Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Factory Unlocked Phone 32 GB - International Version G935F- Platinum Gold

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2016

I received this phone yesterday and instantly fell in love with it. I have owned several Galaxy phones (s3, s4, s4 active, and s5). So far I love it! It came sealed in the original box. I cannot use the charger adapter that came with it, but I expected that as it's an international version.
I picked the gold color, it looks and feels elegant and sleek. I love the interface, the phone itself is super fast. The phone has a big, beautifully bright screen. I am still getting used to its size. The fingerprint scanner is noticeably better than that of the gs5. Both cameras take amazing pictures.
I am one of those people that are constantly on their phones during most of the day. It has an excellent battery life and charges very fast.
I did read a couple reviews where people complained about the phone slipping out of their hands. I have used an Otterbox Symmetry Series case since I took it out of the box and have not had that problem at all.
My only complaint about this phone is that it does not have an IR blaster, but I can live with that.
I will update my review in the future if anything changes.

UPDATE:
I have been using this phone for about a month now and it is still just as amazing as when I took it out of the box. It still has amazing battery life. I have a Pocket Juice power bank that I was using around noon every day with my Gs5 but I have not used it at all with this phone. It usually still has 15% after about 12 hours of use.
I have not had any lagging or random restarts like I did with my Gs5. The phone is still amazingly fast and responsive.
I have slightly tested the waterproofing of this phone. The fingerprint scanner does not work well when wet, but the touch screen is still responsive.
I have a Otterbox Symmetry Series case that I use with this phone and I have noticed that it causes the Zagg Dry screen protector to bubble up around the edges (I would like to state that I did NOT allow the protector 24 hours to "cure" after applying before putting the case back on, so that could be the reason.) I have heard that with the edges it is hard to find a case/screen protector combination that doesn't cause bubbling at the edges.
Overall I would definitely recommend this phone.

I have been using this phone for three days now. I was impressed that the phone was delivered sooner than expected. The box was sealed and everything was intact. My only problem is that this phone came with a plug you use in Europe and where I live we use the plugs used in the US. Not a big problem since I can charge the phone with other chargers. I bought the international version since I read that the Exynos chip is better than Snapdragon. I previously used a Samsung S3 which recently died and it wasn't a difficult transition. I also have a P8 Lite which in my opinion takes better selfies. I'd still buy the S7 edge again though. The phone is very fast. Battery life is exceptional. I have only charged it once so far and it still has 52% of battery life left! I also love that the phone is very loud. The phone fits easily in my small hands and is pretty light. I also love being able to unlock the phone with my fingerprint. I also love that the speaker is very loud. For someone who's hard of hearing like me that is a plus!

Just terrible experience with Samsung, but excellent one with Amazon, which reimbursed in full 6 month after purchase

Just terrible experience with this. In a couple of months USB slot stopped working, so I could only charge it wirelessly. Then the device started warming up sometimes to a point it was difficult to hold it in your hand, and then going into restart cycles. I contacted the seller and was told they only provide 30 days return policy, which is reasonable. What I was shocked about is when I contacted Samsung support I was told they can't help me with an international version and I have to contact the seller. They basically refused to be liable for the product they manufactured. I had to buy another phone and have a useless piece of technology worth $600 at home, don't know what to do with it. Will probably have to throw it away eventually. The repair shops say to get to the USB slot they have to remove the screen which according to Samsung manual can't be removed without damaging it, so they give me 50/50 chance they can remove it without cracking. But since now it's completely unusable may be I could give it a try.

Update: After a short chat with Amazon six months after I purchased this item, I was reimbursed in full. Reimbursement was provided by Amazon, which in fact had little to do with this situation, since it was an independent seller and initially there were clear warnings it was an international version without warranty. 8 stars to Amazon and 0 to Samsung, which gives 4 on the average..

Great Phone!

The phone is fast, amazing screen and looks great! Huge improvement on my old Samsung S5.
Bought to use in Brazil and have not tried yet locally as needs Nano chip and I have a Micro Chip.
For the record I bought from Wireless Everything, arrived in 2 days, phone new and works fine!
Edit 1 - Finally got Nano chip today, connected and works fine in Brazil. Phone shows LTE symbol now instead of old 4G symbol I used to get on my Samsung S5. Let phone fully discharge and connected charger and showed flashing red light and wouldnt turn on. Looked up problem on internet and had to hold on button and volume, turned on and no issues. Will update this review at a later date as lots of people seem to report that their phone breaks after a few months...

If your phone displays 4g and not LTE (which means the same thing) you might experience really slow data in the us.

I purchased this phone twice from 2 different sellers. The first time I purchased it from BREED. Within 3 months I had cracked both the front and the back glass. I contacted Amazon and I sent it back for a refund but they deducted $150 out of the refund because it was damaged. So I ended up putting the money together and purchasing a new one, this time from Wireless Everything. It was $100 cheaper the time that I bought it again so I was happy. I'm not sure if every seller has a different model of the international S7 edge, but when I got my first model, it displayed LTE at the top. I had no problems with Speed whatsoever. Now the second one that I purchased I was still in good condition. but this one says 4G at the top and even though it's connected to LTE network, I barely get LTE speeds. I'm lucky if I can surpass 5mbps Most of the time it never goes passed 1mbps. It's really frustrating when you pay for unlimited data every month and only get 2G speeds on 4G LTE Network. Rather I have full service or barely any service, the speeds still suck. I think I will be purchasing the s8 plus soon and it definitely will not be the international version. The first phone I purchased was running on Simple Mobile 4G LTE which runs on T-Mobiles towers. So whatever bands T-Mobile ises are the bands that Simple Mobile uses in my area. So my mother has MetroPCS and her speeds blew mine out of the water even though we were in the same area. I switched to MetroPCS thinking that I would get speeds like her but the are still horrible and they'll always be horrible until I get a new phone. Speed doesn't really seem too important when you're always using WiFi, but when you have to depend on you mobile data 24/7, you would like for it to be as fast as possible, not as slow as possible.

Sprint Phone, not unlocked

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2018

A lot of the review are negatives and recently a few good ones but very vague. I was hoping that the seller will do justice, but they proved me wrong. Similar with Aung, I bought the Gold s7 Edge and inside the box was a Sprint plastic film around the phone. After charging the phone, it booted up in English, and the chipset was Snapdragon not Exynos( the international version). The phone that contained the phone had the seal broken and scratched and had dents. The phone itself was full of smudges, fingerprints, and dirty scruffs around the home button. Overall it was not in good quality. I hope that the silver is the international version and Unlocked, please comment and tell me so. Fortunately, the return is 100% all money back and the shipping is not charged. I am disappointed in the quality received and the incorrect information displayed on the phone descriptions. Again, The gold color is a Sprint carrier phone. It is not unlocked.

I am in love with this phone

I was very skeptical of this phone after reading the reviews. I was considered that I would receive a fraud or I would gain a phone that was broken beyond repair. However, I am in love with this phone. It works just as I expected it to. The only downside is, due to me being a US citizen, I had to change a lot dealing with the huge time change. I manually went in to fix the time both to what my time currently was and what my timezone was as the phone automatically defaulted to the Indonesian time zone. Overall, one app needed to be deleted but no real issues yet. My sims card did not fit as it was fitted for a s5 rather than the nano sim needed for this phone. However, I am going tomorrow to my service provider to replace the card. This phone is amazing.

Because of the promotion they presented it as a phone from another world with how good it was

Compre este teléfono a través de amazon. por causa de la promoción que lo presentaban como un teléfono de otro mundo con lo bueno que era. Pero cuando lo abrí me pareció una copia del modelo original, aparte de esto nos dio un poco de trabajo pesarla lo del teléfono anterior a este y luego que lo logre a eso de los 7 meses el teléfono comenzó a abrirse por el sobre calentamiento la tapa trasera, llame a samsung para reportarlo por el año de garantía y luego de darle la información lo primero que dijeron fue que no le aparecía en el sistema como le han dicho a muchos. Al fin que no pude lograr nada de ellos y he tenido 3 de la linea de samsung y en todas me ha pasado algo ahora estoy indeciso y no se por cual decidirme.En otras palabras lo lleve un técnico que arregla teléfonos y el me dijo que le había explotado la batería y por eso estaba así. Espero que otros corran con mejor suerte.

Buy this phone through amazon. Because of the promotion they presented it as a phone from another world with how good it was. But when I opened it I found a copy of the original model, apart from this it gave us a bit of work to weigh it from the previous phone to this one and then to achieve it at about 7 months the phone began to open up by over heating the lid Back, call samsung to report it for the warranty year and after giving the information the first thing they said was that it did not appear on the system as they have told many. At last I could not achieve anything of them and I have had 3 of the line of samsung and in all I have happened something I am undecided and I do not know why to decide me. In other words it takes a technician who arranges telephones and he told me that He had exploited the battery and so it was. I hope others run with better luck.

Exynos processor. ISOCELL camera sensor. No Carrier bloatware. Suspiciously missing the Galaxy S7 Edge logo on the back shown in the photo. Aida64 shows the correct info, though.

I've used the phone for over a week, now. I'm very happy with it. Still getting used to some aspects of the interface, but what it does, it does incredibly quickly. No lag in anything. Samsung has some nice features included. I love the health suite. I love the battery life.

Cons: the duplicate apps. I want the ability to remove the browser, email app, etc. Things that I don't use. Things that Google also includes. Can't uninstall those either, surprisingly. Also, the whole Edge thing... There aren't enough ways to customize it or the edge notifications which display with the always on display. Also, the built-in so to transfer app data from your old phone didn't work with my HTC One.
