To be fair, the only time I talked about another phone is when I was accused of hating on the "competition". But saying that Samsung is not using the 820 to its fullest potential is derailing here I guess. No reviews can be posted unless they only point out positives. Should just rename this the S7 Confirmation Bias thread then.

Guess I expected it. Same response when I suggested the Note 5 designed their stylus poorly (which they fixed by the ways). Corporate white knights will always be the same.
Beyond the absurd multitasking comparison, where is the s7 underperforming? Please don't metion the video with the third party stop watch app. I use timers all day, timing my lab experiments at work. If this phone could do that, I would have already returned it.
 
Ok so after spending a couple of days with the s7 I'm sold. After installing apps and syncing everything battery life has been great. I haven't encountered any lag and the screen is simply mind blowing. I love the edge feature as it makes one handed use a breeze when I'm driving. I downloaded Material Design Black theme for $1.99 and now the UI looks great as well so no complaints there.
 
I just cancelled my pre-order, according to Samsung employer's the silver Galaxy S7 edge will get released in to Europe in April. I'm going to wait on it.

You have photos of the theme? I want to see how it would look on Silver Titanium device lol. Ik that's a strange request tbh.

Maybe there could be sale by waiting too, never know, right?

Are they now charging for material dark theme now so ? Thankfully I got it when it first came out but $1.99 to get rid of the horrid stock icons & white notification pane is still good value.

I originally ordered gold but cancelled and went with silver instead. Would have had the gold day one but still waiting for my silver. Worth it.

He has the Material Black Theme, which saves even more battery, Material Dark is still for free.

Anyone have a T-Mobile gs7 that can pop a Verizon sim to see if it works on CDMA and Verizon LTE bands?

The T-Mobile has unlockable boot loader right? And want to maybe sell my Verizon phone for a t mobile version
 
Ok, well I'm on t-mobile now. Unfortunately the pre-order for the S7 Edge is now back ordered which means I won't qualify for the free vr. The guy did say he would hold an S7 Edge for me with they come out on the 11th and I can go pick it up then. Kind of sucks, was looking forward to using the vr. Hopefully they'll do another promotion like this for the Note 6, I'm going to be first in line for that release.
 
Where do i find this theme?? Ive searched for both on the playstore with no luck?
Go to the theme store. And select search on the upper right hand corner.

Type "Material" then enter.

Then scroll down and you should see it.

This is on my Note 5, but it should be exactly the same for your S7.

Why no more gear VR if it arrives on the 11th?
 
Question about using Samsung pay. With Apple pay, you can simply put your device to the terminal and it will bring up which card you want to use for the purchase and it scans your fingerprint without having to manually pull up the card. Does Samsung pay work the same way? Or do you have to manually pull up the card and then put it to the terminal?

Swipe and pay I think. Just registered for it for the free charger, but don't plan on using Samsung Pay.
