I have grown to love my Galaxy S7 I purchased over Labor Day weekend in an AT&T corporate store on the road. I told the clerk I wanted a phone that didn’t break easily if it fell out of my pocket.
I was skeptical at first because it did so many things I didn’t think I would ever want or need. But I took 3 hour-long Galaxy classes given free by Samsung personnel working in Best Buy and I now understand most of the stuff it does. It unlocks with just the touch of a finger (fingerprint)! I still don’t have a lot of apps in it yet but working on it … as time permits (and working on getting my contacts in it, little by little). The instructor put my Visa card in it in the last class and it just so happens that Chase already had a relationship with Samsung Pay. I haven’t tried it out yet, though. The SIM from my ancient phone didn’t transfer the contacts over to the tiny SIM used in Galaxy. I don’t have a lot of data on my plan because I didn’t want my bill to go up. I mostly just use wifi with it. I might take some more classes as time permits … taught mostly to boomers and beyond by the uber-patient, smart millenial set :=0 Believe it or not, us old farts are slowly adopting new technology :=0
I could have gotten a free Samsung Tablet with it but I would have to have signed up for a monthly data plan for 24 months for it, so I declined as I would probably never use it.
I already dropped my Galaxy on the sidewalk once and it doesn’t even have a scratch. I put “gorilla glass” on the front of it after I had it a week. It’s tough and heavy and has rubber edges (without a cover). Love the camera and it’s great for watching video and quite a bit faster than my two (ancient) desktop computers :=0
So far, so good. Highly recommend. It’s $26.50 month for 30 months (with no interest) thru AT&T but you can pay it off any time.
