I previously had a Samsung phone so when I cracked the screen, first choice was another Samsung. I chose this phone and to tell you the truth the cheaper previous phone was better except for the camera. This one feels like a toy. You cant move icons with a drag. Hard to adjust the home screen.

"The S7 is a highly featured phone which is a dream to use. It was a breeze with the Samsung Smart Switch to transfer contacts and files from my old phone. It fits well and feels snug in the hand as well as the trouser pocket. The screen display is stunning and simple to customise.

Brilliant Screen; Easy to use

The rest of this season's top-shelf models will have a hard time competing with the Galaxy S7. It's another exceptional all-round performance from a Samsung flagship, which takes the best from the company's recent high-end phones and puts it all in a single device.

On many of the counts listed above - waterproofing, battery capacity, removable storage, screen quality - Samsung's S7 has scored notable victories over one of the highest-profile devices it will be competing with. At least until the iPhone 7 appears in the autumn of 2016...

The Galaxy S7 is powerful, stylish, feature-packed and very nearly essential if you're in the market for a new flagship.

+ Great design; + Brilliant screen; + Lots of power

- Similar to S6; - Interface won't suit everyone; - Few new features

Samsung's Galaxy S7 fixes the main problem of the excellent Galaxy S6, namely the lack of expandable storage, while tweaking other elements such as the gorgeous design to make them even better. The result is a very good flagship phone, although not quite perfect.

Brilliant screen; Gorgeous design; Expandable storage; Strong camera; Top performance

The Galaxy S7 is easily among the best phones Samsung has ever made, and absolutely among the top tier of what you should consider buying on the high-end market right now, the Galaxy S7 is nothing but a great choice all around.

Speaker on the body is pretty mediocre; Battery life is less than stellar; Insanely slippery; It's all glass; you don't want to drop it

The Samsung Galaxy S7, already Oh, it's very real and it's very fast. But most importantly, it takes the formula seen with the last generation, and instead of completely revamping, makes the necessary tweaks to give a better overall experience.

The best smartphone camera; It's gorgeous (and more ergonomic; Added RAM needed boost; Proof that great cameras can have bumps axed; Water resistance

Touchwiz still finicky at times; Lots of carrier crapware; A gallery for fingerprints
