Can't belive how little this thing weighs

So in all the reviews I have read, one thing hasn't been mentioned much: Weight. I brought my phone yesterday and when the store rep put it in my hand to enter my password, I was blown away. I had to pull out my original Moto X to confirm...yup...the older much smaller phone was in fact a lot heavier. Made me love the S7 even more. Having a bigger phone with a bigger screen and yet somehow managing to be lighter is amazing.

The S7 is 0.8 oz heavier than the moto x 2013 (which I have also). It must be a perception thing to you about how the weight is distributed or something. Need to compare without cases also.

No cases on either. And while I don't have a scale sensitive enough to measure that, I just grabbed them again....new phone still feels lighter. Whether real or some physical form of an optical illusion, I am still happy either way.

It's not really that light. I come from a tiny 6s and that felt way lighter

That's my point. For a relatively good sized phone, it's pretty light!
