Lol, did you just get a S7 Edge?

It's awesome, although I am running it in Power Saving just because of unreliable electricity situation we've had in our area this last month. With all the construction around Fourways some of us are now having issues with power AGAIN.
No had mine since release day...

Still doing good.

My s7e was a battery beast... My s8 plus falls a little short. But thats just me.

But to be honest wouldn't swop the s8 edge its so natural in hand and beautiful
Are you using it the n Power Saving Mode?
What sort of Screen On Time have you managed with it?

I think anything above 6hours SOT is good enough hey, I'm sure the S8+ can manage that easily.

I wonder how people on the regular S8 are coping though,I've heard that one is not so good.

I looked at the replacement price of a new S8 screen, and how much per month the cellphone providers wanted for this new fancy phone and said, no way. Fancy it may be, I saw one yesterday, but my S7 Edge is still chugging along nicely, thank you very much.

Vodacom Nougat update is live....if anyone is still waiting for it
Awesome. Thanks for the heads up. Have been neglecting the Edge ever since my S8+ arrived. Will dust it off and see what's new tomorrow.

I am currently running BTU Nougat on my S7E.
With Vodacom releasing Nougat, I want to flash back in order to use VoLTE (which is not active if you don't use Vodacom firmware.

Sammobile only lists Vodafone firmware.
Is it the same, or where can I find the Vodacom version?

EDIT: Ag stupid. Flash XFV 6 then receive OTA update for Nougat...

Yah, it takes a little while to update the Sammobile servers.

Also check Updato, the download there tends to be faster to.
