I like everything about this phone even after 5 years. Just that the screen is less durable and speaker is lower than the Galaxy s6.

I owned S7 AT&T variant and I used it as my daily driver for 3 years, it was great phone with rich features. I love camera the most it still great compared to other phones nowadays, but the phone itself are easy to get warm, even with just for social media. The battery is still great if you don't mind to charge twice a day, fast charging from 5% to 100% in an hour.
from the price range of this device, I can say this is great phone and you would get beyond from you've paid. if the OS more optimized I can't say no word to say to this device.

luchoalb, 21 Jan 2019what about your battery life , screen on time? are u satisfied?The battery life is about 4.5 hours (straight gaming, non-stop) if you are gaming with the screen at roughly 50% brightness. This is after more than 2 years of use, so the battery is still working great.
If I just use the phone normally.. like maybe 1 hour of gaming, a few mins of web browsing, a few mins of texting, checking the weather twice, watch 1 or 2 quick videos on youtube, playing music about an hour and maybe 2 phone calls at about 3 mins each, and the rest of the time with the screen off, wifi on when at home, LTE connected always... I will still have roughly 30% battery at the end of the day. So that's about 9+ hours of battery life.
This is the last phone from Samsung for now that still has a REAL home button. This is a major plus to have on a phone, since this button will always work no matter what, even if you are inside a game, app, screen off, or buggy app, crashed app, or if the screen is damaged. Also, this real home button saves you 1 swipe or tap every time you need to use it since the newer phones require you to swipe or tap a few times to get the button to show up before it can be activated as a home button. That 1 swipe or 1 tap adds up over the life of the phone... if you pressed a real home button 400k times over 3 years, you will be swiping, tapping the fake home button on newer phones more than 800k+ times (inflated since taps and swipes are sometimes lost/buggy on all phones (apple and android). Ive seen the newest Iphone XS.. and they have this rediculous hidden UX/UI that you have to tap and swipe multiple times just to get something and when not in use, it is constantly hogging a portion of the screen as a drag-able bubble. I don't know why they would remove the useful home button completely.
It has a headphone jack! Yes, that sounds silly to mention as a feature... but it seems some phone manufacturers think that removing the jack is what they want to do. For me, the headphone jack is a necessity because I can plug in any headphone I want instantly and I immediately have the maximum quality sound possible. Without this jack, I would be forced to either carry dongles, choose to either charge my phone or use a headphone but not both at the same time, or use wireless which means a huge drop in sound quality, a slight lag delay, enabling and disabling "pairing" and waiting for the headphones to "pair", more battery drain on the phone during use because its broadcasting and receiving Bluetooth data while I use the headphones, and I have yet 1 more device to charge every day and night (the wireless headphones). So for me, having a real headphone jack is actually a real and wanted feature.
This Galaxy S7 phone has a great camera and great video camera. It has a memory card slot, so you can easily swap it out if you fill it up, and swap in an empty one while you copy your pics, videos etc to your computer without tethering your phone to it or uploading slowly over 4G LTE or WIFI.
It uses industry standard USB, so you can find a cable anywhere. I do recommend buying the high speed charging cables, since they enable the fastest charging speed when connected to a fast charger. The charging speed even after 2 years of use is still just 1 hour to get a full charge.
The screen has amazing vibrant colors due to the OLED technology. Black is pure black on this phone since OLED can turn off those pixels, where as LED screens light up even when the color is black, which will produce a greyish tint caused by the backlight in LED screens.
The phone is very fast and powerful with 4GB of RAM and a nice graphics card for gaming. The Samsung OS comes with a game tweaking app that lets you superclock the phone and push it to the max resolution for the best looking and super fast gaming. Or you can switch the resolution down to save battery power or boost the frame-rate even higher. You can also down-clock the GPU/CPU to save more battery power. If you just need a quick battery boost, the phone also has 3 battery modes... Normal, battery saver, and a super low battery mode. The super low mode limits the phone down so that it can last several extra hours by blocking everything that is not essential to running the phone. You can still take pictures, run google maps, make phone calls, text messaging, web browsing and some other apps.
The phone is waterproof and it is safe if it falls in the water, snow, rain, etc.
The only 2 downsides to this phone are:
if you put your phone at max brightness and use Waze(gps app), you will get a huge screen burn in on the right from the orange circle button that Waze uses. This is probably a common problem on all OLED screens. So no matter what app you use, dont keep an OLED screen at full brightness for more than a few mins or you will risk screen burn in for any content that is constantly on the whole time (clock, battery indicator, speed, ux/ui elements, huge orange button in Waze, etc).
The only other drawback to this phone is the sealed in battery. The Galaxy S5 and phones before it had batteries that you could easily remove and swap out with a fully charged battery. The S5 did this with waterproofing, so Samsung could have added this feature to newer phones, but chose not to.
