I've had my iphone 4 for ony about 2 years, but I'll likely be switching to this soon. I doubt I'll miss too much XD especially the lag and dumbfounded people that I'm "using a dinosaur for a phone".
Most reviewers need to realise. I would say the majority of your average consumers will buy a case. These phones cost a lot of money and most of us have two year contracts. Therefore, the scratching and cracking issues are not really an issue.
+grashoper645 let them use a case for their expensive phones, why would you risk it. Me personally, I do not wear cases on a regular day but when I'm about to do sports or If I'm going to be out for a long time, I rather take my case with me.
+Ufuk XiYiZi yeah but everyone complained about the s5 being made of plastic. so they change it to glass and everyone covers it with plastic cases. this does not make any sense to me.
+grashoper645 It's because people are always complaining. Give a village food, energy, hospitals, etc. and they will be happy. Now take all those things away and see how they going riot
fastest phone I've owned. using it with the official LED flip wallet. honestly no lag 99.9% of the time, only time I noticed it was in application manager when I'd started scrolling before it had loaded the screen.
I agree and disagree. I think Apple is stagnating in some of its ingenuity, however, I appreciate the reliability on the OS and its ecosystem. I've had Androids before which are amazing out of the gates, however, after a while I notice performance degrades. The S7 is an amazing looking phone, though.
i ve using iphone for 3 and half years..move to this phone. very first time spending extra money.. i first plan to buy note7 but for some reason i decide to buy s7 edge and love it. super fast.easy.feauturs etc..my fav is the battery life. thumbs up samsung.
S8 won't happen until at least next Spring. Note 7 will be out on the 19th though in many countries, so it might be worth waiting to check that out before you make a decision.
got this phone for my birthday yesterday and so glad I did. moving from the iPhone to this device was a BIG move and I wasn't sure about it but it worked out fine. I love the apps on this phone and even the vibrations whilst typing. It's brilliant!
+oren moyal so you prefer pressing your phone screen constantly just to make an app action risking your device's screen been damaged or just swipe and find the app mega quick and mega easier and in mega less time.
I am not an apple fan at all but i did try the 3D touch ,and trust me they did it Properly without any extra pressure on the screen. Their touch sensitivity is the best you can get despite all thier bullshit in general.
Having this phone just north of two weeks, I'm liking it more and more. I've been an avid user of the I phone for years and this has proven to be a much better product thus far.
there are no really affective cases for the edge though unless you get the ones that have the flap that goes over the screen I don't know what they are called lol
I agree with you. My S7 Edge has been with me since the week they came out, I had to track one down, I have had several of the S series phones, and this is the best one I have had yet.
nah it wouldn't be so great even then. Samsung features which aren't really useful but nice to haves. Due to the overhaul of their performances yet fragile material of the phone it makes up keeping the phone that much more expensive and more likely to bugs and overheating easily over time. I've had this problem over time owning Samsung galaxy phones. There is so much background processes that don't have a purpose which really eats at the battery. It being waterproof is nice though it is so fragile like said in this video it hardly matters much. the test of time your battery will die and unless you don't know how to replace the battery and or pay for battery and installed good luck having this phone running as smooth for a few years .
I´ve had my galaxy s4 for around 2 and a half years,It lags just a little, and the only thing i´ve ever have had to change was the display when it fell from a 4th floor, the phone was still working, haven´t changed because I don´t have the money, but if I could afford a s7 edge, I´d totally would, and I know I´ll surely last a lot
Good video. I just can't understand how you scratch your home button. I've a Note 5 for nearly a year and never scratched it. My wife who as with many ladies has those long nails which tend to scratch things and there's not a scratch on her S7 Edge home button though she has from launch day and is always tapping it with her fingernail. Are you sure you don't still have the little plastic cover on it and it's scratching?? Just a suggestion Lol!
+Brian M I just had mine for a week and had it scratched too... Maybe because i put my phone screen side down on a rough surface somewhere, but I don't think I am that careless
Rey I really think if you're not a careless person bring the phone back and show them photos I put on my page of my wifes phone. ! It will prove it shouldn't scratch easily and get a replacement!
switched from using a iPhone for 6 years straight, i decided to go to Samsung S7 edge for the Water resistance,, it held up over 2 months of use, and is a gorgeous phone. i love it.
I'm surprised you're still so keen on it after it cracked randomly and with the screen-holding issue. Being able to hold it without accidentally bumping the screen is my biggest concern about buying this phone at the moment. Your point about the camera over-processing images is another worry, and combined with Samsung's track record on updates, I'm not sure these things will get fixed. While the HTC 10 isn't quite as good for the camera and doesn't have quite as many software features, at least they've got a better update track record. Ugh such decisions.
All you've described about the design, unused edge & ability to pick up is right on point with what I've been experienced in less than a week. I don't like covers either but every time I pick it up I am afraid I'll drop it. Basically could have done without the curved edge. Annoying and not sure I like it. Great review, straight to the point, quick and very informative!
I use the spigen tough armor with the invisible shield screen protector. I haven't dropped it yet tho. Am thinking of getting one of those tempered screen protectors but I dunno how well it would work with the edge screen.
because of that purty edge...i don't think there's a case that can ever fully protect it from accidental drops. I have to admit after using the s7 edge for more than a month now, I haven't found much use for the edge, but the larger screen size and battery is appreciated :D
I have had issues with this phone (had to send it off for repair the screen went weird and started ghosting) but the phone being impossible to hold in one hand is wrong. I dont have particular large hands and find it easy to hold in one hand
2:00 there's a new edge app on the Galaxy Store that actually lets you put homescreen widgets on the edge panel. Its quite possibly the most usable feature of the edge right now, as you could put all your music player widgets there and such for easy access while youre in a chat app or whatever, without needing the notification tray to be cramped by those music controls.
I've had my S7 Edge for about a month. I love it!!! I was gonna go for the G5 but the Gold Edge caught my eye. I use a Tech21 case. It feels much better in my opinion.
Just picked up this new phone over the weekend. Awesome. I dare any CrApple user to honestly compare it to the 6s and be mesmerized by the superior quality of the Galaxy S7
Help me out. What's the difference between note ones and 7, 7 edge? I see them as phone's of almost equal capabilities sold separately so what kind of market are they going for, size?
It's actually very easy to one hand this phone with curved edged on the front and back..Very comfortable in the hand too. This surprised me when I got mine.
Great review & great points regarding the camera processing noise builders. I hope samsung considers your critiques & points for their next gen models to fix these issues. A+ just subscribed!!
thanks for the video it was a very eye-opening. I got this phone as a replacement for my lost Note Edge through my at&t insurance, and while I'm liking it so far this video definitely points out some things I watch out for. I am notorious for dropping my phone so I've taken the necessary steps to get one of those OtterBox cases. I want this phone lasting me a good long time.
I knew the galaxy s8 was coming out but I decided to upgrade from my note 4 to the edge s7 in pink gold and I loooove it!! :D Purchased it for $535, 64G with Exynos processor!! =)
My only complaint after having this phone for several months, is the placement of the mic on the bottom. It is exactly where I reflexively place my pinky while i'm talking on the phone and then suddenly the conversation falls into the "hello, can you here me" loop until i remember to move my finger.
Nice review, i'm lloking forward to get me the S7 edge in a couple of weeks. However, there was a small flaw i noticed halfway in the video in terms of audio quality. I was watching this with my headphones on and couldn't help but notice an echo in every "s" sound while speaking. eventually i caught myself paying more attention to the echoing noise than the video so you might want to check the microphone settings or add a little less effects on the editing part. Anyways all together you really convinced me, thankyou for the review!
+play_station_kid it's actually quite comfortable and doesn't make the phone feel big. has nice brushed steel finish at the back, as long as the phone is protected, I'm only going to be looking at the screen..
any phone I bought, ive always check if the would fit the Otter protective cases... 10 years now and still no broken glass on 5 different phones now... right now got the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge and both got the Otter cases.
I just changed the AOD to a photo last night, and it started draining the battery big time today. Half the battery in just 2 hours. Switched it back to the clock, and rebooted, so far so good. I googled it, and seems to be a problem. I HAD the Note 7 and it had an epic battery until they bricked it.
I love using my phone without a case but I absolutely can't stand when I bump things randomly because of the edge. I have to force myself to use the edge functions as well. the idea behind it is amazing.
You're spot on about the edge criticism, I hate the edges! I just wanted the bigger screen. I was planning on getting the next note but it's looking like it will have edges too! Crap, maybe I'll sell this and get the note 5.
I've had mine a few days few it through a few water tests already and must say its a very nice device I've had water damage on so many phones in the past.
If you don't like the preprocessing the S7 Edge does to pix, set it to shoot in RAW format and use Photoshop CC2015.5 or Photoshop Elements 14 to make your own mods to the pix with Adobe's Camera Raw software (included in both Photoshop versions). The other advantage of RAW format (besides no in-camera preprocessing and no compression to jpeg format) is it uses 100% of the pixels in the sensor. That means the files are going to be large, so stick a 64GB micro-SD card in the phone. You're getting everything in the pix you're taking.
I never bother; the phone is too beautiful to be covered up. The screen protector is just a gimmick for this phone; it obscures the beauty of the Super AMOLED screen.
If you gonna pay $400 to $700 for your phone which is an extension on your hand, why not spend $50 more good bucks for a top of the line case! You made several good points about this phone, and one of these points was Samsung listening to visual people and without good thought making a phone out of glass! This why I loved my S5 it was an indestructible phone... international variants that is.
A very good review and I agree with everything you said. You didn't mention the wireless charging which I love, both in the car and on the desk, so saving wear and tear on the charging socket. My main complaint about the phone is that I am scared stiff of dropping it, I have one of the official Samsung cases but it is still slippery, I think it would be a good idea to have a gel case with a flap to protect the screen in case it is dropped on a hard surface. There doesn't appear to be a fixing point for a lanyard unlike the S2 had, so taking pictures in perilous situations could have catastrophic consequences.
they say that because of legal issues. if soemone drowns their phone they wont be able to sue samsung, they'll just say it was water resistent not waterproof
Absolutely brilliant, brilliant review. Loved the close up shots of the phone emphasising the curves. Kudos to you for taking note of and mentioning the over sharpening of the images. I particularly like to zoom in into my pictures to enjoy the detail but this phone completely destroys the pleasure of watching fine detail like grasses and micro strands on leaves etc. The over sharpening does look like a pastel painting and it just takes away so much from the experience of enjoying photos clicked on this device. The only way to enjoy photos clicked by this device on this device is by not zooming into them. I wish Samsung would stop this and give us absolutely natural photos like the iPhone.
Its been 2 months I have been using S7 edge...unfortunately I dropped my phone 2 weeks back and screen got shattered. I have noticed significant battery drain from then..I am getting battery for just 6 to 8 hours and also phone is overheating. I will be replacing the phone as I got insurance...just wanted to share that phone was so delicate that it just cracked when it fell from 1 feet high and the problems it got after that
So would a small crack on the back of the glass make it no longer waterproof? I dropped mine on the concrete the other day (just my luck right?) and it created a small crack only on the bottom right of the phone.
I had an s7 edge for a month and took it back for the S7 the edge screen made it impossible to do simple task like text. the keyboard curves with the edge making it hard to tap those keys. I am happier with the S7 and glad I took back the s7 edge.
Good review but you are the first person/ reviewer who has said anything like the Samsung always on feature is anything short of disappointing...and to say that it's better than Motorola or Nexus is just crazy. Samsungs version only works with their apps, you can access other 3rd party apps to display, you can get more information by pressing on the notification...What exactly is better about it? I'd love to hear your thoughts on what makes it better. Perhaps you haven't used those other phones.
Wish i picked the S7 Edge, but i hate having to be without a phone for couple days. I currently have the normal S7, and i had no idea S7 Edge was bigger.
Does the android interface still make you change your default apps when the just do a simple update? Do you still get volume warnings when plugging in an aux? Do you still get an annoying low battery warning when it's at 15%? These are minor flaws that get really annoying during use that turned me off from android based phones.
Loved this video. You covered some things that most reviewers didn't... Subscribed. There's one thing I wanted to know though. I plan on picking up this phone soon. Just confused with what colour I should get. I love watching movies on my phone hence was asked to go to black... But I really love that silver model. I'm just afraid it will get too reflective when watching videos on it ... Since you have both models, I think you can help me decide. I just want a phone that looks slick and unique with the ability to watch videos.
I'm thinking of getting one of these, but unlike you, I'm going to be putting a case on it. My other phone just recently died from a fall fro around 2 feet in the air (not much at all), and the screen didn't even crack, it just broke. I'm not taking any chances if I get this phone.
Hi! Absolutely my own experience too regarding to the edges and touching them without want to and making me want to GRAAAAWWWR (ROAR) in frustration... but I found that whilst one use a good cover this issue is more or less gone. The camera is STUNNING! - Nothing much left to say... I love it! :) -tnx for a nice video.. :)
Hmmm have you tried holding the phone with your pinky at the bottom? that's how I hold it, I find it to be more secure that way, but it does take a way a lil reach by thumb. Interesting it still looks pristine minus the crack, no scratches?? I'm surprised. Seeing you use the S7 with your wallpapers etc, makes me warm up a lil more to Samsung, was never a fan of their ui or their lag but they seemed to have improved quite a bit! I still prefer stock though :P heh Totally agree with you on the processing and sharpening, it's too much. but if you shoot in raw, all that processing is stripped out so that's an option. Great vid :)
***** Ah no problem bud :) Honesty is the best policy, best not to give in to pride I find :). People these days are far too judgemental so I like to bring a lil fresh air into the mix ^_^. If you need any help with photography, feel free to ask me some Q's, I shoot for a living so I'm pretty active on videos that highlight photography.
I've had the same thing happen with a crack on my screen in the bottom left corner. I'm always careful with my phone, haven't dropped it or had any pressure on the screen yet it's not part of the warranty. It's very disappointing for such an expensive phone

+Sigmund Freud AWESOME but then again I've. had a outdated phone for 5 years but it is amazing
I've had my iphone 4 for ony about 2 years, but I'll likely be switching to this soon. I doubt I'll miss too much XD especially the lag and dumbfounded people that I'm "using a dinosaur for a phone".
same here man
I got it last Thursday, I'm so happy with it (: Still learning the ins-and-outs of Androids though haha
here also the same ;D, but i already have it , worth all the peney, camera just a killer.
Most reviewers need to realise. I would say the majority of your average consumers will buy a case. These phones cost a lot of money and most of us have two year contracts. Therefore, the scratching and cracking issues are not really an issue.
+pyrosdestiny totally agree.
if you put a case on it what's the point in it being made of glass?
+grashoper645 let them use a case for their expensive phones, why would you risk it. Me personally, I do not wear cases on a regular day but when I'm about to do sports or If I'm going to be out for a long time, I rather take my case with me.
+Ufuk XiYiZi yeah but everyone complained about the s5 being made of plastic. so they change it to glass and everyone covers it with plastic cases. this does not make any sense to me.

Does it lag???
fastest phone I've owned. using it with the official LED flip wallet. honestly no lag 99.9% of the time, only time I noticed it was in application manager when I'd started scrolling before it had loaded the screen.
+steve rowlands aww nice ! Thank you!!!

+Brendon Cornell i had my samsung s2 for nearly 4 years and it was still fine after with normal usage...
OMG Cyrogenikz that's got nothing to do with my comment lol
In the world of technology, I think it is. But otherwise... Yeah it's not :)
well im technology it can be a long time
im sorry apple im moving on :)
apple is just not innovative anymore sad but its true
Based on the leaked features, the iPhone 7 is very underwhelming, and the Galaxy S8 will just smash it pretty easily.
apple is going down hill
I agree and disagree. I think Apple is stagnating in some of its ingenuity, however, I appreciate the reliability on the OS and its ecosystem. I've had Androids before which are amazing out of the gates, however, after a while I notice performance degrades. The S7 is an amazing looking phone, though.
+Nine2Oh yea I'm never going to leave iOS as long as it's stable and reliable but in terms of looks it's not that satisfying
I just got the S7 Edge I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! Upgraded from the S3 which 3 yes ago was the ship too! :)

Is it still worth it to get an S7 Edge now, with a 2 year contract, or wait for the S8?
S8 won't happen until at least next Spring. Note 7 will be out on the 19th though in many countries, so it might be worth waiting to check that out before you make a decision.
I would buy the s7 edge!
I would if i have money. Then buy again for S8.
I would totally get S7 edge again! I cracked my screen just like him and im still crying
I cracked my screen too but I got used to it it's just not as pretty as it was before
got this phone for my birthday yesterday and so glad I did. moving from the iPhone to this device was a BIG move and I wasn't sure about it but it worked out fine. I love the apps on this phone and even the vibrations whilst typing. It's brilliant!

+oxoConstantinEoxo lmao
Definitely the most detailed, informative phone review I've ever watched. Great work man, thank you. You know your stuff!
most of the problems you listed could be solved my a case
I agree
why put a case on a edge its made for the edges u cant get to it with a case
The edges feature is probably the most overrated feature on a flagship smartphone.
Even the 3D touch on the phone is more usable.
+oren moyal so you prefer pressing your phone screen constantly just to make an app action risking your device's screen been damaged or just swipe and find the app mega quick and mega easier and in mega less time.
I am not an apple fan at all but i did try the 3D touch ,and trust me they did it Properly without any extra pressure on the screen.
Their touch sensitivity is the best you can get despite all thier bullshit in general.
Having this phone just north of two weeks, I'm liking it more and more. I've been an avid user of the I phone for years and this has proven to be a much better product thus far.
I love how both clocks on these phones are set to 4:20 am and PM
blaze it
got my S7 edge in early march (2016) and I still LOVE it!! No kidding, everything said in this video I agree with.
" To this day i have no idea how the screen broke. I never use cases on any of my phones "
Jeez...Stopped video at that point
That's what I thought. That's what cases are for. LOL
I stopped shortly after, when he referred to ambient display as "adaptive display"
there are no really affective cases for the edge though unless you get the ones that have the flap that goes over the screen I don't know what they are called lol
I agree with you. My S7 Edge has been with me since the week they came out, I had to track one down, I have had several of the S series phones, and this is the best one I have had yet.
It would be the best smartphone ever, it Shitsung haven't made it so susceptible to any kind of damage made even from regular use.
It took a 10 ft drop to crack the glass, I´d say it´s very resistant
nah it wouldn't be so great even then. Samsung features which aren't really useful but nice to haves. Due to the overhaul of their performances yet fragile material of the phone it makes up keeping the phone that much more expensive and more likely to bugs and overheating easily over time.

Ugh such decisions.
i've been making the same s7/s7 edge decision just because of the in-hand feel
i've got the S6 edge, and I've dropped it 5 times on the screen, no scraches, nothing !
All you've described about the design, unused edge & ability to pick up is right on point with what I've been experienced in less than a week. I don't like covers either but every time I pick it up I am afraid I'll drop it. Basically could have done without the curved edge. Annoying and not sure I like it.

Hmmmm, hmmmm....

Shut the fuck up fucken fakers
Settle down sporty spice
It was a fake channel its all like"Get your reward!!! For my subscribers only!"
1 year using,i love it.
more than s8 or even s9.
great smarphone,you need i case.
Does the S7 edge have a sd card slot ?
yes, bought it today
no
yes it does
it's on the top
yes
Had the phone for a week now and it's amazing! I wasn't a Samsung fan before but damn they got me with this one!
most of the nits can be addressed by getting a case and screen protector. i use a spigen case on my s7 edge.
Which one ? Does it protects your phone from accidental drops ?
I use the spigen tough armor with the invisible shield screen protector. I haven't dropped it yet tho. Am thinking of getting one of those tempered screen protectors but I dunno how well it would work with the edge screen.
took the words right out of my mouth
i brought one of those tempered glass screens, it was horrible on the s7 edge the screen became very clunky wound up in the trash
because of that purty edge...i don't think there's a case that can ever fully protect it from accidental drops. I have to admit after using the s7 edge for more than a month now, I haven't found much use for the edge, but the larger screen size and battery is appreciated :D
I've had this phone since the day it came out and I'm still in love
still be waiting for the next note..hehehe
note 8 inches , because fuck one handed use nowadays
How'd that work out?
I work with Samsung smartphone company and till date s7 edge is highest sales level in my outlet
I have had issues with this phone (had to send it off for repair the screen went weird and started ghosting) but the phone being impossible to hold in one hand is wrong. I dont have particular large hands and find it easy to hold in one hand
Do you still like it though? I got mine recently and have mix feeling on it.
+Wallow Leaf Ye love it just annoying few bugs with it.
People say "People with small hands should go with the s7" Not because it is hard to hold but because it has better one handed compatibility.
2:00 there's a new edge app on the Galaxy Store that actually lets you put homescreen widgets on the edge panel. Its quite possibly the most usable feature of the edge right now, as you could put all your music player widgets there and such for easy access while youre in a chat app or whatever, without needing the notification tray to be cramped by those music controls.
What theme is at 4:54
PixelArt
good

I've had my S7 Edge for about a month. I love it!!! I was gonna go for the G5 but the Gold Edge caught my eye. I use a Tech21 case. It feels much better in my opinion.
Could somone please tell me the names of the skins/themes in this video.
+Jamie Kelly should be a Pixel Kingdom theme on Samsung's theme store.
Stop complaning and put it on a case dude
Just picked up this new phone over the weekend. Awesome. I dare any CrApple user to honestly compare it to the 6s and be mesmerized by the superior quality of the Galaxy S7
the only reason I'm getting it is because at&t isn't going to carry the HTC 10
+Phillip Shepard It's the better choice of the 2 anyway. Unless you're an audiophile.
True I'm pretty sure Samsung is the best android phone company out there
or sloppy... htc hold up to 30-40 hard drops more than the samsung, before it stops working...
like the detailed after review of certain details others don't mention. subscribed and liked!

agree with you. enjoying this phone more and more each month!
Nothing was better than the Galaxy Note 7. Can't wait for the Galaxy Note 8.Everything else is mediocre ... period ! Apple or Oranges :)
Help me out. What's the difference between note ones and 7, 7 edge? I see them as phone's of almost equal capabilities sold separately so what kind of market are they going for, size?
Id like to know also
It's actually very easy to one hand this phone with curved edged on the front and back..Very comfortable in the hand too. This surprised me when I got mine.
First world problems
Your profile picture fits too well
Great review & great points regarding the camera processing noise builders. I hope samsung considers your critiques & points for their next gen models to fix these issues. A+ just subscribed!!
thanks for the video it was a very eye-opening. I got this phone as a replacement for my lost Note Edge through my at&t insurance, and while I'm liking it so far this video definitely points out some things I watch out for. I am notorious for dropping my phone so I've taken the necessary steps to get one of those OtterBox cases. I want this phone lasting me a good long time.
I knew the galaxy s8 was coming out but I decided to upgrade from my note 4 to the edge s7 in pink gold and I loooove it!! :D Purchased it for $535, 64G with Exynos processor!! =)
watching this on my s7 edge and I love it
My only complaint after having this phone for several months, is the placement of the mic on the bottom. It is exactly where I reflexively place my pinky while i'm talking on the phone and then suddenly the conversation falls into the "hello, can you here me" loop until i remember to move my finger.
Nice review, i'm lloking forward to get me the S7 edge in a couple of weeks. However, there was a small flaw i noticed halfway in the video in terms of audio quality. I was watching this with my headphones on and couldn't help but notice an echo in every "s" sound while speaking. eventually i caught myself paying more attention to the echoing noise than the video so you might want to check the microphone settings or add a little less effects on the editing part. Anyways all together you really convinced me, thankyou for the review!
I have a Verus Verge case on, it still looks awesome, screen protector next and that should do it
Wow. Best case I've seen yet.
+play_station_kid it's actually quite comfortable and doesn't make the phone feel big. has nice brushed steel finish at the back, as long as the phone is protected, I'm only going to be looking at the screen..
any phone I bought, ive always check if the would fit the Otter protective cases... 10 years now and still no broken glass on 5 different phones now... right now got the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge and both got the Otter cases.
I've had it for 1 month best phone I've ever had its amazing so glad I bought it
that hand stunt was really something
really exciting stuff man
Hey ! Does Touchwiz lag or slow down after months of use? What would you suggest iPhone 6S 64GB or S7 Edge? Performance is my priority.
I just changed the AOD to a photo last night, and it started draining the battery big time today. Half the battery in just 2 hours. Switched it back to the clock, and rebooted, so far so good. I googled it, and seems to be a problem. I HAD the Note 7 and it had an epic battery until they bricked it.
I love using my phone without a case but I absolutely can't stand when I bump things randomly because of the edge. I have to force myself to use the edge functions as well. the idea behind it is amazing.
Did you use a case for that cracked edge phone? I am wondering if a protective case would prevent the crack.
You're spot on about the edge criticism, I hate the edges! I just wanted the bigger screen. I was planning on getting the next note but it's looking like it will have edges too! Crap, maybe I'll sell this and get the note 5.
I've had mine a few days few it through a few water tests already and must say its a very nice device I've had water damage on so many phones in the past.
If you don't like the preprocessing the S7 Edge does to pix, set it to shoot in RAW format and use Photoshop CC2015.5 or Photoshop Elements 14 to make your own mods to the pix with Adobe's Camera Raw software (included in both Photoshop versions). The other advantage of RAW format (besides no in-camera preprocessing and no compression to jpeg format) is it uses 100% of the pixels in the sensor. That means the files are going to be large, so stick a 64GB micro-SD card in the phone. You're getting everything in the pix you're taking.
Tell us how to protect this phone since almost all protectors sucks hard!
I never bother; the phone is too beautiful to be covered up. The screen protector is just a gimmick for this phone; it obscures the beauty of the Super AMOLED screen.
Valdric Lim I can see we don't have anything to talk about then.
Use a UAG Ice Case really good and still see the phone look it up
MrCoolj2251 uhh we need a screen protector, not a big fat uag case... sorry, but ty.
oh my bad the only company i use is zagg for screen protectors but on this phone i don't think its needed honestly
Did you fill up all the memory and then test the speed?
If you gonna pay $400 to $700 for your phone which is an extension on your hand, why not spend $50 more good bucks for a top of the line case! You made several good points about this phone, and one of these points was Samsung listening to visual people and without good thought making a phone out of glass! This why I loved my S5 it was an indestructible phone... international variants that is.
A very good review and I agree with everything you said. You didn't mention the wireless charging which I love, both in the car and on the desk, so saving wear and tear on the charging socket.
My main complaint about the phone is that I am scared stiff of dropping it, I have one of the official Samsung cases but it is still slippery, I think it would be a good idea to have a gel case with a flap to protect the screen in case it is dropped on a hard surface.
There doesn't appear to be a fixing point for a lanyard unlike the S2 had, so taking pictures in perilous situations could have catastrophic consequences.
Correct me if I was wrong...
but isn't the phone is certificated to be dust and water resistant, not water proof...?
It's waterproof too, IP68
they say that because of legal issues. if soemone drowns their phone they wont be able to sue samsung, they'll just say it was water resistent not waterproof
Absolutely brilliant, brilliant review. Loved the close up shots of the phone emphasising the curves. Kudos to you for taking note of and mentioning the over sharpening of the images. I particularly like to zoom in into my pictures to enjoy the detail but this phone completely destroys the pleasure of watching fine detail like grasses and micro strands on leaves etc. The over sharpening does look like a pastel painting and it just takes away so much from the experience of enjoying photos clicked on this device. The only way to enjoy photos clicked by this device on this device is by not zooming into them. I wish Samsung would stop this and give us absolutely natural photos like the iPhone.
I agree. That watercolor-ish quality of the image annoys me every time! Feels good to know that I'm not alone.
I wish the "Always on display" was like the one on the Note 7. I hope it gets an update soon.
4:30 which pocket though? Back pocket that you sit on? Or front pocket?
Its been 2 months I have been using S7 edge...unfortunately I dropped my phone 2 weeks back and screen got shattered. I have noticed significant battery drain from then..I am getting battery for just 6 to 8 hours and also phone is overheating. I will be replacing the phone as I got insurance...just wanted to share that phone was so delicate that it just cracked when it fell from 1 feet high and the problems it got after that
I'm getting mine very soon and I'm so so excited .. but to avoid scratches on the screen should I have a screen protector or not ?
So would a small crack on the back of the glass make it no longer waterproof? I dropped mine on the concrete the other day (just my luck right?) and it created a small crack only on the bottom right of the phone.
I have a normal S7.. if I get a plastic screen protector, will it cover the entire screen from side to side?
I had an s7 edge for a month and took it back for the S7 the edge screen made it impossible to do simple task like text. the keyboard curves with the edge making it hard to tap those keys. I am happier with the S7 and glad I took back the s7 edge.
Good review but you are the first person/ reviewer who has said anything like the Samsung always on feature is anything short of disappointing...and to say that it's better than Motorola or Nexus is just crazy. Samsungs version only works with their apps, you can access other 3rd party apps to display, you can get more information by pressing on the notification...What exactly is better about it? I'd love to hear your thoughts on what makes it better. Perhaps you haven't used those other phones.
Wish i picked the S7 Edge, but i hate having to be without a phone for couple days. I currently have the normal S7, and i had no idea S7 Edge was bigger.
More people should do follow-up reviews like this more often.
Does the android interface still make you change your default apps when the just do a simple update? Do you still get volume warnings when plugging in an aux? Do you still get an annoying low battery warning when it's at 15%? These are minor flaws that get really annoying during use that turned me off from android based phones.
how is this phone? what are some coo features? interested in getting it.
Loved this video. You covered some things that most reviewers didn't... Subscribed. There's one thing I wanted to know though. I plan on picking up this phone soon. Just confused with what colour I should get. I love watching movies on my phone hence was asked to go to black... But I really love that silver model. I'm just afraid it will get too reflective when watching videos on it ... Since you have both models, I think you can help me decide. I just want a phone that looks slick and unique with the ability to watch videos.
Still worth getting with a 2 year plan early 2017? (will probably be somewhat cheaper than the GS8)
I'm thinking of getting one of these, but unlike you, I'm going to be putting a case on it. My other phone just recently died from a fall fro around 2 feet in the air (not much at all), and the screen didn't even crack, it just broke. I'm not taking any chances if I get this phone.
What's the best color Gold platinum or Black onyx?
What wireless charging pad were you using in this video?
Which color is best? Black vs silver?
Bought the Unlocked International Titanium version.....frikin awesome phone
The "turn around" for Samsung was actually 2015 with the release of the Note 5, Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. Before that it was all hype and talk.
Hi! Absolutely my own experience too regarding to the edges and touching them without want to and making me want to GRAAAAWWWR (ROAR) in frustration... but I found that whilst one use a good cover this issue is more or less gone. The camera is STUNNING! - Nothing much left to say... I love it! :) -tnx for a nice video.. :)
Hi, I am planning on buying s7 edge. Do samsung phones still have lag issues?
where can you buy that case? it is great
Hmmm have you tried holding the phone with your pinky at the bottom? that's how I hold it, I find it to be more secure that way, but it does take a way a lil reach by thumb.
Interesting it still looks pristine minus the crack, no scratches?? I'm surprised. Seeing you use the S7 with your wallpapers etc, makes me warm up a lil more to Samsung, was never a fan of their ui or their lag but they seemed to have improved quite a bit! I still prefer stock though :P heh
Totally agree with you on the processing and sharpening, it's too much. but if you shoot in raw, all that processing is stripped out so that's an option.
Great vid :)
very honest comment and thanks for the camera tip I feel it oversharpens a little too much.
yesss, holding it with your pinky at the bottom makes it seem much more secure in your hand.
***** Ah no problem bud :) Honesty is the best policy, best not to give in to pride I find :). People these days are far too judgemental so I like to bring a lil fresh air into the mix ^_^. If you need any help with photography, feel free to ask me some Q's, I shoot for a living so I'm pretty active on videos that highlight photography.
I've had the same thing happen with a crack on my screen in the bottom left corner. I'm always careful with my phone, haven't dropped it or had any pressure on the screen yet it's not part of the warranty. It's very disappointing for such an expensive phone
I just bought samsung galaxy s7 edge in 2018 and still powerful
What skin is that , it has the london eye and stuff
