Samsung Galaxy S7

I find the fact that you can tap on the names under the quick settings icons to bring up a menu for that setting very useful.

Nice. Thanks

Some people like to just wing it.
On the other hand, a bit of Googling gets you this:

One good thing is the add a second language feature that adds South African English (most of us are using UK firmware).

At last I managed to find a nice case for my phone locally that doesn't add too much extra bulk to the phone. The Bodyglove Ghost case looks and fits very well.

Hopefully this case stays clear much longer before turning yellow.

Has anyone with Nougat installed, rooted or attempted to root their device?

I just realised, my S7 external speaker is to be replaced under normal warranty, not ADH, and Vodacom has a 2 year warranty, right? Therefore no major rush to sort it out in the first year which is coming to an end on the 15th of March...

No surprises here, Galaxy S7 Edge is amongst the best battery life phones around:

Even the new LG G6 falls behind the S7 Edge in Battery Life:

You mean on a non-vodacom network? I'm not sure, seems it might be device specific (the warranty period) on vodacom. I'm taking mine in tonight then, no point in taking a chance in waiting longer!

Well.. This one tells a different story, but we'll see.

Did they use an Exynos or Snapdragon S7 Edge? There's quite a large gap in terms of the Battery Performance between the 2, the Exynos does a lot better than the Snapdragon.

With that being Android Authority, I guess it's the Snapdragon, while GSMArena use the Exynos as it's sold in Internationally and not just select countries like the Snapdragon.

Anyone here desperate to upgrade?

I really mustn't. I won't forgive myself if I do. This is the last month of my S6 contract, and then I've promised myself I'm going prepaid until they bring out a phone that has true artificial intelligence built into it (Google Assistant is still a joke).

It is narrower. Get out the ruler and a piece of paper girlfriend.
Dimensions:
S8 = 140.1 x 72.2 x 7.3 mm (5.52 x 2.84 x 0.29 in)
S8+ = 152.4 x 78.5 x 7.9 mm (6.00 x 3.09 x 0.31 in)
S7 Edge = 150.9 x 72.6 x 7.7 mm (5.94 x 2.86 x 0.30 in)

Whups, Not narrower but wider.
