Nah. Probably just with a beta and running night mode. Certainly dimmed to look as bad as possible.

Anyway, that pic is nothing more than a sad cry for legitimacy from the most "prolific" poster in this section of the forum. It's an essential tool to disguise his lack of knowledge and inability do deal with some harsh (for him) reality and facts.

I mean, and to have the nerve to talk about "devotion". Samsung's userbase is composed of users like that. It has nothing to do with enjoying technology or understanding it. Or needing those devices. By his posts, he's certainly no Dev.

Anyway, getting ready to sell this POS and buy an iPhone soon.

Just out of curiosity; why do you insist on being an ass with every post? Are you so dogmatic that everyone must agree with your POV? Different strokes for different folks. Get over yourself and move on.

Oh, come on, it's not a POS :), but just not very good. When i bought S6 last year after around 3 days of using it i was sitting in my office with the phone lying on the table and i was like hmmmm. Actually i felt like i was robbed, because it is most certainly not worth the money they are selling it for. Very mediocre experience.

He's stroking differently. You have something against his stroke? Get over yourself and move on.

Don't waste time with that. They only proved my point long ago, that this thread (and others like this one, with the same 7 to 8 users) do not exist to share experience, learn, understand other options and so on.

Look how defensive they get. Some even dare to talk about "flaming" and how we do not respect their "different strokes", while they can't tolerate anything other than that, even when faced with facts. It's hilarious. Oh, the insecurity... Better take another picture with 7 phones and 4 tablets to see if I can get some online "props".

Anyway, I have nothing more to post here. I proved my point.

It's a circlejerk about "apple suckz" and trying to close their eyes in the face of facts as much as they can.

I don't waste time. It's a very good amusement for me.

It was the one closest to the light from the window. I will try to post more later when I get home. I have to decide whether to keep the S7 Edge it the Note 5. I won't part with my 6s+.
 
Also, as important, Apple's approach means that any new industry iOS enters, it will leave Android as nothing more than a cheaper, less relevant, less successful, option.
I'm open for a nice conversation, and I will answer to thoughtful posts, but not fanboyish rants. I don't care about those and I won't play that game with the usual suspects.

So, again, despite having a slightly better screen on pretty much any metric (that advantage will quickly disappear, as sales of galaxies drop so much and Apple becomes the savior of Samsung display) and a slightly better camera, how can someone actually buy and recommend the S7, on rational metrics? You just lose so much.

Samsung could sell a potato and the typical Galaxy buyer would buy that instead of an iPhone. They got no reason to really try anymore.

Have a nice day.

You just wrote a super long rant, only to kill it's credibility with this? :confused:

Don't do it, bro. Keep it close to your heart.

Otherwise, how can you justify your positions, in the future? Anyway, there's some cydia hacks, you can even tint and dim your screen just a little bit! Keep going strong.

Have a nice sunday.
 
Got to love a troll with self imagine issues.


It's very simple, either you want the latest and greatest with more of an open environment or you want a locked down Tony Ive dream.. Some people find the locked down environment appealing, for example the elderly.. Apple locked down NFC to Apple Pay only making it useless for anything else. They also released a pricey iPad Pro which has been a flop.. Remember "The only thing that has changed is everything".. The reality is what changed is I ditched iPhone and IOS for Android based devices..

I won't say anything about it, anymore. My point was already made. Having said that, I have some legitimate questions for you.

Does xposed work in 6.0 and the s7? If so, and I'm imagining that you are obviously rooted, do you use the paid version of greenify in impulse mode, and adaway?

How does Samsung's supported content blockers work compared with adaway (I know they aren't systemwide)? Stock browser only?

How does the phone behave in impulse mode? Same as previous versions?

Seriously, are we dealing with kids on this board now? My only phone is an iPhone 6s+, which is irrelevant to the discussion about a Galaxy S7.

I just don't understand the dick measuring that goes on around here. Who gives a crap if someone prefers one OS over another.

Are you Tim Cook? Do you get a cut of all Apple sales? If not, then please explain why you give a crap about what Samsung does or doesn't do. Try to respond as an adult would.

Your agenda is clear in the is thread. You have been called out for it numerous times. My 6s+ is not jail broken or running any beta software. My Note 5 is not rooted. These currently is no way to unlock the bootloader in the S7 for the US models. You can rationalize all you want buddy. It's so sad to see you tie your self worth to a product like that. That you would come into the alternative section just to inflame others. Says a lot about you and your agenda and narrow POV.

Being adult is boring at times.

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.

People are mentioning it still has Touchwiz lag.


But add this guy to the list of reviewers with zero credibility because he said something not glowingly positive about this phone I guess. Which is sad because this is a very crispy review (I think he is associate with MKBHD somehow).
 
well I have a hard time getting behind the recent anti- everything not apple hatetrain

I can stand behind some touchwizz hate :p chooo chooo

while we're being honest, I have not held the phone in my hands, but software is my #1 concern w/ samsung

But right after he said "Samsung lag" he said "it's not a slow phone by any means". Which means he's probably one of those guys that measure in milliseconds.

I personally experienced zero lag on my S7 Edge, and have yet to see one video of the S7/S7 edge showing lag. They sure would have exposed noticeable lag on video by now if it were an actual problem.

Not to say that the S7 is immune from ever having lag. Nor any smartphone.

I do hope it keeps that way for you. Yes, it was a very positive review, as most all have been.
