Samsung 7/ Samsung 7 Edge

ShottaDaBeast

So Samsung is currently leading the phone market with sales and innovation. Samsung is currently set to release two new phones; Galaxy 7 and Galaxy 7 Edge. Both phones are set to be released on 11 March, but some T-Mobile consumers have started receiving their devices. Also the consumers who had pre-ordered their device will be eligible for Samsung Gear VR for free($100 value) and a year of Netflix for free.

Are you planning on buying either of the device? Which one?

It seems that Samsung has been taking notes from previous complaints. On the upcoming models Samsung has reduced the bloatware, added a SD Card slot, added a bigger battery, and some other minor tweaks that the predecessor lacks. The phone still will run the touchwiz UI over the android operating system as before.

While several other companies are focusing on mid-range($300-$500) phones. While Samsung takes last year's design and increased the price of their flag ship. In my opinion the prices will drop drastically over the year due to the mid-range phone market improving with better devices for a cheaper price.

Who is breaking up with their phone?

I only got my S6 edge a couple of months ago, it's kind of annoying how quickly they decided to get this out to market.

Quality phone though, lack of sd card slot didn't bother me since i prefer using OTG (usb stick that is compatible with the phone so i don't even need to sync to anything in order to transfer files) and it runs everything smoothly app wise.

the edge screen cost like 200 more than the standard set which is ridiculous since aside from the screen and a slightly better battery life theres not much difference at all between them.

@lazypakman it's a slap in the face how they release phone with minor changes and raise the price up.

that's just the nature of the industry now though, you can thank apple for that business model.

i'd like to think i can this current phone for at least a good 3-4 years before i have to switch up again.

I fell victim to the hype cause this damn Galaxy S5 is ? slow ass ? now and now my bill bout to sky rocket to $120 a month after taxes :#

ZydecoShawty

Might not like my bill going up :# but the S7 Edge Silver is a trill ass phone

So I got my SS7E and it's alright. It still come with bloat ware. So if you are a nexus person like me then hold off. HTC cooking up some heat for the upcoming nexus.

The UI is dope with the short cuts on the edge of the phone.

Once you request the free VR, Samsung will hook you up with a free 32gb SD card.

I will drop some more info after I use the phone for a few days.

Man, I came from a Galaxy S5 and compared to that ? , this phone is trill ? , but I ain't smartphone savy in the 1st place so...

S.jR.

Considering copping this, I'm way overdue for a new phone. Gonna see how this stacks up to other phones coming out first because I'm not trying to upgrade again for at least a few more years.
