The new Samsung S7 Edge has truly captured my attention. The more I read about it the more I'm both impressed and convinced I'll be pre-ordering on Mar 11th.

This is one smartphone that truly stands out this year. By acquiring one early I'll have the fun of the experience and be even more interested in what Apple does with the iPhone 7. I wonder what Apple's thinking at this point. Now that they too, have seen the S7 series and have inside knowledge of iPhone 7 it would be fun to know what they're thinking.

Time will tell, it's just a matter of months. I sure wouldn't buy an iPhone 6S series phone right now. They're too far off the mark. Apple trailing the competition is not good. Especially with their jumbo ego.

I bought my 6S in December. Now it would have been nice to wait and compare the 6S to the S7, but then the iPhone 7 will be coming in October. It is a vicious cycle and there is never a good time to buy. :D
 
They look good, especially the black ones. Anyway, happy with my 6s, don't have any need or interest in purchasing a new smartphone for a long while. Maybe around iPhone 8s and Galaxy 9.

Just get what you need...right? :)
 
MR should have put the LG G5 on the front page. That's the phone that actually made innovative improvements over the current state of smartphones.

Samsung made minor physical improvements and their software will always be garbage.
 
Erm, if the SIM uses the same slot as a SD card... does that mean both fit at the same time or one has to choose between storage or cellular service?

Getting worried huh?

I like Samsung's style, especially the screen to body ratio. But every time I've used a Galaxy, it lags due to the amount of pixels on screen. This was even the case with a Note 5, which really surprised me.
 
It's very encouraging to see how significant these new Samsung Galaxy models are. Both for Android lovers and as a challenge to Apple. It may be just the kick in the pants that it takes to wake Apple up.

Too late to change anything on iPhone 7, they'll be able to respond with the iPhone 7S.

In the mean time the delay will work in Samsung's favor. If they maximize the opportunity, it'll make the competition closer. A move that'll benefit everyone. Apple has proven that the moment they get comfortable, they become complacent and slack off.
 
Why is this news on an apple site? It almost looks there 's there's nothing else exciting to talk about for the iphones.

Anyways. It's one sexy phone. I'll buy it. take my money!

This is good sign for apple. They need to step up.

Competition is a good thing. It's great for the consumer.

One or the other.

Just kidding. The SIM tray is elongated to fit both the SIM and microSD at the same time.
 
You're right.
I'm surprised Mr. Cook hasn't already offered Shkreli $100 million in Apple shares to join the company!

Haha I can already see the dream team...
