Hi Everyeone.
I have an S7 for work and use it daily. If you are considering Android - DO NOT GET THIS PHONE. I do not understand how Samsung can make an Android device that cost nearly twice as much as my other phones and have managed to MUNGE that Android experience to the point that phone feels like a different OS. The phone is running Android 7.0 and performance is great, the phone is pretty, and the screen is nice, battery life is good, and things run smooth. The finger print sensor is sub optimal, it works only about half the time. Its worse than on my phones that are 1/3 the prince of this thing. The phone dialer sucks. Voice mail is useless, Default Text App horrible. No App drawer, the Samsung Android Overlay is just awful from a feeling point of view. I would never spend the amount of money on this phone for the Status symbol of owning a SAMSUNG.
I have 2 other Androids; I have an Honor 6X for personal use and use a Motorola G5 daily as well. I loath having to use the Samsung. These phone retial for $200 dollars US, where the Samsung is $600 or more. I do not see the extra $400 dollars in value in the Samsung. After using several more affordable phones I can not recommend the S7 over the other 2 phones mentioned.
I would recommend buying a less expensive phone and spend the savings on a IPAD and am not an Apple Fan either.
I hope this helps you evaluate your options for an Android device. If you choose the S7 I am sure you will be happy. But, you will be out an extra 400 dollars as well. AND if you are on a Contract even more. I do not do contracts.

One thing I miss from the nougat firmware is that you could not switch off/on the phone and mobile data/wifi without unlocking the phone, this was a great security measure as if your phone would get stolen you could easily track it...

I can't compare it with Marsmallow coz my phone was came with nougat. Bt Oreo pushed more power and speed to the device. Battery is gud. Noted that i haven't formatted the phone. Although i think the auto brightness sensor needs some calibration. Let me know if any1 having issue with it?
