+Valentin Burger Just because you don't like Apple doesn't mean you have to create lies about them. I have an iPhone 6s Plus and it's amazing at all three supposed downfalls that you just mentioned. The battery life is insanely good, especially with standby; the display looks amazing even though it's only 1080p (it looks like it's printed on); and the camera is also fantastic. Maybe try to minimize your criticisms if you've never used one. And no, I'm not an Apple fanboy. I've had Android devices all my life, including over 10 Nexuses, and have an S7 edge on order.
+Richard Gao I'm a Samsung G N5 user but to be onest i like Iphone 6s Plus very much and i'm agree with you , Iphone has a good display i think the only Apple can make good displays that can compete with Amoled made it by Samsung. Of course i like more my Note 5 than Iphone 6s Plus but Iphone it is a good phone!!!
I'm an iPhone user, and an avid one. But lately Samsung has been stepping up their game in a way that would take Apple years to do so. Yes Samsung is ripping the hell out of Apple's products for years, but seriously guys, who fucking cares? Apple steals and everyone steals. At least Sam listens to people's complains and addresses them (e.g. microSD and Battery life). That was the long version of me saying: I'm done with you Apple.
+giorattin1 No I won't. What Samsung offers here is just gorgeous, and would take Apple three years, at least, to achieve, and when it does, it would be pricey as fuck. Apple isn't as great as it used to be. Yes I respect what the company did, and how almost everyone is trying to take something from it. What I want to say is: What Apple is proud of, and always brags about isn't enough in 2016.
+Pruthvi Sujeeth Touchwiz isn't the problem, it's the crap they tie to touchwiz to add unnecessary bloat to the device and that secretly take up ram. Such as multi-window, edge stripe, and what not. I just wished Samsung would keep the apps that are downloadable via the Play Store or the Galaxy App Store there so they'd get installed in the download section of the root system to be able to be deleted if not needed anymore.
+VariTimo lol year 3 they are gonna run put of ideas and get left in the dust like HTC did in 2015, the M7 was their new design, M8 was their refinement, and the M9 was a refinement of a refinement, now they are dying for to make a new deign and samsung is gonna be next soon and thats when HTC will make their come back
***** ok that's a very rude way for me to put it but just the way he talks gets on your nerves , his entire tone is like "hey guys can you believe that Apple isn't the only one who makes good phones these days, I can't believe it can you ? "
+Mihir Sumant so wait saying "perhaps the best android phone you can buy right now" is kissing apples ass? Android, IOS and even Windows are completely different platforms so yes it is correct to say "PERHAPS the best android phone you can buy" as there are still plenty coming out this year that look promising LG G5 etc etc etc hell even Huawei surprised everyone with the Nexus 6p
+Pearl the rebel Black is less destructing , less reflective, looks Damn badass i think you are bored because you already have 2 black iPhones . Silver is beautiful thought
Pearl the rebel idk which to get I want silver but I hate the fact it has fingerprints so reason I might go with black is because d brand has a matte black back skin I might use if I get black but silver is way better looking. and I don't want to but a case on either cause of how good the phone looks
I have to agree. I saw this phone at the store today its really beautiful no other words for it. The curved edges are glorious and the phone is butter smooth all around. Just a beautiful specimen.
Great review. I'm an Apple person but man, for the first time I'm really impressed a Samsung phone and for the first time I would consider one when I upgrade sometime later this year. What would keep me from getting it is lack of timely software updates (especially crucial security ones) and the possible lag it could get that people complain about with Android phones.
+Dango Ruiz Don't worry about the 'lag'. It's a stupid stereotype with Androids, unless your getting a cheap android phone (S7 obviously isn't) there isn't going to be any lag. My dad has a S4 and it's wayy faster than my cheaper 250 AUD Moto G 2nd gen.
I have the s7 edge. It's a great phone so far. Would t like to go out without a case though. I installed nova launcher, turned off always on screen and edge features and I'm happy.
+James Clark yeah happy to see that there's actual competition and not just from samsung in the end we all end up benefiting from these companies pushing each other. The 6s and 6s+ are already beasts with that ridiculously fast processor can only imagine what the 7 will bring to the table and even then the 6 was a perfect phone (no i don't own one) so lets see what they add :)
finally, the camera doesn't stick out like a fucking piece of something that sticks out way too much. got rid of my S6 because of that. great to see larger battery and an SD card, looks like they took all the criticism and actually listed to it!
I don't understand why people are complaining about the GS7 design which didn't change this year, Apple are selling the same iPhone every year with outdated hardware !!!
The quality of the review itself....the video editing, the atmosphere, all top notch. I probably enjoyed the review more than I was interested in the phone
he doesn't even talk about how fast the auto focus is and how great the camera is in low light condition. in stead he just said "still yellowish pic in low light"- well guess what YOU can't even see those yellowish light in other smartphones because you can't see anything there
Besides copying ios . Touchwiz is ugly cause icons are overly rounded making it UGLY. Like it or Not Agree or Disagree. Its too ugly to put on a phone. The icons are more of cartoons fit for children books rather than be a Smartphone Ui FYI there are many good themes. I know you can change wallpaper but The background is dark and makes it unjust for such quality display to have so crappy wallpaper.
+Zairrd Vordenta That still doesn't make it ugly. If it's really ugly people wouldn't buy it. These touchwiz loaded phones are selling in millions. You just hate Samsung and so it looks ugly to you.
dexternepo S7 is a great phone. People will buy it despite the horrible TouchWiz Touchwiz is ugly but it provides some functionality and its considerably less resource hogging than other versions of touchwiz. People will buy it because PEOPLE KNOW LAUNCHERS AND TOUCHWIZ THEMES CAN FIX THAT. Why would i hate samsung ??? Also if you're telling me that TouchWiz is not ugly then You need to know more about Ui and check playstore themes/iconpacks check ios 8/9 and this side by side and if there was a vote many people would go with ios 8/9 The icons need to be clean and suitable How many youtube commenters have labelled it Ugly a million times ???? You dont get it
***** So what's your point ?? Calling touchwiz ugly is subjective ??? Run a survey and majority will hate it. The icons are considerably less detailed compared to stock android. They look like cartoons. NEXT YOU THINK ABOUT ARGUING WITH ME TRY TO FIND SOME MEANING IN MY """ PREVIOUS COMMENTS """"
***** LG G3/G4 are different and better than touchwiz. Htc's Sense is awesome. I dont need a UI that serves to disgust rather than changing our perspections about UI. Touchwiz-esque designs are more suitable for Huawei/Alcatel/Apple smartphones. Or lets just say for mid tier samsung phone. This is a FLAGSHIP PHONE. This means it gets more shit,hype,features and Popularity most importantly than any other Samsung phone That essentialy boils down to :- Flagship phones should appeal to their "going to be " Owners as well as makin things easier.

Melanie Kim I love stock Android but touchwiz has really improved a lot. It has really useful features that stock doesn't too. I'm gonna pick this phone up this week. I'll be upgrading from my Nexus 6
In low light you just need to adjust the white balance which shouldn´t come as a surprise. I have done that on my S 7 Edge and i don´t have yello tinted pictures because of that. I do however see the oversharpening when using auto and not the pro mode because it gives you full control over the camera like a DSLR camera which is a big thing for me as a hobby photographer. Low light pictures i would say this phone is doing an amazing job i took a shot at night with a few streetlights in the distance it turned out very pretty and even in the darker areas it would have plenty of detail. amazing camera that is just killing every phone on the market.
Waited and waited....and then "It's probably the best ANDROID phone you can buy"... And there it is... So close Dan to finally putting a review out without Apple bias.... Maybe next time!
+ThePeddle What's your problem here? Isn't it correct that it is Android? He still can have his own opinion, can't he? Even if he would like this phone more than iPhone (what he is probably doing .. who knows? or maybe he likes Windows phones more?), it would be still a valid statement.
If you are going to complain about the look of touchwiz, try using the THEME STORE for once. Download Nova launcher, apply marshmallow or stock looking theme and you will have a buttery smooth software experience that is very similar to stock android but with all the great features from Samsung.
I am more interested about phones after a few months of use, how does it hold up after that? Usually new phones are all fast, however with time a lot of them can get noticeably slower.
Totally agree with Sahil's comment. Pocketnow's After The Buzz are THE best videos on how a smartphone stands after six months of release. Really recommend you check it out.
In Korea, GS7 has issues about picture qualities. (I don't know whether it's for all GS7)It distorts straight lines into wavy, curved lines. This problem can be easly noticed when you take a pictures of MS EXCEL. So if you have GS7 or GS7edge, give it a try.
+Robert Yasss Yeah me too. Glad to find someone to agree with. I have no idea what are they complaining about. I find touchwiz easier to use and I like the look more than the original android on Nexus 6p.
Glad it's not just me. I have a Nexus device and a Samsung device and genuinely like the Samsung one more. I use the features of adds and don't mind the bright happy theme, though I wish they would tone down the notification menu and settings a bit... They looked better back in 4.4
Still have my Samsung S7. Battery lasts all day and runs and runs. Love my SD card, and with fast charging, great camera, and great display it still runs as good as the day I bought it!!
I didn't see anyone mention it, but those shots you guys took for this video are gorgeous. The lights, the movements, focus, just great work. Would love to know what camera you guys used!
if your a fan of the note I'd say wait until the note 6 gets announced in September. if you don't think it's for you and you really do want to upgrade then I'd say yes go for the S7.
+Khakimzhan To me that's truly a positive right now. I would only use the port for charging (and connecting to the current Gear VR)... I much prefer having the same connector I use for many other things and which everyone tends to have one of lying around.
Currently have a 2014 Moto X, and before that I had the Galaxy S3. I really didn't care about the S4, S5, or S6 but this S7 is really tempting me to come back to Samsung...
I always hear it being parroted, plastic = cheap. Strongly disagree! It allows for easy removal of back cover to replace batts and sims, not to mention it makes the phone lighter and more pleasing to hold. Phones these days are not only getting larger, but heavier too because of the glass/metal build.
His voice sounds like a child who is force by his teacher to answer a question although he didn't know the answer and then finally he began to tell his mind stories..
The s7 edge has really thick black border lines around the screen. Someone may hate the black line as much as I do, make sure you see the actual phone before buying it. All three colors (black, silver, gold) have this issue. Unlike other phones, the black version usually makes the line invisible. Due to the light and angle, this video did not reveal the issue of the black screen border.
Ian Nazareno this week am gonna buy the standard s7, I can buy the edge but i think its too big, what u think? Coz I see the standard one is comfortable in the hands
I'm an Apple fan and I do think that this is a superb phone. Great design (especially the S7 Edge), great camera, great display, and great performance. I'm quite tempted with this, because starting from S6 Samsung starting to have premium designs that is really close to iPhones, rather than the plasticky design of S5 models and below. I'll wait for iPhone 7S and Galaxy S9 in 2 more years, to see what it will be. Quite excited!
+poeperdhe You will most likely not get upgrades. A friend of mine has the S6 Edge about which Samsung said that they will push Android Marshmallow on by February. Still no upgrade from his Android Lollipop.
***** Some people have families. Some people like to take pictures with their families. Some people like to take pictures if they go to Disney Land with their spouse and kids. Some people go shopping for food. Some people like to take pictures of their stuff they need to buy. Just a thought.
Should I get black or silver? Would silver detract my attention from the screen? Is silver worth getting if you're going to spend most of your time on media?
I'm awaiting my S7. On the S7 Edge I dislike how the curved parts of the screen are counted as ordinary screen real estate. I DON'T want to see text on a webpage or images in a gallery wrapped around pushed to the very edges like that. The argument that this phone is smaller than other phones with same size screens, well it's really not a like for like comparison. Those other phones have fully usable flat screens, the Edge fudges things, yeah you get extra real estate, but it's in the margins and warps whatever content is on there to achieve it. NOT the same size really in my mind.
First one with premium materials? Oh you mean like using the cheapest aluminum to clad your $700 iPhone, yeah that's premium and just recently switching over to 6061 aluminum. As for design, yeah great design having it clad in glass on both sides, you know what was great about those "cheap" plastic phones, scratch the back, get a new one. Can't do that with glass or aluminum. Also better grip on plastic. Yet, say what you will about Samsung products that did in the past rely on plastic shells they still cost nearly $100 more to make per device than an Apple product since they actually use premium parts. They're still more expensive to make than Apple products and a lot of the parts are in house manufactured, where Apple's like a gaudier and crappier dell.
man nice video i am in love with s7 edge but i am using s6 i just cant upgrade now So lets exchange our phones what do you say and finally 1 doubt any heating issues during fast charging
I didn't see anything wrong with the galaxy s5. I don't mind Samsung Galaxy wanting to upgrade the build quality of the Galaxy line. I just don't think that making a phone all glass is the best way of doing it. It's a fingerprint magnet, and I'm afraid of dropping it.
I have a question. Why do iPhones get more isolated from the carriers than Android phones? You do not get bloatware from the service carrier if you get an iPhone. Android phones also get the carrier logos, which I do not understand the logic of.
Can you please explain it further? I have been wondering this since I have noticed that Samsung phones could get an AT&T stamp at the back while iPhones are always identical to all iPhones of its model.
This phone is really tempting. I've found about a promotion in a Samsung store where i live, that i can exchange my old phone plus an amount of money to get the S7 or S7 Edge + Gear VR. I might go for it but the extra cost of Edge really worth it?
I'm also working on a review at the moment. For a phone with 3600 mah I'm pretty disappointed in battery life. I do find the edge screen way more useful this year. And this phone feels really good to hold. Idk it's like holding a pebble.
He's right, great ideas make great phones. My next phone will be an idea. I can't afford a new phone
Hahahahaha
+Tom Howe Here's an idea, buy a real phone. Now you have two phones... ;)
a
+Tom Howe ok tech rax
+Tom Howe LMAO i screamed
wow, that much enthusiasm from an Apple kid, makes the S7 Edge look like the best phone ever built.
+Lava Java That's the same thing I was thinking!
+giorattin1 , yeap denial always works in these cases
+Valentin Burger Just because you don't like Apple doesn't mean you have to create lies about them. I have an iPhone 6s Plus and it's amazing at all three supposed downfalls that you just mentioned.

Maybe try to minimize your criticisms if you've never used one.

This is probably the best and most objective review I've ever seen from you guys! Good job, keep it up!
+User_8834 Yeah, first time I've ever given a thumbs up to a video from them. Great and objective review.
Bad camera : oversharpened yellow pictures
+Bill Buffet well, judging from the pictures that are shown, how can't you agree?
+Bill Buffet Your definition of a "bad" smartphone camera is very distorted.
that is what i was thinking while watching the video 😅
Im only one here that loves the Touchwiz?
I do!
+Pruthvi Sujeeth me too, bro
nope
+Pruthvi Sujeeth Touchwiz isn't the problem, it's the crap they tie to touchwiz to add unnecessary bloat to the device and that secretly take up ram. Such as multi-window, edge stripe, and what not. I just wished Samsung would keep the apps that are downloadable via the Play Store or the Galaxy App Store there so they'd get installed in the download section of the root system to be able to be deleted if not needed anymore.
+RCCRF
For u Multi Window and Edge Stripe some other features can be unnecessary bloats but not for us, We love Touchwiz for these functionality only
New design one year and refinement on the next.... Where else do I now that from?
Yes a company also sprang to my mind too!
+VariTimo lol year 3 they are gonna run put of ideas and get left in the dust like HTC did in 2015, the M7 was their new design, M8 was their refinement, and the M9 was a refinement of a refinement, now they are dying for to make a new deign and samsung is gonna be next soon and thats when HTC will make their come back
+VariTimo Samsung took it a step foreword and also refined the design, the didn't just change the internals.
Ofcoarse Apple!!!
Iphone
Basically the phone they should have released last year.
At least they listened to the problems voiced by the public.
nah
+ProudNerd248 unlike Apple
+Cameron Clark well Apple did fix the bend problem...
+Gaming Authority they did fix it with the S model, but yeah you're right.
I agree with everything but the camera review. He didn't really tested it in low light. It is significantly better than last year's s6 edge.
+ErwinIgnacio Agreed! And it has the fastest autofocus of any camera phone today...
+Sun Dreaming
True and to some extent It possibly is also one of the most vibrant cameras
I'm surprised the iVerge didn't have lots of negatives or really down play the phone much...
+XJS HD Agreed, This phone is actually a fix-brush of the older one, so it is better than best indeed.
Haha Ya truly surprised!
+JaySilver If Vlad was the reviewer the S7 would come out roasted .....cause iPhone :D
that's cause Nillay Patel hasn't reviewed the phone.
Finally a review from TheVerge that doesn't say iPhone 6S do it better
Yeah, but he implies it :D (as in "perhaps the best Android phone you can buy right now" :D)
+David Miller exactly, it doesn't matter what they do in the back of their minds they will always be kissing Apple's ass
***** ok that's a very rude way for me to put it but just the way he talks gets on your nerves , his entire tone is like "hey guys can you believe that Apple isn't the only one who makes good phones these days, I can't believe it can you ? "
+Mihir Sumant so wait saying "perhaps the best android phone you can buy right now" is kissing apples ass? Android, IOS and even Windows are completely different platforms so yes it is correct to say "PERHAPS the best android phone you can buy" as there are still plenty coming out this year that look promising LG G5 etc etc etc hell even Huawei surprised everyone with the Nexus 6p
+Mihir Sumant Stop watching their videos then?
I'm trading in my iPhone 6s and getting the S7 Edge in Onyx Black. 👊🏽
I have a few friends that did the same. They love their new phones
Martin Carrillo I too switched from an iPhone 6 to s7 edge. Loving it ;)
+Pearl the rebel
Black is less destructing , less reflective, looks Damn badass
i think you are bored because you already have 2 black iPhones .
Silver is beautiful thought
Pearl the rebel idk which to get I want silver but I hate the fact it has fingerprints so reason I might go with black is because d brand has a matte black back skin I might use if I get black but silver is way better looking. and I don't want to but a case on either cause of how good the phone looks
Long term iPhone user here and I just came from the store with an S7 Edge. Goodbye iOS and hello my old friend Android.
David Venice How do you like it?
Good
Idk why but it makes me happy that they listen to their customers and fix problems to make it more comfortable for us.
kinda what a company is supposed to do
I have to agree. I saw this phone at the store today its really beautiful no other words for it. The curved edges are glorious and the phone is butter smooth all around. Just a beautiful specimen.
Why do people hate Touch wiz? I mean it's not that bad.
+LamboPlays Okay guess I've never really tried other launchers yet but I'm fine with touch wiz cuz I just put and theme on it :)
i totally agree TouchWiz is the best Android UI I've ever seen, I mostly buy Samsung's devices because it
ios is so much better
A lot of the stuff they have are gimmicky.
Well it is and nobody will prove me wrong

The more competition, the better for us.
yea Apple needs some big innovation for i7
+Anand Rao Hopefully iPhone 7 will have OLED screen.
+Srdjan Smudja Yp and waterproof would be a nice feature too;)
+James Clark yup hopefully the iPhone 7 would step up their game with water resistant.. well, at least a bigger battery..
+James Clark yeah happy to see that there's actual competition and not just from samsung in the end we all end up benefiting from these companies pushing each other.

How is TouchWiz ugly? Isn't it very close to iOS UI? ^_^
*facepalm
Even though iOS is colorful it still looks a bit more uniformed
+Jayen PLAYZ
> Isn't it very close to iOS UI?
maybe THAT IS the reason it's ugly..
+Jayen PLAYZ TouchWiz has tooo many bright colors.
+Jayen PLAYZ The stock one is pretty ugly. But the theme store will fix that real quick.
S6 never got bogged down. You'll say this about the S7 next year now -_-
+Avi Seth Hahaaaa so true!
In low light you just need to adjust the white balance which shouldn´t come as a surprise. I have done that on my S 7 Edge and i don´t have yello tinted pictures because of that.

Agreed. My mom's note 4 is super laggy
Check out After the Buzz by Pocketnow
the S6/S6Edge isn't slower after few months. My S6Edge is as fast as it was 10 months ago.
It seems Android/Samsung has matured enough.
Totally agree with Sahil's comment. Pocketnow's After The Buzz are THE best videos on how a smartphone stands after six months of release. Really recommend you check it out.
In Korea, GS7 has issues about picture qualities. (I don't know whether it's for all GS7)It distorts straight lines into wavy, curved lines. This problem can be easly noticed when you take a pictures of MS EXCEL. So if you have GS7 or GS7edge, give it a try.
I feel like people now complain about Touchwiz because everyone else does. I honestly prefer Touchwiz over the original.
+Robert Yasss Yeah me too. Glad to find someone to agree with. I have no idea what are they complaining about. I find touchwiz easier to use and I like the look more than the original android on Nexus 6p.
Glad it's not just me. I have a Nexus device and a Samsung device and genuinely like the Samsung one more. I use the features of adds and don't mind the bright happy theme, though I wish they would tone down the notification menu and settings a bit... They looked better back in 4.4
+Robert Yasss I like touchwiz too, its very nice and user friendly i just don't get why people are complaining
IMO
6.0 TW minor looks ridiculous
5.1.1 was better
I personally think that touchwiz is extremely ugly. That's just my opinion. It's perfectly fine if you all think it looks nice
Still have my Samsung S7. Battery lasts all day and runs and runs. Love my SD card, and with fast charging, great camera, and great display it still runs as good as the day I bought it!!
Hit like if you think it is a tuff challenge with the iPhone 7..
+Tech!tEasy the iPhone 7 hasn't been released yet?
+User_8834 Not even shown. Will be shown - as every year - in early September
4E2010XD I am talking after release of iPhone 7.
User_8834 I am talking after release of iPhone 7.
yeah, but still weird to say, if you don't know what the 7 will bring
Awesome videography! Loving the crispy footage
i am due a upgrade, should i wait for the S8?
Nice video, I just subscribed. It was cool to see you outside while giving the review and the music was awesome. More please!!!
Is there a way to turn off the lights in the capacitive buttons?
yes
+Chloe Moretz Download *Galaxy Button Lights* from the Play Store. It lets you turn 'em off.
+Tony S. or switch it off right on the settings?
Settings.
+Chloe Moretz If you but it on battery saving mode it'll turn it off
Just bought this S7 Edge today so far it's nice... Just need a case before i take off the screen cover...
apple needs to step up their game
Don't worry bro, they will, THREE YEARS LATER, at least.
+Nitay Eshed and as always: Specs are not everything.. mimimimimi
+Nitay Eshed 256mp? 64gb ram? What a great imagination. Keep blowing
Great production quality!!Stunning lighting where phones were handled! loved the location
its feel weird cuz i watch this with S7 Edge
Rushing Killing same
Rushing Killing is it lagging yet?
I didn't see anyone mention it, but those shots you guys took for this video are gorgeous. The lights, the movements, focus, just great work. Would love to know what camera you guys used!
i guess I will upgrade my note 4 to s7.
note 6 ???
first time ever iverge did a honest review... :-D
excellent review. Big thumps up.
Should I upgrade from my note 4 to the s7 edge?
if your a fan of the note I'd say wait until the note 6 gets announced in September. if you don't think it's for you and you really do want to upgrade then I'd say yes go for the S7.
CentinalxGaming OK thanks.
If you got the money and don't worry about it too much than YAS! its the best smartphone as of now!
wait few more months for the Note 6.. u will not regret
This is the only verge reviewer worth watching
"Perhaps the best android phones"? no. Perhaps the best phone in the world*
Yep wish they sold an unlocked 64gb model if they did I wouldn't have gone with the 6P
sort of. the best phones i. the world are in china and japan. some weird chinese language phone on the benchmark beat this phone.
+deadnationmaster in*
Always like the verge's video. Keep it up!
Nothing about lack of USB-C
Yeah coz that's a REAL game changer
It's to ensure compatibility with the Gear VR, get over it
+Khakimzhan To me that's truly a positive right now. I would only use the port for charging (and connecting to the current Gear VR)... I much prefer having the same connector I use for many other things and which everyone tends to have one of lying around.
Currently have a 2014 Moto X, and before that I had the Galaxy S3. I really didn't care about the S4, S5, or S6 but this S7 is really tempting me to come back to Samsung...
Now if you could just add front facing speakers Samsung
Really? What app?
I always hear it being parroted, plastic = cheap. Strongly disagree! It allows for easy removal of back cover to replace batts and sims, not to mention it makes the phone lighter and more pleasing to hold. Phones these days are not only getting larger, but heavier too because of the glass/metal build.
Please, whats that game that he plays @ 1:51?
+Pawel Walentynski Its called "Alto's Adventure"
alto
Ski Safari
+Pawel Walentynski The game is called : Alto
+Max Schumacher Awesome, thx! :)
Wow! A good, overall perfect review video..great job guys
His voice sounds like a child who is force by his teacher to answer a question although he didn't know the answer and then finally he began to tell his mind stories..
+NAUSHERWAAN NAEEM UL HAQ KHOKAR LOL
The s7 edge has really thick black border lines around the screen. Someone may hate the black line as much as I do, make sure you see the actual phone before buying it. All three colors (black, silver, gold) have this issue. Unlike other phones, the black version usually makes the line invisible. Due to the light and angle, this video did not reveal the issue of the black screen border.
It is way ahead of Apple in design, screen, funcions ....
Seriously, where can I get a list of the music you guys use in these videos? I love the synth sound song on the second half of this video!
Yes! I'd like to know too.
Samsung is better than apple
is that a new thing ? 😉
Pearl the rebel how? theres no point comparing between garbage with gold.
The hardware may be an A+, but the software implementation is a C at best. Unless you change your phone every year, it's not worth it.
Really great phone? LOL
Thar iSheep has a problem saying it's a PERFECT PHONE.
Video full with nitpicking
+cruztube23 It's not perfect, but it's pretty damn close.
really great review. I have watched many but this one is awesome.
*_Review: it's not an iPhone_*
I am heavy user and my s7 (not edge) get me through two days easy super happy with it !
should I buy the S7 or the S7 Edge
if you have rachmaninoff hands, buy the s7 edge. if not, buy the regular one
+Xyko yeah I bought the S7 the regular one
Ian Nazareno this week am gonna buy the standard s7, I can buy the edge but i think its too big, what u think? Coz I see the standard one is comfortable in the hands
It's the best you can buy right now
Because its the phone is new
Best ANDROID phone...
+Zoro nah the 6P is
+Maksim Makso No the best phone. The S6 is overall better than iPhone 6S. So the S7 blows it out the water.
I'm an Apple fan and I do think that this is a superb phone. Great design (especially the S7 Edge), great camera, great display, and great performance. I'm quite tempted with this, because starting from S6 Samsung starting to have premium designs that is really close to iPhones, rather than the plasticky design of S5 models and below.
I'll wait for iPhone 7S and Galaxy S9 in 2 more years, to see what it will be. Quite excited!
I liked those "cheap plasticky materials"
So, all in all, Android>iOS? Currently with AT&T with an iPhone 6 Plus and wanting to switch to Verizon with the S7 Edge. Good idea?
don't know about Carriers cause i don't live in the us but yes go with s7 edge
But can it get updates tho?
if you buy a nexus yeah :D
if u buy a Samsung phone you will get 3 updates for sure but it may vary with ur region.
+poeperdhe You will most likely not get upgrades. A friend of mine has the S6 Edge about which Samsung said that they will push Android Marshmallow on by February. Still no upgrade from his Android Lollipop.
+4E2010XD depending on region and carrier, s6 got marshmallow already in Feb. so blame your carrier!
really great review guys
10for iphone 6s but s7 9 camera? iverge.
+blognewb they should give iphone6s under 7 camera and display. why iverge licking apples ass?
+blognewb haha ok.
This video is so premium and well done
3:32 jesus I just ate, but this instantly made me hungry again :3
Chill out chubby butt
+newballin I think I'm going to need some gravy on that roast!
a great video and awesome review from this whatever man
Hotline bling lol
lol ikr
Currently a loving owner of an iPhone 6s plus, but I am really considering this phone. its the first in a while to really catch my attention
A sexy phone with a good camera, that is all I need!!
+Steve W Because people take pictures?
***** Some people have families. Some people like to take pictures with their families. Some people like to take pictures if they go to Disney Land with their spouse and kids. Some people go shopping for food. Some people like to take pictures of their stuff they need to buy. Just a thought.
***** You can't cover how good a modern phone camera is in 10 seconds. Too complex.
***** I guess.
Should I get black or silver? Would silver detract my attention from the screen? Is silver worth getting if you're going to spend most of your time on media?
looks like iVerge is stooping to the lows and actually not criticizing android , your exaggeration is making it look like the best phone ever.
Very good review. Only negative thing about the phone is touchwiz imo.
Download a different launcher. Unless it's slow updates until the next Android. Otherwise Nexus 6P or iPhone is best for others.
I'm awaiting my S7. On the S7 Edge I dislike how the curved parts of the screen are counted as ordinary screen real estate. I DON'T want to see text on a webpage or images in a gallery wrapped around pushed to the very edges like that.
The argument that this phone is smaller than other phones with same size screens, well it's really not a like for like comparison. Those other phones have fully usable flat screens, the Edge fudges things, yeah you get extra real estate, but it's in the margins and warps whatever content is on there to achieve it. NOT the same size really in my mind.
+David Hunter i have the s6 edge + and the curved screen looks bigger than the flat screen (to me).
As an iPhone user for like 4 years, Samsung Galaxy S7 looks beautiful and I'm actually interested on getting it.
In theory, all the edge features can be used on the S7 as well, you don't need the edge screen for it. But, the Edge has no bezel😱😱😱
Excellent review
cheers
Amazing review!
First one with premium materials? Oh you mean like using the cheapest aluminum to clad your $700 iPhone, yeah that's premium and just recently switching over to 6061 aluminum. As for design, yeah great design having it clad in glass on both sides, you know what was great about those "cheap" plastic phones, scratch the back, get a new one. Can't do that with glass or aluminum. Also better grip on plastic. Yet, say what you will about Samsung products that did in the past rely on plastic shells they still cost nearly $100 more to make per device than an Apple product since they actually use premium parts. They're still more expensive to make than Apple products and a lot of the parts are in house manufactured, where Apple's like a gaudier and crappier dell.
man nice video i am in love with s7 edge but i am using s6 i just cant upgrade now So lets exchange our phones what do you say and finally 1 doubt any heating issues during fast charging
I didn't see anything wrong with the galaxy s5. I don't mind Samsung Galaxy wanting to upgrade the build quality of the Galaxy line. I just don't think that making a phone all glass is the best way of doing it. It's a fingerprint magnet, and I'm afraid of dropping it.
Funny that they point out that the phones does not have "knock to unlock", when you just can press the home button...
Man! how hard is for this guy to say that is the best phone right know, he just said that is the best android phone..
Man! How hard is english for you!
Good review. Finally.
I have a question. Why do iPhones get more isolated from the carriers than Android phones? You do not get bloatware from the service carrier if you get an iPhone. Android phones also get the carrier logos, which I do not understand the logic of.
Can you please explain it further? I have been wondering this since I have noticed that Samsung phones could get an AT&T stamp at the back while iPhones are always identical to all iPhones of its model.
This phone is really tempting. I've found about a promotion in a Samsung store where i live, that i can exchange my old phone plus an amount of money to get the S7 or S7 Edge + Gear VR. I might go for it but the extra cost of Edge really worth it?
Yes
I got the Edge cheers! Great phone indeed.
Lucas Féres yes it is a fantastic phone, i made the change to samsung a few weeks back and i would recommend it to anyone
This was actually a good review 👍
great review !
A positive review of an android phone by the iverge?!
im just bought s7 and it's amazing ,this is my frist samsung phone and im wrily love it ☺🙂🙄😍😍😍
I'm also working on a review at the moment. For a phone with 3600 mah I'm pretty disappointed in battery life. I do find the edge screen way more useful this year. And this phone feels really good to hold. Idk it's like holding a pebble.
