The others close. Normally not an issue, but if I'm on a Skype call and I'm switching between Instagram and Chrome and whatnot, the phone will kill Skype.

Quick impressions of the S7 Edge:
Pros-
-Very responsive TouchWiz
-Great feel in hand similar to Note 5
-Camera is better than Note 5
-Faster processing and can have tons of different apps open
-Always On Display is dope
-Battery life seems a lot better than Note 5 already
-Expandable memory back had only (3 GB of space on my Note 5 left, have about 32 left between the SD card and device storage)
-Screen looks great and more vibrant
-Edge Screen functionality is seamless and way more options than the S6E I think. Can completely customize the apps, people, tasks and even a few widgets with just a swipe. Will be nice not having to scroll back in forth between stuff I use all the time.
Cons
-No S-Pen (this is the first non note I've had since the 2 so it'll take a little getting used to)
-Lack of themes (understandable since it just hit the market
)
Other than that no real complaints. Build and look of the phone is really solid, screen is virtually the same size as the Note 5. I actually may be good with this device for the rest of the year even when the Note 6 drops.

[COLOR=#red]You're doing to much homie. Don't blame Samsung because your phone doesn't want to act like a Surface Pro 4.[/COLOR]

Yeah I was going to say that's some pretty resource intensive stuff. Most phones will choke up
Hell, even some laptops would be sluggish

3GB of RAM, and Chrome+IG are less than like a quarter of a gb.

Mine came with a USB connector in the box and you just attach it to the S7 and your old phone and it transfers everything, took about an hour and a half.

[COLOR=#red]That's because the S3 was a dumb chick with low self-esteem willing to do anything to please you.The S6 knows her worth and isn't about to let you run her into the ground for your pleasure. How could you not know this bro?[/COLOR]

Played with a g5 today for a few moments. Pretty cool. Have zero concern of the battery falling out.

Messed with the S7edge today.
Feels WAAYYY better in hand than the S6edge with those sharp edges. I still think the thinner edges of the S6 edge look a little sleeker, but that doesn't translate to hand feel. The right decision was made here.
The black is nice. What the black shouldve been on the S6.
Felt pretty snappy, but Samsung devices always feel snappy in the very beginning so take that with a grain of salt
Screen was nice, and the little slide in edge feature is way more useful than it was on the S6.
Camera is nice as expected.
Not that much changed from the S6 though. As someone said earlier, this is what the S6 should have been.

I like the spigen case with the kick stand, but it's very slippery. Anyone know of a case that has a kick stand + good grip?

So I wanted to test the battery life yardage l yesterday at work. I got 10 hrs before completely draining that was browsing, social networks, most of the day as well as watching some super Tuesday coverage and the Laker game. Not bad at all. With just normal usage I can definitely see this getting near 12 hrs of usage considerable improvement from the Note 5 where I would maybe get 7-8.5.

anyone know what's the cheapest unlimited data plan around nowadays? I'm on the tmo $30 prepaid plan for 5gb at LTE speeds and with all the streaming I do (twitch, sports games, etc) I usually hit 4gb in two weeks and have to ration my data after that. I know they had that free streaming at low quality but that's not for prepaid customers yet. It took a while for the free music streaming to hit prepaid as well.
Don't need the minutes much, who does nowadays, just give me unlimited data and text.
