I think it'll be one of those things that you won't really know how good the design is until you hold it. I went from an iPhone 6s+ to an s7e and thought the design was awesome, until I used it without a case (which I never do anyways) and noticed how slippery it was and how many false touches were registered on the edge of the screen. Not a deal breaker by any means, I still love the phone and would use a case regardless, but I didn't know until I held it. The lack of a physical button and the smaller bezels will probably take some adjusting to for me, but it's still a great looking phone.
