I've had the Galaxy S7 for 2 weeks now, and my wife the Galaxy S7 Edge. Brilliant phones. Fast, responsive, dual Sim capacity, dustproof, waterproof and beautiful screens! I've changed from Sony to Samsung this time, and I'm very pleased indeed. [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH][SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH][SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]

But the price? I just bought a S6 Edge for 18490.- Baht (new with 1 year guarantee) at Lazada. I find it very good, but the S7 has certainly some advantages as better battery Sdcard Slot, waterproof.

And much better camera from what I've read

I bought the s6 a week ago. Really pleased with it. It was £350 at the carphone warehouse. The last phone I bought in MV about 5 years ago. This was a galaxy, did really well. I did not realise that the s6 had 2 cameras.

[Big Boy]

Why 2 cameras? Do you take 2 pictures at a time?

[Dannie Boy]

Most high end phones have two cameras - front and back, aimed for those who use social media to contact friends & family so they can be seen while they have access to their keypad to type at the same time

[Big Boy]

Oh, I thought that was standard even in cheap phones. I thought we were talking two front facing cameras.

It seems to have, or what's described as a dual lens camera in the article. I think the idea is to combine two images to get better quality but it doesn't really explain the process. Seeing as it costs 700 euros, I won't be buying one to find out either!

[Big Boy]

I won't either, but hopefully Siani will explain.

I'm having a hard time figuring out the advantage or use of this... other than it won't break when you sit on it in your back pocket...

"Samsung Confirms Radical New Galaxy Phone"

This concept seems more interesting in that you could make a small pocket phone into a tablet when you wanted a larger screen.

[wpcoe]

I don't think it was that Samsung bendable Galaxy phone, but I remember seeing a phone that was displayed at some trade show, and it was foldable like the "old fashioned" flip phones. I could see that being useful. Half the length when folded, so fits in your pocket or purse easier. Especially with these gigantic 6"+ "phones."

[hhfarang]

^ I agree... there's a concept drawing of one of those in a post of mine on the previous page.

[buksida]

Need a new one, mine is on its last legs, can any of you phone gurus recommend a device that has the following spec:

Android OS
Dual Sim
2GB RAM minimum
5" screen (or thereabouts)
Quad core CPU (or better)
Max budget 10k

In the UK at the moment where you cant buy dual sim phones as the networks want to push everyone into lock-in contracts. Very frustrtating.
