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

so decided imgoing to go for the s7 edge instead of the note7.

anyone know of a good touch case and screen protector?

dont mind it being bulky but my phones take a beating, my note3 zerolemon battery case has kept the phone pristine for 3+years now without a single scratch or crack so i'd like soemthing simmilar but the edge they dont offer a decent one :(
 
Latest Good Lock updates has just destroyed the performance of my phone. :D :D Why do Samsung do this ****?!

Just uninstalled it, horrid purple/pink theme it had and changed all the icons and looked like the screen resolution had dropped through the floor. Ugh.. took a bit of swearing and general shouting at Samsung/phone/world for installing it as an "update" when I'd never used it before and it just chucked it on top.

Anyway its gone now and my phone is back to how "I" like it :)
 
A mate dropped my 7 edge. Has very tiny crack on the front glass at the bottom, barely goes over the screen (couple of mm). I think I can live with it. Have heard replacing front glass destroys the screen. Anyone had a replacement?
 
Buy from uk mate, better for any warranty issues

Best price for brand new sim free is from MPD I believe : http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/contract-mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge

Still £550+ new.....ouch. **** that.

Sold mine BNIB for £500 back when it was released. Yes not the same thing but still.

I'd personally buy second hand. Prices around £400

Have you seen the op3? Could be an alternative

Cheers chaps. Yeah, I'm not sure I've spent that on a phone out of contract - Had a Note 2 before my Nokia and couldn't believe the price of the Note 7! Would look into second hand but none on the MM at the moment. Could look into ebay I guess but like buying from fellow ocuk'ers.

Hadn't seen the OP3 but the price is pretty tempting! I do keep my phones for 2.5ish year periods though so the difference isn't a deal breaker if the Edge is the superior phone. Fortunately I think there are coworkers in the office with both so I can get a hands on :)

Purple theme? Are you one of these people that simply judges a book by its cover or something? :p

This is Good Lock when you do it right. There is no resolution difference whatsoever.

The Gear VR promo ends on the 5th so I'm currently feeling quite pressured to make a decision :D It does look like I could save a bit of money over the 2 years by going back onto a contract but I've had my sim only deal for so long now I'm not sure I like the idea of signing up again.

Just been playing with my colleagues OP3 and it seems really nice. He does have a case on it unfortunately so I can't really feel much of the phone itself but the OS seems good and the camera is pretty snappy.

you can pickup Gear VR for around £40 on ebay , dont let the VR be the deciding factor.

if you got cash to burn and want an alropund awesome phone, the s7 edge is the one

if you want best bang for buck then the Op3 is the one

Why can't I get my lock screen notifications dark like yours? No matter what I change, they're white.

Any pointers?
 
You need to enable dark notification bars as well as transparent notification bars in advanced settings.
 
Hi
Just wondering if anyone knows where to obtain a new official samsung fast charger for s7.

Too risky to buy on ebay or amazon as lots of fakes on thre. Many thanks
 
Haha it may look that way but I have a large family and get to play with their phones.

Personally I just have a Nexus 6 and OP3.
 
A majority of users seem to be getting poor battery results since the last update, but it's been quite the opposite for me, back to 6-6.5 hours SoT since the last update.

The only thing I've stopped using is Chrome.

That's the one, thanks.

Next question: Do you have a way around things like email subjects being almost impossible to read?
