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

[Mobius 1]

Loads of dodgy cables about. Especially the cheaper cables.

Wait so no water resistance?

If true then this is one handset stricken off my shopping list. Roll on Xperia Z6.

 

[Mr_Cool]

It does...

Thats not even the S7 in the video anyway.

But I guess it'll be confirmed Sunday.

i agree, if true then it's looking like a crap upgrade from a s5

Two more days...

 

[IvanDobskey]

It looks more like a 6s than a 7 to be honest.

Samsung doing an apple and rereleasing the same phone.

I'll be hanging on to my 6 for at least another year.

Interesting selection of cases on Spigen's official site.

Some of the cases for 7 Edge showing availability start of March.

Am I the only one that hates the look of the camera?

 

[Fallen god]

Also no Type-C probably is a good thing for this year going by the current Type-C cable-gate issues surrounding the whole thing on the market. Need another year for that dust to settle and manufacturers to buckle up their standards compliance.

I think its a bad move, typically you would want too keep a phone for 2 years (off course not on these forums .) and I'm guessing within this year Type-C will blow up. At least for me its a huge turn off as I'm trying too move towards a Type-C future.

 

[james.miller]

within this year Type-C will blow up.

heh

The reveal is in 2 days, why won't people stop just guessing?

 

[kona786]

Roll on sunday

Glad they dialled down the chromeness - earpiece is black on the dark model.

Now make the Samsung logo disappear

 

[Mobius 1]

Not gonna lie, the edge is looking pretty damn good. With its curved edges over the whole front of the screen. Might be my next phone.

Three advertising arriving:

 

[Warp279]

Yep looking like my next device. It has all the stuff the S6 lacked:

Hold one first, or at least the S6 Edge, as they're not the most comfortable of phones in the hand. They do look awesome though - I'd have had an S6 Edge+ by now if it wasn't for the poor ergonomics (and rather inflated price for what it was).
