I've always used chrome beta on my devices but this time, I gave the stock browser a shot. It's amazing and absolutely smooth. The browser is so well optimized for this phone that it blows chrome out of the water.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] squallz506:
Lightning+ browser is smooth as butter and consumes minimal battery with amoled display mode and inverted grayscale rendering.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] apprentice:
When it works it feels smooth and fast. There is an issue with scrolling, the screen is over sensitive and you do face a lot of accidental key presses. This has been reported by a fair number of people.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jeffonion:
The stock browser actually very smooth. About same as my iPhone 6s Plus. Here is my test https://youtu.be/hq4exPxLSrY
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] entropism:
Chrome's latest update to V.49 fixed the scrolling lag for me entirely.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Zeffir:
The default browser is remarkably smooth, Chrome on the other hand is kind of hit or miss. It's smooth for pages you frequent often though.

Edit: just loaded up Firefox with uBlock and it blows both stock and chrome out of the water. Definitely the most smooth experience. It's really only lacking a nice material theme/status bar.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] nrfitchett4:
stock browser has an ad block that you can download through the samsung store. That's what I'm using for my daily browsing and using chrome only for sites I need to get to that are bookmarked, like bills and school sites that are not ad infested.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] daLareid:
Butter smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jacobgong:
I really do not recommend Chrome unless you use a Nexus device, stock browsers almost always perform better performance and efficiency wise. I just use stock, use it lacks some features and it doesn't even sync my bookmarks but it's not like I browse my daily readings on the phone, so it doesn't matter for me. When I browse the links almost always come from somewhere else so I don't need my favorites.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Astraphic:
scrolling smoothness on Skype is terrible. Even after loading Skype so that all the contacts are loaded, scroling through my chats is very laggy. However, the app itself is not.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] prfraczek:
No it is not terrible. I can say it is fu... smooth!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] spinout257:
I have no issues with scrolling. But my wife won't trade phones with me. So I'm stuck with the S6.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Willyman:
Stock browser is great, no issues there. Some apps still exhibit some slightly imperfect scrolling behaviour (e.g. Facebook is not perfect, but much better than my Note 5 ever was). With GPU profiling on, it's easy to see that there are still frame drops (on the SD820 version at least).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ssgunner20:
After reading this thread i decided to give the stock brower another chance. Soon as i got my phone 2 wks i switched to chrome. Been using chrome for a while. I must say its faster at times. I did notice the lag on chrome just now. So im going to try the stock one again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Rickyzx:
I'm random use the phone. Not only scrolling I've no issue about any smoothness. All are OK! It's very well for use.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] #Liut#:
I've got any scrolling issue. IMO it's the best till now for smooth
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] naryraza:
You can actually sync bookmarks between pc on chrome and samsung stock browser on your phone. You juste have to install the samsung sync chrome extension, link to your samsung account and activate internet sync under samsung account on the phone. It doesn't work as good as chrome native syncing, but it works quite well (after it's finished syncing, of course).

I recently switched to stock browser and i'm happy with it, ad blocker, finger print security, smoothness, and it seems to be al lot more battery-friendly than chrome
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] drummerman:
We'll never get a consensus on this. Its as much about browser performance as it is about personal preference :)

Unless you do a side by side with the exact web page loading (and all other things being exactly equal) ... Comparisons are pointless IMHO.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] naryraza:
What's lightning please ? and about inverted grayscale, i guess you have to be rooted right ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] darkshadow1997:
For Me Latest Stock Rom, The Scrolling Is Smooth For All But Contacts When You Have A Lot I.E 200.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] sahil sharma:
I don't know about scrolling, but the extra sensitive screen makes it impossible to view web pages or simply use the phone. The accidental clicks and press of the navigation button make it a pain to use the phone. I need to be extra careful as not press a link or the buttons by mistake.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] squallz506:
It's a browser. And no root needed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cuezaireekaa:
Are you on a older firmware? I remember first getting this device and the accidental selection of links drove me crazy. Especially when just scrolling up or down and a "selectable" button was under my finger; it would select it.

It got fixed two updates in (I thing PC8) and now it never accidentally selects things. T-Mobile rooted tekhd v2
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] sahil sharma:
I am on APF2 and i am still struggling. I am not sure if this is how android is supposed to work. I am coming from iOS and maybe thats why i am having the difficulty adjusting to it. But it truly is a pain, esp the navigation button. They should have been a little insensitive to pressure.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] stormonya:
Stock browser is the absolute best....fast and reliable......all features are useful.. ....especially fingerprint saves and security is a major key for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ErAndrea:
Me too. Stock broswer is the best.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] prfraczek:
but what about the sync with chrome. Some of us need history sync, page left on PC can be open with phone, bookmarks sync. The plugin for chrome is just useless! it makes massive mess with bookmarks sync between pc and mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Myrrhman:
Any one have the same choppy scrolling as I have in the recent app drawer.

For me, if I scroll, it jumps from app to app instead of smooth scrolling. Wondering if that's a feature or me messing up with some xposed modules.

So basically: Your recent app scrolling

Jumpy or smooth ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] prfraczek:
Smooth for me
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Myrrhman:
Thanks.

Yeah, little more research and would not have had to ask this question. Oops.

So the problem was (probably) the animation speeds in developer settings. Had them on 0, but now back to 0.5 and a reboot fixed it :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] 10thDmenxn:
no. i've got 38 apps running in the background in the recent app drawer, and it slides from start to finish like butter, in either direction. but again, i have the exynos variant, which has much better memory management, and power management than the snapdragon820.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Masterfellow:
Yes, this is a feature in many launchers. You can see as you scroll and as it shows letters, it will select the app starting by that letter. Even though I don't have this, I remember that I had it somewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] harrymills:
Using stock ROM and scrolling isn't as smooth as you'd hope. It also has the tendency to lag. Not deal breakers for me but it's noticeable.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] 1sagain:
S7 Edge Blue Coral

Scrolling in the UI is really smooth without any lags or glitches.

Even using Samsung's Internet Browser I found the scrolling very smooth on the sites I use.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] albert0pia:
Truer words have never been spoken. I hate using Chrome on my phone. If I had to guess, I'd say it isn't properly optimized on Exynos-powered devices. I experience less lag on my HTC One M8. The experience is definitely worse on my Shield Tablet, which is why it is currently sitting in my drawer collecting dust.

The stock browser on the other hand has never forced me to unknowingly tap an ugly ad when trying to scroll down a page that was still loading. I have just upgraded my device to Nougat but haven't used the device yet to see if the situation has improved.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Jano777:
I have got choppy scrolling with frame drop.brand new device.update didn't solve problem.going to send it back under warrenty.hardware or software problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] errorrrr:
COOLEST phone iv'e ever used, even the most demanding games I toss at it, it doesn't go beyond warm.

the warmest time is when its charging!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] insomnia:
So far I have read that the Exynos version runs cool and SD820 (some samples) were heating up under heavy use.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] danny772:
i got the exynos version and it does get warmed up while gaming .. it doesn't get uncomfortably warm .. but with that heat pipe i assumed there wouldnt be any heating issues.

What temp. would be considered as abnormal ?

and also which app can i download to find out the temp...... if any
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] blane237:
Do you have a link you can share? Cuz if anything I've heard that it's the Exynos 8890 is the hot chip.

http://www.techtimes.com/articles/135765/20160223/samsung-galaxy-s7-teardown-reveals-how-its-liquid-cooling-system-works.htm

"For the first time Samsung has established within the smartphone heat-conducting copper tube for cooling. The new chip Exynos 8890 is not only powerful, but also hot!"
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] CuBz90:
Mine has stayed cold (yes, cold) the whole time apart from when I use the Gear VR.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] riso123:
When using the VR mine for really WARM but not as hot as my s5 can get, sometimes with general use.

Funny thing is that with previous phones, heat seemed to = battery drain, however so far battery seems fantastic for me even when got after using the VR.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] gainstatom:
Mine is constantly warm around the camera area.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] squallz506:
Mine only got hot during initial setup. I haven't ran any games or benchmarks. It's warmer than my MXPE is but I think that's mostly because the MXPE has a bigger, thicker body which dissipates the heat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cyberchief:
Mine warmed up while downloading a ton of movies to the SD card. Ran under some cold water and it was fine from there. lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] shadow82x:
Mine ran slightly warm when downloading 20 app's at once, and I wouldn't be noticable if I didn't look for it heh.

No issues with my SD820 heating up. No issues while gaming either.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] dodgebizkit:
Runs slightly cooler than Darth Vader's portable life support suit, though not as many flashing lights. You really have to look on the screen when your own eyes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] tiskewlio:
I've been getting around 80-85f with chrome browsing low brightness but goes up to 95 to 100f with pandora and higher brightness. Does get warm but not too hot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Zeffir:
The first and second day my device was prone to getting warm and got pretty hot during VR use. Today for some reason it remains cool to the touch even after about playing an hour of a 3D game and I used the Gear VR for about 30 minutes and it only got warm. I'm not sure what changed but the difference is really noticeable.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] #500000VOID:
Exynos variant here, been playing Angry Birds 2 for like 15-20mins and the phone was getting quite warm close to camera area. Is that throttling?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] clark_styx:
its getting hot while watching youtube continuosly
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] exconvictriddick:
I got the s7 edge when it officially releases. First 2 days, lte enabled and default settings. It's get little warm that you can notice it. If I were to rate it 1-10 on warn department, I would say 3, 10 being really warm, borderline hot like HTC m9. 3rd and 4th day, 4G only and default settings. It doesn't get warm at all. Relatively cool. Tested it on my way to work. An hour trip. Playing Clash Royale 5-6 matches, watching YouTube, browsing reddit using reddit sync pro and moderate chrome browsing. Plus, it's only drain 7%.

Tldr Samsung S7 edge is a keeper. Gorgeous design, longer battery life, SD card and quite honestly, I really love the AOD. Wished there were more options and 3rd party notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] nrfitchett4:
anyone actually tested the temp using a temp gun? Otherwise, its all just speculation. I'll see if I can find mine to test while playing games or streaming video.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] riso123:
Same here. As in REALY cold to the touch at times, other than when charging.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] babylordx:
Speedy and almost impossible to heat up even after long hours of gaming.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] divinefriend:
Exynos overheating!!

Exynos here in Australia. Device from Optus. Definitely gets quite warm to scorching hot - particularly when using Chrome!! Planning to ask for replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jfkerekes:
How can you tell which chipset you have?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Dvyn:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] LIVEFRMNYC:
What heat? :D

Seriously, I've only noticed any heat while using this phone while it's fast charging.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Jonnyn93:
I love this phone, I hated phones that heat up since day one. I remember my note 1 used to get seriously hot over nothing. As soon as I bought a hot phone, I would sell it immediately.

There's something strange about the inconsistency of mobile CPU manufacturing. The fact that if you have two phones of the same model, one might get blisteringly hot, the other wont even break a sweat under heavy load.

Earlier this year I had a 6S, it got mega hot and I had no idea why, 14nm process, nothing too strenuous. I returned it and got the same phone again, nothing. Phone was cool as ice.

I really cant explain it.

My S7 edge is cool too, it raises to slightly above my relative hand temperature when gaming. Which is really good IMO, Samsung have really restored my faith in their brand with this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] daLareid:
My phone didn't even get hot during initial setup.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] elpindian:
SD820 here. Only gets warm when I'm in a low signal area using the **** out of chrome. Other than that, stays nice and cool all day even though I'm constantly using the camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ronj1986:
The snapdragon variant gets really warm. If you have a case on your phone, you will not notice at all. However if you don't have a case, even slight usage will be noticed. I am disappointed that so many phones with the Snapdragon gets warm/hot each year, but they continuously state how powerful the chip is. Of course it is powerful, but please reduce the power a tad if it will keep the device cooler for normal usage such as browsing the internet, texting, & even setting up the device for the first time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] kamranhaghighi:
Tools? Your hand or an external thermostat or an IR camera

Internal temp tells you nothing! Well almost
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bloodomen2:
my s7 edge exynos is the coolest phone i used even in game :]

s6 and z5 heat like crazy
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] yap_rony:
mine (exynos) is warm when in use but slightly cooler than my snapdragon 810 phones
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] yemkoid:
For those complaining hot during gaming, use Game tuner to downscale to 720p low resolution and comment here once again
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] danny772:
Just by touch I figure it's warm
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] turtuv:
+1. Anyway, what temperature do you consider abnormal and what app can i use to see the phone's temperature?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] hadec:
Sorry this post is a little of topic but am planni ng on buying s7 edge and seems u used z5.i own z5 and thinking for s7edge...gogo or nogo?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bloodomen2:
Gogo cus i think the edge is much better at everything except for the audio in the speaker and headphones which is much better on z5

Z5 was a letdown for me especially in the camera and battery life department
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] hadec:
I suppose u use exynos one?what about battery?also does it heat?and what about gaming?does the battery decays that fast like z5 does?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] turtuv:
I have the Exynos one. The battery heated only on first boot and configuration, after that it was almost always cool, during game too.

Inviato dal mio Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Gold Platinum
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Monkey Slut:
Exynos here too. But my phone gets warm sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] turtuv:
Sometime is normal, depending on what you do.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bloodomen2:
its rare that it get warm at all and its never get too warm that its starts to get uncomfortable to hold like Z5 and S6 G4 gets

its also surprisingly cool during long gaming sessions and camera usage

even wireless charging does not warm it too much

my s6 used to be like a hot potato when using wireless charging

id say its the coolest smartphone ever :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Monkey Slut:
Well, it's not like I got a problem with it. I think it's normal, but previous post stated that his phone is not getting warm at all. And I just have different experience having the same phone.

Just saying this phone is not heating at all is wrong :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] turtuv:
And during charging? Became it a little bit warm?

I think that is impossible that its phone not getting warm at all.

Inviato dal mio Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Gold Platinum
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bloodomen2:
Its get to 35 C temp when on the new samsung fast wireless charging stand which is slightly warm but nothing compared to s6 on wireless

S6 was scorching hot [emoji91]
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] turtuv:
Do you mean battery's temperature? And on normal charge and normal use what temperature does it reach?

Inviato dal mio Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Gold Platinum
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bloodomen2:
normal fast charge is 37C
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] turtuv:
I meant normal charge (not fast charge) and normal daily use (gaming, video, Internet etc). In the meantime, I played a little bit with Asphalt 8 and this are my temperatures:

And I get this temperature after about 30/40 minutes of Asphalt 8 games

What do you think? Is it good?

Inviato dal mio Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Gold Platinum
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bloodomen2:
Thats good Z5 is 41-42 after few min of game
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] masi0:
not much difference compared to S6
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] turtuv:
I think that those are good results, are they? The phone doesn't seems so hot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] turtuv:
For info: when the phone is charging (normal charge) the battery is 32.8°/33°.i think it is good.

I'm far from a gamer, so I haven't experienced any kind of heat from it at all. I have played some 3D games and whatnot, but it just doesn't get hot (Exynos).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] turtuv:
Not hot, but a little bit warm. Not so much, but a little bit. It's impossible that the phone stays always completely cool [emoji6] Just check the temperatures with Aida64 if you are curious.

Sended from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Gold Platinum
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] J.Biden:
Again, I don't play any CPU/GPU intensive games, so I haven't experienced any heat at all. I can perfectly feel heat through my fingers, and I don't need an app to tell me how it feels :laugh: I bet it'll get a little warm if I do start playing heavy 3D games, but I don't do that, so heat is a non-issue for me :cool:

The important thing here though is that it doesn't get HOT, like the infamous BBQ SoC, the Snapdragon 810.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] turtuv:
The heat perceptions is not objective. And I am not speaking about games only, but normal usage. You can say that you don't feel any warm, I can say that I feel it but if you look the temperatures probably we will have the same numbers. This is my point.

Sended from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Gold Platinum
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] J.Biden:
No, I can tell you right now that there is NO heat. NONE. The device is currently 24.7 degrees Celsius (76.46 F). If your device is warm without doing anything special, then I guess you either live in the tropics or your device is faulty.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] turtuv:
Ok, you don't want to understand what I'm saying and we have a different interpretation of the word "warm". Said that my phone is just fine and if you use it just 5 minutes your temp raise up at least 1° degree more. The stable temp is about 27/29°.

Compact smartphone. Don't have any problem so far. Happily in love with S7 Edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Rickyzx:
I sat it's a coolest phone. Because I see or know most of android phones are very heat when you run mail, games or any other download. But I see that S7 edge it's never hot in these time. I excited that it's not warm when play games. So, I love it.
