Rather annoyed as I've now had to move money from my savings account into my main account to cover other things, suppose I should just keep it all in one place lol.

Yeah, not really bothered about the results, just posted that because of the comments about heat.
Personally don't think it's concerning at all... The Xperia Z5 uses heatpipes and I've yet to see any heat related issues at all from the SD810 SoC inside it other than the expected getting warm/hot when streaming heavy bandwidth content over 4G or WLAN (480Mbps).
The heatpipes are designed to stop the phone exceeding thermal thresholds, of course t will get warm/hot during heavy workloads. Who in their right mind is constantly running heavy workloads on their phones anyway?

Yeah I'm sure you're right, and for my usage I can't imagine it being an issue anyway. Just thought it was interesting as there was a lot of fuss about the 810 and I thought this was going to be better (with regards to the 820, though I realise that's not what we are getting anyway). Not that the 810 would really be an issue for me.

Mostly I wanna see the battery life, cause I think that will matter more, if its more then a few % points then we have a problem.
I hated the 4:3 aspect ratio sensor that one my sony compact camera's had so much that it made me go out and buy a new camera....
Who would want to take 4:3 ratio pictures in this day & age with just about every TV/Monitor/phone/etc screen ratio being 16:9 or wider...

Isn't it supposed to be a more professional aspect ratio for photography?
Maybe 4:3 is a better ratio for selfies.....
But I guess people would use the front facing camera for selfies..

I'm interested as to why so many people are ordering the Edge (or want to order the Edge but are worried that it will be too big).
Wasn't the big drawback of the S6 Edge/Edge+ that it was uncomfortable to hold?

i think thats the way it's going, the 950/xt also as 4:3 aspect ratio for 20MP

Phones nearly always use a 4:3 sensor. No big deal just select 16:9 mode in the settings. Obviously it's a crop but the difference in quality is negligible.

The design is now improved on the edge with curved back and smoother sides. I used my sisters S6 Edge and it wasn't really that uncomfortable anyway.

It is.
due to the curved back does it lay on the table flat still?
Bigger battery is my reason. Regarding the actual size, coming from a nexus 6p, it's small!

I was a huge Android fan had the Hero, Desire HD and Nexus 5. Kit Kat or Lollipop completely decimated the battery life on my Nexus 5 so I picked up an iPhone 6.
Can't see me going back, Android tends to get apps and games later than iOS but the main reason is OS updates, even on Nexus devices you can wait anywhere up to 1-2 months before Google deem it your turn to get the update.
For Samsung and others it's even worse, my brother and sister both have the S6 and neither can download the Marshmallow update despite it apparently being available, they have unbranded phones.
It also took around 6 months after Marshmallow released for Samsung to even release it in the first place.

Tell you what though, Antutu benchmark result on the S7 = 116668
compared to Antutu on my S6 of 69000. Not quite double the speed of mine but close. That S7 is fast!
