I had hands on time with S7 Edge any questions?

I really really hope they keep multicolor led and ir blaster?

Are we sure about the 5.7" screen? That could be a deal breaker for me. I've always thought my wife's Note 2 was too big. I was feeling that 5.5 was the perfect size. Not happy with 5.7.

The screen to body ratio it feels almost like a s6. It is slightly bigger

No idea on led. But Ir blaster is not there

Annoying about no IR blaster.

I work in EMS and being able to control the TV at all the ED's in town is so convenient. However I know that it's not as popular as it once was. Hell, all my friends that have the S5 and Note 4 didn't even know they had it.

S6 had it too. Thinking of picking up a s6 refurb. Nothing in new model appeals to me as much as loss of ir blaster. I have one in gear 2 but the software only allows 1 tv at a time and has very limited options. On Off volu and channel are about it.

Can't you use bluetooth instead to control a tv if the tv has that feature?

 

[recDNA]

No. I control random tvs in restaurants and bars i visit. They often don't mind if I ask. One place has a tv at every table but all different brands of tv. They don't have all the remotes. I also control an ac I lost the remote for and when wife has remote at home i use phone. Many many uses for ir blaster. I also use it at work to control several different presentation projectors.

In that one hour you spent with it, does it feel like a worthy upgrade? Yes or no?

The phone feels solid. It's definitely a upgrade. I think for me, the battery life is a significant difference. S7 edge will have note like battery.


Camera is best on the market.

Has a sd card slot.

Water resistance.

Better battery life.

More premium feel.

If those appeal to you it's a worthy upgrade

Does Touchwiz feel any lighter? Were you able to test the speakers?

Speakers were decent. Slightly better than the s6.
Touch wiz is better but I'm not a fan of the white motivation toggles.

Neither of the S7 have usb c even tho it is a convenient. No single manufacturer actually takes advantage of the data to transfer speeds or the charging type c is known for. Plus makes it easier for gear Vr use.

The device is not 5.7 in it is 5.5in

Multi color led yes and IR no. Most tvs have smart apps now or apps for cable providers or game consoles.

When you say it feels heavier does that mean it's thicker?

 

[PowrDroid]

Does it have wireless charging?

Tell us about the fingerprint scanner.

 

[AlphaWlf6]

Does have wireless charging. Both standards. Fingerprint scanner is a bit larger however alot faster. And the device is a little bit thicker but a lot less camera bump. And the curved back makes it feel better in hand.

It's slightly thicker but it feels way more dense. It's like they jam packed the whole device and there is no empty space on the inside.
