    The S4 Gallery app was just painfull to open! The "contact" app too.
    I'll say it again: the S6 is a LOT better, but it's not the same as a Nexus!

    My wife has a Z3 Compact and it is much more fluid than my S6.

    And for me the S7 Edge is the best phone out right now!
    Just undestand what i'm saying...

      I haven't had a problem with touchwiz since galaxy Note 2 updated to kitkat. let the argument die it is getting old. Probably use a touchwiz phone before you talk about it.

        Actually Samsung flaships are the best all-around phones, no question about it, and the S7 is a really strong proof.
        The only problem is STILL the software. Yes, the S6 has improve A LOT, but still not as smooth as a Nexus, Motorola or HTC.

        PS.: I have a GS6 and I just don't buy a S7 beacause the price here in Brazil is just ridiculous...

          I must say that I agree. Best phone ever, hands down. And the pricing hits the sweet spot, especially when they bundled it with Gear VR and it's free games.

                    There just isn't real competition this time round. I mean, if you were to include price then the mi 5 is probably the better choice, but if you just look at the phone there isn't anything better.

                    Main competition would be the g5 and iPhone 6s, but the s7 is better in so many ways than those phones you'd have tonne crazy to not get the s7.

                                        The battery life of the S7 is far from "best ever", but the S7 Plus is up there, but still not quite "best ever"
