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

I got the update too, was on PAW
Now updated to March Security update patch I see, I'm guessing there are a few other tweaks too somewhere.

2 days is "pretty poor"? Personally I don't think so. it also included some photo taking and VR use

As for the 6P, the battery is 3450 mAh vs the S7's 3000mAh, so ~17% bigger.

Yeah but the 6P's battery is hardly renowned for efficiency. :p

It does depend on usage and VR (assuming 3D gaming rather than 360 video) would obviously churn through the battery much quicker than a bit of social media and browsing.

Just considering how little battery these phones lose on standby (my 6P averages 1% battery loss overnight) I'd say 150 minutes of screen on time is a bit meh considering the battery rep the S7E has, but like I say if any of that was gaming then it's a different matter.

I'm not sure it would. I have a 6P and my S7 is consistently beating it in daily use.

No problem. While the 6P is hardly for renowned for battery sipping, I've gone nearly 3 days without charge (though wifi was connected most of that time and that obviously uses much less power than 3G/4G). Obviously you load up a game and the battery just disappears on any of these phones though.

I've not charged mine since 5PM Friday and I've got 29% left. Granted I haven't used it much, still impressive! About 3 hours screen on time.
 
I'm also very impressed with my battery. (Standard s7) easily gets me through the day with percentage left. Although. With quick charge a low battery is only low for an hour. :)
 
Hmm since the update I've had 3x crashes with the camera, twice the phone had to be rebooted (once via volume down + power, 2nd time auto reboot after hanging).

Hopefully this is just a teething problem!

Do you know if that was BTU or XEU mrk?

Not sure but I'd assume BTU since I'm on a sim free UK handset. The build code contains "XXU" though on mine?

Mines has XXU on it too...currently on XEU however not BTU. Although you do have the Edge...I have the standard S7.

Anyone with the 'flat' S7 have the update?

The update knocked a few settings back to default for me, like not auto downloading updates from the play store.

Low light just is pretty damn good on this no? The above pic was taken with only a candle burning 6 feet away. At 1/4s (iso1250) the auto mode has captured slightly more detail than what was visible with my eye. I used touch focus to focus on the text. The Nexus 6P is great, but it would not have been able to lock focus quickly (if at all) in this kind of situation.

Sure there's some grain, but given the conditions that is otherwise a usable image!

I tried to take the same pic on the G4.... Absolute failure, couldn't focus, may as well be all black :p
