Is smart OIS digital or a combo or digital and non-digital?

The audio is a big issue for both this phone and the new LG. I would love the hear Jerry Hildenbrand's take on this or any other audiophile geek.
1) Can't buy unlocked straight from Samsung.
2) Samsung/carrier bloat. Disabling/removing isn't the same since I can't get that memory back to use.
3) Front Samsung branding (would've been gorgeous without it).
4) I hate glass backs ever since the Nexus 4.
5) I prefer larger displays, but the Edge bothers my eyes. This is why I'd wait for the Note.
6) RAM management still yet to be determined. Based on Samsung's history I'm not giving them the benefit of the doubt.
7) No removable battery ... I included this only cause they had it for so long, and you're asking for things that would pretty much make it perfect, so I'm being picky, lol.
8) Front facing speakers
9) battery ... 3000 mAh is about average these days. The display is smaller so it's certainly acceptable, but this should be the minimum size going forward IMO.
And I'm sure there will be more when people have some time with it. Personally I'm more interested in the Note 6, and hope to see at least a 3600 mAh battery.
The S7 looks like a great phone, and this list is just things that could've literally made it perfect. The only thing that would prevent me from actually considering it is display size ... We'll see about RAM management and that glass back really annoys me.
People who say you can't hear a difference between a HQ MP3 and a hit-bitrate lossless file really mean *THEY* can't hear a difference and they know everything.
The difference between 32 and 24 bit audio is probably something you won't hear until the tech behind how we listen gets better. I'm itching to find out just how well it sounds, and will talk about it once I've had a chance.
I'm not surprised. Since the S5, they've been making some seriously awesome displays.The display, according to DisplayMate, is the best on any smartphone.
I am considering replacing my Note Edge with an S7 Edge. The main reason I want to upgrade is the camera. My Note Edge has some weird issue where the camera app will periodically crash and I have to restart the phone, which is extremely frustrating. I was initially interested in the Note 5 but I use Edge panels more than the pen on my Note Edge. The S7 Edge camera sounds superior to the Note 5 and I like that the S7 Edge is water resistant. I wish the S7 Edge screen was a little larger. I also am not a fan of the glass back, which is too slippery and shows fingerprints. I tend not to use a case so I would get a textured skin for the back ASAP.
My other dilemma is where to buy the phone. Best Buy and Sam's Club are both offering preorder deals. I'm with AT&T and Verizon is offering a S7 Edge deal if I switch.

My guess is that it's slightly brighter and more color-accurate this time around?
I wish others did the same. Improve on other aspects of the display. Don't just increase the resolution to absurd levels.It improved in almost every metric except power efficiency. I think the max brightness is what will stand out most for this device.

Is the panel from Samsung? Because I know Samsung reserves the best for themselves.Huawei used a good AMOLED panel for the 6P, but it couldn't compete with the Note 5. They're just that far ahead of the game right now.
