I know people are going to respond to this post with >TOUCHWIZZ >GOOD LOL but as a Galaxy S7 owner who absofuckinglutely hated Touchwiz on the Note 4 I had before, anybody who says that it's THAT BAD these days have clearly not used it and are just parroting the LE TOUCHWIZ XD meme, so they can fit in better.

Actually go find a display phone to use you faggots, it's actually not that bad now. It has a lot of useful features (to the point where Android N will actually be including several features that originate from touchwiz) and you can't even call it ugly because of the theme engine anymore. Any phone from 2016 (hell, 2015) won't be slowed down by Touchwiz. I actually put my S7 and Nexus 5X next to eachother, tested side by side by launching the same apps on both, and the S7 beat it every single time.

S7 is every bit as fluid as any Nexus.

Stop the presses.

Touchjizz still is crappy, but Samsung has just thrown a bunch of hardware at it to make it run in a respectable fashion. S7 would probably get twice as good battery life if the hardware didn't have to run that dog shit.
>>
No USB Type-C
>>
I guess this might be a general S7 thread so maybe one of you fine anons can help me out.

So I threw some music onto my S7, same music that was on my previous Z3V. I'm doing trying to bluetooth it to my car but there seems to be a problem with the Metadata or cache or something and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it.

The songs will play but none of the information will display on my car dash like it would for my old phone. I've tried force stopping and that worked briefly but now it's still showing NO TITLE, NO ARTIST. Sometimes when it does decide to work it'll show the same song info for every song playing. I've also tried opening up the boot menu and clearing the cache but nothing.

My car is '13 Honda Accord if that matters

You can buy a brand new unlocked s7 for around 700$ on eBay. According to XDA and Android Police: http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/03/11/deal-alert-unlocked-international-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-on-sale-for-699-99-via-ebay/
>>
Rooting it means you won't be able to use GearVR any more
>>
As an S7 edge owner for a week I can officially say the only issue plaguing this device is touchwizz. It has gotten a magnitude better then what we've seen in Jellybean, KitKat, and Lollipop-- with each iteration becoming less and less bloated.
However, its still there, and is without a doubt uglier and clunkier then stock android.

There is LITERALLY nothing else wrong with this phone. The camera especially is ridiculously fucking good. Shutter speed, auto focus, image stabilization, and low light performance better then any other phone on the market by scientific measurements. The screen has the best contrast ratio and deepest blacks available on any smartphone. The processor scores only 200 points lower then the iPhone 6S on single core performance, and 1000 points higher on multi-core. The IP 68 rating allows me to text in the fucking shower without the water damaging or even interfering-with my touches on the device.

Also, all the colors look sleek as fuck. Silver titanium/gold/black all look extremely fashionable even if they are fingerprint magnets.

The LG G5 is going to have a hell of a hard time comparing.
>>
>>53490771
Also the 3600 mAh battery on the S7 edge is crazy good. Bets battery life I have ever witnessed right out of the box with no tweaks.

Found the always on display used very little power and was really nice to glance at to see the time in the middle of the night or in the middle of working.

>>53486030
It's huge. It's full of bloat. TouchJizz. You won't get any updates in couple years. It's overpriced for what it offers (goes for every smartphone though.)

What the fuck actually happened, Galaxy S2 or S3 started at 400-500 bucks respectively, not super cheap but somehow justifiably. 700-800 for a phone is crazy, it buys you almost a decent laptop.

>it's full of bloat
Every android phone besides the nexus series is bloated. This is bad, but can be bypassed with custom ROMs.

>Touchwizz
Yeah. It is getting better, but still bad. I agree with you here.

>You won't get any updates in a couple of years
Literally applicable to 90% of android phones and can be bypassed with ROMs.

>It's overpriced for what it offers
So are all other mainstream flagships by Apple, HTC, and LG. It would be nice if they are cheaper, especially because they are overpriced, but they just arent. People accept the $700+ prices from Apple, Samsung, HTC, and LG so why would they change?

That's bullshit, there couple of smaller phones, even if we ignore iPhones. Sony as the most prominent example.

Doesn't change anything about the huge downside, does it? It'd be nice just to buy a phone and have it usable almost right away, not having to void your warranty and waste time cleaning it up.

>Literally applicable to 90% of android phones and can be bypassed with ROMs.
Hence 90% of Android phones have a huge flaw.

>So are all other mainstream flagships by Apple, HTC, and LG.
Sure but it's still a flaw after all, besides, there are cheaper phones from China, with their own set of flaws. Every phone is but this isn't the topic.

>That's bullshit, there couple of smaller phones, even if we ignore iPhones. Sony as the most prominent example.
Legitimately curious about how many phones you can list from 2015 that have screen sizes below 5". Not trying to attack you, I actually really want to know. I know Sony has their Xperia compacts, but what else?

As for everything else you say, I agree that those are issues plaguing the entire android flagship market. I guess I just stupidly interpreted these posts as simply focusing on and singling out Samsung for things so many other companies are doing. The entire industry is at fault for these flaws.

Galaxy Mini of your choice, Alpha is 4'7" too (though it might be from 2014) HTC mini and uhh ... tons of the cheaper models.

Though yeah, small Android phones with flagship hardware are pretty hard to find and prolly applies only to Alpha and Xperia Compact.

Also if we're being extra anal about it, I recall S4 being relatively small. Sure the screen was 5" too but due the small bezels it was about the size of some 4'7" phones.

You say it's backwards, but Samsung sells morehpnes than anyone else by a huge margin. For most people, Samsungs way is right, and every other oems way is wrong.

So is it still backwards, or do we have people here who think anything and everything Google shits out is right?
>>
>>53487976
Because it wouldn't sell, and no one wants it.

To be fair, touchwiz is the only skin I can stand, so it's pretty good in my opinion. Stock is just missing far too many features at the moment to be useful.
>>
>>53505077
>it werks if your time is worthless
loonix everyone
>>
>>53488256
You would think so, but nope. Stock gets terrible battery life. Oems actually pit in a lot of effort to make sure that the OS isn't wasting too much battery. So as crappy as you thinff it is, touchwiz isn't negatively affecting battery life. On the contrary, it's actually improving it.

They did this, with the S4 Google Play Edition, and never updated its software.

The HTC M8 GPE was released at around the same time, and has had Marshmallow for months now. Hell, it's still getting monthly security updates.

I'll never trust Samsung with software, no matter how good the HW is.

can only buy carrier locked, filled with bloat, touchwiz still looks ugly and doesn't work as well as stock, non-unlockable bootloader, no front facing speaker, front mounted fingerprint reader, camera oversharpens too much, back button is on the wrong side. do I need to keep going, or do you get the point?

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-edge_id9818

you cannot make a curved LCD screen, it's AMOLED, the discoloration happens at extreme angles where it "rainbows" out, usually around 175degrees, only reason it's accentuated is because the edges create a non-zero viewing angle regardless of angle. pls stop being an uneducated shitlord.

GPU profile, you can enable it in dev options. The green line is 60 fps threshold, anything above it is lag.

Serious question.. Why do normies pay $800 for these phones, with amazing specs, yet only use them for facebook, twitter, and instagram?

THey have powerful phones capable of emulating tons of shit, or running intensive processes.. but they use apps that any smartphone can easily do?

What's the best phone coming out with a (probably) unlocked bootloader?
>>
is it true that S6/Note 5 onwards, touchwiz can be themed to look like stock?

Also does the fingerprint reader still need a swipe, or can you just put your finger on it?
>>
>>53511291
X performance(should be easily unlockable, like in virtually every big sony phone before). Maybe mi5 but I heard they're locking the bootloader this time.
>>
>>53486131
You're lucky that's the only problem you've had with it. Mine after 14 months started randomly turning itself off and getting stuck in a boot loop. The rep at Samsung I spoke to said that was becoming a known problem with them because of the first gen fast charging killing the hardware. Upgraded to a LG v10 and fucking love it so far.
>>
>>53486030
>That dock with 4 big ass icons
I mean, you literally have a super HD extreme Retina infinite pixels screen and you put those 4 shitty comically big icons on it?

Its fucking ugly. It should fit at least 5 or 6 smaller icons.

God fuck touchwizz is ugly and unusable.

Yes, there are Samsung themes you can download. Some look exactly like stock. Beyond that you can download Google Now launcher if you want.

Huh, just checked, g4 actually got pretty good. I must have confused something.

>>53511527
Such promise and such failure to deliver.
>>
>>53511691
It's the principle. I should be able to leave my phone screen or computer monitor on the same image at full brightness (like a stock chart, or other mostly static image) for 5 hours without suffering burn-in that will exacerbate itself every-time I view another, similar image for an extended period.
>>
>>53511733
I'll take the superior screen given I don't stare at the same image for days at a time.
>>
>>53486030
ugly. seriously just not aesthetically pleasing at all. seriously, how much of a pleb can you be to think this phone looks good by any means? samsung's design language inherently sucks ass.

>>53511662
sounds like bullshit to me. and LCD sucks next to AMOLED. I guess LCD screens look so boring that you can't help but to see yourself in them so no wonder you like them.
>>
>>53511247
See the thing is I actually don't like stock AOSP. Favorite skin is sense because it brings features I like and I think it looks good.

I watched the trailer - I also don't live in USA so 90% of features that people use there are not supported or irrelevant here.

Also it looks like a phone from posers for posers.
