Well kids….I did it. I jumped ship from the V20 and went into the S7 Edge (proud former N7 owner). I had two days left to return it under ‘buyers remorse’ and decided to do so….there were a few reasons why and I thought I would share them:
First and foremost for me was the camera. I hate to say this but the S7e’s camera is just FAR superior in low light. I actually really liked the quality of the camera on the V20 and the wide angle lens is REALLY a great feature, but in low light situations there is no comparison.
The display was another large factor for me. My best friend went into an S7e from her N7 and I remember that a few days ago I was looking at the display or hers next to my V20 and it was just no comparison. I don’t know what it is about Samsung’s displays but they always seem to be so much more brilliant and bright than any other phone. They are crisp and sharp and nothing just seems to compare…..
The battery in the V20 just wasn’t enough for me. I really really like that LG made it removable but that just wasn’t enough for me. I mean, I feel I had already overpaid for the V20 and then I would have to shell out another $50-70 for an OEM battery??? I have always gotten good batter life out of my Samsung’s and the S7e just seems to have more lasting power.
Now, the one place that I felt the LG blew away they S7e is with regard to the always on display. The V20 display is amazing and I LOVED how customizable it was. I loved being able to see notifications scroll across that screen and while I wasn’t totally crazy about the location of it (that being across the top of the phone) I thought it was FAR superior to the S7e’s limited always on display.
As far as build I feel that the S7e blows the V20 away. I got the silver version and I just love how it looks and how it feels in the hand. I just think it really looks like an $800 phone and while the LG is lovely (I loved having the button on the back of the phone VS the front as it made for a much more ‘slick’ looking device) I just didn’t feel like it was worth what I paid.
Lastly, I have to say that another HUGE factor for me was the fact that supposedly when the N8 comes out, there will be some sort of discount for those that went into an S7 or S7e. I can guarantee you that I will be3 jumping into an N8 as soon as I possibly can and that discount will be really nice (should they actually go through with it).
So there you go…..I have now officially had my hands on 6 phones in the last two month, N7, S7e (temp replacement), N7, On5 (temp phone), V20, S7e. I have to say that NONE even came close to comparing to the N7 and I REALLY am hoping that Samsung comes back strong with the N8 next year. I will be in line to get one!

Other than that I like to let it shine
