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

My button feels OK, nothing out of the ordinary. Probably the cheapest feeling part of the whole phone though.

Battery life seems excellent so far on the edge, 5 hrs SOT should be easy and possibly even 6 to 7 at a stretch.

Speakers and audio quality? Convince me to sell my Nexus 6p!

I Use Googles messenger app. With the stock app there are settings for delivery and read reports.

Where are the stock app settings for delivery and read receipts please? That would be awesome. Is that with samsungs messaging app or with Googles messenger?

Thanks.

The speaker is absolutely terrible.

Is there actually a protective film/layer on the camera and flash part this time? Doesn't appear to be on my phone from what I can tell.

That's a shame, was hoping that might have improved over the S6! Home buttons are such an anachronism these days the least they could do is make it feel quality. Hopefully in a generation or two they will be gone for good.

Protective plastic over the camera?

Wow! That is pretty damn poor to be honest. I thought the camera would be really good.

 

[Ace Modder]

Protective plastic over the camera?

Nope!

 

[Captain]

Home from work so can finally set it up.

Spoiler

 

[kona786]

All the reviews about the camera must be wrong then

 

[Ace Modder]

Are you using HDR auto or always on?

 

[Captain]

[Ace Modder]

Are you using HDR auto or always on?

I left it on auto for both cameras to make it fair.

 

[grudas]

just tried speedtest and uninstaller app that I know have adds and they didn't show!

Have you got an app for me to test?

It'll be the fact that you're tethering over your nexus b6 add blockers edit the host file so all adds end up going to nothing.

Soooo after the first day of usage how much screen on time have people got?
