Overall I'm impressed with the camera so far, even my friend agrees the camera is on par if not better than her ip 6s. Maybe it's also because I'm coming from Sony, with their infamous waxy texture doh.gif

Should annihilate ip6s in low light. Use manual mode.

Good comparison between 2 different variant of s7 camera, not much different actually, both are equally good in performance http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/ho...s-sony-t3332806

Wow. Surprisingly Britecell is consistently matching imx if not better.

Still contemplating... Same like you gonna use case, so it would not matter much anyway smile.gif

It still matters. The bezel colour matters. That's why 99% of TV out there have black bezel.

No issues with the Android/Samsung lag? The S7 Edge would be my first Android phone.

The reason why I switched from iOS (iPhone 4) to WP was because I was extremely annoyed with the iTunes thing. The whole iTunes syncing thing pissed me off to no end. I really, really, really hated iOS back then. But I'm quite happy with my iPad since I don't do much there other than browse the internet, watch Youtube and read some books/PDFs. Guess it depends on the usage.
*
Not intending to turn this thread into iOS vs Android... but IMHO, the strongest advantage of Android is it runs like a computer; which unfortunately is the weakest part too if you do not know how/don't have time to manage it. Some people just don't like the idea of micro managing their phone in order to maintain the responsiveness and having good battery life.

Nowadays Android has mostly eliminate the lag issue (depending on what skin you use). I once believed iOS was the king. But then my ex-iPad Mini 2 stuttered once in a while too. So it's not entirely lag-free.

China launched already and i get to play and feel it. To be honest black, silver and gold look equally great! The white is so so and it looks like plastic.

The phone just feels nice on hand. Doesnt feel like 5.5inch phone. In fact it's almost same size like my mi4. The auto focus damn quick lol.

The price over here however sweat.gif
*
How about the silver? Will it be too reflective/distractive under the light/sun? A lot of XDA forummers switched to black after handling at silver in shops.

Glad to hear about the good ergonomic. I do not like phablet.

Haha, I have faith that we can have a level-headed Android vs iOS discussion. My method of ensuring the longevity of an iOS device is to stop updating the OS after a certain version. My iPad 3 is still on iOS 7 and it feels perfectly fine, whereas my friend's iPad 3 on a newer OS crashes quite a bit. Even my iPhone 4 on iOS 6 still doesn't lag too badly (I use it as an mp3 on the rare occasion that I go running).

Are there Android users that refrain from updating their software? My Android-using friends still give me the impression that their phones lag after some time. A lot of my friends using S6 don't seem to have a lot of nice things to say about their phone.
*
I don't update my Android phones' firmware whenever possible. A lot of times I find the stock firmware version (out of box) is the best. doh.gif

Maybe your friends are power users. I don't know. I don't have a lot of apps in my phone and I don't play games on it. It's pretty much lag-free.

Benny pretty much summed it up:

For Androids avoid installing unnecessary utilities such as memory managers, auto task killers , system enhancement, some of the battery improvement app. These only cause higher battery usage and at times can be destructive. Their benefits are short term only. However many users still like such app n is their choice. I rarely faced lag on most of my Androids. The only laggy one I would say is first Galaxy n Dell Streak
Android since Jellybean had improved a lot n such app totally unnecessary
This is based on my experience n helping troubleshooting my friends phonez. I have used so many Androids since the First Nexus One.
And do NOT install app from unknown apk or dubious sites - many of such app are poorly coded n will only bring about funny stability issues. Be wise n study any such apk before installing. Alas I do know many users just to save some money resort to such app. They had only themselves to blame if their phone runs into issues
*
I noticed my friends who are complaining their Android phones are slow have lots of junk/bloatware that they themselves have no idea where they got it from. Those are memory hogger.

Well shit. Guys you better get a better case. This guy dropped his phone from the waist high and it cracked at the edge.

Ouch.
That's why I prefer non-Edge. But then they are not selling it here.
I plan to use it naked. sweat.gif

The email confirmation has clearly state collection of preorder will start on 17mar till 20mar
So why bother to keep trying to contact Samsung on this?
I am sure those who had preorder will get an email if there are any changes ?

Don't know, man. I really think Msian customers are getting very kiasu lol.

Not really. It would be when it could run autocad and cadcam.

I don't think ios is all about smoothness. A lot of iFag used it as comparison. Actually I never once considered that, but rather how well the app or games perform which actually give ios the upper hand. Of course android had caught up a lot but still suffer in games, especially racing games. If ios developers ain't so greedy and start charging iap which turn off users, the gap could have been bigger.
*
A mainstream computer can't run AutoCAD either. What I try to say is, it has all the basic functionalities of a computer. The one which really stands out from iOS is the file manager.

Yes I agree with you regarding the apps quality. Apple can control everything, right from the API to the hardware and driver ...it's a totally optimised execution path that gives it an upper to Android.

alright, what kind of stuff do you want to discuss?

lag? or how awesome the casing is?
forum 101
1. new phone coming out, everybody speculating some disappointed some very excited some say lag
2. launch date is out, everybody sharing where can test/impression
3. pre-order info, everybody cursing/sharing how to pre order, or how they going to ban samsung for life.
4. making payment, stuck at debit/credit/paypal. different pricing etc etc ( currently we are here)
5. waiting shipment. cursing shop/courier service/kastam
6. phone received. complaining imprefection/QC/ problem/warranty
7. 1st day / 1st week use without protection, screen shattered, again complaining
8. after 3 months, start talking about lag, custom rom/knox/ brick
9. this phone sucks i am getting note 6/nexus/sony/huawei/xiaomi

in that chronological order.
if you are not happy, you can always go to XDA where they split every topic into a different thread. 1 for SP 1 for Casing 1 for custom rom etc.

Dont complain, change.  - Henry ford-

It's more than sufficient for such a small sensor size. It's the quality of the pixel that count.
BTW Nikon D3S (Full frame sensor) has 12.1MP only. smile.gif
