the S7 edge silver and gold won't be out until the end of March :okay:

Yea and only way you can get those colours are to buy the phone out ��

i dont think so. i stopped using them years ago, never had any major scractches. id rather deal with a few minor scratches and swirls than a less responsive screen.

im pretty sure those glass screen protectors scratch a lot easier than gorilla glass so you just end up with a scratched up screen protector to protect a screen that probably would have been fine anyways

^^ I use tempered glass screen protector on all my phones. It save my phone screen a couple times already. Usually when I drop my phone the tempered glass just cracked or shattered but the phone display is fine. Beside tempered glass is only like $3 on ebay.

I can't stand screen protectors. Usually by the time I notice fine scratches on the screen I don't care about the phone being perfect anymore

Mine shipped tonight...it best be in store tomorrow

screw it
caved and got the neo hybrid case from Spigen on amazon using the GALAXYS7 code since it expires tomorrow

I checked my rogers account, i was 6th in position for the past week, now today i went to 12th position. Wtf

anybody picked up from Metro yet :P so tempted to go during lunch break...

Just picked mine up from Metro.

There goes my productivity today...

Did they call you to pick it up or do you just go there mentioning you have a preorder?

I went to the Wind store by work to check out the S7 in silver. I was a bit underwhelmed with the Silver color on the front. It wasn't a very bright or sharp silver color compared to the side rim.

I'm hoping the color on the edge will be better or I might consider white or black

Posting from my s7, I have the Samsung exyno cpu and Sony camera sensor. Would like the sd820 though... oh well

^where did you purchase from?

i got mines last night, i was playing with it yesterday too. i went to put in the sim today and the phone reset, now its asking me for my google account and when i put it in it says that you have to sign in with the owners account. lol fuck back to rogers i guess

from Samsung Experience store, it is unlocked as per staff... i will probably take my girl's sim card and test it out

Pretty sure Canada ones are Exynos.

^yeah, from what i gather it's only the US getting the SD820.. I still have not seen a lot of info on Exynos vs SD820 and supposedly SD820 manages heat better. Any idea if SD820 is much better than Exynos?

I wouldn't worry too much about which version you get. It'll be a dick measuring contest between geeks who are more concerned about benchmarks than functional performance.

Not really a matter of performance, but development alone would have me buying a Snapdragon variant.

Shouldn't Exynos have better development? That's been the case in the past due to ROW using Exynos.

No. Snapdragon has a significantly larger development base and Exynos is a bitch to develop for as far as I know. That's why CM never bothered with the Note 5 or S6.

Ahh. Guess things have changed in recent years. I've only been flashing Nexus devices these past few years.

Galaxy S7 Bootloader Explained: You Might Not Get AOSP After All

Bad news for Snapdragon variants.

Well, that sucks. We will have to see in a few months if they figure a way out.

I got a 6P so it doesn't matter to me right now.. at least :badpokerface:
