I don't know what is scary. It doesn't impact our phones.

Hi. That is correct. Although, if there are no more Edge phones in the future that could curtail development on this one at a more rapid rate. I was also concerned about this with respect to next phone I will buy, which is hopefully a continuation of the Edge series.

it's totally crazy

I can't go back to a normal phone now iv used an Edge phone. It is wrong to not promote a phone properly then stop upgrading, Samsung fail.

I think Note Edge series will be replaced by S6 Edge plus. It will be 5.7' screen and edge screen on both sides.

I'll keep my Edge forever then!

But no S pen...

Face it. For good or for bad, we've got the very definition of a Frankenphone.
In spite of all the positive media attention and how quickly it sold out in every market they made it available, Samsung doesn't seem interested in make the Note Edge as we know it part of their yearly lineup.
They seem more interested in tinkering around with their own in-house mobile platform that is completely useless, clunky, and a waste. Oh, and don't forget smart watches - talk about sinking money and manpower into something that is a niche market at best.

The more u see about the note 5, 5 edge (or s6 edge plus) scares me. I cant believe that the note edge was so under appreciated. I loved the hell out of mine. In fact regret getting rid of it especially if there will be no note edge 2. I traded mine for a nexus 6 thinking "in a few months the next version will be out and i will grab one"
The more i see about the s6 plus i am worried that there will be almost no edge function on anymore phones. The fact that the edge had an actual ton more use than the s6 edge really sucks if things are going to be the way they appear

In my opinion S6E+ it only matters for the battle with iPhone. Samsung must take into account NE2.

Well, perhaps there is hope for those that need micro sd. Presumably battery can be pulled too.

I sure hope they do another note edge. I dont want a big s6 edge i want another note edge

And the more gimmicky nearly nonfunctional dual edges. SMH!!
Sadly the Note Edge is more functional than a phone with 2 edges, how the hell is this possible?? LMAO!!!
I hope we see a Note Edge 2 2nd-Q or 3rd-Q 2016

But it seems as though by then and the direction the S6Edge+ and Note 5 are headed in I'll becoming a devoted LG Stylus user, where they don't remove parts and call it a upgrade, such as the microSD Slot and removable battery.

Samsung if I wanted a to buy a iPhone I'd buy an iPhone or ChinAndroid iPhone, quit trying to force your competitors specs on us and call it a better experience and a upgrade, lack of a battery and microSD slot is not a gain no matter how you look at it.

Getting the s7 edge? What are you coming from

Just a little discussion on your upgrade and why
I'll be getting the black version and I'm coming from the Note 5. I'm a Samsung fanboy, is that a good enough reason? Lolol

I've already pre ordered. Coming from S6 Edge. I'm going for the bigger screen, camera etc

i'm not sure to buy a s7 edge... because the 5,5". i have the note 5 now, what means?

Most likely going on the Samsung Upgrade program actually. Coming from a White S6 Edge mainly for the improved camera and better battery. Will probably sell the S6 Edge to counter some of the cost as I have another 12 months on my phone contract, then go Sim Only next time I'm due to upgrade. Will go to the Samsung Store tomorrow to check it out properly before deciding on colour.

Gonna preorder the Edge tomorrow haven't had an android phone since the S5 .

Coming from a much used 2.5 year old Note 3. Love it but it's a little long in the tooth now and the camera is awful. Got a good deal as I bought two S7 Edge phones along with 20% discount due to who I work for. Looking forward to the 8th, as I believe those who pre ordered get them 3 days early.

I've changed phones more often than usual these 2 past years, but as of the time of ordering the S7 Edge I'm using the G4. Absolutely amazing phone in almost every way, but the battery is lackluster at best. Went for the Edge mainly because of the 3600mah battery. Now I just need a couple of Qi 15w chargers as S7/E are supposed to support quicker wireless charging.
I'm still unsure if the camera will be an upgrade or downgrade from the G4 though, and I know I'll miss the IR-port.

I wouldn't mind getting the S7 Edge if it wasn't for the larger screen. Currently I have the S6 Edge and I think the size is just right. S7 Edge is just too big...

I'm going to order a s7 edge coming from a LG v10
Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk

Going to pre-order the S7E and coming from my N6.
EDIT: Anddddd... Ordered! (Black Onyx)

I will go S7 Edge from my Note 3 I kind of not like the Edge at all, but it's battery capacity and bigger screen make's up for it. I would just love to have the same spec in a Note 5 body instead!

currently have the s6 edge plus and waiting for the s7 edge plus

Will order it very soon.

Have an S6 Edge and i love it but want a slightly bigger screen and battery life so S7 Edge will be perfect.

Pre ordered the S7 Edge coming from a Nexus 6P. The 6P is an amazing phone, snappy, beautiful panel and backed by a sea of development. It gets a little dull tho, after a while. So i want to try out a Samsung.
Really hoping to see some activity in the development forum! Even for the Exynos model.

From note 2
Will have s7edge+ ?
How cost? For edge+ 1000 usd?

Already pre-ordered!!! Coming from iPhone 6S Plus (buy it, was my worst mistake)... Can´t wait

I was considering buying it, however it hasn't even been a full year since I have had my s6 edge. I may just wait until the next big thing. Because you know it gets better and better every year

Coming from a Nexus 5x, it really has gone downhill at this point, lags like crazy now. Moving down from 5.5" screen was more difficult than I thought as I found it difficult to type so it's back to a 5.5" screen. I just got a new GMC Yukon which has a wireless charging pad built in and will look forward to that feature as well.

I'm coming from a Note 4. Already pre-ordered and really looking forward to trying out the camera looks amazing from what videos I've seen.

Samsung S7 edge

Planning to buy Samsung S7 edge, how is it? need some suggestions before buying.

I just bought S7 Edge today coming from Note 4 N910C and I can say it is really a very good phone. Worth the upgrade

Depends on your current phone but honestly is the best phone I've had the chance to play with. Nothing to complain about here!

What kind of suggestions do you need?
I think it's a great phone. The only other phones I'd consider right now are the htc 10 and the Nexus 6p. I consider the S7 Edge, for my needs and wants, to be better than either. Your needs and wants may be different.
One suggestion: get a case. I've never used cases before, but the S7 is very slippery, and very fragile. I'm using a thin, clear TPU case just to provide better grip, and at least a little protection.

I think this smartphone has everything that you need in a smartphone. Firstly the design of S7 Edge gives you the slimmest feel in your hand without trading off the extra large screen size. Secondly, it's water resistant up to 30 minutes in a depth of 1.5 meters or below. So, I personally suggest you to go for Samsung Edge S7 which happens to be the Best smartphone in 2016

Haha, it's good to see you here again, I upgraded to the edge as well. I worked with you on N4 MM twrp backup if you remember. Anyway, I agree, it is definely worth the upgrade, even though I kinda miss spen.

Best phone out right now. Ditched iphone 6 plus.

Should i upgrade from Note 5?

I have samsung galaxy note 5.
Where i live i can buy s7 edge and get FREE 128GB SD Card as a Gift. My note 5 with 32 GB Lives with me even with So many games stored and i do not take all that much videos how ever i could live with a bit extra stotage. I am big addict to s pen but maybe i can live without it.
So should I upgrade to the s7 edge? With 128 gb sd card gift? Or just stay with note 5 and wait for noughat.
I am also very worried about the edge screen and how it would affect my gaming experience and missing the s pen

Well we are in the international S7 Edge forum and here everyone
has a S7 flat or S7 Edge phone with either a single sim G935F/G930F
or a dual sim G935FD/G930FD phone.
Just like the international S7 variants here, the international S8 variants
will also come in both single and dual sim models.
The phone is easy to hold, a lot more comfortable than the S6 Edge+
which I had before getting this S7 Edge which I have now.
The S8 will come in two sizes, S8 will be 5.5inch screen and the S8 Edge will
be 5.7inch screen but both of those phones will be almost identical in body size
due to the fact that the S8 Edge will have close to a 90% screen to body ratio.
Good luck, have a great evening.

The offer is just too compelling thats the case.
I never had an edge screen phone. Coming from note 5 And the note 5 is considerably small for me will s7 edge bother me?

I doubt it since both sides of the phone are glass with smoothly curved edges held together by a polished smooth chrome plated frame.

S8 Plus vs S7 Edge size difference. (Pics)

Quick pic of my S7 Edge in my just delivered Spigen S8 Plus case. My S7 Edge Spigen case is to the left of it.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=71687492
S7 Edge sitting on the S8+
Same width but a little longer and obviously more screen area

thanks for pics i steel feel like s7e to s8 is the way to go... let me upload another example of a case.. ringke fusion

There's a million size comparison images on google...why do we need a thread for this?

they had a demo model of the s8 and s8 plus in my local phone store, the s8 + its about half a cm taller than the s7 edge

How does it feel in hand? I think I've held the S7 edge and that felt like a nice size - given that the S8+ is the same width I feel like that would be a reason to change from my S8 (albeit £90 for a marginal bit of extra screen and battery is difficult to reconcile).
PS - what store - I might head to Samsung on Oxford St. if they have it.

feels brilliant and looks amazing! being slightly taller yr thumb invariably has to reach further up so there is an element of having to slide the phone downwards in yr palm to get yr thumb to the top. the screen just dominates!
they had both @ the three store in chiswick.
three are usually good with having live demo phones generally in even their small stores (unlike vodafone who i am with). So maybe pop into a local three store. o2 had one on show too a few doors up.
the small size looks good and yeas £90 is a hefty price between the two.

Just an update for those who might find it useful - I went in to the Samsung store and spent an hour with both devices (I wanted to leave with a clear decision of S8 or S8+).
I have 'normal' (!) sized hands I guess and I found the S8 to be a perfect size - easy to get across the device. The S8+ I had problems reaching the other side of the keyboard - this is my key decision maker test; can I text easily (using swipe) - on the S8+ when trying to reach across I was hitting the bottom corner keys with my palm.
So I went with the S8 right... wrong! I actually have both now on order - unfortunately I'll get my S8+ late. But it gives me a little more time to decide.
Why I think I will stick with the S8+ is because I enjoyed the screen increase from my S3 to my Axon 7. The S8 feels lovely but I think the screen running things in normal 16:9 proportion feels like I'm getting less.
The S8+ felt a bit big but I think as I don't have a tablet device I would soon yearn for a bigger screen. Decisions, decisions!
Hope that helps people on the fence with some more things to think about.
As a side - I don't feel the fingerprint sensor is that much of a pain. Easily accessible on the S8 but I do have to adjust my hand position on the S8+.
Worth noting that I tried the devices without any of the security casing on them. Just not back to back.

I handled a live S8 and S8+ today. Let me tell you, the S8+ is humongously big. There is no way I am replacing my S7 Edge with the S8+, maybe with the S8 (which is actually very close in size with the S7 Edge) but then I would lose a lot of battery size which really bugs me. So right now I don't know what to do...I think I will stay with my S7 Edge for a bit more, maybe I can find a non-Samsung alternative.

I tried both also and found that I never use my phone 1 handed because i use both hands to text and everything else. The S8+ was a winner for me
