matters not because it lived in a Diztronic case from day one as will the S7.

- I loved the power and volume buttons located on the back of the phone, strange at first but so natural after a couple days!

- LG's crappy skinning of Android led me to root it upon receipt and load CyanogenMod which I loved! My previous phone was the G2's sibling, the original Nexus 5 on which I grew to love stock android and CM added some nice available tweeks without messing with the Google experience.

- Running CM allowed me to install the Pixel Launcher from the Play Store and it is a much nicer experience relative to the Google Now launcher I'm using on the S7.

Now a few thoughts on the S7:

+ First and foremost, I can rest easy in the knowledge that it is highly unlikely that the S7 will die a similar death as my G2 did!

+ The screen is beautiful even if it's 0.01" too small! :p

+ The overall size is perfect, small enough that even with a case it's still easily used with one hand but large enough for a good sized screen!

+ The build quality is simply amazing even if I don't care for easily damaged glass being used for the back.

+ The camera is way better than the G2, especially in video mode!

+ The G2 with only 2GB or ram did have a tendency to slow down which so far the S7 with 4GB hasn't.

+ The SD820 vs SD800, no contest.

- One negative is the Samsung skin, it's not bad or overly intrusive but all else being equal give me stock Android.

- Last MASSIVE negative is all the flippen Samsung apps taking up storage space and RAM that I cannot delete. Even with the Samsung skin being relatively good this is almost reason alone to go with a custom ROM.

I'm torn between keeping it stock and rooting it and installing LineageOS when it's released for the S7. At this point I think I'll stick with stock and see what the Nougat update looks like. The other issue is Samsung's camera app is pretty awesome so I would hate to lose that with a new ROM.

All in all this is far and away the best phone I've ever owned, and in fact is much better IMO than my daughters iPhone 6S, not even close.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Aavion:
(nearly) Perfect :)

I still don't like Samsung's own applications very much. Maybe the Nougat-Update is going to satisfy *fingers crossed*
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Kroniq:
In the last 4 years I've owned a galaxy s2 (t989), motor x, nexus 5, nexus 6 and 5x and it's nice to finally have a phone that you don't need to root or flash a custom rom. Camera is awesome, I get 5 hrs SOT daily, the 1 speaker even sounds ok, feels great in hand and also has a ton of accessories, and it's fast as ****. Hardly any lag whatsoever, the possibility to run the g930u firmware is there so you don't have to have the sprint bloatware. Overall I love the phone, just wish the bootloader was unlocked. If that's the only thing I dislike (besides the price) then I will still recommend this phone to a friend
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] iBolski:
Best phone I've ever had. Fast, lag free, and looks damn good in gold. And Samsung pay is great. Love being able to use it anywhere. Android Pay is nice, but not every place accepts it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] sandrinopi:
Honestly I can't complain with my flat S7 after five months, it also works very well with my Gear S3.

But I still miss my LG G4, its curved design and the buttons on the back; I make a standard use of the phone (I have an Iphone 6 for work) and I didn't yet find any clear superiority of the S7 over the G4 for the average user.

But many G4 had bootlop problems (mine also, and being rooted I couldn't ask for replacement), and it will be hard for me to trust LG phones again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] phoneinf:
I really love the camera on Samsung's GALAXY lineup but sadly the S7 is a bit of a fingerprint and dust magnet on the back. They should re-do the phone again so you can remove the back and replace the battery also :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] halloo7:
I love my Galaxy S6 edge and my Galaxy S7. I've got both of them and they're so beautiful.. they could be sister and brother and their software is very similar
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Mayex:
Is there any custom rom (near clean 7.1.1) with same camera quality as stock for s7?

I'm undecided whether stay with oneplus 3t or sell it and buy s7, but I can't stand TouchWiz. Is there any reliable custom rom based on los/aosp with same camera quality as stock and good battery?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] iBolski:
Well, I've had my Verizon Samsung S7 since the end of December 2016 after it replaced my beloved G3. My oldest daughter replaced her iPhone with the S7 back in June of 2016. We both absolutely love them. And after the Nougat update, we still love them even more!

Now you can add one more person to the list. My wife recently finally upgraded from a non-smartphone to the Moto Z Force because it was on sale for $10/month with no trade in. After about 2 weeks, she said she didn't like it. It was too big for her small hands and it was too heavy, and that's without a case. So today, we started the return process and then Verizon helped out and ordered the Samsung S7 Gold for her so we could get it on sale at $24/month.

All I can say is, this phone is great. The camera takes better pictures than my G3 did, and the G3 wasn't too shabby at the time with pictures. I also love Samsung Pay. That is such a wonderful and useful option to have. I love the fingerprint security as well. And the overall smoothness of this phone is something I didn't even have with the G3.

So now, my family is Samsung S7 Gold happy. The lone holdout is our youngest daughter who just upgraded to an iPhone 7 and she loves it. We tried, but we can't convert her. But, she does have a lot invested with music and such, plus she has a Mac Notebook as well, so as long as she's happy, that's what counts.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Djuganight:
Nice device but way to expensive for what is offering and comparing with what we have in the market these days, such as Xiaomi Mi5s, etc
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] lndulgence:
- solid battery life after updating to 7.0.

- stunning camera images

- snappy performance

- build quality

- exynos, stock, debloated

This is my first Samsung phone and I must say that I am pretty impressed and might go with Samsung for my future phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Cyn1:
Very solid phone. Fast and excellent features.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] KeepApps:
Using it for a while and it's a great device.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] jb.traveller:
Had my Sim free S7 (Exynos/G930F) a week now coming from a five year old S3 ( rooted ) and really can't think how any new phone could better it. I showed it to my two Apple loving sons and the only thing they could say was " does the battery catch fire " with real envy in their eyes. Ultra fast scrolling, best camera out there, unbelievable screen, expandable storage. I could go on. Five stars and more.

Also it works really well with my Gear S3, all notifications pass and Gear app much smoother.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] thegreatkazoo:
alot better than my iphone 6 plus, ill tell you what!!!!!

i still have an ipod classic but i love the s7 way more than any iphone i had.

also have a pebble time and it works with my phone exactly like i need it to.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] m3mb3r:
Loving too!

I just bought this with nice deal (400€ or about 450$) new from my operator and I am especially happy with still camera quality and battery endurance.

Because I live in dark north, camera quality is very important to me.

+Wireless charging inbuilt

+Water resistance

+Camera and manual controls for this

+Overall quality

+Batterys endurance

.+Not so slippery that I thought

-Fingerprint magnet in back, at least in gold version

-The fingerprint sensor could be always better

-4K videos not as stunning, at least theres always FHD@60fps what is nice one

-Not easy to change the battery or pay this date about 60€

Ps. forgot to mention the possibility to lower screen resolution, which gives you an extra battery life! :)

Overall, I think this is the best money can buy in about 500€ status, with quaranteed 2 year warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] MrEcko666:
Overall I really enjoy the Galaxy S series.

When I did finally upgrade for "Flip-Phone" to a "Smart-Phone", it was a very inexpensive Alcatel that I purchased in full from Walmart.

I had always said I'm never going to spend over $300(USD) on a phone, I have my computers. Well the very first "Smart-Phone" was a Galaxy S5 I had purchased from a friend for about $70(USD).

A month later I broke the phone and went back to Alcatel (this time only spending $30(USD) at Walmart) and immediately I was disappointed and missed the abilities of the Galaxy S series phones. I then purchased a pre-owned Galaxy S6 $350(USD) Verizon. Then about 8 months later I again purchased a pre-owned Galaxy S7 $500(USD) Verizon.

Neither the S7 or S6 is an Edge, but still I love them both.

However, I cannot wait to purchase the Galaxy S8E+ (64gb<).

Until then I will continue to cherish the S6 & S7
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] fullbloom:
The S series has been a hit from the start for me. I'm really looking forward to getting the S8 too but I must resist... for now... Pretty soon you'll be saying "I'll never spend over $1000 on a smartphone" :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Zakelinho:
After reading this topic .... yep, I'm getting this phone. Tried S8 and not really an improvement over S7. Got a deal at my operator for S7 -> "24 x 15 €" and my buddy will take the contract :D

Right now I'm on INT Sammy S6 and the battery really isnt THAT bad, but since S7 has bigger one + better processor ... hoping for a better SoT and standby than S6.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] centralohioguy:
This has been a great phone. Beautiful screen and excellent performance. Battery life is very good. I use my phone for work taking signatures, pictures and processing clients and it works from 530am until I go to bed on one charge. Wifi and signal connectivity is outstanding. The size is perfect for my uses, not too big not too small it fits perfectly in my shirt pocket. The stock camera app is lacking but that's really my only gripe.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Aimless Rambler:
Doing my part to keep the love alive for this device (last post was in October).

I've been a Galaxy S fanboy since my Captivate days. I've owned over 20 different phones since, still have most of them (LG's, Samsungs, Motorola's). At some point we should just admit to our addictions I suppose. It is a strange hobby ... according to my wife.

The S7 (a phone I got cheap and fixed, how I've obtained the majority) is, so far, one of my favorites. I've yet to root or customize it (beyond converting the G930V to G930U) but as a daily driver in which I depend on for work, can't beat it. When the flash bug hits I'll tinker with it eventually.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] iBolski:
Over a year with my S7 and I still love it. Best Android phone I've ever had. Rock solid and still pretty darned responsive. I've never rooted it because I've had no reason to for me (plus I want to use Samsung Pay which is great).

My oldest daughter got her's almost 2 years ago. My wife finally dumped her flip phone. The MotoZ was on sale for $10/month with no trade-in so she went for that. It was too big for her hands and she said it made her hands hurt. She decided to pay extra for the S7, so now we have three of them in our family. Youngest is on iPhone 7. Too in-grained with Facetime, group messenging, etc with her friends who are all on iPhone. As long as it works for her, no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] centralohioguy:
One and a half years with this phone.

This has been a wonderful phone. I have the G 930 F. The screen size is perfect for me and it's still fast as the day I got it. I have no regrets about buying this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] waingro808:
10 months with my S7 so far. Great camera, screen, and battery life. Much love!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] mccoffein:
I love the performance :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] siliconaddict:
Best smartphone ever

The 930F S7 is for me is the best smartphone I've owned so far. Perfect size, great screen, great camera, very fast especially with Android 8 Oreo, ample memory, great battery. Very satisfied owner.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] KalROFL:
Don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but this phone is a backup for me. My Pixel XL died a few months ago and we happened to have a spare Galaxy S7 (Snapdragon) lying around. I'm not fond of it. The screen is too small, the performance is slow, and the software is locked down. Still, as far as backup phones, it could be worse, and I understand why someone might really love this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Djuganight:
Only if the Snapdragon version is slow, because I have the Exynos version and is quite snappy even after 2 years of heavy usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] waingro808:
Yeah, I have 1 Exynos and 1 Snapdragon, and the Exynos is smoother/snappier. But there are some ROMs from jrkruse that make the Snapdragon snappy and give you permanent or temp root. He has a thread in each carrier's S7 forum. I did this on my Verizon S7 https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/development/rom-t3757884

Runs fast and I have dual speaker mod now :)

You're a power user. Can the Samsung Galaxy S7 keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Samsung Galaxy S7. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] worf_1977:
Since it has been 3 days only from official launch, we should wait for the scene to begin it's journey.

I'm pretty sure that it will have same support as S6, and Edge variants.

BUT, there is always a "but", international one has been finally shipped with Exynos Social.

Has to be seen if it has community support (I wish it would!)

Too early.... even i purchased it first day is available....

Keep it stock for a while.... then if someone not beats me try to port edge panel from bigger brother...

People still waiting for more reviews, but in my opinion is far more then excellent compared to my S5(even no removable battery.... let's see how performs but as for now seems lot better than S5)

Digging here and there, seems we have a lot of hidden features to try to enable, so our devs will have lot to do.... then add what sammy removed here(lockscreen effects, waether, pedometer asf...)

Give it few weeks, work will start, know a dev will upgrade.... a great dev hahahaha
