Samsung’s website claims that one of the reasons to buy a Galaxy S7 edge is because hey - It’s a Galaxy. Because your phone should give you the freedom to do more. And it’s the least that it should do given the pretty penny you’re investing for one. But does it finally live up to all that marketing hype?
Not sure if you've noticed, but every time that we've reviewed a Galaxy flagship, there was always something missing. The Galaxy S5 had expandable everything, but we hated it's cheap plastic. The Galaxy S6 brought amazing build quality, but then expandability took a back seat. Never had there been a Galaxy that was able to balance the desires of everyone, And it seems that Samsung finally got the memo.

Hey Jaime, Did you guys happen to clock the time to start up? Like fully shut off, turn it on, and maybe time it between off and opening some arbitrary app? I'm just curious and I'm not sure Ive heard anyone mention it. Thanks!

I like Jaime and no offense to the other reviewers, but the reason I subscribed to this channel was Michael Fischer. Important devices like the s7 should only be reviewed by Michael imho. Jaime is good at the daily vids, the other new guy (forgot his name sry) should stick with sound discussion or whatever he's good at, but main reviews, at least on this channel, should be made by mr Fischer, that's what brought us here.

question: do you need to buy a new sim card because I never had a mother phone before ;-;
how do you get contra?
How did you see when the apps were closed etc?
what game is playing on 10:21 ???
I need help! I have a iphone 6 plus, which I do like, however I'm bored of Apple and looking at getting this phone. I want to know what is the edge screen actually like to hold and use. Does the curved edges make it difficult to hold? Also does the light reflect off of the edges?

hi i own this s7 edge and honestly its a great smartphone.i bought a flip case for it too for extra shield.the thing is u need to get use with a double edge screen.
execuse me, in every smarphones u have reviewed, there is a green tab in the home screen, hows u make that tab?(wigdet)
Great video review, Jaime. :)
hi! what's the game after contra?
can I rotate a video? After it records the wrong way.
Excellent review as always but you could have spoken about the integration with Gear VR. I am curious whether the resolution is better and whether the cooling in the s7 handles well the heating.
great reviews as always
Is it me or did Jaime s7 edges sim tray not look straight/pflush with the sides of his phone? Because one part of my sim tray is flat with the side, the other is more into the phone. Should I go to tmobile and try to get a replacement phone or sim tray?

I bought this phone and it doesn't die!the battery is a HUGE upgrade from my iPhone 6s. Love the design to.
can someone tell me that what android version is that?!?? plss
Had the phone since release, the Exynos version, couldn't agree more with the review, by far the best mobile phone I have used so far and that includes the Iphone 6s and 6s+, sony Z5 premium and many others. Thanks for a great review, very thorough without being too long.
very good review! i acually agree with all that you have said Jaime
where can I get the contra game he was playing?
2016 was actually the year Samsung finally delivered as a true king of Android. Its the first time I considered them to be serious in their quest to dominate Apple. S3, S4 or even S5 were all seriously lacking in terms of performance and looks. And now with the S7 they've sealed the deal.
I have to admit that what Jaime said in this review is mainly true.. I went to the shopping mall to try out the S7edge silver variant today and I was blown away... The phone is sooo sexy, the screen screams quality! Am currently using an iphone 6 and I will be due for a new phone in January :(. The last time I used a samsung (gs3)the screen was horrible and it lagged like crazy. Meanwhile on iphone 6 its has been such a smooth experience to use. But my main problem with iphone is that it limits you from doing what u like with ur phone. Fingers crossed till January..
Jaime very good review, te felicito excelente!

What specifically are Qualcomm's fast charge spec qualifications?
I haven't seen a glowing review like this in what feels like forever. Looks like my Galaxy S5 will get an upgrade
I love it that all the edge features came to my GS6 edge+ today! sooo happy
Pocketnow keeping you crazy busy Jamie, kudos on still putting out quality stuff.
Great review, Jaime
what is the game he plays at 5:25?
how to get that game at 05.24 ? i used to play that when I was little.. 😎
Woo! Jamie showing Queens some love! I know exactly where that is (in the hyperlapse video)
Confused with the comment regarding screen on time. My wife's GS6 gets less than 4 hours of Screen On Time, however my Note 3, 4 and currently the 5 have always gotten between 4.5 to 6 hours of SOT. Were you referring only to the S line specifically? As a Note user, I am very tempted with the S7 Edge. I'm really looking forward to finding out what Samsung has in store for the next Note...
I think I will renew on of my phone lines... Down here in Mexico I just saw an AT&T deal... You get a S7 edge in a totally unlimited plan (55 dlls per month ) for 70 dlls 2 years plan... :/, but we'll it also includes fast wireless charger and Samsung VR and some other goodies, not bad I think
what about the Rear camera performance in day time? better than S6? because s6 has 16 mp and s7 has 12 mp
Very good review, very objective. Thanks
Jaime, have you moved to New York??
Some one please tell me the name of the game in the 5th minute.. Its like contra on the video game, but for Android the name is different.. Please help..
When does the S7 Active come out?
Watching this on my silver edge 7! Best Samsung phone ever! Battery is amazing!

what color is best ??
Why nobody make a good review of the Galaxy s7. I bought the s7 edge and the camera quality was terrible. Inside my house I could barely see details???? Why you always be taking pictures outside? Even my iPhone 5s takes better pictures with and without flash. Can you guys make an honest review of the phone? I returned the phone because the picture quality inside and sometimes outside is very bad.
I got the Australian version (Exynos) and have had over 30% by the second afternoon before charging and charges fast. Screen is great although often accidentally touch the edges when using. always on needs notifications. Upgraded from Xperia Z2 ( need water/dust resistance and micro sd)
My note 5 fast charge stopped working a few days back and from what i hear that is fairly common with the note so I'm replacing the note 5 with the 7 edge so i hope this phone is worth it.
game @ 5:48 please???
Thank God you did this review
I love my S7 Edge Gold, couldn't get it in Silver as i originally wanted, but the gold is pretty bad ass as well.
I got one love it, wish they made a real unlock version like the nexus 6p, but so far it's the best smartphone I owned, and I owned two of the big boys on the block the Note 5 and Nexus 6p.
I drive that same route when i go to class at 8:14, i live like 15 mins away from there
dope!true review
can i know the lock screen??
Thanks for the great review
what is the game at 5:23?
what the name of the games on this video
Only the IR blaster and stereo speakers and glass back panel and... really no compromises.
Great review!
Glad to see another black onyx s7 edge. Makes me feel glad a purchased one
my s7 edge got so hot yesterday while quick charging that when I touched the screen it cracked ! 1 week one.. when I called the insurance company asurion , they said they were completely out of replacements because the moment of the release of the s7 edge they started to get claims for screens cracking ! mine cracked by just sitting then and when I touched the hot screen it cracked... I saw the s6 edge has had simular issues
This is by far the best review for Samsung galaxy S7 edge phone. I have been tossing around between Huawei P9, Nexus 6P and Samsung S7 edge. I'll wait for Galaxy Note 7 to see what it brings on table. Hope to see Note 7 review from you before I make up my mind.
pocket now, how much is tour phone bill each month and which company youre with?
how does he get his app screen like that? my s7 doesn't have any customization options for it anywhere. I've tried many different themes and nothing.

For photos I still consider the 6p's camera to be the best.
If Samsung truly wanted to "give you the freedom to do more" on your phone, they should have made the S7 Edge carrier unlocked and given us the ability to unlock the bootloader. Add to that the fact that Knox security voids your warranty if you unlock the bootloader and the S7 Edge is a phone that's more locked down than free. Fo shame, Scamsung...
