Resulting with an on-screen time of 7 hours and 18 minutes, It's almost a full hour down from it's predecessor's tally.

Those results look rather odd.

Edit: Loads of the replys below that phonearena review where saying about the battery test being wrong or fake..

Samsung US is still offering the Gear VR free and a 6 game bundle with there S7 & S7 edge

http://www.samsung.com/us/explore/galaxy-s7-features-and-specs/

Get a free Gear VR with purchase

Order a Galaxy S7 edge or Galaxy S7 and receive a Gear VR powered by Oculus, plus a 6-game bundle—an estimated $150* value. Limited time only, while supplies last.

I just ordered, £515.98 total for the S7E Gold. Need to wait a week to get the phone but hopefully should all be good.

I would have bought the Silver from the USA if only Samsung had worldwide warranty

We always get shafted with mobile phone prices/promtions unless its from a UK manufacturer.

But they could also be region locked..

Samsung phones running Android 4.3 or later, including the Note 3 and Note 4, Galaxy S5 and S5 mini,
feature a region lock that the phone maker applies with the intent of halting grey market imports. This is separate from carrier- or SIM locking

But they could also be region locked..

Damn, didn't even know about that. All this would have been fine if only they released the Silver in the UK. Oh well.

A mobile phone being region locked Is stupid..

As it means you cannot use your £500+ mobile phone if you go on holiday abroad and buy a local pay as go sim card to use while there...

 

[A2Z]

It stupid..

Just properly read the link and not quite - by making a 5 min call in your original country, that removes the lock. Or Samsung can remove it at their support centre.

It's only eg. you buy it here, don't use it AT ALL, then go to the USA and insert a local sim, then it won't work.

i thought they are only locked until you make a 5 min call in the region its bought from.

 

[magicroundabout]

would using this void warranty etc?

[MissChief]

Still no sign of the silver from anyone in the UK?

Nope.

i find my s7 edge gold looks more like silver in most light.

 

[kona786]

It is called 'platinum' gold.
