'Sadly' this place just a lengthy discussion on SP anywhere anyday anytime with very less technical discussion.

Come on guys, this phone outlook design is so nice and sexy, they heard what you want, using metal + glass design, but you guys not bother to put plastic rubbery after market SP, cover to wrap the sexy body within the shelf, really don't know what's wrong with you guys.

I know the SP is not expensive, but not cheap as well. You might say better safe than sorry, but did the SP/cover you bought have provide you any certification/report/statement in technical terms that it will provide protection to your phone when drop? What's the height before the SP fail to protect, what is the strength it provided (in newton, m, kg) does it provide the technical data? NO, NO, NO, just fancy wording on the packaging.

Change your mind guys.

I never saw a possibility that gorilla glass 4 cannot withstand scratch, unless you purposely use diamond to scratch it.

That's why I say, change your way to use the phone, I notice a lot of ppl like to put the key/coin together with the phone. But again, I don't see the items I mentioned can scratch the screen if put together.

But.. but.. last time if i didnt use sp, if look carefully can see tiny2 scratches on the screen.. then fast2 put sp again.. after that not dare use without sp..

But now, my S7e still got no sp cry.gif

Ya. I can see that. That's why i asked. Are you openning whatsapp on screen all the time? The more you read and type in whatsapp, the higher percentage you drain in the whatsapp part. That's how I see it. Mind to tell us how you use your whatsapp daily?

I use the web browser and email more than whatsapp.. just need a few seconds to read whatsapp msg, and another few seconds to reply.. there are probably just 2 active whatsapp groups.. i said whatsapp probably drain my battery was because the battery drain is kinda paculiar today, since i enable whatsapp last night.. or maybe other app running in background

Yes, plus the edge UX. Some may find it gimmicky but personally I find it's useful especially with the apps & task edge panel.

I see.. well to me, the edge is just a design, wont hamper my day to day use. How much is the rrp difference?

Too bad samsung did not bring the non edge in. I too might go for the non edge if the price difference justifies

After few days usage of Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Here is my summary view of it. smile.gif

user posted image

  • Screen - the color is much punching and nicer if compare with Note5, when compare side by side I feel my previous Note5 is a bit blueish. I much prefer the color tunes on S7 Edge, it seems this time the adapted to screen color is much accurate now. Simply gorgeous!
  • Camera - The auto focus is amazingly fast, Note5 camera is fast but no way near S7 Edge camera. The output is as usual great as what Samsung always did but in my opinion, Samsung shall slightly turn down the sharpening, it is somehow over sharpening sometimes. Daylight and nigh time is great output and nothing to worry about from focusing to result. The add-on Motion Photo is real cool when watching on it, I know this is somehow copying iOS Live Photo, but who care!
  • Performance - it is undeniable nowadays performance is never an issue even for middle range phone, so nothing to worry about this beast!
  • Animation Smoothness - S7 Edge is fast but if you ask me Note5 or S7 Edge animation much smoother? I will tell you Note5 is much smoother in recent Android 5.1.1 firmware. I not means S7 Edge smoothness really bad, it is still extremely smooth but need some fine tune as you can occasionally seen certain part animation is slightly less smoothness especially when first time open Themes in home screen and also that Game Launcher.
  • Sound Quality - I found out S7 Edge output is much stronger, deeper and louder than my previous Note5 when using headset. For a normal user not audiophile, I am satisfied with it sound output quality.
  • Edge Functions - For me Edge is just added beauty to the phone, the functionality still gimmick to me, I never use any of them even though I didn't turn it off, phone got 4GB RAM, no worried let some unnecessary thing running for nothing.
  • Phone handling issue - I never had issue on handle Edge phone since my first use of S6 Edge probably due to I always hold side all the while since I use touch screen phone. So I am perfectly fine using S7 Edge without facing any accidentally palm register the screen.
  • New Features - Game Launcher is cool but Samsung shall think about hiding the games icons automatically once it is auto added to Game Launcher. The Always On Screen is my favorable and I will definitely use it, now I no need turn on screen just for the sake to check clock, but Samsung shall implement third party apps notification support.
  • Bugs - The finger sensor not working in third party apps for example PayPal where working perfectly in my previous Note5. Another issue is the com.samsung.faceservice not responding, advice disable it for now using Package Disable Pro until Samsung fixing it. I don't face any auto restart or hang issue anymore after disable this.
  • Final Though - Do I regret switch my Note5 to S7 Edge? Definitely Nope! I am happily owning it. smile.gif
