Its an official sandisk product as far as my eyes can see, from a uk supplier in the correct packaging..
62.79mb/s read and 18.35mb/s write according to a1 bench
so my phone just died (s5), just perusing the internets and saw the samsung "upgrade" program.
So its £27 a month, for 2 years, after 12 months you send the phone back, and upgrade, signing into another 24 month. Is this at the same price?
Do any of you feel samsung will stick with this after the first year? (My tv has samsung's evolution upgrade and they stopped after 2 iterations)
Paypal are doing 4 month interest free credit malarky, but through the samsung website its ~30 a month via the paypal option? Anyone care to explain this out?
edit, paypal option doesnt include the upgrade program?

Just installed the update and can't decide if I like condensed or not, when I first got the phone everything felt too large but I've got used to it now, if it was there day one I think I would have selected it for sure. Nice to have the option anyway.

Which version? Is it G935FXXU1APD1?
Got my S7 Edge, in comparison to the S7 I'm very surprised at the fact that it doesn't feel that much bigger to hold in the hand.
Off the bat the bigger screen makes media consumption much more immersive and the battery on this thing is a monster, heading towards 7-8 hours SoT off the first charge.
Have ordered a Spigen Rugged armour case which should be here tomorrow.
Has anyone been successful in finding a full coverage tempered glass protector for the Edge yet? (I've seen a couple which seem to have a cut-out for the top and bottom too but not my cup of tea imo)
Edit: Looks like ZAGG may have a solution soon!

I am mate. Got my eye on that leather case too. Where's best to pick one up?
I use the official S7 edge LED leather case on my S7 edge.
shame mine also gets covered in hydraulic oil & engine oil finger prints daily..
Amazon were unwittingly selling snides at one point, no one could tell then either.

Can anyone who's moved to an S7 Edge from an iPhone 6S+ give any feedback on anything they miss, etc?

I noticed that these Samsung wireless chargers have dropped in price to £36 already(On Amazon Uk )
That's dropped way faster than I anticipated.
I think last update brought the wifi calling feature.
Now I had a z5 with ee firmware and had this enabled but I bought my edge with stock firmware.
Interesting thing is wifi calling works when I enable it even though EE site says it only should on thier firmware
Guessing that it's cause my sim got enabled in the Z5

well, if its a fake, it's performing as it should be with no issues and as fast as it should be so i'm happy... the same card is £200 on amazon... for an extra £140 ill take my chances.. it only carries my music and a few snaps, if it ever bombs its no biggie.
