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

[kitch9]

Have they said if the screen will be made out of something stronger than swiss cheese? I could scratch the S6 screen just by looking at it.

 

[kona786]

going by this the battery isn't removeable.

Not surprising

 

[gareth170]

well I'm just hoping the s7 edge is water-resistance if not then i'll just get a s6 edge plus, because i would not see any point getting a s7 edge other than a larger battery, sd slot, slightly faster processor, smaller screen, lower MP camera

 

[Rexxar]

Hoping this will be offered with decent contracts and not the usual "hold you to ransom because it's new" , have been holding off upgrading the S4 for this

 

[Cosimo]

Looking good...

 

[MissChief]

I'm liking the silver. Have had black and white before so a change will be nice. Gold just seems very gaudy and bling to me.

That's a pretty decent looking bit of kit. Improvement on the S6 and no stupid camera bulge by the look of things.

Silver is really smart. Please don't put a stupid price tag on it!

 

[Captain]

Looks good, I'm being swayed away from the iPhone!

I really don't like curved glass phones because screen protectors don't cover the entire screen

That why there also the standard S7 being released for people like you who don't want a curved screen.

Still has curved glass if it's like the S6.

you can get screen protectors that cover the entire screen for the s6 edge / +

I am talking about the S6, not the Edge.

The glass curves slightly at the edges which means screen protectors cannot cover the entire front of the display area because otherwise they would bubble.

i'm pretty sure this covers the entire front of the screen.

But £30! That's I assume because of the extra R&D, materials, etc. to make it. On any other phone without curved glass I could get a decent TG screen protector for £5.

i said

so i pointed out there are screen protectors that do cover the entire screen

you didn't say anything about a price range,

 

[Matson]

Design wise it looks decent. Not a huge change but still nice looking.

 

[Mobius 1]

Just read that the edge is 5.5. Hmm wish it was 5.1 like the standard s7

 

[mrk]

5.5" would not fit in my jacket's outside chest pocket. 5.2" is really the max unless the casing dimensions are Z3 sized.

 

[Mobius 1]

That's a bit of a bummer. Almost decision changing for me. As petty as it sounds. I love my smart ultra 6. But 5.5 is just a tad too large for my hands. Maybe the frame will be smaller and more manageable.
