I am very interested to hear how you think it compares to the Note 4 one.

I've been playing with mine and some games play and look great, mainly the 6 games that come free from Occulus.

I've wanting to try out Deadhalls, since everyone always says it's terrifying. I was able to play it for around 5 minutes, then I had to take it off because I was getting nauseous. Game was pretty cool and freaky, but I thought I was going to blow chunks.

I'm pretty sure it will be near exact. The only thing that may be an improvement is the fact that the S7 Edge is .2 inches smaller than my Note 4 and therefore the screen won't look as pixelated. I'm more excited as the S7 Edge version won't heat up as my Note 4 constantly did while using it in the Gear VR. I had to always use it with the battery cover off. Also, I like the fact that you can have the phone powered through the new gear VR now.

Mines coming April 30th gotta wait so long!

Proud new owner of a Galaxy S7 here, having a blast getting it all set up. This thing is super snappy (then again I'm coming from a Galaxy S4 so what did I expect).

I know how you feel. After last year's s6 removing the SD and battery I swore off the galaxy phones and got the lgv10. This year I caved and got the s7 edge. I feel like an iphone sheep. Hehe.

I keep bouncing back and forth and seeing new in box S7 Edges on swappa for AT&T at $715 is awfully tempting. I can hock my mint Note 5 and spend $225 which isn't a big deal for a new toy.

The lack of a decent glass protection option due to the curve is probably what's going to make me wait for the Note 6, along with the dream of a 4000mAh battery.

I have a new unlocked Tmo S7 edge if you're interested.

Does the S7 have the fastest autofocus in a camera out of any smartphone?

Out of any device... almost I think.

Not exactly apples to apples but still interesting.

I compared it to my iPhone 6s +, and yeah, It beats it without question.

It beats most SLRs man! And once it gets locked it stays locked too.

Ha. Luckily I cancelled as I remembered that I'm going to be away on the weekend and I don't really want the delivery sitting on my doorstep in the rain for a week even if the phone is waterproof!

I really want to wait to see if they bring the 64gb version to market in the UK but I doubt it as they have a terrible track record of announcing those and not releasing them.

 

[Skurge]

This probably has to do with the carrier bloat.

The S7 has amazing standby time.
I had it charged this past weekend. and I squirreled it away in my nightstand. It's still at like 4x% and I have 2 exchange 1 gmail and a few apps installed on it so far.
Hopefully it can hold out until I get a wireless quick charger . Don't want to plug in the wired charger O_O

In the end I sold both. It was kind of a hassle to make a mere $300 bucks. Probably wouldn't do it again.

How did it work out? Did you get it from eBay?

 

[Oyeve]

My Gear VR promo just came in the mail! Now I can sell off my Note 4 and the Gear VR for it!

I'd ordered it direct from Samsung. I think I'll still wait a bit and see if any of the other versions shake out.

got my watch today, it's pretty cool but going to take some getting used to. I have been wearing solar or automatics for 10ish years every day.

Just wait for it -- if you like your smartwatch, you may start looking at conventional watches very differently. "What, it only tells the time? How quaint."

Or he may end up looking at his smartwatch and wondering why it's not working then remembering that he has to charge the damn thing every day.
