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

[kona786]

Dat sweet sweet Coral Blue S7 Edge is being released on the 5th November in Singapore - I believe the US gets it too, but no mention of other places. Fingers crossed it makes it's way to the UK!

My bet is the S8 will come in coral blue too.

Pixel XL vs S7 edge. Guess the winner

Probably the closest one I've seen yet, till he got to the games loading.

 

[Quinnaay]

surprised me the game loading part, absolutely smoked the pixel

Any wireless charger recommendations? something small and portable with quick charge preferably. Would the QiStone+ be the way to go?

Bought a Spigen case and a Yootech wet applied screen protector, fantastic job when both applied

 

[Sandycheeks]

Just got an S7 and decided to set it up last night.
Fitted my Ultimate Shield screen protector and then my Spigen Tough Armour case.
This case is not compatible with this screen protector...the case edges force under the screen protector and pops it off in a few seconds.

Going to send the case back and try another...anyone recommend one that fits with a screen protector?

That's the one I got on this mister's recommendation. Works well, even if it's not really a looker. The only negative I'd level at it is that it's a bit small. That makes it look better on the desk, but makes it a little more difficult than it needs to be in order to know where to place the phone so it'll start charging.

But it's cheap and works. I'm happy with it.

What's the best solution for blocking ads in Chrome with Android? I don't want to root my phone ideally.

I thought Chrome had extensions but not the case.

Google would never allow it as it would remove most of their revenue.

Firefox supports uBlock.

There's also an adblock plus extension for the Samsung browser you can download from the playstore.

So what about adblocks on the desktop versions of Chrome?

I'm running Firefox with uBlock though, but have a look at Lightning browser.

I've been using Block This, which works system wide

adblock plus for google desktop

Thanks all. I've ended up just using the Samsung Browser with the AdBlock Plus extension. Added bonus is I discovered you can even get the Samsung Browser to sync all your Chrome bookmarks using a Chrome Desktop extension called Samsung Sync!

It's actually a really good browser too. Very fast. That and the fact it now blocks ads is spot on. I use Firefox too now so I can listen to YouTube videos while it runs in background (only Browser I've found that can do this trick).
