Samsung Galaxy S7 Launch

[BrenD]

I'll give it 6 months before you're begging HTC to take you back

Nah!

Now that Samsung have sorted their build quality, I don't think I'll be going back. A shame as I loved my Desire and M8. Heck, I even loved my One X despite it being a temperamental little sod that only worked when it wanted to and was allergic to 3g.

For me amoled screens are the best

[decoy]

I started off on xda(htc when they 1st came out)nothing was like them at the time but the charge ports have always been erm poo so I swapped to nokia n 95
had it 2 weeks before I forcibly gave it back because it way useless (the software was pants)
htc was my next one and yep the charging port went
enter the mighty Samsung note what a jump forward I loved it,it did what it was supposed to
then the note 3 which was just as loved but nothing spesh as in jump in tech just a bit faster with 3 gig of ram and a prettier screen
I really wanted the note 5 but it wasn't going to be released in uk humph so I got the s6 edge pluss 64 gig

I use phones for watching films,music,games and internet and the edge screen is rather nice (tron in 4k is lush)
but they have stopped a few thing working that used to on the note 3, my main gripe is a portable hard drive ive got.It works fine on the note 3 and I have 300 gig of tunes on it but when I plug in the s6 edge nada nothing ziparoney so just be aware they are being sneaky about storage

Still run a Note 2 on sim only deal. Always lusted after a note phone but could never afford one. Bought this last year at a bargain price and it was totally unmarked (has been in a case since, with a tempered glass screen protector). Maybe one day I'll upgrade to a 4 but for now this does the job and I love it.

I had the note 2 way back when. Amazing phone. I then changed to LG. Worst thing I ever did. Awful phone the G3. Can't wait to get rid of it.

I went from HTC (Desire S) to Samsung (S3) then back to HTC (Desire eye), this new Sammy would have to be VERY good to get me to return. HTC rule

The leaks of the HTC M10 are out. Looks nice but will it be as good as it looks. They seem to be concentrating on the VR side of things.

I'm in love!

I picked mine up yesterday (damn you parcel force!!) and its really something else. I love the gear vr headset too, some of the videos on there are breath taking.

That's surprised me
I always thought LG had a good fone there but I went for the note4 instead

CC has a Note 4. Wish I picked that now lol. Such a nice phone. That is why I can't wait for the Note 6

I watched a short 4k video last night and it blew my mind. Amazing compared to what my previous phones could handle. I probably won't get to play with the Gear VR until the weekend, but I can't wait!

I have to say, i was really impressed by gear vr, its much better than cardboard. the only thing is the resolution is not high enough and it cam make things look a bit blocky.

....and all I want .....



.....is my fossilized sony hifi's cd player to work


....I'll get my coat!

[BrenD]

The whole fingerprint scanner thing is taking some getting used to. Six years plus of using the same unlock pattern is hard to override and I keep forgetting that I don't need to use it most of the time.

But that's the biggest complaint I have and it's down to me being slow and not the phone. I'm still in love.

It's good to hear you're happy BrenD
It certainly looks a lovely fone.
Do you find it a little slippy in hand due to the shiny metal?
Personally I always use a case on my fones and that helps me
