    (should be the correct rom for your phone)




    Wait until the S8 comes out, S7 prices will start to drop.
    But the s8 will be better

    Nah, the S8 apparently has no headphone jack, no physical home button (if you like it), an all curved only model like the Note 7.

    Seems like a bit of a downgrade to me.

    get OnePlus 3T . Cheap, customizable, good battery
    I don't really trust not-so known companies, like OnePlus. Also in my country, there is no place to go and replace/ fix it with warranty..

    I live in lithuania, like few hundred km away from you, but if i will ever enounter a problem i will just simply ship them my phone and they will fix it, send new one back. I dont consider it as a problem

    and (this is arguable but) OnePlus is known and trusted by now. Their busness model really gave them a head start and a lot of people are using them rn.

    So it's not the official, however it's stock but debloated.

    Have you tried flashing a custom rom for it? (May void software warranty and will also make it so you can't update android from your phone)

    With the increased screen the 3600mAh only really translates to an extra 0.33% battery increase. As the bigger screen requires more power.

    XDA has anything you could ever need for your phone flashing etc.

    The OnePlus seems alright, but the S7 camera and IP-certification just makes it so much more interesting.

    All data just means app-data etc usually unless you format.
    Your SD-Card and internal memory will be left as it is.

    If you learn how to make roms then there's ways to bypass the Samsung pay block, the rom I have now allows me to use private mode although it's knox tripped.

    No physical button tear, I do dislike the curve bullshit going on.
    However, optical fingerprint sensor, in the screen most likely. That's just.. Yes.

    Yeah, that fingerprint sensor rumor is a great thing if the phone does have it, but sadly the other crap that's been rumored just kills it imo

    You have the Exynos model.

    The snapdragon model is absolute dogshit when it comes to performance and battery life.

    I heard the snapdragon have good multithreading where the exynos performs better per core.

    I heard the snapdragon have good multithreading where the exynos performs better per core.
    The Exynos 8890 is significantly better than SD 820 all-around. The gap between the two is several generations apart.

    Qualcomm tweaked the SD 820 for Geekbench 3.0, which isn't a good metric for real-life performance.
    On GB 4.0, which is more relevant to real-world performance, the SD 820 fell behind Exynos 8890 significantly (Both in single and multi-core). This is very shameful because with only 4 cores, the SD 820 should have bigger cores, and thus higher single-core performance than the 8890, which is using 8 smaller cores.
    The 820 also throttles quite heavily compared to the 8890.

    This is why the Exynos 8890 S7 gets significantly better battery life (Better standby time + 3-4 hour more SoT) and has no hiccups during day-to-day operations.

    The best way to see the difference is to use both versions.

    Qualcomm got too complacent with their LTE modem patents and they fell behind on their SoC designs.

    According to the tests there's a good difference anyway.. i've chosen the edge version for the bigger battery, the curved sides are useless at 90% but make the design 100 times better IMHO..
