The looks are just awesome - I bought the gold version which wasn't really my first choice but was the only one in stock at that time and I'm too impatient to wait. However, once I received the phone, I was very pleasantly surpirsed by how nice it actually looks - very stylish.
The phone is snappy - there is no lag, no slowdown, something I used to notice quite a lot in previous Samsung phones, this was generally attributed to the Samsumg TouchWiz overlay on top of Android - the UI is still very much TouchWiz, but I guess the processor is so powerful now it easily handles the load.
The Edge features have been beefed up since S6 days, however ,I still find them gimicky and don't really use any.
The bad:
On day 2, the phone randomly started turning off, screen wouldn't come back on. At the same time, I kept getting "SD Card Present" notification.
I panicked and thought I had a bad phone, a bit of googling, and someone suggested deleting the cache (Power off, turn on with power, vol up and home button pressed, when Android logo appears, let go of power, navigate to Delete Cache) - Did that, the phone started behaving - temporary relief, next day, same behavior again.
Really started cursing my stars, more googling, there were suggestions the SD card slot had a hardware fault in the first batch, which was fixed in subsequent production runs. I downloaded a Samsung Hardware info app which indicated the phone was manufactured in Vietnam on 02/03/2016. This is too new to be an initial production run, so, I looked at the SD card itself, and found, it had corrupted. Plugged it into my laptop and tried to format it took about 2 hours and then failed at 80% complete. Plugged in another SD card (not new, old one, but formatted before inserting) and, every thing has been fine.
I had also bought a Joylink tempered glass screen protector from Amazon, and whereas it looked very nice and fitted perfectly, I found after a while the touch sensitivity would go bonkers. This could be on a/c of the Galaxy VRS case (also from Amazon) I had put on, possibly lifting the tempered glass protector at the edges during use. I actually had a similar experience with the S6 edge last year. I think a GhostArmor or Zagg screen protector would go better with the edge contours than a hard glass protector, specially if you plan to keep the phone in a case.

What is an unlocked phone?An unlocked phone is a device that is not bound to any carrier or plan. It allows you to choose your phone first and your carrier second. Upon selecting a plan, simply insert the carrier's SIM card into the phone and you're ready to go. If you decide you want to change carriers down the road or want to take an international trip, it's as simple as replacing your existing SIM card with a new SIM and activating your new plan. |
What are the benefits of an unlocked phone?Freedom: Choose the carrier with the best service or price. If you find a better deal later, you have the ability to change to a different carrier. Travel: Take your phone internationally and use the carrier of your choice. It's as easy as inserting an active SIM card. Selection: Choose the phone with the features you want, whether or not your carrier sells it, and get more service options without a contract. |
How do I set up my unlocked phone?The first thing you’ll need is a SIM card for your desired carrier. When activated, the SIM card will let your phone connect to your carrier’s network. If you decide to upgrade to a newer unlocked phone in the future, you can easily remove the SIM card from your old phone and put it in your new phone—just make sure you get the right size of SIM card (nano, micro, or standard) for your phone. If you want to use your phone while traveling internationally, you can easily buy a SIM card for a carrier that operates where you’re traveling. As long as it’s activated, you can just swap SIM cards when you arrive at your destination. |

Great phone, fragile screen
The phone worked great. I bought it from Amazon as the seller. I purchased a clear case here on Amazon too. The screen however does break easily, so get a really protective case for this phone. All performance aspects of phone were good, but it only lasted 3 weeks. I hope Samsung can repair it under their paid services. I will find out and report back. I'm in the USA and this is the international version, so we'll see if they will service it.Update 09/24/16 - I called Samsung and explained I want to pay to have the screen replaced, but the IMEI does not come up in their system and they won't touch it. I argued that a screen is a screen and I really want to pay whatever it cost to have it repaired. Samsung said no. If you buy a phone not from your country you may not be able to get any type of service.I called Amazon too in hopes of finding somewhere to send it for quality repair, but no luck there either. Guess I will have to try a mall kiosk.The worst part is the lack of service available from Samsung, especially their paid service. If I'm requesting paid service why do they turn me away?Update: I am sending the phone to a place that will replace only the outer glass. Won't be perfect but functional hopefully. Will post hoe it goes.Update 11/26/16: I had just the outer glass replaced by someone who sells this service on eBay for 150. The LCD and digitizer were not replaced, just the outer glass. It's not a perfect repair, but it's good enough. See the repaired pics.
