**** The Official Samsung Galaxy S7/Edge Thread ****

[Nexus18]

The only thing that really appeals to me with the edge would be the slightly bigger screen.

EDIT:

BTW I presume the VR's are only free for pre-orders? And does that apply to both versions or just the edge?

Its for both, and is fro pre-orders before midnight March 10th.

(that's direct from Samsung anyway, not sure what the cut off is for other retailers)

 

[mark43]

Damn, why must the edge look so fantastic! I'm struggling to convince myself to spend over £500 on a new phone, so its even harder to convince myself to spend over £600, but if I'm spending that much maybe I may as well spend the extra.....

Not that the normal one isn't very nice looking itself, but the edge is just that bit special.

Also, was hoping for 5% TopCashBack at Samsung but seems they are only offering 1% on S7 purchases.

Three told me that you don't get the free gear VR ordering from them. Has anyone else found different?

Urgh, annoying. They also had a 5% off voucher code if you spend over £500 when I looked yesterday, it was expiring at midnight so I tried ordering with the code but it wouldn't accept it.

quidco are doing £50 via CPW not sure if that's contracts or sim free

 

[mrk]

Contracts. Sim free purchases don't get cashback on TCB or Quidco through CPW which is a bit regtarded, hence why I went with Samsung too because you get £32 cashback on the Edge.

 

[.:SAmSuNG:.]

What about upgrades through cfw?

 

[loltim]

Ok just got off the phone with EE for my upgrade...


S7 Edge Black

Unlimited text + mins
20GB 4G EXTRA

Happy days.

Gumtree otherwise!

You won't regret it. Samsung > AOSP.

1% cashback now though.

MobilePhonesDirect are selling it £20 cheaper than Samsung plus £45 topcashback. Seems like a good deal, though I really fancy the VR headset.

[something daft already!!]

When can you order the accessories for them? I'd like the see through case and the wireless charger.

What an odd fellow!

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

I'm so close to pulling the trigger on this...

 

[loltim]

What an odd fellow!

Feel free to continue beta testing featureless Nexus devices

I was able to preorder the clear case when I placed my order, not the charger though.

This is from SA!sung

Amazon although the official wireless charger is bananas money so I'd suggest going elsewhere for that. Deffo going non-edge here, I get zero use out of the edge aspect of it but for those that do, it's a nice touch.
