Looks great, feels great, excellent speed and stamina. What more could you ask for?
Agreed, mine just got here. Lovin it!!
I'm about 36 hours in to having mine. Loving it. The size is a welcome change.
Going from a Nexus 6P to this, sort of I am still carrying both right now.. work and personal but I love the look and feel of this phone.. So much more manageable and really the screen size difference is not big enough for me to care.
I traded in a Note 4 for this (which I loved) and I'm thrilled with the smaller size. It's the perfect middle ground for me - not too big for my pockets. As a tall guy, I could carry the Note 4 just fine in my pocket and in my hand it was great, but I absolutely love the downsized goodness that is the S7. My note was always rubbing holes in my pants pockets because it's just slightly too big.

Came from the Note 4 as well. For a 5'0" tall, 100-pound girl like me the Note 4 was seriously huge!! I loved it to bits but it came to the point where it was impractical to carry and hold. I love the size of the S7 and generally the device looks so sleek and classy! I guess what the Note 4 lacked was that "premium feel" devices released afterwards have.

I'd prefer the phone be a bit shorter and wider (like the LG G2 I'm coming from). Otherwise, the size is nearly perfect for me.

The pearlescent finish and curved back are pretty nice to look at.

honestly, I paid for the ad free version of the couple apps and games I use a lot, I have ad block plus for the samsung browser which is arguably as good as or better than chrome. So for me, that takes care of the second biggest reason I root. The top reason, is bloatware and with gatesjunior's debloater, I've blocked all the apps I can't uninstall and the phone runs great. I personally have really no need for root at this point. After doing these things this is hands down the best device I've had yet.
I actually just mentioned this in another thread. I have the Gold Platinum Galaxy S7 (not Edge). It is THE sexiest phone I have ever owned. Ever. I was very leery about buying it since it can't be rooted and I've rooted every single Android phone since the Droid, rocking Android 2.0.1, which I bought the day it was released. Though root didn't exist, and I had no idea what root even was for probably a couple months. Basically I screwed with the phone and set everything up that could be possibly customized on my own. At which point I was bored at work and discovered root while looking up what else could be customized that I didn't discover on my own playing with the phone. I was one of the 2% on VZW who had their 3G data throttled back by 90%. So I was also one of the first with 4G, getting a Thunderbolt, rather than waiting for the Bionic (luckily because that was delayed for so long, I was almost due for a new upgrade). But back to the point from my ADDetour, I barely mind not having root. I do wish I could customize the statusbar icons/text/clock colors/fonts. But otherwise loving marshmallow. And I've always liked touchwiz. And love this one. But that's only half of it. This is the first time I can say in terms of hardware that Android crushes Apple. It is one drop dead sexy phone. Though damn near every flagship Android looks better than the iPhone now. I even owned a few iPhones over the years, trying to accept them because I've always thought they were great devices, but none lasted more than a couple weeks before I sold em off and got a new Android. Even though I thought it looked better physically, and I always jailbroke them and tried to make myself like it, I always came right back to Android. As I said in my thread about getting a case for it. I want as little as possible. I have always just slapped a case on my Androids without a second thought. But I don't wanna cover this beauty up. On a scale of 1-10, I give it an 11. I just couldn't be happier with this phone. Well, once somebody finds the exploit to root it. But as a stock device. Never had one like this
I love the way the camera and flash is lined up. Screen is amazing!
Definitely the best looking phone I've ever had.

Just look slick and stylish. The glass texture feels great too!
Love the way it looks and feels in my hand. If i had 1 negative thing to say it would be the glass gets slippery when you hand starts to sweat a bit.
Love this phone, build quality, aesthetics and everything, its one of the best looking smartphones, sleek, stylish, premium even better.

Not bad concept at all
Kind of awkward looking, but have to case it up anyway
not the best but it's been a while I haven't wanted a case to change the look of it.
What's driving me nuts about the hate of this device is how many think the G5 sucks solely based on looks. Has the mobile tech sphere really become this superficial and shallow? It's a phone (not a purse) that has its form follow its function. I'll take practicality over useless 'good looks' any day.

Yeah. It is unbelievable how people choose looking over effectiveness and functionality. LOL If no one likes the G5 im open to receive all your phones. Just send me a message and i will give the address hahaha. And my phone will arrive soon, but by seeing the reviews on youtube it seems to me like a very interesting design though. Not too sophisticated but also not too Simplistic. It looks smooth.
If you slap a bulky Otterbox case on your phone, why would "looks" ever really matter? lol with that said, I like the look of the G5. The metallic body isn't HTC awesome, but it's far from ugly.
I think it looks great/fine. I have a clear case (Poetic Affinity) to show off the phone a bit more, and a kickstand non-clear case (Spigen Thin Armor) for when I don't care as much. Honestly I'm starting to prefer the Poetic just because I like looking at the phone itself.
That said, I've found that I stop caring about looks about a week after I get it. Maybe that's just me.
I actually really like the lok of the g5.. I do always run a case though. I have my silver g5 in a spigen neo hybrid case I really dig the appearance with the case even more then the phone alone.
Okay the phone is understated, but its ergonomically great. It doesn't scream for attention like S7 nor is it super thin and slippery like iPhone. Since i don't like using cases, this phone is perfect for me.
Though I have to admit, when you buy a premium segment phone, looks do matter. And LG tbh does disappoint there. Its just an average looking phone. Nothing to go ga-ga over , but nothing to hate nonetheless. Its simply a boring looking phone.
It looks good ;D
Gonna be my next phone after the Galaxy S6
Dunno...it's like a renewed copy of the Lg G2...is not that bad...i like it.
Well you can't deny it's a huge improvement from the G4 and its horribly shaped back. I do wish the whole front panel was glass though. After the 6P I think it's the best looking droid so all in all, can't complain.
Love it
I don't see why people think its ugly.....to each his own.
I think it's not that pretty... The back is ugly with the camera bump (camera bumps should just not happen, put bigger battery to fill the gap). I hate the curved glass. I hate any curved glass on a phone, it makes it impossible to put a simple tempered glass protector which I think is a must.
But.... the phone is great. Not my choice for design but it's a solid performer! From performance to sound and camera. Everything is rocking solid. I like it a lot!

just got mine, its beautiful. great feel and a mix of a galaxy and htc.
Phone looks as premium as any other phone. Very quality look all around. It is surprisingly skinny, which I like a lot, and does resemble an HTC 10 or G5. Still, an amazing build. I will have a case on it, so it's really no big deal what it looks like. Lol
I like it a lot. Feels like an iPhone 6S plus an HTC had an affair and this is the bastard child lol. Love it.

Premium design and quality, bad protruding camera.
I definitely agree - the phone does have very premium looks. Of course, somebody could say that the current Galaxy models are easily a class above this phone in looks. But, in and of itself, the OP3 is quite satisfying to look at. And, compared to others in its price range, it definitely holds it own. Overall, I would definitely give this a thumbs up in the looks department.

Metal>glass. It may not be as premium as the s7 edge, but it definitely is more premium than the standard s7 in looks

All metal body, nice finish. Only qualms are the camera bump. Also because it is so thin and sleek it is quite slippery leading to usage of a case (sigh). But the phone looks very premium. I just don't get to show it lol

very well said it!!
the phone is extremely pleasing and premium to hold and look at. the only issue i personally feel is slippery ness of the device but i feel the same about pretty much every metal body phones. It's extremely well crafted as well. just love the plain beauty of this device.
Beautiful, but 'tis a slippery beast.
Oneplus 3 is love ?❤
Its definitely premium looking phone. For some reason I like the antenna bands wich most people seem to dislike. At least with the iPhone. They make the back a bit less boring looking. Although wish they had proper styleswap covers like in OPO and OP2.
I kind of dislike how the camera is big and bulky and has kind of a contrast against the thin metal body of the phone. In my opinion it doesnt fit that well. It isnt a deal breaker for me of course, I can always put a case.
+ All elements (speakers, buttons, SIM tray, microphone, etc) are in line
+ Good home button shape
+ Good detailing on the alert slider
+ Simple black bezel, not like those old tacky Samsung phones
+ Subtle chamfers
- Corners rounded with horizontal bias. WHY?
- The squircle camera shape
- The antenna lines are asymmetrical: not the same distance from the top/bottom of the phone
- The middle antenna line is thinner than the other two
- Both antenna lines are too close to the top/bottom of the phone
- The top and bottom bezels are not the same length
Overall, the OP3 is the most generic looking phone of 2016: pseudo-premium aluminium build, imperfect design and nothing crazy. It seems like OnePlus tried to make the phone look different by changing small things like the corner rounding and the slant of the top and bottom sides but to me it just makes the phone look worse. It doesn't look as matured, sophisticated or refined as the Note7, 10 or XZ but it's not an visual disaster like the G5 or the old Galaxy S3.

I agree with some of what you said. I recently purchased the gold (white face) OnePlus 3, and it's really a thing to look at. Really nice looking phone, with some inspiration from Apple and Samsung, as well as HTC. The phone's design is nothing extra special I agree, but I wouldn't call it generic. That's being a tad picky. Every company has their style and OnePlus' is quite subtle. The reviews on xda forums are what I looked at as a customer before I purchased this phone. To anyone out there contemplating buying this phone, you won't be disappointed in the design. It's good. Durable and strong. The camera bump on the back protrudes a bit and the sides are kind of sharp (like the galaxy s6 edge), but I use a case so it's not bothersome at all ( I even remove the case sometimes to get a feel of that sexy beast directly in my hand).
I wanted HTC 10, but i got OnePlus 3 for 300 euro, almost new.
Metal case it's very nice, good build. I like the most, the square corners. For example HTC 10 it's very rounded on corners .
I like the phone because it's slim. It's a little big for pocket, but with 5,5" screen, that's it. Weight it's normal for a big phone with a metal case.
It is a Premium phone with Good Price!
I'm very pleased about it.
I love the looks so much. The back kind of reminds me of the iPhone 6 / 6S. Build quality is really surprising too considering the price imo.
Love the sleek body.
I get annoyed when someone hands me over a Samsung or Moto
But the camera bump is a bit of a problem too.
with the oneplus cover sandstone it looks awesome because the bump on the camera is annoying without it

it's looks are bland and regular, like every other candybar form factor in existence, you wanna excite me let's talk moto razr v4 reboot.
After s7 edge to be honest s10 plus have a pretty refreshing looking for me. I like the hole punch and it's not annoying me at all. It's like a design feature the bottom chin is looks like for me is the double for the upper chin, but it's not really annoying for me however when I first noticed it while watched video it annoyed me a little but I used to it. So the look of the device is pretty good.
Very happy with this device. Going from an LG V20 obviously is a big step up, but I'm a fan of maximizing the screen/body ratio. The hole punch camera is 100% fine with me, I think I'd prefer it to the notch. I use a case on my phone, so that negates the design a bit, but also makes it so the edge is never an issue for me.
this is something noone else has thought of either because it's a very stupid idea or because noone wanted it or thought about it, but i thought i could try any way, this app disables the edge display on the galaxy note 10, it disables it both visually and physically, touch will be completely disabled, i plan on having button shortcuts added too so you can launch the camera for example like a shutter button, this is a very niche idea that i doubt will be of interest to anyone, i am considering releasing it just as an experiment though, i made this thread to see what interest it gets in order to know if i should release it or not, my way of thinking when it comes to apps is just different, i don't like curves i don't like edge displays hence why i tried to get rid of it both for design and for the picture being distorted by the curve, theres ofcourse bugs associated with this, as the screen is meant to reach to the edge text or buttons can be difficult or impossible to press, so yeah a very niche idea but honestly it's growing on me to the point of the phone looking strange when i disable the app, it completely changes the look of the phone makes it almost unrecognizable like a note 9 with a flat display
Wasn't able to add a picture
It sounds interesting, I will try it if you release it
It really is growing on me

thank you i may actually do that at first i thought it was a stupid idea everyone would hate but it's growing on me see the last picture i posted it's not ugly.
Good luck for you. But just curious why you bought this phone if you don't like curve screen.
Your idea is basically making a think bezel at the side.
Regarding accidently touching, Samsung already made an app called Edge Touch, which can customize area that immune to touch.

well theres no new phone without an edge display, theres two things i hate with new phones, edge displays and curved display corners, i just want a square flat display but thats pretty much if not impossible, i bought the note 10+ because it looks similar to a sony xperia with thin bezels, i only bought the note 10+ because it has a boxy design something that appeals to me, otherwise i would never buy it if it looked like a galaxy s10 i wouldn't even look in it's direction, i just tolerated the edge display but i never wanted it it ruins the phone the curved display corners ruins it too these are things that makes me want to send it back and buy a sony again but sony has curved displaycorners too which i hate so much i ended up sending the xperia 1 back as i could not stand those corners, the bezels on a xperia 1 or 5 are also uneven thicker at the top than the bottom which i can't stand i am also not a big fan of the 21:9 aspectratio which leaves practically no phone left, all phones look exactly the same the one plus 7 looks like a galaxy, the rog phone looks like a galaxy with thin bezels and ridiculous back, what i wouldn't pay for a sony xperia xz1 same metal build and design with an oled panel and bezels as thin as the note 10+ i would pay 1500 or more for that for that as i find myself wanting to go back to my xz1, the note 10+ is not good enough for that cost but it's very very close, the design makes me incredibly biased towards it, i also don't like how warm the display is even at the colest possible setting every time i look at the xz1 i just prefer the display more, i know about that app i use it myself, this app was meant to also remove the edge display visually.

s10e is way too round so i can't get that one
mi6t too round
oneplus 7 too round and a notch
what i require from a anew phone
1.boxy design like the note 10+ (anything rounder than the note 10+ and i won't even consider it i got the huawei mate 10 pro and it's nice but too round but i still got it as i knew flat square displays were a dying breed)
2.square flat display with no rounded screen corners
these are two things that simply do not exist in a new phone apart from the razer phone but that one has giant bezels and no oled, for some reason they are that rare the xperia 1 and 5 is as close as i can get, xperia 1 and 5 and note 10+ are the only phones for my taste theres nothing else i've looked everywhere it just doesn't exist it seems people are obsessed with round phones why i don't know, it's like i am an alien when it comes to smartphone design taste, i just don't understand why people want a curved display and when they say anything bad about it it's that it's pretty but not practical, i neither want it for the look or for it's feel.

I'm not obsessed and think that the wrong term, The edge Display (Agreed not practical) as in its functionality, however it does aid in the slimmer feel, mainly yes aesthetic, I have the Mate 20 X 5G also, that is a flat Display (7.2" of goodness) but I do appreciate the curve as it looks and yea feels good.
We are all into different things and for an OEM or OEMs to cater for every individual likes or wants (needs) then come on that's just not viable.
You are another level cookie ...... cant imagine there will ever be that device for you, especially now with the waterfall Display and folding phone Era
Not having a good not everyone is comfortable with the curve that's perfectly fine, but it's not going to change with Samsung, They might evolve the note line into the fold, but as if now the curve is here to stay.
The App is a solution for you and if it makes it a better experience then that's great, for me personally, obviously I bought the Note knowing its curve, so its neither a hindrance or a bother to me....

yeah i will never have the perfect smartphone i actually designed my own because of that
www.facebook.com/symetium/videos/2135545376537234/
did a curved design too this is where a curve is justified and i do like that type of curved design
and the app was not made just for that reason it was also made as a fun test
i use edge touch as that also disables the edge screens , find it within goodlock

Apple is trying really hard to make their phones uglier than the Pixel! Have you seen the new design?
Late reaction but I too want the ability to deactivate the edges of my screen. My reason is that that XServer XSDL used in combination with Linux Deploy will take all the available screen to display and that leads to buttons on the curved edges being almost hidden. I realise this is either very difficult or impossible to achieve and that a simpler solution would be to find/make another XServer application but this can be help in other situations. But since this thread is there I was hoping to check if zzcool or anyone else had a solution.

If you use something like the Zizo Bolt case accidental touches just don't happen.
This phone need a good case or it will be damaged... eventually.
I use the curve portion to house One Handed Operation plus, it works out nicely.
Occasionally I need to rotate into Landscape mode when cut/pasting, more often I do that for lengthening the search bar though.
I like the curved display... after some adjustment.
The square corners is what I really like... rounded corners look hideous.
iPhones look goofy... trix are for kids
