Hi guys,

Just got my S7E updated to Nougat, so far UI experience is just okay. UI seems like a combination of Miui (75%) and iOS (25%) - my personal view.
Previous apps icon look nicer than current one, now looks rounder.
Camera seems okay. Speed seems okay (I am on dev mode with x0.5).
Cant comment on battery life - previously battery can last throughout the day and night is about 30%.
New "device maintenance" under setting seems like better than previous one.
I think they should allow option to "transparent" the notification bar, allow user to customize % of transparency.

Regarding to battery life, some time I think weaker signal area will cause your battery drain faster. e.g. solid wall/building which causes low signal.

Also, thanks to a user earlier, recommended me ultimate shield for screen protector. It is really good screen protector, cover most of surface. So I am not using any casing or anything, feels like using "real" phone.

Edit: I found out Apps icon can be changed under Display, "Icon frames". So that is okay.

Oh I see, I misheard A7 as S7 😂, so between S7E and A7 2017, which one do you guys like recommend?

Bro S7E already awarded MWC 2017 Best Phone in the world, even after 1 year of its launch, beat the likes of Google Pixel, Huawei and iPhone 7. If you don't like Edge, go for the S7 Non Edge.

A7 is just a medium cost phone.. Nothing special about it for its price.

I enabled "Developer options", it allows me to change "drawing" speed, e.g. transition, animation etc. People uses this option will never go to iOS cause u will feel like phone is responding slow.

Wow, are you using the original charger from S7E? Or some other fast charging charger?

Seems like quite a number of cases of replacing motherboard...

I always charge my S7E over night...

It is advisable to get the additional 1 year warranty from samsung that cost RM99 for S7E since the device is not cheap when it comes to replacing parts~

Yes I use everything original the phone only 2 - 3 months with minimal usage as spare phone. Will get it soon before the warranty expired.

I also didn't expect this to happen, usually I don't charge it overnight once full ill unplug before sleep

Yes. Not many powerbank offers "fast charging" to S7 edge. By fast charging, I mean powerbank charging speed as fast as the speed with adapter. I'm using it, with the 5 port quick charge 3.0 charger too.

Same here. Since fast charging is available, I have changed the timing for charging my device.
