    +NTDang my policy is to use phones I review as a daily driver for a couple weeks before writing/filming. I don't feel like my "experiential" impressions compete directly with what other phone reviewers do and since this isn't really a phone-centric channel I don't feel the need to rush out to be the first one to do an "unboxing" or "impressions" video. There are already a dozen guys out there who do that better than I would.

    Not quite, they still need to catch up in the speaker department. Taking a leaf out of HTC's book would be a good idea for Samsung. As it is, it's hard to choose between the pro's and cons of this and the HTC 10. I'll likely go for the better sounding 10 although the water and dust proofing on the Galaxy would be very nice.

    Linus you definitely should have done the S7 edge instead because it's NOT actually any harder to hold than the S7. The edge had a 5.5" screen vs 5.1" but it's only 3mm wider and the edge on both sides actually makes it EASIER to reach because it fits the inside curve of the thumb and opposite side fingers, giving you those 3mm back. Also it has even better battery life because of the much bigger battery and same resolution. Also, the edge screen is waaay more feature rich for access from the lock screen. All other specs are the same and the only downside is that both edges make it even easier to press the tactile bottom buttons when holding the screen from the bottom.

    +Terraapples They'll do it again with the S8, it looks like they specifically market the even number models (at least since the S4) to people who just buy the latest one every year. Then for most people who generally only buy every second year anyway, the odd number models focus on useful features and real usability.

    brendano221 There's truth to this. My first smartphone was an S3. Had it for awhile and it started slowing down so I upgraded to an S5. Had that one for two years and my mother-in-law needed a phone so I upgraded to the S7 Edge. The even numbered phones just weren't a huge change. I couldn't be happier with the S7 Edge even over a year later. I see no reason to upgrade.

    I've just switched from S4 to S7. I'm not surprises because I know what this beast can do. Even if Samsung did has some gimmick features in its predecessors (Like the S4 that I've used for 3 years) or made a wrong decision some times. but it means that they always try out for something new for the phone. That is what the "True Innovation" supposed to be defined. Not only just put a music player and a telephone together then called it smartphone and become a god.

  • @LazerLord10

    As someone who bought the G4, I really enjoy the manual mode in still image mode, but there are ABSOLUTELY no manual controls for video mode! What the heck is that all about? I can't even change exposure offset, which is VERY important to not getting completely washed out video when there is a bright subject. Heck, my 5 year old Droid Razr could do that! Yes, I know that I could use cinema FV5 or other 3rd party cameras, but they just don't work nearly as well as the built-in camera. If I want to take a quick video, but everything is over-exposed, it takes too long to open a 3rd party app that may not even work. (Cinema FV5 barely runs, and it only records 1/3 of the time I push the record button)

    Still rocking a S7 and the only problems i got are battery failing and a stuck sim card tray. The phone still responds quickly despite the storage overflowing. The only reason i'm considering a new one is because of the repair costs to keep an obsolete phone viable instead of getting a flagship killer. Great review Linus glad i took your advice back then.

    This phone is a work of art. I picked one up a few days ago, the edge version. Absolutely the best phone I've ever used. The whole thing is covered in gorilla glass 4 with a polished mirrored high grade aluminum. GG4 is harder than most metals, only exception being minerals like quartz that can scratch it. You won't need a case for this one, as long as you keep rocks out of your pocket and don't drop it, it will stay immaculate even from microscratches. I love the themes and customization offered by TouchWiz. The only caveat of this phone are the speakers and the non removable battery ( which is understandable given the design) best phone ever as of April 2016

    ***** In what ways do you mean "lag"? If you mean in terms of "scrolling" through the apps, no, it scrolls just fine. If you mean when opening/using apps like say KZread, Internet, etc, no, it works fine. If you mean games, well, I personally don't like gaming on mobile in general, though, I recently downloaded Digimon Linkz just because I am a Digimon fan and I must say, the game DOES lag in few parts (outside battling) and it crashes plenty of times too. Though, I don't know if it is because of the phone itself or because of game bugs. I was very happy with my S5 even when I had the original "Kitkat" OS on it (in fact, I regret upgrading to "Lollipop" because I don't like the white settings layout at all and prefer the original dark layout of the "Kitkat" OS instead).

Nevertheless, my only grip with Lollipop is the layout color for the settings. If only they gave you the option to change it to whichever color you want, I would've been totally fine with it.

    The speaker on the phone sucks. I've been using the phone since day one, and I'm an audio engineer so sound is something I'm fairly good at. Best thing to do is use good headphones. The phone itself comes with a prebuilt equalizer and amp for master sound. Pretty nice feature if you listen to music with good headphones or watch movies on your phone.

    +Dylan Baraldi If you need a new phone then it's worth getting. I upgraded from an S4 that I used for 3 years and was still going strong. From past experiences, Samsung phones tend to last very long (high end phones) so if you did get one you wouldn't necessarily have to upgrade again any time soon due to performance issues. Then again most people upgrade just for vanity so that's something to keep in mind. If you must have it then it's worth it. If you have a decent working phone then just save your money for when you actually have to spend it.

    There is one weak point, the DAC on the S7 kinda sucks. If you listen to music via headphones a lot, consider getting the HTC10 instead. Besides that, the HTC10 has been tested to have about 30% faster responsiveness compared to the S7, has a closer to stock Android experience, and also features USB Type-C. But in trade you will lose waterproofing and wireless charging.

If you care about customization but you still want great battery life and long software updates, maybe consider a Galaxy S21/S21+ or wait for the Oneplus 9 / 9 Pro. Phones have gotten a lot better in the battery life department since 2018. But Apple is still the leader when it comes to polish and long software updates imo, even if you lose some customizability along the way. I use a jailbroken iPhone 11 Pro Max and I absolutely love it. The camera is great, the performance and fluidity is great (even if it closes apps in the background a little bit more often than I'd like) and the battery life is superb. So my recommendations today would be: Oneplus 8T, Oneplus 8 Pro, Galaxy S21, iPhone 11 Pro / Pro Max (the Pro Max is a pretty heavy phone but if you don't mind the weight and you like big phones I recommend it), iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro Max
