I used the s7 Edge for about 6 days as my main driver, coming from a 6s Plus. The battery, even with a larger capacity, doesn't last as long as the 6s Plus. Not even close, actually.
The hand feel of the s7 Edge is damn fine, though. Camera quality is fantastic. The screen is unmatched. Speed of app launch, and app switching is also comparable to the 6s Plus. At the end of the day, I have to demonstrate mobile apps as part of my job, and as a Mac user I have a more seamless experience mirroring my iPhone for webinars, so I returned the s7 Edge. I actually miss it, though. It feels amazing in the hand. Great size and ergonomics with a 5.5" screen and is much easier to navigate than the bulkier iPhone.
Tough to go wrong with either phone, they're both examples of amazing engineering.
I am done with iPhones as my daily driver for now. I traded in my iphone 6 for the Galaxy S7 Edge. I just recently picked up a 5S. It is currently docked using it as an iPod. I will return to iPhone once IOS gets a major update. For now it's just way too limited for my use.I have the S7 (non-edge version) on order to replace my iPhone 6. It was a tough call to switch, my last Android phone was the Galaxy S2 and I've been with iPhone since the iPhone 5. I'm otherwise all-in on Apple, with a 12" MacBook and iPad Air as my other primary devices. But I've been growing more and more bored with iOS and felt the need to mix things up for a bit. Maybe I'll be back with the 7S or 8, depending on where Apple and Google go.

Ha, you have gotten used to the smoothness and fluidity of an iPhone and that's not a bad thing. I loved it.
I thought android was a hot mess as well when I returned. It was a little overwhelming, BUT once you create your own personal setup I bet there will be less frustration and less mucking around you have to do it. You can't go wrong with either phone. They are both phenomenal. Enjoy whatever you decide to choose.
My battery drain problem was caused by me syncing default email every 15 minutes. I send all junk mail to this particular email. When it would sync, it would pull numerous emails.
I also had the 7edge for a week. Bought it the Sunday after it launched and returned it this past Sunday. Awesome phone couldn't really find a flaw with it except one. It wasn't my iPhone lol. I dunno there's just something about the iPhone that no matter what other phone I switch to I always come back.
Just curious as to how your experience with the S7 has been treating you? Still on board or moving back to your iPhone?
Hey, thanks for reaching out. Since our last conversation, I have since sold my iPhone. I kept my apple watch for just in case I want to comeback to ios with the 7plus or 7pro (whatever it will be called.) Im almost certain to return. But again S7 Edge is one helluva placeholder until I decide.
As for the experience, it's been great. Once I got over the initial shock of overwhelming features and the battery drain of android again I was fine. My battery has leveled out and my phone sleeps. I would consider the battery and standby on the iPhone better. There have been times where I miss the iPhone. Its so smooth, reliable, and lot less convoluted. Just pick it up and go. No regrets.
I'm on the fence still. I really miss the freedom of Android. And Apple kind of made me mad as a company. Rehashing the same phone from 2.5 years ago and calling it new. And touting 3D Touch as the next coming, but not putting it in the $1000 iPads. I like my 6s Plus quite a bit, but Apple kind of annoys me.
The SE is not the same phone as the 5S. It looks the same on the outside but on the inside it's completely different.
It looks like an amazing phone, but I probably won't go back to an Android phone other than a Nexus device.
I love Samsung phones, but waiting 6 months for the carriers to update to the new OS, or security patches, is just plain unappealing to me.
Nexus is the way to go.
I am strongly considering getting rid of my 6s+ and going back to Android,but I won't decide until the summer.
