Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 Edge

well if any have you have been following the leaks you'll know by now that they were on point. Samsung finally corrected everything i hated about the S6. bigger battery, no more huge camera bump, ip67 certified and SD card slot!





these phones are going to be awesome, no doubt. but dat Note 6 is going to be fucking win! all the things that were great about it will return this year.

I'm hearing one variant for North American market.
Also, I need to hunt down if it can be purchased outright without going through Rogers, Telus, etc.

Considering the size of the S7 Edge(5.5"), I doubt it. Doesn't really make any sense to make a phone that's the exact same but .2" bigger.

S7 Edge looks pretty nice. Maybe I'll upgrade from my Note 5. Not like I ever used my stylus.

Sincerely doubt they will release future variants. Will probably get s7 edge, but concerned about durability, anyone know how s6 edges have held up so far?

Why s6 edge? I battery life is poor. I know the s6 edge PLUS has trouble waking up from a blank screen. Hopefully they fixed everything with the s7

I meant s7 edge. Although I am tired of all of Samsung software glitches over the years.

Looks like pricing will be $899 off contract for the S7 and $999 for the S7 edge, definitely pricey.

The main issue I think with the 5x is that it only comes with 2GB or RAM. If it had 3GB it will be a lot better.
