Note 6*

Just curious. Do you press back to exit the app? Or just press the home button. Pretty sure if you press the back button it just goes back to how chrome was when it was launched. So yeah

Just curious. What is the model number of the S7 Edge that's in Malaysia?

Just took a look at Aussie pricing. lord and behold, i can pay 3 weeks of rent with that price.

Hmm. Thanks for the input. Looking to pick one up in when I get back.

There was a modified edge app for the S6 edge that does just as you say. But it required root. So not a lot of people installed it

Just picked up a S7 edge.

I am now using Disa. An app that I fully endorse and recommend to anyone who is looking for 2 whatsapps on their phone.

For those who don't know. Disa works like a unified messenger app for SMS, FB messenger and WhatsApp and more to come in the future.

I am in constant contact with the development team of Disa. So, if you find any bugs or have any questions, feel free to ask me and i will take it up to the devs and have it fixed ASAP.

EDIT: added link here

Disa runs a bypass through older WhatsApp servers that runs on lower firmware phones. While some might still say that it's not fully secure because of not up to date servers.

However, bear in mind that WhatsApp already launched P2P encryption. So no one can intercept any conversation. Not even WhatsApp can read it.

As much as I like seeing texts creeping out of the edge and the wow factor from friends, I f*cking hate the edges.

This my 18 hour first impressions on this phone

1. Unintentional touches on the edges. I probably accidentally touched the home button in chrome a few times while typing this.

2. Introduces glare on both sides. The purple/pink tint on the glare made me think that I had a defective screen.

3. With the extended edges, screen to body ratio increased by 4 or 6 percent, this is both a curse and a blessing.
(a) 1 being a bigger screen and
(b) I have less metal and glass to hold on to.

4. Battery life is surprisingly good with 6 hours SOT. Did 80% LTE and 20% WiFi with two SIMS. One local number and one number on Roaming.

5. Camera has noticeably lower DR compared to the Nexus 6P. Not sure it's the ISOCELL issue or just Samsung's slightly poorer implementation this year.

6. I feel that this phone gets hot faster than the Nexus 6P as this is a glass sandwich. As we all know, glass isn't exactly known to be a great heat radiator, unlike metal phones which act as a giant heatsink.

Anything else I miss out? AMA

Generally I'm not a fan of cases. And I bought a skin for the phone. So I'll be using a skin on the phone. But I did buy a case and screen protector from Sakurazz while waiting for my skins.

Also, I doubt putting on a case can improve its cooling.

But then you're containing the heat but not actually radiating it out. Hahaha it's okay lah. I'm just nitpicking. Doubt I'll stay long on this phone too. Unless I have to.

The heat build up is quite prominent around the camera module area. Maybe because I'm in winter now so I feel heat a lot easier

no problem.

on a side note, those who are interested in getting dbrand skin. There's currently a sale of Carbon Black and Matte Black being sold together as a pack for 50% off the original price.

use this exclusive link, here. i cant find it on the normal page.

i bought Matte Black

to be honest, no. hahah it's still quite slippery. But I want to do is prevent the f*cked up micro scratches on the back glass. Plus Black Onyx and Matte Black is gonna be sexy as hell. AND that it doesn't pick up fingerprints anymore.

It does quite little to increase grip. but if you're targeting for grip, I suggest you go for either leather or carbon fiber.

May have just fallen in love with the S7 a little bit more now

leather is little bit better lah haha

leather is good enough i suppose. Matte black doesnt give you the rubber texture bro. it's quite a lot like the smooth surface of the plasticky smooth mousepads, but obviously it's a little bit rougher than that.

Exactly what i meant about the back getting warm. good review.

I use all my phones naked. but recently, Im sponsored by Rhinoshield. I use all their products now so its a skin + bumper combo.

i didnt root my phone bro. I just installed the Good Lock app. one of the reason why i got the S7 edge in the first place.

when you root, it is easier to transfer app data from one phone to another and thats all i use root for, and sometimes the good root apps too.

then might i add that you entered the wrong side of android perhaps? maybe you should have tried Nexus phones instead of Sammy's Lagwiz. If you have tried it, what made you go away from stock android itself and tried Touchwiz instead? Stock android a far better experience than touchwiz.

Weird. I don't have that option for Fast Wireless Charging. :/
