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

Ample? half the storage on my phone is taken by games/apps, almost 60GB. :D

The rest is mostly music, videos, images and roms which I don't really need with me, most of it's online.

I hope Samsung change their mind and add the feature, I don't want to go back to managing what I install again after only a few days, we shouldn't have this issue in 2016.

How often do you actually engage with majority of the 60GB content though? I would guess most of it is sat there dormant?

Whilst I agree that adoptable is beneficial, it does have the risk of poor data redundancy if someone removes the SIM/SD Card tray whilst the phone is on. It's reported that this is the reason why Samsung did not support adoptable storage.
 
Does anyone have any experience with mobilephonesdirect.co.uk? They are offering the S7 Edge sim free at £619.99 and there's currently £47.25 cashback with them through TopCashBack.

I use most of them throughout the week, if I uninstall them I usually end up installing them again so I just leave them installed to save time.

Restoring my phone usually takes a long while. :D

Currently playing though Final Fantasy IX and Liberty City Stories when I can drag myself away from Vainglory. ;)

I have a long commute by train so this helps make it bearable.

Don't get me wrong, I love shiny new tech, but I do like to see some decent improvements for my hard earned cash. I need to be able to justify a purchase when you are talking over half a grand.

At the moment, changing your phone every year is a mugs game.

It's been the case for the last few years really. Fair enough if people want to, but I think more and more are realising it's pointless.

But hey, my phone is 3 years old so I'm tempted! :)

Does it though? Or does it make manufacturers lazy and greedy?

If they know they can churn out the same phone with a few tweaks and loads of people will buy it anyway, then they will.

First off they made a list of solid improvements this year. Hardly what I'd call lazy.

And second, why drastically change the design of the phone when its already one of the best looking phone available?

Change for the sake of change is pointless. And S6 user's should be happy the design hasn't changed too much, as it doesn't make their phone look so dated like going from the S5 to S6.

what you want them to do ? i think what they done is very good, its the best looking phone in my opinion already and its water proof with that design , and the 5.5 inch is very compact for that size screen what other phone has that, look at the iphone 6 plus size with a 5.5inch screen, and the battery capacity jump is big in my opinion
 
I've just managed to get into store and take a look at the S7.

I would say the Gold is more of a Silver and actually quite nice. That said, I'm sure if you scratch it, it will show up quite clearly.

For me it will be the Edge :)
 
Got email confirmation from Samsung that the VR will ship with mine now too :cool:

Now just got 2x wireless fast charging docks and the Gear 360 to get.
