Received my S7 Edge today (dunno how), unboxing and questions

Have you tried bluetooth headset?
Can you get it to automatically read your text messages out loud.
Does it have SVoice?

Here is a guy who has been reviewing the S7 Edge battery life for a while. Its in Italian but you can see his results pretty clearly via the screenshots. One test had over 16hrs on battery, 5hrs of SoT, 2+hrs of talk time and had about 11% left if I recall. That'll do for me and then some!

No its not if you want to use 3rd party apps (like me).

I believe they said during the keynote that they made the APIs public so developers can work on taking advantage of edge features, I was hoping that would extend to the always on display as well.

Hopefully. Another question is will developers support them
 
I wonder if the same limitations are on the G5 as well. I imagine from a dev point if view that there needs to be a critical mass of people wanting/using a feature to make it worthwhile to include it. If always on displays become the next big trend that will only help the user, regardless of the device
 
I think G5 always on display will show notifications from all the apps...

Samsung should have done it the same way as Motorola has done, justa a notification system listener.
 
Agreed. Hopefully as they monitor early responses, they'll include notifications in an update.

I do agree! I'm fine with my battery life really. As long as it gets me through the day comfortably I'm happy.

I hardly used the edge features on my S6 Edge, so any improvement is welcomed.
 
So I got my Galaxy S7 Edge today. Yes, it's the real deal. I don't know what my local carrier has done (mistake or special deal) but I received an email yesterday that my parcel was shipped. And today it was ready for pickup from our parcel point. I live in Finland and we dont really get the devices here first ever, so this is somewhat really really special case here.

So I did a little unboxing video :

Sorry for the little low quality, my camera was acting up for some reason.

I am also happy to answer all questions you have. Still haven't had a much time with the new beast.
I wish the U.S. (Verizon) would ship early but they're probably putting their crap on my phone.
