Yet to see any Samsung haters coming in to criticize this phone to kingdom come !
I am more attracted to the S7 Edge solely because of its bigger display size of 5.5 inch. These days I really cannot accept and use any phones with display size lesser than 5.5 inch. It'd be great if it can be 5.7 to 6 inch! But I supposed this display size will possibly be in Note 6 ?

Can whatsapp pictures n videos be stored directly onto ext sdcard now ?? I know this can only be done if the phone allows you to install the app onto ext sdcard
By default whatsapp will install into internal memory

Update from Singapore market ( from Hardwarezone.sg)

The new phones will be up for pre-order on the 26th of February, this Friday. Pre-order customers would then be able to collect their handsets on 11th March, Friday. General sales will commence on Saturday, 12th March.

As mentioned in our pricing and availability news, the phones will be priced at S$998 for the Galaxy S7, and S$1,098 for the Galaxy S7 Edge. Customers who pre-order will receive a free Samsung Gear VR headset (worth $148).

For those planning to be in Spore
According to Samsung's product managers, as of the time of publishing, you can try out the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge at these Samsung Experience stores right now:-
Bugis
Ang Mo Kio
Nex mall
Bedok mall
313 somerset
By tomorrow 11am (23rd February), all 15 Samsung Experience Stores will have the demo units of S7 and S7 edge

No plans to get the S7 series. Will wait for Note 6
I will look it up at Spore on 2mar when I am over there

Horizontal slot in is the sdcard while vertically slot in will be micro sdcard. Only one choice you can make
This is very old tech n had been used by so many other brands already

Well I start to see negative inputs from some guys - usual Samsung haters I presumed ? Anyway is your choice whether you like or hate it. No one is forcing you to buy it. And is Samsung choice what they wish to remove or put in their new phones - is their marketing strategy. Like it than buy . Hate it , just stay away

My son S3 now more than 3+ years old is still working very well. He is very happy with it and said will only change when it breaks down. Besides the basic phone features he uses the phone only for browsing, facebook, youtubes, ebook, newsfeed
He is simple user n doesn't even bother to update his firmware. He is not too interested in all the latest phone stuffs

Ram management issues finally fixed ??

I have zero problems saving photos onto ext sdcard on my previous Samsung, n current LG V10 n Mate8
Problems could be also due to inferior ext sdcard quality
I am using Samsung n Sandisk 128gb class 10 cards
Don't allow just one user complain points the phone negatively. If more users complain similarly than is indeed a big issue

Geez what has age got to do with photo quality??

Don't criticize blindly without any basis. My eyesight is perfectly fine as good as many much younger guys

You can usually do a preorder online or at the shop... I had to pay a small deposit few hundred ringgit upfront. That was what I did for previous Note 4. Just wait for the announcement - it should come out before 7 March

More info on ext SDcard on S7
Personally I don't need to use adoptable storage - ext Sdcard is purely for my photos, videos, music and files only

Samsung is not Apple. Infact I got most of mine on launch day n only one through preorder

I remember some guy said one cannot operate the phone under water ? Looks like he was totally wrong

Traditionally has always been Exynos here

Very true... seriously how many users really understand all the tech stuffs behind the chipset
Many are influenced by their friends ( who could be equally ignorant), comments from users in the forums etc
Personally on Samsung phones I had experienced both Exynos and SnapDragon on Note 4 and seriously I am unable to see any significant differences between them in daily usage. There could be possibly some differences in gaming which I am never interested in. As for battery life, my assessment the Exynos has slight better battery life on my usage. I would say both are equally good performers. Those who like to flash roms would prefer the Snapdragon chipset as the Exynos's source codes are mostly closed by Samsung
