7+ 128GB Matte Black here. Absolutely loving it! First smartphone using iPhone 4, then Note 2 LTE, iPhone 4S, Sony Z1, iPhone 6, iPhone SE, OnePlus 3..... 
Now, compared to previous owned iPhone 6 and SE, imo iPhone 7+ is another amazing iPhone yet. It is similar to the 6+ as mentioned before, but this add familiarity to the design and gives user some comfort with some additional design changes. Most changes I liked them.
- The display is now brighter and more vivid. I like IPS screens more than AMOLED. It is more natural and iPhone's calibration suits me best.
- The Plus series now has two 12MP camera, one wide, one tele, this opens up a lot of area to explorer for photography. I am amazed by the picture quality taken by the dual camera. Photos look more crisp and clear. Tele-photo looks great both when taken while standing still and on a moving bus! Videos continuing to look great with OIS tuning.
- It has two speakers, not just louder but provides a more immersive video watching/music listening/gaming experience.
- The battery for me is quite good. Low-moderate use, mostly messaging, some internet browsing + facebooking, some YouTube video watching, music listening with Spotify while on transit, some light gaming..... I got two days usage with 30% remain at 6pm on the second day!
- The 3D-touch function now has more action with iOS 10. It actually helps getting things done quicker, like switching apps via multitasking gesture, launch app with shortcuts. Even the home button now uses the haptic engine to provide accurate feedback that I like a lot! Now I don't need to afraid constantly thinking when the home button stop working while pressing it thousand times per day!
- And of course, the A10 Fusion CPU..... getting top-class performance on a smartphone is just amazing. The OS and apps now load faster while saving some battery life using high performance and battery saving cores configuration.
One disappointment however... the hissing issue. Imo it is ok to hiss since I can't hear it across the sofa, but video recordings captured the noise and it's even worst while the environment is near dead silence. Hope Apple eventually will sort it out, meanwhile, keep using it and don't want to deal with the exchange fiasco...
P.S. This photo was taken on a moving double-decker bus, 2x zoom, no editing
