Kelly Lee i know i just confirmed what you said...the big flaws for me : the finger prints is a big flaw...very big flaw...the glass on the back is the worst thing samsung ever made i have note 5 and fingerprints always piss me off...i know it's premium but you can do premium with metal like other phones...when you use your phone in a coffee always people see finger prints like seeing you having a dirty phone... the speaker place too i always cut the sound when playing games because my finger touch speaker place...
Omar Ben Sassi I ordered a new gold s7 the other day and just waiting for its arrival and I must say, I highly did prefer the plastic backs of the galaxies. But it really shouldn't matter if you put a case on it??
a case kills the design...what's the point of having a great design and thin phone if you put a case on it... good choice for the s7 but i prefer big screens so i am waiting for the next note 6 who will be called the note 7 because they will skip a number to keep up with s series...with usb type C and iris scanner,ip68 and sd card slot...,6gb of ram ...the note 6/7 will kill all phones...it's worth the 2 months waiting
It's called a mobile phone for a reason... it's not stuck to a wall like a house phone... most people pick up and look at it and besides not everyone sits at a table to use it
+GoWILD tbh, at this point, what your more comfortable is what you've been using on your Android device the whole time. However your natural resting position of your thumb generally is closer to the left side of the phone.
Enes Nadir Comoglu that took me some getting used to when I switched from my S3 to a Note 4 XD but we're talking about in general, the back button has always been on the right while the menu/multitasking button was on the left...
The buttons are not backwards. Most people are right handers and you use the "back-button" way more often that the task button. -Now take your phone in your hand and think about that! Samsung ALWAYS made this right.
uh no having to extend my thumnb over to the left is stupid for the back button. Anyway most users when they hold there phone the thumb is always in a bending motion ready to press the back button everytime i try to press the left button i also have to move my fingers behind the phone to get my thumb to extend to the button
I feel like both ways are right (I personally prefer the back button on the right side) and that's why it is stupid that there is only one option. I have LG G3 and with the buttons on the screen, you can choose which way you would like to place the them! That is a very nice feauture to have! I know that it doesn't work with a phone, where the buttons aren't on the screen, but Android phones being so customizable to begin with, where do we need those "physical" buttons anyway?
it's not backwards... Samsung back button is more easy to use if you're right handed and it's always been that way - it annoyed me when I took four years out from Samsung that back button was further away from my right hand 😂 back button is the second most used button after home page. 😂
Fingerprints! - Get a skin/case It feels weird to handle! - Get a case It slides and rocks! - Get a case The speaker sucks! - It's either you get a good speaker or the phone won't be waterproof, use a bluetooth speaker ffs. The app organization sucks! - Get a app to fix that? Like the Nova launcher/client? There's too much bloatware! - There's ways to delete it chill out.
...... that isnt the point. The goal of a smartphone manufacturer isn't to make a phone that you have to buy a bunch of extras for to make it sufficient. It should be amazing out of the box, having to buy a case, a bluetooth speaker, put a launcher on your phone and go through and delete a bunch of apps manually is stuff that shouldn't be necessary and that is the ultimate goal... so shut up lmao, he is chill you are just being a dick and a troll
Seth King But it is the point. Most people buy cases anyway to protect their phone, and I usually just use headphones instead of my speaker. If you think it's a lot of work to delete a couple apps then I think you need to get over it. There isn't really much wrong with the S7 Edge.
Turtlenoodle AJ you're blind if you think that is an excuse. It's laziness. "Oh we could make a metal jacket phone that has waterproof front firing speakers and instead of a 7mm thin phone make it thicker and have kick ass battery.. but fuck it lets make it fragile and hard to hear and thin as fuck so people will spend extra money." THAT is why we don't have the perfect smartphone. designers saving money by making people spend more money to feel safe with a beneath the bar phone. so no, it isn't the point. being fragile and bloated is plenty reason not to buy it (I still would buy it but some won't). We could easily have the ultimate smartphone every year from samsung or apple or huawei or htc or whoever the fuck feels like giving us what we ask for. what we are paying for.
+Radu Blanc as I sit here replying to you with an s7 edge.... nope it is definitely not overrated. especially after Verizon gave $300 for my old phone and a $350 watch just to get this
No, Samsung's button placements are 100% right! I had a Moto G for 2 years, with the back button on the left and multitask one on the right. Once I got my Oneplus 3, I immediately changed the settings to off screen buttons with the back button on the right. Feels better.
Very very minor flaws like he said. The back button issue is silly, i used a Note 4 the last two years so if you are already on Samsung then switch to this, it's not a flaw lol...why should they switch their button placement to please people who use different Android devices? Also, the app drawer issue is silly, the beauty of Android is that most people won't even use Touch Wiz. I switch straight to Nova Launcher out the box, you can move the app drawer button where you want and make the app drawer do what you want. It's android people, all of this besides the back button can be customized
button placement should be the across Android. it discredits Android as an os for something as simple as that to be inconsistent and since Samsung is NOT the best or most official Android manufacturer they should follow suit of stock Android. it makes perfect sense.
I actually like samsungs placement of the back button, I use that more than the window list, and due to the large size of the phones, it really is convenient to have it there.
Typical Hypebeast Because plastic scratches very easily. The iPhone, for example, uses glass for the home screen. Not that I like the iPhone, I don't, but Apple's button feels more durable than Samsung's
i actually like the back button on the right side of the phone. I've only ever owned Samsung androids & Galaxy's so if it were any other way, i wouldn't like it & probably be slightly devastated lolll 😝
+Advait Varma Samsung's microusb port does fast charging. Is the reversible feature of the type-c THAT much of a advantage? Also usb type-c doesn't necessarily translate to usb 3.1
+Him Him Yeah. I actually held off getting a phone when the nexus 6p came out, because I didn't want type C. It's the future, but I have so many micro chargers and cords... convenient to not need new stuff.
+Denver Cayle Ong wireless changing doesnt use a port to charge ur phone, and they are so rich they could of easily developed a new USB C vr headset for all their future phones, are they just going to keep releasing phones with the same port forever? No. They should of switched now while everyone else is, instead of waiting to be pretty much the last phone that does.
the back button should remain on the right hand side. Samsung is doing it right. Most people are right handed and the back button is used more frequently than the app switch button. so it will be difficult to reach the back button with your thumb if it's on the left side.
Honestly, you'll adjust after a few days regardless of where the buttons are placed. When I used an HTC ONE M7 I didn't have a problem with the power button placement at the top left, nor did I have a problem with the weird capacitive home button placement. I adjusted. Switching to the Note 4, I adjusted again to button placements that I thought and still think are weird.
+Marv3Lthe1 I totally agree, I reconfigured all my Lollipop devices with the screen buttons to have the back button on the right. My G4 broke and I'm using an Asus AT&T pre paid phone as a temporary phone, and having the back button fixed on the left is just a pain.
+Dylan Smith As an HTC One M8 user, the biggest thing for me that is wrong with this phone is the speaker (which he only points out with text). I really like the S7 Edge and want to move over to it eventually, but considering the ONLY problem I have with my M8 is that the camera sucks, if the 10 has a better camera (I don't need anything crazy good, but better than the current one) I will not be leaving HTC just because of the amazing boom speakers. I don't need that external speakers or need to even plug into my car to get amazing sound which are to only get better supposedly with the new model coming out. I just want three major things in my phone. Great speakers, good camera and long battery life. I get two of these things out of my M8 and the speakers are more important to my use than the camera.
+Oshane Patterson Nexus 6P speakers ain't that good either. I'm having problems with one of the speaker being louder than the other like some other users at XDA. Until now there's no fix for it other than cranking the volume to the max.
Let me explain why the back button is on the right (the right side). The average user operates the phone one handed with his/her right hand. So imagine you're holding the phone in your right palm and want to go back, what finger would you use? Thumb, you say? what's closest to your thumb without causing awkward accidental touches? I rest my case.
saiprasad pashupulate Uhhhh. It would be on the left side. Why would my right thumb be on the right side of my phone? Do you actually have freakishly small hands?
Ken Bailey I have to stretch my right thumb to reach the left button. plus there are chances of accidental touches. easier to reach the button on the right.
+saiprasad pashupulate I have small thumbs and I have absolutely no problem reaching for the back button. I don't care which side its on, just as long as its there.
either way is fine, I'm using LG G4, and setting it up on the left, before I was using Note 5 and was pretty fine. korean made phone nowadays are awesome though
Pyry Jalonen I did, but isn't it kinda of weird that this is the first time he's done a video with such a such an extreme title, and also at the same time acting all sorry and sh*t...
+Kamila Balli As much as Samsung payed people to write bad reviews... At least i got evidence : www.idownloadblog.com/2013/04/17/samsung-fake-web-reviews/
absolutely not. the HTC 10 looks horrible to me. the design is worse than the m9s (which was worse than the beautiful m8) and they ditched boomsound. So disappointed
back button on the right is better imo, I tend you use the back button alot more than the app switcher button, so if you're like me and you hold your phone in your right hand, it's easier to have the back button on the right so you don't have to stretch your thumb across the screen if you have a big phone like me (I have the oneplus 2)
Sh4DoW x StoRm I just got Marshmallow on my M8 today, so I changed it too. Still getting used to going back. I had an S3 until last year. Loved that phone. So it's nice to relive that.
Get rid of the app drawer? Are you nuts? last thing I want is a crowded home screen. might as well get an iPhone in the case. I don't like any apps on my home screen. Organize, disable and Uninstall any apps you don't need. Select backup phone in case you need to do a factory reset and you could just set you preferences back to how you organized your phone instead of having to do all that again.
On screen button is easily one of the worst inventions ever. Samsung is doing the right thing by keeping the physical capacitive keys. Oh, and the back key that is on the right? It is a perfect placement for right handed people. And you called that a flaw? Props for Samsung and any other smartphone manufacturer for putting the back button on the right! That's how you do it!
Back on the right is a reason to buy the phone. My thumb couldn't reach the all the way to the left and I rarely use the multi-task button. Back on the right ftw
I like how you nitpick on small insignificant things out of good (and only) Samsung phones, make a dedicated video for it. But, NOT so much for the iPhones, even though there are a lot of flaws.
+Jeremy Pooran only if you have the phone or actively trying to get your hands on one. Samsung was doing this for a while now and it does annoy me. I mean the mixed button order and own apps. They are not even relevant. Samsung Fit? More like Samsung wants to know where you are while you are getting Fit. I really dislike bloatware. Can't wait until I get rid of my Samsung Galaxy S4 ( that nobody wants to buy on ads) and get Moto X Pure.
To me it seems logical to place the back button on the right side. Most people are right handed and the back button is what you use more often than the App kill/show button.
having the "back" button on the left is actually more convenient because it matches a standard keyboard where the backspace button is on the left too which pretty much serves a similar purpose.
I prefer back on right and multitask on left, it took a little bit of getting used to coming from other phones but this set up makes more sense for right handed single handed use, the right side it much easier to reach and back is used much more often than multitask. Also apps icons that end in the back of the drawer at first I though it was a nuisance but when you try out a lot of apps and remove them it's easier to find them. I do dislike that horizontal scrolling of the app drawer though. My biggest flaw of the s7(edge) and the reason I won't be upgrading from my s6 is no IR Blaster, it is such a useful feature I use so much every day (always lose the remote but never my phone)
Main thing pissing me off with this phone is accidentally tapping things from the edge of the screen when I'm just adjusting my grip. bloody annoying!!!!!!!!!!!😭 Since getting a Spiegan thin clear case it's perfect!! 😃
Melb VFX ...It's not the Edge Screen...it is ANY apps along the edges when holding your phone...and during a call, the pull down menu activates and turns things on and or off...DRIVES ME NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Karanbir Singh Bhullar i play a game called lol we have two summoners spell flash -others some keeps flash on D others on F why? which one is better ? this is same case with samsong back button how often you press each back -home-multitask? ''at this point an idea came in mind
so am I... but at some point it makes sense to change, and users will get uses to it fairly quickly (I've went Samsung to HTC and now going back to Samsung... you adapt after a few days).
David Ennis Eh, that's true. It just feels disingenuous to have nav buttons take up screen space. I mean I guess the screen size is the same with hardware or on-screen, but at least it doesn't show up in my screenshots and I can full screen much more easily.
Tip for ALL android users: You can get an app called smart launcher which gives the home screen a more tidier and neat look and also seperates your apps into: Communication (social media, phone etc.) Internet (Google, and some social media apps [don't ask why]) Games Media (TH-cam, Twitch etc.) Utility (Calculator, Google Translate etc.) and Settings. Just something to think about if you hate the standard home and app sorting
biggest flaw is this beautiful edge screen Samy was so press to make the phone so thin they didn't think of ppl with big hands touching the edge screen while holding the phone
I know... Like the back button...? I mean seriously... the note 4 had the back button on the right too so what's up with that? is Apple making vloggers say that... I hope not.
I think it is strange that people think the buttons on the Samsung phones are reversed. Who makes the most androids? I was on my third Samsung before I knew that all phones weren't that way.
Majority of the people are right handed. Majority of the people don't use the multitasking button as much as the back button, therefore back button is on the right for smoother experience...
+Berkin Ozkaynak It's about as easy to reach in the bottom left since you don't have to bend your thumb in weird ways, you can keep it straight(unlike the bottom right). It's preference and has nothing to do with which hand you use. Even if it were true, where is the left handed model? About 25% of the customers should be left handed so why would they leave those out? They should have just made it customisable, like all phone OS makers with an understanding of user experience
I don't get the people saying having it on the right is more accessible for right handed people. Are you dumb, or do you have freakishly small hands/fingers? Back goes on the left side since it's more accessible for right handed people. Not that I use it as much as multitasking, since I have an entire touchscreen to press "back" on, but still. When you hold your phone, your thumb goes almost all the way across to the left side. How is that convenient when you put the back button to the right as well?
I decided to go with the S7, not the edge, for just one particular reason: My heel of hand is bigger than usual. I've had the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact prior to the S7, and even though it doesn't have a curved display, I always blocked the lower right edge of the screen. Now, I know that Samsung tried hard to fix this kind of problem with a special software update, but I heard from various S7 edge owners, that the problem is still very present. Since I don't really mind the bigger display or the larger battery, the S7 is just the PERFECT smartphone for me!
most people are right handed. and the thing is that you use the back button more often than the multitasking. it's easier to reach the back button if you are holding the phone in your right hand. and Samsung have always been having the back button on the right side and multitasking/options button on left side. do not judge samsung
+The Everyicated Gamer well that sucks. it is very dumb that phone companies dont think about left handed people. but you can always hold the phone in two hands😉
I hope they never switch the order of the buttons... I've been using only Samsdung phones to date (from the Ace to the S3 mini to the S4 mini, planning on getting the S7) and I HATE it whenever I have to use another phone without that button placement! I use the "back" button way more than the function button, and since I'm left-handed it's just so convenient for one-handed use.
2:10 Most of the people are right handed and it's a large phone, so it's harder to keep it in one hand and always be clicking on the left button with your finger to go back. It's more often used button so that's why they put it on the right side, so it can be closer and easier to use.
I think the back button is on the right of the device because most people are right handed and you can press it easier with your thumb rather than stretching your finger right over the device. I questioned the same thing, but after thinking about it, it became obvious.
Well Google apps are much better than their Samsung counterparts, so maybe Samsung should focus their energy on something other than trying to recreate every Google app.
Wisteria Berlitz the samsung galaxy s series is great for buying used ones, i mean people who can afford a s6 when it comes out probably are going to buy the s7, like the iphone buisness.. check ebay, a lot of people there selling their s6's for very very cheap
The problem is I live in Mexico, right now I own the Xperia E4 it's alright, but something like the 6 Edge is about 12,000 pesos which is about 600 bucks, used ones are around 8000, which around 400 dls.
Hey MKBHD the slider moves and the little quirks you put in the cinematography and visual illusions you create and make these videos is really inspiring..beginners can learn many things from shooting to editing videos😎 keep up the good work..
wtf you care about the back button being on the right c'mon, first of all samsung is samsung and their placements of buttons is one of the reasons ofwhat they are known for and besides that's not a flaw
hey, i bought my phone day before and am experiencing home button issue which doesn't work when tapped at the edges. Also, it doesn't look perfectly aligned to the body, with its black part under the home button visible towards the right. Are you facing any such problem?
Once you make the switch to the right-hand side back button it makes a lot of sense. Most people are right-handed and use the back button way more than the tab button, and it's much easier to reach with the thumb. Of course, Marques seems to have pretty long digits, and he uses different phones all the time. In those cases, the button placement is at best inconvenient.
I'm right handed and I use back more than any other button so I like it being on the right.
I agree it's way better on the right side samsung does it right!
Yep. And it's different. Why go with the program and copy other devices.
+Michael Miller same here :D
agree
+Marques Brownlee back button is on the right on my note 3
I like how the back button is on the right. I think it is just a matter of preference.
I agree
Its good because i use the back button the most
i like it too because im a righty
+raykupal do you have an S6 or S6 Edge?
+NoLimit56 Gaming s7 edge
as a person whos been using samsung for the last 5 years, if they change the back button to the left I will be angry I literally will lose my shits.
i find the back button in samsung better than the others because it's easier if you grab the phone with one hand to hit the back button...
Omar Ben Sassi IKR! exactly my point!
Kelly Lee i know i just confirmed what you said...the big flaws for me :
the finger prints is a big flaw...very big flaw...the glass on the back is the worst thing samsung ever made i have note 5 and fingerprints always piss me off...i know it's premium but you can do premium with metal like other phones...when you use your phone in a coffee always people see finger prints like seeing you having a dirty phone...
the speaker place too i always cut the sound when playing games because my finger touch speaker place...
Omar Ben Sassi I ordered a new gold s7 the other day and just waiting for its arrival and I must say, I highly did prefer the plastic backs of the galaxies. But it really shouldn't matter if you put a case on it??
a case kills the design...what's the point of having a great design and thin phone if you put a case on it...
good choice for the s7 but i prefer big screens so i am waiting for the next note 6 who will be called the note 7 because they will skip a number to keep up with s series...with usb type C and iris scanner,ip68 and sd card slot...,6gb of ram ...the note 6/7 will kill all phones...it's worth the 2 months waiting
But seriously who actually types on a table.
More than you can comprehend.
+Batman oh yeah let me go look for a table so I can type because my lazy ass can't hold a phone and type for 10 seconds
20BulletProof10 Oh yeah let me forcefully pick up a phone next to me on the table just so I can write something..
It's called a mobile phone for a reason... it's not stuck to a wall like a house phone... most people pick up and look at it and besides not everyone sits at a table to use it
+20BulletProof10 but if it's on a table, people will type like that. Stop telling others how to use their phone
Most people are right handed so having your most used button(back) closer to you makes more sense than recent apps which you use less often.
Agree
Having your back button close to you makes your thumb bend awkwardly. Much more natural to have the back button on the left side.
+jwc731 agreed
+mark hanna I disagree, I find it a lot easier having the back button on the right and I normally use my phone with my right hand
+GoWILD tbh, at this point, what your more comfortable is what you've been using on your Android device the whole time. However your natural resting position of your thumb generally is closer to the left side of the phone.
how is back always on the left? if you're used to Samsung devices, this is the way it's been...
Yeah... Samsung always did the Back button on the right & it was good, but now it's *"bad"*
no
+Skitty™ | Garry's Mod Player That's how we do it
+Enes Nadir Comoglu its actually better i think

AGREED. TOTALLY!
with other words it has no real flaws and has a headphone jack what we all need
Menno SWED headphones. Lol who uses wires.
Sackmatters I do, Bluetooth headphones either have a really bad sound quality or are really expensive.
how do you charge your phone? Samsung made wireless charging which is much better than bluetooth airpods
You charge your phone with a USB cable, and listen to music with a 3.5mm jack.. What's so hard for Apple (and Lenovo with the Moto Z) to understand?
But you can't really hold a wireless charger in your hands, though. It's too bulky and doesn't magnetically attach to the phone.
Fingerprints! - Get a skin/case
It feels weird to handle! - Get a case
It slides and rocks! - Get a case
The speaker sucks! - It's either you get a good speaker or the phone won't be waterproof, use a bluetooth speaker ffs.
The app organization sucks! - Get a app to fix that? Like the Nova launcher/client?
There's too much bloatware! - There's ways to delete it chill out.
...... that isnt the point. The goal of a smartphone manufacturer isn't to make a phone that you have to buy a bunch of extras for to make it sufficient. It should be amazing out of the box, having to buy a case, a bluetooth speaker, put a launcher on your phone and go through and delete a bunch of apps manually is stuff that shouldn't be necessary and that is the ultimate goal...
so shut up lmao, he is chill you are just being a dick and a troll
Tru
Seth King But it is the point. Most people buy cases anyway to protect their phone, and I usually just use headphones instead of my speaker. If you think it's a lot of work to delete a couple apps then I think you need to get over it. There isn't really much wrong with the S7 Edge.
And what about glass design which breaks easily? Get a cover? Yeah, and again it breaks so easy.
Turtlenoodle AJ you're blind if you think that is an excuse.
It's laziness. "Oh we could make a metal jacket phone that has waterproof front firing speakers and instead of a 7mm thin phone make it thicker and have kick ass battery.. but fuck it lets make it fragile and hard to hear and thin as fuck so people will spend extra money." THAT is why we don't have the perfect smartphone. designers saving money by making people spend more money to feel safe with a beneath the bar phone.
so no, it isn't the point. being fragile and bloated is plenty reason not to buy it (I still would buy it but some won't). We could easily have the ultimate smartphone every year from samsung or apple or huawei or htc or whoever the fuck feels like giving us what we ask for. what we are paying for.

You're too picky , these aren't any real flaws really 😒
Because there are no flaws
The only flay I can think of is the home button not being made out of glass, but plastic
Why would the home button be glass -_-...
Typical Hypebeast Because plastic scratches very easily. The iPhone, for example, uses glass for the home screen. Not that I like the iPhone, I don't, but Apple's button feels more durable than Samsung's

+Marques Brownlee Thanks for being so honest, that's why I subscribe! Can't wait to see the full review.
+Marques Brownlee omg its not a fake account 😂😂😂
+Marques Brownlee Ohhh mmmmmmm gggggggg
No usb-c turned me away.
+V.H.S how is USB type C a problem? just curious.
You are complaining about stuff that Samsung has done since the Galaxy S3
and thats a fact
i actually like the back button on the right side of the phone. I've only ever owned Samsung androids & Galaxy's so if it were any other way, i wouldn't like it & probably be slightly devastated lolll 😝
also there's no USB c
yes indeed, it's shockingly unbelievable! very disappointed & angry with Sammy for not backing this lovely little port!!
+Deepak NR they can't yet cause there accessories are micro usb like the vr,wireless charging and they probably produced so much micro usb ports
+Advait Varma Samsung's microusb port does fast charging. Is the reversible feature of
the type-c THAT much of a advantage? Also usb type-c doesn't
necessarily translate to usb 3.1
+Him Him Yeah. I actually held off getting a phone when the nexus 6p came out, because I didn't want type C. It's the future, but I have so many micro chargers and cords... convenient to not need new stuff.
+Denver Cayle Ong wireless changing doesnt use a port to charge ur phone, and they are so rich they could of easily developed a new USB C vr headset for all their future phones, are they just going to keep releasing phones with the same port forever? No. They should of switched now while everyone else is, instead of waiting to be pretty much the last phone that does.
the back button should remain on the right hand side. Samsung is doing it right. Most people are right handed and the back button is used more frequently than the app switch button. so it will be difficult to reach the back button with your thumb if it's on the left side.
+Marv3Lthe1 Agree!
Honestly, you'll adjust after a few days regardless of where the buttons are placed. When I used an HTC ONE M7 I didn't have a problem with the power button placement at the top left, nor did I have a problem with the weird capacitive home button placement. I adjusted. Switching to the Note 4, I adjusted again to button placements that I thought and still think are weird.
+Marv3Lthe1 I totally agree, I reconfigured all my Lollipop devices with the screen buttons to have the back button on the right. My G4 broke and I'm using an Asus AT&T pre paid phone as a temporary phone, and having the back button fixed on the left is just a pain.
+Marv3Lthe1 It should be on the left for consistency. How would you like it if your copy of windows magically had the task bar on the bottom flipped?
Such minor things to complain about..
+Dylan Smith
>On a phone this good, the little things can drive you nuts.
his description
Bloatwares annoy me so much. I hate every single one of those useless apps that come pre-installed.
+Dylan Smith As an HTC One M8 user, the biggest thing for me that is wrong with this phone is the speaker (which he only points out with text).
I really like the S7 Edge and want to move over to it eventually, but considering the ONLY problem I have with my M8 is that the camera sucks, if the 10 has a better camera (I don't need anything crazy good, but better than the current one) I will not be leaving HTC just because of the amazing boom speakers.
I don't need that external speakers or need to even plug into my car to get amazing sound which are to only get better supposedly with the new model coming out. I just want three major things in my phone. Great speakers, good camera and long battery life. I get two of these things out of my M8 and the speakers are more important to my use than the camera.
+Justin Klumpp Yup! I have been a long time HTC user but I wanna try something but, sound is what keeps me from leaving it
+Oshane Patterson Nexus 6P speakers ain't that good either. I'm having problems with one of the speaker being louder than the other like some other users at XDA. Until now there's no fix for it other than cranking the volume to the max.
I have had back on the right my whole life... never had a phone with back on the left.
Htc gives option
I like to have back on right it is easier to reach on right
Wait I thought the back button was always on the right
yeah
It is
i would never use phone with back button on the left
"Phone is so good that it makes its tiny flaws, it's BIG FLAWS!" - MKBHD 2016
who said BACK is always on the left???? Samsung always had it on right...and rightly so...
aliwalyd3 lol it's a pun.
"Right-ly so"
Let me explain why the back button is on the right (the right side). The average user operates the phone one handed with his/her right hand. So imagine you're holding the phone in your right palm and want to go back, what finger would you use? Thumb, you say? what's closest to your thumb without causing awkward accidental touches? I rest my case.
saiprasad pashupulate Uhhhh. It would be on the left side. Why would my right thumb be on the right side of my phone? Do you actually have freakishly small hands?
Ken Bailey I have to stretch my right thumb to reach the left button. plus there are chances of accidental touches. easier to reach the button on the right.
+saiprasad pashupulate I have small thumbs and I have absolutely no problem reaching for the back button. I don't care which side its on, just as long as its there.
hmm, I don't think that is the case.
saiprasad pashupulate I think you are just "accustomed" to it.
samsung always had these multitask buttons so i don't think thats a Negative point
Having the back button on the left is idiotic. I have an LG G5 and I had to reorder the buttons. It's like those phones are made for leftys...
tetsuokenpachi Exactly! I am right-handed so I prefer the back button to be on the right side for easier reach.
Hater.
Robert Teepell
Hater of what???????????
you done?
CoLive Corruption who?
guess if it was a apple it would be perfect
I hope you are trolling.
True.
Amen
If I was an Apple I would eat it.
Ur a disgrace
I like the back button to be on the right instead of left
me too
same
either way is fine, I'm using LG G4, and setting it up on the left, before I was using Note 5 and was pretty fine. korean made phone nowadays are awesome though
I like the button backwards toi
same. I don't know anyone who has it on the left, the back button I mean
Best notification of the week.
absolutely
+Alex G but its only 4 min
Yasser Salkho I don't care. Still the best notification I've gotten this week. (And I get way too many notifications.)
you look beautiful
+skylineGT Thanks!
so this will be a good upgrade form my s4 ☺
Same
+stephen harney i have an s3 and i agree this would be an amazing phone to upgrade to
I'm also using an S4! :)
+stephen harney Everybody on the S4 upgrade train!!!
Ashchu117 everyonaboard
Okay now MKBHD, how much did Apple pay you for this video???
You didn't even watch the video, did you.
hahahahahahahahaahaa
Pyry Jalonen I did, but isn't it kinda of weird that this is the first time he's done a video with such a such an extreme title, and also at the same time acting all sorry and sh*t...
Lol I'm a Samsung phone user and I think this video did more good than bad. Obviously no phone is perfect whatsoever.
+Kamila Balli As much as Samsung payed people to write bad reviews...
At least i got evidence : www.idownloadblog.com/2013/04/17/samsung-fake-web-reviews/
Who said that the back button should be on the left side?
desert storm Europeans
So....
Anybody else waiting on the HTC 10 and One X9?
No.
+Darrin Ramlochan no
absolutely not. the HTC 10 looks horrible to me. the design is worse than the m9s (which was worse than the beautiful m8) and they ditched boomsound. So disappointed
+Darrin Ramlochan just for the 10 :)
X9 for me. The M10 is disappointing
back button on the right is better imo, I tend you use the back button alot more than the app switcher button, so if you're like me and you hold your phone in your right hand, it's easier to have the back button on the right so you don't have to stretch your thumb across the screen if you have a big phone like me (I have the oneplus 2)
to*
Agreed
yaaaaaas
If you have a OnePlus Two, just set the right button as the back button.
Sh4DoW x StoRm I just got Marshmallow on my M8 today, so I changed it too. Still getting used to going back. I had an S3 until last year. Loved that phone. So it's nice to relive that.
hey mkbhd, the the position of back button is not a flaw
Get rid of the app drawer? Are you nuts? last thing I want is a crowded home screen. might as well get an iPhone in the case. I don't like any apps on my home screen. Organize, disable and Uninstall any apps you don't need. Select backup phone in case you need to do a factory reset and you could just set you preferences back to how you organized your phone instead of having to do all that again.
If those are the only flaws a great reviewer can find. Then that phone is a masterpiece.
On screen button is easily one of the worst inventions ever. Samsung is doing the right thing by keeping the physical capacitive keys. Oh, and the back key that is on the right? It is a perfect placement for right handed people. And you called that a flaw? Props for Samsung and any other smartphone manufacturer for putting the back button on the right! That's how you do it!
I agree. Their are more right handed people out there.
Back on the right is a reason to buy the phone.
My thumb couldn't reach the all the way to the left and I rarely use the multi-task button. Back on the right ftw
bruh
tiny hands
Agreeeed. 👍👍👍
Agreeeed. 👍👍👍
+Ht Bloozyy I have no trouble with back on left until I started using "phablets" where it's further/harder to reach.
What phone are you using?
I like how you nitpick on small insignificant things out of good (and only) Samsung phones, make a dedicated video for it.
But, NOT so much for the iPhones, even though there are a lot of flaws.
Not like he said "The best phone out right now" at the beginning of the video? He is just giving a heads up to people before they buy.
Mkbhd is smasung fan, he hates HTC , sony since they don't pay him
Wow some of these comments are rude.
Anyway, I laughed really hard at the fact that your folders were called "why" lmao.
+SakuraKisetsu Just noticed that now! Can't un-see. xD
+SakuraKisetsu Agreed. LMAO! Thank you for throwing that out there.
this video was not necessary
Really disappointing video ...
the problems were small
Personally, I think it's. It reminds us the the S7 has its flaws too and it's not a perfect device, like what many reviewers clam.
+Jeremy Pooran only if you have the phone or actively trying to get your hands on one. Samsung was doing this for a while now and it does annoy me. I mean the mixed button order and own apps. They are not even relevant. Samsung Fit? More like Samsung wants to know where you are while you are getting Fit. I really dislike bloatware. Can't wait until I get rid of my Samsung Galaxy S4 ( that nobody wants to buy on ads) and get Moto X Pure.
I agree. I don't get the point of this video.
To me it seems logical to place the back button on the right side. Most people are right handed and the back button is what you use more often than the App kill/show button.
I thought the same thing
having the "back" button on the left is actually more convenient because it matches a standard keyboard where the backspace button is on the left too which pretty much serves a similar purpose.
Robby R Pretty sure the backspace key is on the right?
omg..I messed up with "left" and "right" lol
it should be the other way around. Thanks for reminding me bro.
i must admit samsung made me its fan by this phone...its amazing
I prefer back on right and multitask on left, it took a little bit of getting used to coming from other phones but this set up makes more sense for right handed single handed use, the right side it much easier to reach and back is used much more often than multitask.
Also apps icons that end in the back of the drawer at first I though it was a nuisance but when you try out a lot of apps and remove them it's easier to find them. I do dislike that horizontal scrolling of the app drawer though.
My biggest flaw of the s7(edge) and the reason I won't be upgrading from my s6 is no IR Blaster, it is such a useful feature I use so much every day (always lose the remote but never my phone)
Main thing pissing me off with this phone is accidentally tapping things from the edge of the screen when I'm just adjusting my grip. bloody annoying!!!!!!!!!!!😭
Since getting a Spiegan thin clear case it's perfect!! 😃
When the bezels being too thin are a problem, you know it's a good phone.
you know you could disable the whole edge thing completely right lol
Melb VFX ...It's not the Edge Screen...it is ANY apps along the edges when holding your phone...and during a call, the pull down menu activates and turns things on and or off...DRIVES ME NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
budrfly57 exactly.
saaaaaammmmmeeeee
OH NOE THE APP GOES TO THE LAST PAGE AND THE BUTTONS ARE SWITCHED!!!!! MADNESS !
i like the back button on the right?! feels normal if you ask me!!
it does feel correct cause it is
stupid Americans have to have everything on the wrong side
+Karanbir Singh Bhullar i play a game called lol
we have two summoners spell flash -others
some keeps flash on D others on F
why? which one is better ?
this is same case with samsong back button
how often you press each back -home-multitask?
''at this point an idea came in mind
+JRT313 The Note 4 has that too so I didn't see a problem to that either haha
You know You made a Really great phone, when its biggest flaws are just nitpicking
Exactly, and I like the white version the best anyway, so finger prints isn't a thing
2:14 But what about people who are used to the Samsung ecosystem? It's normal for my "back" to be on the right.
so am I... but at some point it makes sense to change, and users will get uses to it fairly quickly (I've went Samsung to HTC and now going back to Samsung... you adapt after a few days).
David Ennis
Eh, that's true. It just feels disingenuous to have nav buttons take up screen space. I mean I guess the screen size is the same with hardware or on-screen, but at least it doesn't show up in my screenshots and I can full screen much more easily.
watching this review again as i am having to say goodbye to my 7 year old s7 edge.
what a goat
Before watching this video, I am guessing there aren't any flaws. hehehe! we'll see...
aaaaand, I was right! 😛
lol
+NikosNisyros I have it and love it but it has its flaws. If people don't point them out they never get fixed for upcoming versions.
+Michael Byléhn How do you have it? The release date is March 11.
+Nishesh Sai T-Mobile shipped them out weeks ago. Tons of people have had theirs for a week or more
i personally like the back button on the right because i use it wayyyy more
+Liam Riker Me too. One reason I hate onscreen buttons besides the waste of screen space, is the backwards to samsung layout.
Back buttom on the right makes so much more sense... specially when you're right handed.
I wish it was on the left I'm right handed
im right handed and i like it on left
I know right! :D Damn, I would be so sad if they were to change that :(
Tip for ALL android users: You can get an app called smart launcher which gives the home screen a more tidier and neat look and also seperates your apps into:
Communication (social media, phone etc.)
Internet (Google, and some social media apps [don't ask why])
Games
Media (TH-cam, Twitch etc.)
Utility (Calculator, Google Translate etc.)
and Settings.
Just something to think about if you hate the standard home and app sorting
biggest flaw is this beautiful edge screen Samy was so press to make the phone so thin they didn't think of ppl with big hands touching the edge screen while holding the phone
montanatru it is a problem but you can adapt to the edge screen and get used to it and avoid accidentally pressing things all the time
Marques, such a waste of time making and then watching this video. Are this flaws even worth mentioning?
Yes.
+Banana11 no the complains are bull shit
+Pravin Narvekar Some of us are trying to buy a phone and appreciate even the smallest flaws being brought to light.
I know... Like the back button...? I mean seriously... the note 4 had the back button on the right too so what's up with that? is Apple making vloggers say that... I hope not.
Rightly said
lol, was a huge fan of yours and didnt expect this from you! seriously?!!
+Tarequl Islam (Ridoy) I know what you mean. I've just unsubscribed from him and I'm going to try and hack him big time.
What did he do?
+Kinglet lol have fun "hacking" him.
he didn't do anything
he still likes the phone, he's just stating the MINOR flaws
I think it is strange that people think the buttons on the Samsung phones are reversed. Who makes the most androids? I was on my third Samsung before I knew that all phones weren't that way.
Majority of the people are right handed. Majority of the people don't use the multitasking button as much as the back button, therefore back button is on the right for smoother experience...
Unless you have tiny thumbs it's more natural for right handed people to reach for a back button the left side.
+Berkin Ozkaynak It's about as easy to reach in the bottom left since you don't have to bend your thumb in weird ways, you can keep it straight(unlike the bottom right).
It's preference and has nothing to do with which hand you use. Even if it were true, where is the left handed model? About 25% of the customers should be left handed so why would they leave those out? They should have just made it customisable, like all phone OS makers with an understanding of user experience
I have an s3 and it can't wait till I get the s7 edge. what color should I get
Silver for sure
+Rob Weeks ok
+Hayden Schroeder titanium silver looks like a beast
Gold
just ordered mine. I got black onyx. coming from s4
I phone 11 comes out
TH-cam: here watch a video on a 3 year old phone.
I don't get the people saying having it on the right is more accessible for right handed people. Are you dumb, or do you have freakishly small hands/fingers?
Back goes on the left side since it's more accessible for right handed people. Not that I use it as much as multitasking, since I have an entire touchscreen to press "back" on, but still.
When you hold your phone, your thumb goes almost all the way across to the left side. How is that convenient when you put the back button to the right as well?
Ken Bailey Well most people have only ever bought samsung android phones so to them it's normal and they're used to it.
Don't Force your Imperial System on Metric users...
I'm picking mine up today and I've only owned an iPhone 4 so you know I'm pretty excited, lol!
I'm happy for you!
I decided to go with the S7, not the edge, for just one particular reason: My heel of hand is bigger than usual. I've had the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact prior to the S7, and even though it doesn't have a curved display, I always blocked the lower right edge of the screen. Now, I know that Samsung tried hard to fix this kind of problem with a special software update, but I heard from various S7 edge owners, that the problem is still very present. Since I don't really mind the bigger display or the larger battery, the S7 is just the PERFECT smartphone for me!
This phone is a toaster now,if you wanna fry eggs this phone is for you🤣
Got my s7 edge today! so happy :)
+Joachim Johnsen nice
I had this phone for less then 24hrs and it's not that serious. You can always customize it to fit your needs.
Samsung will be like : wat are you trying to say m8? 3:23 tiny flaws and you named the video as Biggest Flaws! [ Click Bait Alert]
most people are right handed. and the thing is that you use the back button more often than the multitasking. it's easier to reach the back button if you are holding the phone in your right hand. and Samsung have always been having the back button on the right side and multitasking/options button on left side. do not judge samsung
But what if you hold your phone in your left hand like me?
+The Everyicated Gamer well that sucks. it is very dumb that phone companies dont think about left handed people. but you can always hold the phone in two hands😉
back on the right is always better choice for majority of population that's right handed. Google should have learn from Samsung.
+Khoo yao jiunn Except you can change the order of the on phone buttons whereas you cant for Samsungs
+RykoDimSim I don't see your point.
Leon Yang You cant change the order of the samsung buttons whereas you can for the onscreen buttons
RykoDimSim Is English not your first language?
+Leon Yang no, you're dumb...
I hope they never switch the order of the buttons... I've been using only Samsdung phones to date (from the Ace to the S3 mini to the S4 mini, planning on getting the S7) and I HATE it whenever I have to use another phone without that button placement! I use the "back" button way more than the function button, and since I'm left-handed it's just so convenient for one-handed use.
it says 1 view, I DID IT MOM! Hey Marques :D
2:10 Most of the people are right handed and it's a large phone, so it's harder to keep it in one hand and always be clicking on the left button with your finger to go back. It's more often used button so that's why they put it on the right side, so it can be closer and easier to use.
nope it's harder to press back when it is that close to to your thumb, we'll have to angle more.
the nit picking on where icons go IS STUPID. just move them.
backwards should be on the right since most poeple are right handed. so yeah samsung is doing it right. the rest wrong
+MyBluePlane Exactly what i was thinking...Fuck back button on the left
I love the back button on the right !
I think the back button is on the right of the device because most people are right handed and you can press it easier with your thumb rather than stretching your finger right over the device. I questioned the same thing, but after thinking about it, it became obvious.
Don't blame Samsung for bloat, blame your Lord Google for forcing OEMs to install their Gapps package.
Alexandre amen to that. Damn im so annoyed by those "play" features.
Alexandre they give android for freee.... they caaan force😬..
Its the os , they can do whatever , which Samsung app is way better than google? Most google apps are better than Samsung with very few exceptions
Well Google apps are much better than their Samsung counterparts, so maybe Samsung should focus their energy on something other than trying to recreate every Google app.
I can't wait 4 years! to the time I'll be able to pay for the s6 edge!
+AlXV why do you want that phone is you're on a budget :D
+FUEL UNITS he's waiting for the time where it'll be cheap(er) ;)
Wisteria Berlitz the samsung galaxy s series is great for buying used ones, i mean people who can afford a s6 when it comes out probably are going to buy the s7, like the iphone buisness.. check ebay, a lot of people there selling their s6's for very very cheap
The problem is I live in Mexico, right now I own the Xperia E4 it's alright, but something like the 6 Edge is about 12,000 pesos which is about 600 bucks, used ones are around 8000, which around 400 dls.
Marques been doing some push ups. Maybe I'll do a few tomorrow or next week.
+Marques Brownlee DONT LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS
+Marques Brownlee and today i say tomorrow, and tomorrow i say after tomorrow, and that is how i live my ladies and gentlemen
+Marques Brownlee Yesterday you said tomorrow* :3
+Marques Brownlee Just do it.
+ganjabobby Don't let your dreams be dreams.
I'm late but... i luv the back button on the right and recents on the left.... it's the best placement....
guys, should i buy the s7 edge now, or just wait for s8?
nah...u should wait for s10
Ahmad Muqri ...really?
You should go for the S7 edge it's a really a good phone
S7
I also need help I don't know which phone should I choose: iPhone 7 Plus or S7 Edge
needed to mention the REMOVAL of the IR BLASTER!!!
The biggest flaw of this video is Marques Brownlee.
Hey MKBHD the slider moves and the little quirks you put in the cinematography and visual illusions you create and make these videos is really inspiring..beginners can learn many things from shooting to editing videos😎 keep up the good work..
The ONLY flaw with this phone is that when you hold it it press the edges of the screen ALL THE TIME
Yep. the s6 edge has that problem too... but I'm used to it.
OldDrunkMusic I don't touch the edge of the screen by accident
wtf you care about the back button being on the right c'mon, first of all samsung is samsung and their placements of buttons is one of the reasons ofwhat they are known for and besides that's not a flaw
watching through my Galaxy 7 edge
s7*
+R1KAV3R black
i want to buy this phone, so do you think it will lag after 2 years
right lol
hey, i bought my phone day before and am experiencing home button issue which doesn't work when tapped at the edges. Also, it doesn't look perfectly aligned to the body, with its black part under the home button visible towards the right. Are you facing any such problem?
Once you make the switch to the right-hand side back button it makes a lot of sense. Most people are right-handed and use the back button way more than the tab button, and it's much easier to reach with the thumb. Of course, Marques seems to have pretty long digits, and he uses different phones all the time. In those cases, the button placement is at best inconvenient.
Anyone's with me? I'm feel more comfortable when having back button on left side of home btn, and I'm righthanded
