Samsung 7/ Samsung 7 Edge

[aneed123]

Just got the standard S7 Friday. Coming from the HTC M8 its the shit. Gonna get a 32gb card soon. I bought two Samsung phone phones so I get a 50" tv, fuck them VR glasses

I got the m8 what's makes it better? I'm thinking bout upgrading?

The only reason I really upgraded was because my M8 charger port broke. So it was either pay $150 for insurance to repair it or get a new phone for less.

Not much, its all andriod phones so they feel pretty much the same. Obviously faster and doesn't lag like my M8 started to do

yeah mine lags a lot now. Its like the man pushed the button on my phone making it slow so I have to get another lol

I picked up the phone other day and from a hardware standpoint it's the best phone I ever owned.

The good...

TouchWiz is much lighter now almost to the point its unrecognizable. It's snappy and moves fast. It is very smooth now and a far cry from when I got my GS3 back in 2012 which was lagging and freezing up right out of the box. I like the theme store Samsung has added too.

The battery life is the best I've ever had on a Android phone. Not iPhone 6 Plus good, but close. I've heard the Motorola phones have good battery life too, although I have not owned a Motorola since my old Moto Razor years ago.

I like the edge display although it's more of a niche feature than something that's really needed and most developers have not figured out how to take advantage of it.

The camara is nearly DSLR quality you won't find a smartphone with a better camara. Lots of things you can do to tweak it to your specifications too.

The bad....

I have still have a few gripes. Samsung's antennas are still garbage just like with my Note 4 and GS4 and GS3 I used before it. My S7 Edge constantly drops calls were my iPhone 6 Plus had service.

Samsungs fast charging is a gimmick that does not deliver it takes my my phone like 2 hours to charge on the stock charger longer than that using the charging pad. Takes the phone like an hour just to charge 40%. Smh

Samsung needs to offer a North American variant of the phone in the 64 or 128 GB variety. Yes, I know I can buy an SD card which I don't mind, but I like my stuff running what I need right out of the box without me having to go buy third-party accessories other than a phone case.

My fast charge works fine. Remember fast charge is to get your phone from 0 to 50 quickly.

I always had an iphone since the sidekick days and i just upgraded my iphone 6 to the s7 edge. Man this is incredible! I feel like my grandma does when she has interaction with computers smh.

Ive never had a problem wit the fast charger. If my phone is on 10% it takes about a hour and some change to get it back to 100%

I was thinking about get a wireless charging pad, is it worth it?

Has anyone else had a problem with static when connected to an aux cable

nope i haven't at all. static usually comes when the cord is not in all the way, not to insult your intelligence. try a different cord

Tried a different cord. Apparently its pretty common. You have to adjust the EQ to fix it

I heard the note sevens are getting recalled, exploding batteries

I heard the note sevens are getting recalled, exploding batteries

35 out of 2.5 million. They are allowing folks to trade in for a new one or get a S7/S7 Edge and refunded the price difference.

lol damn I was bout to cop it too

 

[zzombie]

Just got the s6 and my only complaint so far is that this phone is far too slippery, so if you want this phone you might want to Invest in a good case
