The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is a fantastic phone. Right out of the box you think "Wow, this is an incredibly light and good looking phone!". Smile, wise consumer, this is YOUR incredibly light and good looking phone. This feeling continues as you turn on the phone and the vibrant screen greets its new owner. Setup was a breeze, and the super convenient Samsung Smart Switch app made it really easy to move everything from my old phone. (You need to download Samsung Smart Switch on your old, not incredibly light or good looking phone from whatever app store you may use. This was not available for my phone, the One Plus Two. I was able to side load the app by downloading the APK and installing it manually).
Touch Wiz continues to be refined into a smoother and better experience, though I wish I could remove some apps. For example, I *love* Google's calendar app, especially the widget. You can't remove or even disable the Samsung calendar app, I just get the pleasure of having two calendar apps. There are worse problems to have. The edge tools are neat, but I don't think I'll be using them often. The fingerprint reader is zippy and accurate.
I play a lot of games on my phone. And we're not talking crushing candy here. Games that chew through batteries and make the screen red hot with processing power. That's a thing, right? Anyway, this phone holds up. Super powerful, the battery holds up, and the phone doesn't feel like I'm resting my hands on a hot stove. But the phone does this thing. And I don't like this thing. The phone is under the impression that I want to play my games with a super vibrant, super saturated color scheme. I don't. At all. It's making my games look awful. Samsung, I beg of you, add the option to keep the "current" color profile while playing games. "Basic" mode is perfect, please let me play my games "Basic" mode.
Buy this phone. You won't be disappointed. You know what is disappointing? Your current phone. Your current, miserably heavy, incredibly ugly phone.
