Would you recommend the Galaxy S7 Edge in late 2017 ? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hey guys im looking for a new phone that isn't harsh on the budget but still delivers (currently using Nexus 5x) and im deciding between the Galaxy S7 Edge and the HTC 10 , the S7 Edge is refurbished 300 pounds and the 10 is brand new 270 pounds . I would like to hear your opinions and is it worth buying , pretty much im looking for a better performance and battery life .

I'm using the s7 edge since 1,5 year. I had never better battery life, and the performance is still in the top of list I think. Before that I was a huge fan of hts one series.

I would definitely recommend. Even after using it for 18 months, i'm still so happy with this. I believe there are many like me.

What kind of screen on time do you get . Im getting max 3 hours screen on with a total time off charger 8 hours on the nexus , my usage is kinda heavy because i like to play games listen to music on spotify and chat , and did you encounter any issues . Also is it easy to root and tinker ?

Yes, exynos is a Samsung fabricate, so it's better more energy efficient. I think it has also a lil bit better performance.

Stock, disabled unnecessary stuff.

Thanks for the information guys i think ill buy it in a few days

Budgetise, it's a good decision.
I get 5 hours+ on 3g only and 5-7 hours if using on wifi. 5 hours is the bare minimum. I'm on Superman Rom 2.8, Notorious Kernel. Nougut. On stock, it's possible to get 4-5 (or more if you use wifi mostly)hours easily. I use custom rom for features and control. My average battery life is 12-18 hours

Do you have exynos or snapdragon?
Exynos is more energy efficient.

Is seller refurbished and pre-owned by a person basically the same? Because i found a pre-owned model that comes with the headphones , cables , otg and a wall plug thats european standard (which is what i use) and 18 month warranty. The refurbished one comes with a usb cable , sim tool and a micro fiber cloth and 12 month warranty. (The price is the same) Also the pre-owned has pictures and its in excellent condition , the refurbished claims that its in excellent but no pics.

There is no reason to ask which one you should choose.
Check the imei no.-s and look is everything in fine condition. A phone in almost perfect condition can also be refurbished, and when the refurbishing was unauthorised, the warranty is already lost.

Htc software is too bad that it's neither the well known Sense nor Google's AOSP. It is just some **** in between them.

I am using Superman Rom which will give you more control on your performance and optimizations.
My device is Exynos.

Definitely, the s7 edge, for the first i am very satisfied with my purchase.performance wise its ROCKS!!!
my brother has s8+ but not even once have i felt that his phone is better than mine or anything. infact with batman rom sometimes my phone outperforms his
i am not a heavy gamer i just play clash royale on it. my phone usually gets through the day with just 1 charge.
n also also that edge screen is a beauty.makes it stand out.

Excellent phone in the exynos variant. Great performance and battery in stock - even better when modded. On Superman 2.7 and Superstock Kernel 2.9, chuck in greenify and force doze and I can easily go 3 days on moderate use (I estimate 5-8 days based on rate of battery loss, but I'm never game enough to try). No performance sacrificed in my configuration too.
I would say better then the HTC 10 in every way (although that is a very good phone too ) Buy the G935F if you are interested in Customs ROMs etc. Better battery life than the S8, S8+ Note 8 with pretty much the same features - grab the S8 launcher if you want the swipe up to open app drawer. Get an S8 port if you want all of the features of S8 (although i reckon the additional features are kinda useless haha).

I gravitated toward the S7 Edge from your comments and after watching a battery life test video in which the S7 Edge lasted 4 more hours than the 10 and in a heat test in which the htc after 20 mins of real racing 3 got to 45 degrees and the S7 Edge was like a boss on 37 degrees.

I'd get an O2X, I've heard great things about it.
Battery life is very dependant on usage, aka the more the screen is on the less time it will last.
I get 14-16hours on a charge, but I do lots of reading via google reader and web browsing, and some gaming.
The SGS2 has some of the best hardware out, an unlocked bootloader, CM hopefully coming so its got a bright future on the community side, and it even seems like samsung might push out a 2.3.4 rom soonish.
Tegra has some small advantages, eg in games, but with Chainfire 3D you can play any tegra games.
YMMV etc.
ive had the gs2 for five days now..and ive gotta say...i LOVE it. right out the gate, the screen smacked me in the face like a flying dildo..simply stunning. the os too is buttery smooth. i have updated through kies once to kf3. my handset is sim free. all stock widgets etc remain. one problem i have is 'software update' and the hubs appear randomly...so i close them, they reappear...i have been.thinking about rooting it, but ive been conditioning the battery. . if i root i can't update through kies..
anyhow, i'm getting roughly 22 hours use, with moderate usage. which is ok. i recommend this phone wholeheartedly...its simply awesome.

Despite the less than stellar battery life, thisis my favorite gadget bar none .
The battery issue is said to be fixed with the new gb 2.3.4 .some also say that modded firmware helps solve this issue.
I'm still in unrooted stock fw and I have force stopped a wifi process . This seems to have stabilized battery usage somewhat. Still too early to tell.
But with battery issue or not, I can't see myself ever using another phone.
When I carry the sgs2 with me I feel like I'm carrying a part of the future- this is what mobile computing is.
If I didn't play around with my phone so much. ( and play so many gameloft games ) My SGS would last at least 2 days. At the end of a day, where I have sent some texts and called some friends, while playing almost an hour of games. I still have 40-50 battery left.
I can recommend this to anyone. (My mom just got the sensation... It's laggy, and bad battery. Standard HTC)

What is typical Galaxy Note 4 battery performance?

What is the typical battery life / performance for Galaxy Note 4 users on this board? And what is the typical life advertised by Samsung, and featured in reviews?
I get about 13-15 hours, with 3 hours screentime on my Korean Note 4 (sm-n910k). But I thought I'd seen reviews boasting near two day usage...six-ten hours screentime.
What is going on then for me? I am BITTERLY disappointed with battery performance: The attached screenshot shows my typical day. Is this normal for you too?
In this screenshot example no calls made during the day, no GPS usage, and almost no apps beyond Gmail and Twitter. I have just a handful of additional apps installed, but the phone does however appear loaded with bloatware.
I took the device to Samsung Service Center in Seoul on the weekend (for a second time) and showed them the problem. It drained 5% from 15 mins of screentime right in front of the engineer.
After resets and reboots engineer said this was normal and that all tests showed the phone to be normal.
Or is it only normal for the Korean variant, but NOT for the international variant?
Help much appreciated!
Mine from Korea too 910L
And I haven't use 3g that day, only play some heavy graphic game 45 minutes and use wifi
Sent from my SM-N910L using XDA Free mobile app
I got both the SM-N910K an the SM-N910C at home, mostly because at first my 910K did not want to enable 4G in my country no matter what (even though it was supposed to be supported) So when we got the local 910c i got one too. It turned out that after a firmware update, my 910K started working in LTE in Brazil normally, i dont know why. But what shocked me was the terrible battery life of the K in comparison to the C. SO i swapped their batteries to see if it was a battery issue but the C kept maintaining amazing battery life. So I rooted the K, replaced the rom with a custom N910S rom that i found online (it works just fine because they are identical) and begun deleting crap that i knew was unneeded because my C didn´t have it and while i am still running some tests it would seem that the battery life of the K has been improving. There are a ton of bundled crap inside the firmware, even the custom one...so hang on to your K, once a decent custom rom comes out of it, it will be a lot better. Mind you, i also compared them a bit and the screen on the K seems better than the C when it comes to color fidelity (the C is a bit warmer), and going thru benchmarks, the K always pulls ahead by a bit. It´s almost as if it was clocked a wee bit higher. Keep digging!
N910H with N910C SweetRom v2
12-15hrs autonomy, 5h30 to 6h of screen on time. 50% WiFi, 50% HSPA+.
Disappointed a bit because I expected an improvement over Note 3 and it's not the case at all.
OP, something is wrong there try a factory reset or a custom ROM. Root and install a wakelock detector to figure out what's happening
Thanks for the feedback. What are others getting in terms of time?
Especially interested in non korean models.

Nougat appreciation and battery replacement experience

I just wanted to share how happy i've been with the Nougat update and share my experience with battery replacement. This phone is 2 years old and man i still think this phone can hang in 2017. It's snappy enough for me. I was getting jealous of my sisters s7e with N running. Now that I have it on my s6 i feel like the phone is brand new. Im a happy camper. Also I wanted to share my experience with changing my battery. I bought a replacement battery of ebay and swapped it when i found out my old one was busting out the back cover (defective) and was dying minutes after fully charging. Just replacing the battery i got more use. SoT is 15 minutes shy of 5 hours compared to my before time of 3 hours. stanby with music and light usage is about 24 hour with 20 percent still left. All i do to try to keep the battery in good condition is never letting it run below 20 percent and using greenify. I don't know if Nougat helped battery life but my phone has felt brand new to me from just replacing battery and updating to N. Let me know your experience with battery and how you are liking Nougat. I just flashed to Nougat on Tmo so i might be late to party ive heard some have been running it for months now.

I ran stock unrooted nought since the ota came out here. I had no issues until I made that mistake of installing substratum for touchwiz roms. It worked fine for a little while until the themed apps got updated breaking them one by one. Since I was forced to wipe it anyway I rooted and installed golden eagle Rom which I'm really happy with so far. A lot of benefits over stock.
So far my battery hasn't had any issues and hopefully it won't for a while. I don't run it low or use quick charge if I can help it. The phone is almost 2 years old.
S6 is very bad Google pxl is the boss
If I could buy a Google pixel for anywhere near as cheap as the s6 I would. Your comment isn't very helpful. I personally find the s6 to be a really decent phone for it's age. Especially since I never liked any Samsung phones before this because I always found them to be cheaply made, laggy and buggy.

Don't feed the trolls. Let the mods handle them. BTT, nougat has been very good in terms of battery in my experience as well.

so do you just uncheck the fast charging option in the settings when you want to charge it and aren't in a hurry? is there study into fast charging causing battery to die out faster? sounds interesting
I haven't heard of any study but typically batteries in general like slow charging better. I leave it unchecked unless I want to charge it faster which happens maybe once a month for me. I charge it in the evening and usually have no problem getting through the day. I usually have a portable power pack with me just in case.

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Honor Note 10 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
The battery is great after 2 days still 49% and Sreen on 5 hours 38 minutes
Update:
I think you can leave that after almost 3 days

No Problems with the Chinese Rom.All Languages on it and the most China Apps can uninstall or deactivate.The Phone works fine,i am very happy with it.And there is no differenz without Lte Band 20 and H+ Internet Speed.With my wifes Phone with Band 20 is 18 Mbps und the Note 10 15 Mbps with same Network and same Tarif.

It will work in Europe with Lte,only Lte Band 20 (800MHz) is not on Board.On that Regions use Hspa.In all cities Lte works without problems with Band 3 and 7.

okay good to know. Thank you for the info!
i'm still not sure whether lack of band 20 is deal breaker for me. I live in a small city and B20 is very probably what's used here.
it's weird that the cheaper Max 3 has it and this beast doesn't
How are you satisfied in general? with camera and battery life? is the super night mode available on it? (the one that was advertised with p20 pro, if you know what i mean)

Hi,
Have the phone for some days now.
Love it and I think that everything about it is simply amazing... Except one thing : battery life.
The stand by drain is stellar. 100% after 6 hours. Can't be better. And that with Display always on turned on !!!
But as soon as display is active and some slightly more demanding apps are running, battery is melting like snowflakes in summer in Florida !
I'd say under these circumstances SoT will be about 9 or 10 hours... Which is what I'd expect from a 4k or 4k2 battery but not a 5000mAh...
It's not bad really, just a little disappointing ???
EDIT : I confirm that battery life is a real disappointment ! I think with medium use you can't get more than 7/8 hours SoT...
This is to be expected from a phone with 4k mAh battery but I hoped for at least 11 hours from a phone with 5k mAh battery
I guess this will not stay and will be replaced with something else probably a Xiaomi mi max 3 : less performance but people reporting up to 17 hours SoT !
And at least some development and living forum... This seems simply dead

I thought I am the only one with this issue...With auto brightness turned on, it's showing that the estimated battery life left is 2 days 20 hours left after a full charge...Also it's taking like 5+ hours to charge the battery to 100% using the stock charger & cable...I saw battery charging tests on YT & I saw people easily managing to fully charge it in about 1:50 hours so I don't know wth is happening in my handset...Mine is completely new, just a few days old...Can be a firmware issue too...I will wait for the next firmware update & see...
Hi,
Good luck...
As far as I am concerned, I have given up the Honor Note 10. Here are the reasons why :
- zero support from manufacturer... a firmware update every 3 months, but probably none anymore after the third or fourth update ;
- Honor's stupid policy about not allowing to unlock the phone ;
- the result : zero developer interest for this device ;
- dead XDA forum (last post except yours was like 52 hours ago) ;
- people in this channel only supporting EMUI and discouraging any attempt to install anything else on the device...
So I switched to the XCiaomi mi Max 3.
Of course, not the same powerhorse as it only has SD 636, but that is enough for my needs...
And easily unlocked ; Xiaomi releasing a new ROM (beta or stable) every week/month ; devs working to port LAOS to it ; nice people in the XDA forum...
So despite this all, if anyone is interested in buying a Honor Note 10 8/128, I'm selling it
Regards.

Make sure you do a factory reset & set the Pie from Scratch like a new phone...If you have installed it over Oreo without a factory reset, the performance may not be that smooth as some left-over files from Oreo may slow-down your system...Doing a factory reset will improve your battery run time...Mine did...
Before making factory reset, don't forget to do a full system backup using HiSuite...

I got the Supercharger in the box when I imported it from China but because of some Firmware issues, I was not getting the Supercharging speed...At first I thought maybe the charger is bad or slow but then I checked it & it was indeed a Supercharger with 5A...Then I thought maybe my Type C cable is bad...I kept trying & trying but was not being able to get SuperCharging out of it...I was also about the buy a spare SuperCharger but the last official 165 Oreo FW solved my issue automatically...Now my stock charger also completes the charge within 2 hours...And shows SuperCharging always, when I plug my phone to the stock charger...
Using the Ampere app from Playstore, I checked the charging amp & it still varies between 2800-3300 Amp though...I may buy the Spare SuperCharger later just to check if I can get 4000-4500+ Amp charging speed which atleast I should be getting from a 5A charger but since the current charger is doing it's job under 2 hours, I am not much bothered about buying another charger...Maybe later...

How is the exynos variant doing after a year of updates?

I jumped on the s10 plus bandwagon right away last year, and since im from germany had to do with the exynos variant. There were quite a few compromises back then. Battery life, standby, performance and camera quality were not up to par with the snapdragon variant. I had a few smartphones since then. Switched sides with the xs max and the 11 pro max, but since i cant quite cope with ios back to android i went. The Pixels are fine, the 4 XL is not that bad as everyone wants us to believe. I am using a 3a XL at the moment, and monthly updates are really something. But samsung came a long way in this regard.
I had a G9750 S10 plus (the snapdragon Hong Kong Variant), and was very fond of it! I really do regret selling it. I just may get the same model again. The S 20 will be too expensive, and i don't feel the need for the features. Even the 3aXL with its 670 Snapdragon is fast enough for me. I miss the samsung features (remappable bixby button was very handy).
The G9750 does not get updates in the same timely fashion as the exynos variant though. That bugs me a little. I won't root, but using adb is not a problem. Im using naptime to enforce doze, and standby time was instantly better on all of my android devices. Is this going to work on the exynos version as well? So much that i could negate the standby problem? How is the camera in the meantime? I don't need gcam. The G9750 took great pictures imho. Performance differences wont bother me, but having a good battery is a must. The 11 pro max was killer in this regard, as is the 3a XL.
I'll probably will get the G9750 again, but having no warranty over here is also something i have to take into consideration.
Or should i get the N9750 (the snapdragon Hong Kong version of the note 10 plus)?? Price difference would be about 150 €, and i would get more ram, faster storage and the s-pen. These really are first world problems...
The reason i m choosing the hong kong version is, that voice over lte and wifi calling work as intended with my provider here in germany (O2).
Thanks for any insight!
Let me shorten the question. For those of you using the exynos S10 since launch. Did it get better (standby, normal battery drain) or is it the same?

Thanks for the reply. Are you seeing bad standby drain, as reported by so many? I was using the exynos version for three months last year, and standby drain was noticable. I was getting through the day though. Oh well. I'll hang on to my 3a XL for a while and look at whats coming our way in the next few months.

No i lose about 6% over 9 hours, getting a solid 9 hours SOT with 20 hours standby. Even today i watched a 1hr downloaded video and 1 hr 40min stream from Netflix still managed 7hr SOT and 10hrs Standby, with some Facebook and game play.
Thanks again for the reply. Everyone talks about the pixel phones being the greatest and sure they are good, but there are so many things i miss. Bixby routines, the remapable bixby button, expandable storage, greater base storage. Logic dictates i wait for a few months until the 20 series drops in price or if it is even worth it.
My phone ia still great till now
Performance and battery
I only heard that the snapdragon version might take better pictures according to some people
