will the owners of first batch will get the free128gb sd card or that is also 1st come 1st serve basis?
*
This question has been asked umpteem times - please go and read Samsung email confirmation...it is very clear all preorders will get the ext sdcard
The "ist come 1st serve basis" is only applicable on preordering the first 1000 and subsequent 2000 units

There is no best color

Thank you Benny. How do you find the phone so far?
*
Seriously i don't find it that great. Guess too much hype over it
I still prefer my LG V10 and Mate 8
But that is just me

Impressive.

Yesterday day one i manage to hit 6+ hours SOT
This phone is much better than my ex S6E n it remains cool even after using continously for 4 hours. The S6E was very warm more of hot under similar usage n my SOT than only 4+ hours

Did you turn on power saving mode?
My device is barely useable when it's switched on
*
I never believe in using such powersaving mode which i seriously doubt it works
Only xperia series i believe in their stamina mode

Waiting for your review involving NEXUS 6P, LG V10  & Huawei Mate 8 against  Galaxy S7 Edge  biggrin.gif
*
I won't be writing up any comparison amongst these 4 phones
Suffice to say the S7E has its own strengths especially on camera and great battery life
I much prefer the V10 n Mate8 solely because of its bigger display n these phones feel comfortable in my palm. I feel Samsung had overdesigned the phone to make it more compact but this could be an attractive feature to many users. Both these phones of course had their respective weakness too. One preference over one another will depend on which feature is more important
I will be using the S7E for at least next 2-3 months n than will decide whether to sell or keep till next Note6
At presence my preference in order on phablets : LG V10, Mate 8, S7E n Nexus 6p. I will be posting up the 128gb Nexus 6P for sale soon

Anyone care to comment on s7e batt vs note 5? This would be the main "upgrade" i am looking at
*
Is better than my ex Note5. My N5 was rooted n tweaked n i could get 6-7 hours Sot. The S7E in stock unrooted condition i hit up to 8 hours SOT. This could solely because of increased 20% in battery capacity
Phone operating temperature also obviously cooler n this helps too

Unlike iphone button, the Samsung button is VERY ROBUST and rarely you heard of it fail unlike iphones

Best Samsung phone i had used to date
My quick 2 sen assessment

Display ? Seriously i had never like samoled n still same feeling towards it
Camera - one word excellent n a good fight with LG V10. Low light shots are good
Battery - very happy with it. With mainly internet based stuffs ( browse, facebook, mail, whatsapp, youtube, tweeter, newsfeed etc) on mainly lte i had recorded minimum 6 hours SOT up to 8+ hours SOT. Best I had ever achieved on a Samsung phone. Everything is in stock without using any battery saving app n i dont use the power savings mode. Operating temperatures remains generally cool n it only gets very slightly warm only with intensive usage
Audio volume - above average
Video playback - superb
Smoothness - some minor minor lag at times but acceptable n is not critical issue. I am using action 3 launcher
Edge : very sensitive n so much so i gave up using favorite boat browser as i prefer its bookmarks to be slide right to show. Many times i got the edge menu instead. Only stuffs that interest me in the edge is contact list n certain app access. Still feel edge features are gimmicky. I can happily live without it
SP - dont believe in such stuffs n will not consider applying any. Bought a cheapo rm30 flip case as temporary measure. Waiting for an imitation Samsung basic flip from ebay to arrive
Things I don't like : display size too small n phone design had made it too compact for me. I prefer a slightly bigger phone size
Overall satisfaction factor : 9/10

I look forward to Note6 with its bigger display ( probably 5.9 inch?) N spen

Where got so long wo in real life, normal daily usage browse web, read mail, Facebook, whatsapp, make a few calls, less than 8 hours battery flat. I tried to tweak as much by disable most thing still same. I expect this phone when normal daily use can last me at least 24 hours interval before full charge again, it's impossible. Almost same like the small batteryiPhone 6 only....disappointing
*
Wow that is very bad - 8 hours flat. You can dump this phone with such poor battery life
My phone i can get 8 hours SOT with usage easily up to 14 hours
I didnt even disable much stuffs n didnt even use power savings mode
I suggest you send in to check battery quality

sorry noob here...was wondering how is the dual sim actually working. I got 2 MaxisOne plan on board. How can i utilize both data plan for FB, Whatsapp using this phone?

There is no dual sim phone in the world that allow simultaneous usage of data. At any one time you can only choose one. Switch over to the other sim if you need to
