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

All of us ex Note 7 owners can now rest assured that we're safe...

Samsung stands behind the quality and safety of the Galaxy S7 family. There have been no confirmed cases of internal battery failures with these devices among the more than 10 million devices being used by consumers in the United States; however, we have confirmed a number of instances caused by severe external damage. Until Samsung is able to obtain and examine any device, it is impossible to determine the true cause of any incident.

Torn between the Samsung browser and Chrome myself, chrome is definetely the better all rounder as it syncs with my Desktop and MacBook but the Samsung browser is quicker as xb8browney said.

Another thing that I have been dabbling with this weekend is I found an APK for the Pixel Launcher and it really is nice, runs nice and smooth. Combine this with the Pixel theme in the official Samsung theme store and it's ALMOST stock Android. I was running the standard Google Launcher from the Play Store for a while but what let it down slightly was that it doesn't scale well on High Res Big Screen devices so the icons were bigger than I'd like but the Pixel luancher solves this issue and what I love about both of them is the option to auto-rotate the desktop, Apple have had it for their 'Plus' phones so can't see why Samsung don't do it.
 
Its a no brainer for me - Samsung browser because its faster and I get the MediaServer battery drain when using Chrome. It's got Samsung sync (for syncing between chrome) and an ad blocker as well. It is kind of ugly but it seems to be improved in Nougat from what I've seen on Youtube.
 
I haven't used the Nougat software but I've watched some videos and Nougat looks like it will be a big improvement on the S7 Edge, with more speed, better battery life, more useful features and a much improved UI/UX.

I've tried a few since getting the phone - Chrome, Opera, Firefox, and the Samsung browser. Seems the Samsung one is the quickest, and has support for ad blocking without using a ton of resources (a complaint I've got with Firefox and its Adblock extension).
