Galaxy S7

[MRU]

I haven't noticed a difference so far in battery life tbh.

Do you have the 6s+ and SE? Everything I have read about the SE has been all positive! Imagine if they discount the SE after the IP7 release this fall. Imagine a SE for $299 or $350? How has the battery life been on the SE?

Yep the 6S+ and SE. The SE has really been positive and it's great for portability and as a handset. Camera has been great and the battery really surprised me with how good it has been.

maybe not palm touches as much as sides of my hand and fingers when holding it around the edges.

Yep same.

BTW... on my S7E... long pressing the back button opens the menu of apps sometimes. Anybody else notice this? Is this TouchWiz or native to stock Android MM?

Touchwiz has done that for a long while (since when they first replaced menu key with the multitasking/recents button).

Really? Like when using it normally in one hand? I almost never get that. Of course, we have different hands and whatnot, but damn, sorry to hear.

But we all know there's no shortage of smartphone choices for you. Glad the S7 is working better.

Holy crap. I never knew that. Nice.

Yeah the false touches and the difficulty gripping the device when watching videos has really irked me. It's slipped out of my hands more often than any other device including the slippery bare iPhone 6 & 6S. It was one of the reasons I just decided to go ahead and order the HTC 10, just because of frustration.

Aesthetically the S7e is an amazing device to look at, but from a practicality stand point wise it can be one of the most cumbersome.

I have none of those issues using my Spigen clear case. No slipping and no false touches.

Nice. Do you think it's from the case or screen protector? Because my s7e is completely naked and I get no false touches either. Very rarely anyway.

No screen protector for me, just the case. That said, without the case, I get some unwanted false taps, especially on the right side. Likely due to my palm hitting the bottom right side of the phone by accident.

With a case. No issues at all. If I wasn't using the Edge software so much, I would probably go get the HTC 10.

I never really got in to the one hand usage other than on the odd occasion, maybe as I was too use to the older PDA/phones (before Apple could spell Phone ) where stylus was required, although I always thought the most dextrous thing for one handed use at the time was the old 5 wheel button on the late Siemens P900 series

What is the maximum read/write speed of sd card on s7?

If I purchase sandisk extreme pro (250MB/s read write) will I be getting the full speed? Or I'm better off buying other cheaper model?

 

[The Game 161]

good news folks

after Unlockedmobiles site got back to me yesterday they are sending out a new S7 edge today and I given me a label to return the S7 ASAP. Glad they sorted this issue quickly so when I get home from work I know what my main evening will be planned as.

Nope. No phone that I know of is currently able to get the theoretical max speeds of UHS-II.

Aim for a card with a consistent read speed 95mb or above and a write speed at 45mb or above. That will be good for 4K. I doubt you'll be doing anything heavier than recording 4K to an SD card, so anything way above those speeds is essentially overkill and your paying premiums for nothing as you'll unlikely see any benefit.

Looking to get an S7E and is there feedback within this 166 pages of which color choice is the best for finger print magnets?

I am assuming the black is the worst with the titanium being the least affected. I like to use my phones naked if at all possible and looking to switch from ATT to TMO with their jump on demand and 2 line deal they have going on.

titanium looks really nice. My black is at home waiting for me to unbox it so looking forward to testing it.

the black is a fingerprint magnet! I have the black S7 and it is always smudged. But I also love the whole black look when the screen is off....

I am with you on this. But I do love the look of the grayish, titanium model. I will want to see it in person first I guess to make that decision. Still deciding if I want to switch to TMO though.

I'm really annoyed that Samsung never added a fingerprint resistant coating to the back. You can really tell the difference.

I hope you weren't a Man City fan and if you are, at least you've got a nice phone to lift your blues

Ha no, Leicester fan here so matching my blue. Might try a theme soon I reckon.

Pretty much set up for most of the apps, SD CARD in also....just put it on my wireless charger. Display is stunning and with the few pics I've taken it really is top draw...few hours in and I'm very impressed

Congrats on your Foxes! Even this 'Yank' was glued to the television watching the Chelsea/Tottenham match hoping for the outcome that resulted...intense match, loved it. My kids and I catching whatever match(s) is on here on Sat/Sun mornings has become a bit of a tradition past couple years.
