SamsungGalaxy S7 Edge 32 GB SIM-Free Smartphone - Black

As many others before me, upgrading from SGS5. I wouldn't actually if I hadn't drop my phone one month ago and shatter the screen...So, after almost a week of usage I have a bit mixed feelings... I loved my SGS5 and I was expecting a bit more, to be honest.... the screen doesn't seem bigger at all... and I prefer functionality (UX) over design... and the rubbery non slipping back on SGS5 was way more comfy in my hands than SGS7 Edge is. It is visually gorgeous, but as I said...what annoyed me was obviously setting the phone again from the scratch to fit my needs (back all the apps and all the settings [killing annoying notifications and uninstalling / disabling some apps I don't need, etc) ... I hoped the transition from my old phone would go smoother (lost some contacts that apparently were not linked to my google account, lost some chats in whatsapp, etc)...tried to set go launcher EX but was clearly not ready for android6 and edge... needs more polishing... so staying on touchwiz... which actually works pretty well... the only thing I don't like is the weak widget resizing mode... and the dock toolbar, offering only up to 5 icons...Sometimes it also happens I trigger something by holding the phone in my palm.. and my palm touching the edges of the screen that are now obviously responsive... and there is no bezel there... it happens more times that I care to admit...also the screen seems to be more polished and smooth... meaning the sliding feels very different... IMO too smoothNOW, to the good parts... All mentioned above are really minor things... and me being a creature of habit, used my SGS5 for 2 years almost always the same settings... saying that... this phone is gorgeously brilliant!- (front) CAMERA, absolutely brilliant... what a difference from SGS5.... food shots, pub shots, low light... everything much, much better- (back) CAMERA ... selfie mode is improved as well... much better in low light.. + I love the fact I can press the heart rate sensor on the back to take the photo- SCREEN is much brighter and really good outside on a bright day- SPEED is GOOD, it was OK before for me on SGS5 once optimised, so I don't really, really care about those milliseconds- BATTERY is OK.... is not great, was expecting better, but it's OK- THE SIM/microSD card slot... GOOD, now I don't need to remove the battery to insert them... but I need the pin to get the slot out... impractical a bit, but come on, how often do you really do that?- WATERPROOF... although SGS5 was waterproofed as well, the USB slot cover was SOOOO ANNOYING that I tore it away after couple of weeks.., SGS7 doesn't have it... which is great!Overall, great phone, highly recommended!

Bought from Wowcamera. Very impressed with handset, having moved from Apple iPhone 6. This phone is ultimately function over form (for the practical, functional and technical user), rather than iPhones' form over function (for the fashion, brand, simple user). I went full Samsung, with the official Samsung LED case, an S2 classic watch, their Level U pro wireless headphones, and enough wireless chargers to boot. This suite boasts the ultimate functionality, convenience and customisability I have ever experienced with personal technology. I simply love it!- First impressions upon handling it is its weight. It's on the heavier side, but thats a good thing - it feels real and sturdy.- The screen is amazing!! It really shouts at you when you see it. I have never experienced a screen such as this and quite frankly, won't go back to IPS display. The blacks are a true black, because each pixel is individually lit by its own light source, which is another great power saver. When lit, the colors are vibrant and bright giving you an amazingly sharp picture quality. It's truly beautiful :)- The battery is noticeably better (larger) than the iPhone 6 and combined with good power saving features within the software, get you well over a days life on moderate usage. Hardcore users will expect to charge their device daily, like any other. I use it for business and productive use, but not games so I manage to maximise the lifespan.- The camera. Arguably the phones' best show stopper. This camera has everything! It is fast to activate, the viewing/capture angle is wider than the iPhone allowing you to fit more into the picture without having to step back to adjust. I'm no photography expert but I like this. It also has a lot of features within it's software too giving you great control on how you take your photos and videos.- On top of all that, it has wireless charging, fast charging, NFC for a variety of uses including Android Pay, printing, audio, sending files, and probably more. It is also waterproof to protect it to a point where spilling water on it or accidentally dropping won't affect it for a long while. It also has an internal cooling system (apparently the same system NASA use on their STS vehicles) to prevent it from getting too hot under heavy use. The software is incredible now, allowing for extended customisability.NOTICE: THIS PHONE IS A SINGLE-SIM VARIANT!!!I was looking forward to making use of the dual-sim capability, but the handset shipped to me by Wowcamera didn't seem to include this. So be careful. Not all S7 Edges, are the same. There are even variants that have a completely different processor. I'll have to wait until I get a new one further down the road... bad show Wowcamera :(I can however confirm, that despite being shipped from the Netherlands, the phone is unlocked and works perfectly in the UK.Overall, I gave the phone a solid 5-star rating because it more than met my expectations for a hand-held device. It's just remarkable and I look forward to seeing the next version of this line :)Best of luck buyers!!

This phone did not work!I put my sim card in from EE and it did not pick up anything even though it worked on my old s7.I took it down to a local phone repair shop who confirmed it wasn't locked and that the receiver that picks up signal was faulty!Very disappointed

There are some pretty extensive reviews on this phone so I see little point redoing the main points of the phone.It's been a good upgrade for me coming from a Google Nexus 5X model running Android N 7.1.1.I was not able to use the Samsung OTG files data transfer system as the Nexus phone would not allow the Samsung app to be downloaded and installed. However, i used the opportunity to 'clean up' my phone and only download and install apps I wanted. As I logged into the Goggle app store it had all my apps available so the process was easy.I installed a 128Gb micro SD card and this worked well, even loading some data intensive apps into the SD card to save on the internal memory the apps work very well. Music apps have the option to locate data internally or externally so all of those are on the SD card which can be encoded for security.I had some issues linking Android Auto, now resolved, with the car but all the other connections seemed to be easy and solid.So far so good and I'm happy with the purchase especially the screen on it's highest resolution it is so clear. I use 1:25K walking navigation maps and it's a joy to use even with the zoom at maximum.
