Purchase an S7 Edge, thinking I made a mistake

[nviz22]

As a former S7 Edge owner and 6S Plus owner, I can tell you why I thought the iPhone performed better.

S7 Edge Hardware:

It has all the better hardware for sure. The screen is drop dead gorgeous. TouchWiz looks better than the outdate iOS UI as well. Quick charge is much better than lightning charge as well. No iTunes means cutting down on time spent with maintaining your phone. VR is great for the first few minutes. Water resistance is a must in modern phones these days. The S7E's camera is incredible. The Edge screens are useless, create hassle, and provide a dearth of accessories. The aesthetics aren't worth it. Heating issues are aplenty as well despite having "liquid cooling." A beefier battery, at least compared to the S6/S6E, does not help much because stand by battery life is awful. Notification LEDs and AODs are great combos nevertheless. The Snapdragon 820 is awful compared to the A9 and A10 processors. I left T-Mobile's S7/S7E before the updates to activate newer QAM LTE coverage. SD slots are fantastic to have as well. The fingerprint scanner isn't very good either considering Touch ID 2.0, Nexus Imprint, OnePlus, etc.

S7 Edge Software:

This is where everything goes south. Lag is essential to TouchWiz. Apps crash way too frequently for a flagship device. The resource management is so bad, that it feels like the phone runs with 1.5 GB of RAM rather than 4 GB of RAM. I spent way too much time disabling stuff to create a usable experience. Carriers disable features by default, thus inhibiting the user experience. The Whitepages spam feature isn't available on T-Mobile's ROM. Wi-Fi Calling isn't even baked into the OS, which makes buying an international Exynos model counterintuitive. The Samsung bloat is awful as well. Who programs an app drawer with Microsoft apps nobody uses? Why even sign the contract for that stuff in the beginning, Sammy? Then the app drawer needs to be reorganized from A-Z every so often too. Forget timely updates as well. Apps are also behind because of fragmentation, making it tougher for developers. Multi-window is only available for apps Samsung chooses. Despite "slimming down" the UI, making a more streamlined experience, etc, Samsung's positives are hardly noticeable because of all the issues. Smart Alert, the Edge glowing for people calling, etc are hardly noticeable.

iPhone 6S Plus Hardware:

The price tag does not warrant what Apple included. 2GB is a welcomed addition, but paltry at best. The 5.5" screen is only at 1080p and does not take advantage of the real-estate. A 3D Touch screen became more useful in iOS 10. The A9 processor is great, so great that it runs circles around the Snapdragon 820. The camera is solid, but it should not be the only 2015 flagship iPhone with OIS at the time it was released. The battery is big enough to give a solid experience without having to charge much. Lightning is an outdated standard. The minimal upgrade didn't make getting the 6S Plus worth it for me, but I was stuck with it after investing so much $ into a purchase. The headphone jack is a welcomed feature, especially since my iPhone 7 Plus doesn't have one. No back button and notification LED does suck from time to time. No cool features turns people off, especially when people like VR (albeit the gimmicky feature impression I get from it). Always on Siri hands free doesn't help much because she is so antiquated. Google Now and Google Assistant knock her down to the likes of S-Voice. The phone feels too bulky as well. It fell out of my pocket too much as well. The same thing with my 7 Plus. It does not have all the LTE features either, so it feels a little slower from time to time. You expect more out of a then $750 phone.

iPhone 6S Plus Software:

This is where iOS' reputation presents itself, especially if you want a no frills experience. 3D Touch, with iOS 9, was pretty negligible. With iOS 10? It becomes a bigger staple with your phone usage. You can finally disable Apple's trash first party apps. FaceTime & iMessage are the kings of instant real time communication. With iOS 10's new messaging features and emojis, it's hard not to appreciate RCS communication. Widgets present themselves in a nice organized fashion. There are less hiccups, but there will be moments when the phone can crash, albeit rarely. iOS provides timely updates, legacy support, and no carrier interference. I can get the newest apps first because of no fragmentation. 2GB of RAM means no app refreshing and tons of stuff can run in the background without issues because iOS' memory management is top notch. It's still missing some basic features that Android provides nevertheless: predictive dialing, an app drawer, UI customization, seamless ringtone changing, file system, etc. The Wall Garden is what Apple provides. The phone just sticks to doing the important stuff right and does not want to be your flashes in pans.

Overall, I used my iPhone 6S Plus more than my Galaxy. I had an opportunity to sell my iPhone 6S Plus or the S7 Edge during the first month the S7E came out, but I sold my S7E instead. When I got another S7E, I took both phones on a trip to Canada. I used the iPhone to communicate more because of iMessage and a more user friendly experience. I tried to go with the S7 to save $ by ditching the 6S Plus, but the plan backfired because of all the things I missed and the constant issues I experience with deceitful sellers, overheating, and lag. I eventually moved to the iPhone 7 Plus and a Nexus 5X combo. Both work fine for me, but I am always looking to ditch the 5X for a better upgrade without spending too much $ in the difference between buying another device and selling the 5X. I am pleased with iOS, but think it needs a revision for the 10th anniversary coming up later this year. I am rooting for Samsung though.

If Samsung makes a great hardware experience, guts the carriers from bloating their devices, offer timely updates/legacy support, provides wifi calling into Touchwiz, and provides no lag, I might be back on the S8. I am not rushing into a S8 purchase, especially when I learned my lesson from the S7. I would recommend an iPhone 6S Plus over the S7 Edge as well.

I using S7 Edge before also, but mine is Exynos version, I do seen a lot complain on snapdragon edition on internet.

I can only said lucky Asian model mostly is Exynos edition where no heat issue, no hang issue and no crashed issue I ever experiences with.

The only issue I get is certain games is really really not smooth in S7 Edge.

As for iPhone 7 Plus I am very happy with it except for example no LED notification, I do miss this sometimes. As for the headphone jack, it never bother me since I am using Bluetooth headset.

 

[techguy15]

I used Android for 5 years after initially starting with the original iPhone, 3G, 4 and 4S. Never had any issues with those iPhones despite jail breaking them and messing with so many settings to use on T-Mobile back in the day lol. But every Android I had seemed to have issues whether it was battery, hardware, software or total phone failure. I defended Android even when I was two versions behind the latest. ultimately I got fed up with all the annoyances though.
Just recently sold my Nexus 5X that was plagued with problems and am back on an older iPhone 5C but enjoying the OS and experience much better. I don't have battery issues, I have no lag even on 10.2 and apps don't crash. Android isn't bad though and I liked the customization options but in the end I didn't even care about that anymore like I did when I first got into Android. I just wanted a stable OS with good battery life. With iPhone I feel I finally have that again

 

[5105973]

Lots of great observations in this discussion.

I noticed HTC is keeping my unlocked HTC 10 supplied with regular updates including security updates. My AT&T S7Edge is getting updates as well, but slower than HTC.

My unlocked S7 purchased directly from Samsung is getting NOTHING so far. I will therefore never buy another unlocked phone from Samsung again, no matter how cheap. And my S7 was cheap especially considering they threw in a lot of freebies, including the VR headset. Because I don't have it secured, I'm going to take Samsung pay off of it and remove the sim and put the sim back in one of my secured Androids. I'm going to strip out most of my apps and just leave in the games and VR stuff.

That's a shame because it's small and pocketable and really more tough than I expected, so I'd like to carry and use it as a secondary phone. I don't use screen protectors on either of my Samsung phones because I'm using them both for VR. My S7 Edge is in a case with a cover so it's usually well protected. My S7 has no protection other than a Ringke case but is doing well.

 

[sunking101]

The Samsung Touchwiz skin is infamous for stutter, lag and longterm slowdown. However, it has improved a lot whilst iOS has taken a step or two back in terms of smoothness. Sure iOS still gets the nod but it really is *only* just these days when compared to flagship Android devices. The difference is pretty negligible.

 

[Klyster]

I know it's anecdotal, but my exynos S7 edge is pretty flawless.
The worst thing I've found is screen protectors are basically as useless as they were on the Note 7.
I just use the LED flip cover, not a single mark on my phone

Lag, a little in the gallery but there's 3000 photos and vids for the phone to display so I kind of expect a little lag when trying to refresh after scrolling.

Aside from that, no Lag really.

I agree that the curved screen edges serve little purpose other than aesthetic reasons, but I really like the look of it.

I'm forever getting "it looks so clear" comments from other phone users, so there's something seperating it from other screens, these people mostly have one to two years old, mid range to flagship samsung, Sony and Apple phones.

The Note 7 was the best phone I've ever owned in my opinion. The S7 edge is a close second.
Sounds like the snapdragon version is a pain in the behind going by the comments on this forum....

 

[Tsepz]

@Klyster I totally agree.

I to own an Exynos S7 Edge, and it is buttery smooth and fast,with that said I do encounter the little stutter here and there now and then much like on my iPad Air 2, but both these devices are generally very fast and smooth.

I do believe that the Snapdragon Samsungs suffer, as TouchWiz is built with Exynos in mind, it amazes me how much faster and smoother an Exynos Samsung can be vs it's Snapdragon counterpart, it has always been like this gong back to the Galaxy S2. In fact, with the Galaxy S3 Samsung even gave the Snapdragon an extra 1GB of RAM (making it 2GB RAM) to run more like the 1GB RAM Exynos i9300 S3.

Someone once told me "I won't use any Samsung phones without Exynos processors" back in 2012. At the time, I didn't care about how Snapdragon vs Exynos or other processors played out. 5 years later, we're here discussing how much better Exynos processing is. We haven't seen as much progress from Samsung as they should've made. I thought the S3 was the last good Samsung product I enjoyed.

I've always opted for Exynos Samsungs, the Note 4 being an exception, and towards the end my Snapdragon 805 Note 4 did start to heat up a hell of a lot, which made me realise that it's still always best to stick to Exynos Samsungs. I recently used a Exynos Note 4 and was so surprised at how much smoother and cooler it was on latest FW than my Snapdragon Note 4.

It's such a shame. I feel like Samsung have a hard time optimising their UI for Snapdragon. The Exynos is more about CPU processing power while Snapdragon is more about GPU, and it seems to me that Samsung have a hard time optimising towards GPU.

 

[Roadstar]

Well, I have an S7 Edge and an iPhone 7 I got 1,5 weeks ago as I switched to a new job and the 6s I used to have was left behind at the old job. When using the S7E and the 6s, I had my main SIM in the S7E as the camera was so much better and it was also waterproof. However, now that I got the iPhone 7, I've switched to that one as my main phone due to the camera getting much closer to the S7E especially when it comes to low light and the iPhone 7 also getting waterproofing. Yes I know that the S7E has a better waterproof rating with IP68 compared to iPhone 7's IP67, but that doesn't matter as I just want a peace of mind for using my phone in a rain or in a snow and both are sufficient protections for that.

I like the fact that with the iPhone 7 I can actually have a glass screen protector that works also with a case on and that it doesn't have the curved screen, which albeit being nice to look at (apart from the times when the curves pick up additional reflections from nearby lights) has just made the S7E more prone to accidental touches and the screen more expensive to repair. The Apple Watch also does more for me than Android Wear (Huawei Watch) despite not offering always-on time display I've grown to like with my Android Wear devices.

The S7E does have an advantage when additional functionality is considered, as I can actually have mobile payments and other NFC fun with Android while the NFC chips in my iPhones have been completely useless where I live and most likely will remain so for the foreseeable future. Fast charging and wireless charging are nice too. However, the quality of apps I use tends to be slightly better on iOS and I can't wait to try out Airpods once there's more supply and my order actually gets delivered. If the switching between devices works as well as advertised and they actually fit my ears, they'll make things much easier than I have with my current Bluetooth headphones and constantly bouncing between different devices.

When I got my S7E, I was happy to get the microSD expansion possibility to get more room for my data without breaking the bank. However, I've already had one microSD card break in my S7E. Fortunately I had Google Photos backing up my photos automatically as otherwise I would've lost some rather nice pictures. It's hard to say whether it was just a bad card to begin with or whether the rather high temperatures the phone would accumulate when using it with the Gear VR had something to do with the issue. Anyway, I'm now much more confident that my 128GB iPhone 7 has enough high-performance room for my photos and videos that's less likely to crap out on me compared to microSD cards in my S7E.

My S7E is the Exynos variant and so far the security updates have come in a reasonable time, typically within the same month they were released in. I'm still lacking Nougat, but as the security updates are there, it's usable and OK for me, but naturally iOS wins this comparison hands down as the updates are available everywhere right after they're released.

So currently I'm favoring the iPhone 7 over the S7E, but if whatever manufacturer comes out with a dual SIM device that's waterproof, has a good camera and is actually available in Finland, I'm interested in trying it out. Yes, I know that dual SIM variants of the S7E do exist, but unfortunately I'd have to get it via import and that would make possible warranty repairs unnecessarily difficult. That's something I don't want with a device of that price range.

 

[LIVEFRMNYC]

I never had any lag issues with the Snapdragon S7 edge or Note 7.

 

[widgeteer]

Hi All,

I took advantage of Verizon's price drop on the S7 edge and am coming from an iPhone 6S Plus.
We currently are trying them and my wife is not happy with the way android works and the battery life of her S7. Came with free VR

The S7 pluses for me is:
1. screen resolution
2. customizations
3. notifications and sounds

minus's are:
1. many say scratches easy.
2. cannot find a decent screen protector
3. bloated software
4. many apps do the same thing (confusing)

iPhone 6S plus (likes)
1. About a year old, no issues
2. glass screen protector
3. IOS
4. have mac
5. have apple tv

I am having a hard time deciding. Would like some feedback. Thanks

You listed a boatload of likes for iOS (zero dislikes), barely any likes for Android, some dislikes based on what other people say...what is it you want here, exactly? Go back to iOS. You won't be able to know if you really prefer one or the other unless you use Android for at least a year, same way you did with iOS.

I don't think you need to use either for a year+ to get a feel for whether you like it or not. You can find this out in a couple of weeks.

If they could add Wi-Fi Calling and Warranty support for their Exynos model, I might actually buy one because I don't get get those outside of T-Mobile.

A year? Sorry Android doesn't require an advanced degree to use for a consumer. You know pretty quickly if you want to be tinkering or not, or want to deal with the bloat of Samsung devices.

 

[GreenPea]

I own the iPhone 7 and am trying out the Samsung Galaxy S7 at the same time. I like both for different reasons. I keep going back and forth with each phone.
First, the Samsung S7 is AMAZING! I think it is the perfect phone, physically. The size, the style, the shape, the screen quality, the camera are all incredible. It just feels great in the hand and the screen quality smokes the iPhone.
However, I keep going back to my iPhone 7 because of iOS and it is a beautiful phone as well. iOS just seems more simplified than Android, which I am getting use to.
I sort of use the analogy of the iPhone 7 is a Porsche 911 and the S7 is a suped-up Corvette.
And while the Corvette might be faster off the line and top end speed, the Porsche handles better and has a classic simplicity and style about it that I prefer over the suped-up Vette, which is an amazing car as well.
Apple better watch out though when the S8 comes out, I can't imagine how incredible that phone might be.
Just my 2 cents.

 

[vikingjunior]

Cheap androids run like crap though. Hell even my S7 with 4gb of ram didn't run as smoothly as iOS on my iPhone se. I suppose if that occasional stutter doesn't bother you then great but I find it highly annoying

I have a $79 LG Stylo 2 plus that works flawless. Im not a photographer so the camera is just fine for showing people pictures on social media. The battery life is equal if not better to my iphone 6s plus. Speaker is more than adequate, calls are crystal clear the screen is nice and white bright. I for one like LG apps their nice and simple and uniformed, it's a shame that LG doesnt have their own browser anymore but that has to do with Google and security.

So to say lower end Android phones run like crap is a lie. It's refreshing not having to spend $800 and up for a device that does the same thing.

I might pick up the Stylo 2 tbh. Cheaper Nano sim phone sounds good to me.

 

[DaIfoneboss]

Actually iOS also not fully buttery smooth now. Any phone with resolution Full HD and above will facing slightly shutter from time to time.

Just the frequency is a lot or once in a while only.

I own S7 Edge previously and it is also very smooth. The smoothness didn't loose to iPhone 7 Plus at all (beside games).
[doublepost=1483775794][/doublepost]
I fully agree on what you said.

Just iOS also start complicating as well now and this lead to some user that don't want explore feel old iOS is better.

But for people that love explore will find iOS now is better especially those came from android one. More functionality and setting is much welcome to me.

As I said already no issue on Exynos edition. Also the features on it is blow way than others.

Also your link is Note7 which had nothing to do with S7 Edge.

Note7 is well known got issue and already stop production.

It uses the same exact S820 chip in the S7 Edge and S7 and a improved version of TouchWiz, and it's not what I am claiming it's what the folks at XDA found. They used built in Android tools to detect performance, touch latency, scroll performance, etc with the built in tools so, it is the worse performing S820 device out there , S7 and others got the Grace UI update that came with the Note 7 originally

the exynos version is actually noticeably better then the S820 model which is unfortunate. And yes it does have to do with S7 Edge and S7, well half of them that use S820, beause the Note 7 uses S820(half of them)

Note 7 and S7 use the same exact TouchWiz bar the pen features

Nougat could help alot though

Note7 is fortunate design problem and already calling back, this model cannot represent where all Samsung device OS the slowest.
