Agreed. Apple's software team has been resting on their laurels for a while now. Every year they add something cool and useful, but iOS hasn't had major changes or massive improvements in a long time, at least from my perspective.

Galaxy S7

Too many fakes even ones shipped and sold by Amazon have been bitten. Best bet is to buy from local Best Buy. #1 would be Samsung Pro+ for SLC endurance and write performance (128GB fluctuate between $99 and $200 so catch it at right time) and #2 Samsung EVO+.
I only purchase any type of storage from Amazon that is fulfilled by Amazon. Easier to return and will most likely not be a fraudulent product.
This good?

Bingo! Been telling this to people and they think I'm just being picky. Smh..
The S7 can handle up to 2TB SD cards! Talk about future proofing, considering terabyte SD micro SD cards don't exist for consumers yet.
If you can, wait for Best Buy to have a sale. I know people that hit burnt by Amazon, eBay and even Crackberry store.
Take MRU's advice. Get the one in the link of his quote, or this Samsung version ....

The Verge is wrong (surprise!) The display is not always on. They even explained this during the on stage presentation. The display goes off if the proximity sensor is activated. So, the screen is off in your pocket, when face down, against your cheek, etc... iVerge staff are complete morons.
Don't know if you're in the US but you get this for free along with Gear VR if you pre-order from Best Buy.
If you plan to put apps on the external SD card or to record 4k video, you need to buy UHS class 3 cards. They have a capital U with a 3 inside the U. These are the fastest read/write cards available right now, and more expensive. But will be worth it!
If I wasn't planning on getting the Note 6 I'd go with S7 Edge otherwise I can get by with S7.
If
If you pre-order from T-Mobile, you get a free year of Netflix, plus the Gear VR and 6 games. And the phone can be unlocked after 30 days. Pre-orders start Tuesday in the US.
The edge is really not that much bigger than the s7 regular.
And don't forget the s7 regular is slightly shorter and less wide than the current s6 regular.
Which to me means the difference between the s6 regular and the s7 edge is even more negligible.
S7 vs s7 edge:

Yeah that's not a bad deal. But no Tmobile or unlocked versions this early
Unless I'm mistaken?

I'd like to go with the S7 and try and get by with something smaller than my last go rounds.
Dunno folks, not sure it is going to get much better than this with other flagships upcoming. We got nice sizes and designs, good battery sizes, great displays, waterproof, dustproof, SD slot, etc etc. I would like to hear about the speaker quality and if there is any vibration to the device.
Home run? If not, then a very very solid triple. And I don't think we will be disappointed with the performance of these babies!

Forgot to mention but I'm pretty sure I saw in a hands on video that the "always on" function can be disabled in one of the settings. Right?
Samsung Galaxy S7/S7e is like HTC One M8 in 2014. Their predecessors brought the most design innovations. I still prefer the M7 design over M8 and M9. And I think S6e is fresher than S7e. What Samsung did for 2016 was correct the flaws that were brought last year by the S6/S6e.
- Bigger battery (3600 mAh for edge, yay!)
- Micro-sd slot (yay, again!)
- Waterproofing (triple yay!)
Samsung came up a better phone for consumers that only like simple things like design, camera, and battery life. LG made the better geek/niche phone. Again, what M8 is to M7 is similar to S7 is to S6. Doesn't lose points in design and gains mostly everything else except a few things.

The quote is contradictory. And another reason why I don't bother clicking on any iVerge articles.Should probably read the entire quote next time Lloyd.
