Enjoy.
Now that I have one i'd say the camera turns on and takes a photo instantly compared to my old 4 and 5 (didn't have a 6). The battey life is shorter than I expected, but I've been downloading and streaming music all day for the last 2 days - so using pretty full on.
or it might be depended on the processor. as the US and china are using Sd 820 instead of samsung's own Exynos
bought 2 ~ｔｈａｎｋｓ
If I wasnt such a cheapskate I would get this and give my iphone 6S+ back to my work.
Surely they will put up edge?
Got notification for pickup…in all of 2 hrs.
Will pick it up tomorrow…
On a separate bummer, by mistake I ordered the case for the s7 edge… Trying to get the seller to change the order on ebay.
Good price! But i just cant use those small screen phone anymore after using the iPhone 6 plus for over a year. Will wait till they have the Galaxy s7 edge on their ebay store.
Bought it for the wife. Her iPhone 5 has about 20 mins battery life left ^^
Ebay's 20% off will be hard to beat for the next few months (I hope)
ahhhhh so they do have it!
just need them to pull the trigger and release it onto ebay!!!!
actually bing lee has the edge online too, not sure why it's not on their ebay store either
Really…hopefully one of them puts it up, it will get ozb'ed pretty quickly.
Damn… all store pick up sold out in Melb.
seeing plenty of melb stores with pick up available.. check again
Still too expensive imo. Galaxy phone has never been more expensive than iPhone at RRP as far as I remember.
It's just an S6 with updated processor + water proof and SD card. Looks almost exactly the same as S6. This is kind of an iterative upgrade, like the S series for iPhones (4S, 5S, 6S).
You're on the wrong site to write such truths ;)
I'm an owner of an S6, and I like it. I'm not a Samsung hater. Am I the only one who thinks this phone is too expensive?
No I think it's way over priced but maybe there is demand for it.
It's just a phone right? $900? I don't get it…
It will depreciate in price very quickly. It won't fall as quickly as the S6 did (because that was a dud) but going by trends I'd say it will be less than 700 by end of this year.
But yeah, my wallet is not big enough for a 900 dollar phone. Will be happy with my $328 LG G2, thanks.
Actually the s5 stayed high for a long time because the 6 was a dud, but even the 6 stayed high for a LONG time.
does this come with Gear VR?
same question
Nope, that was a pre-order bonus only. I think the headset is ~$150 if you buy separately, so this is still a good deal considering you're saving $200+
Great deal, thanks OP. Also if you buy through eBay atm you can get a $40/month Telstra contract (12 months) with unlimited texts, $1000 calls, 7gb data. I'm currently with Amaysim on $45 a month - only difference is I currently get unlimited calls. Great value for Telstra if you ask me.
Awesome Deal OP. Had to pull the trigger, was mulling over the standard or edge variant. Was leaning towards the edge until I actually went into a store and held both phones in my hand. Felt the normal s7 was a better fit and 5.1 inch the perfect screen size for me (from Z3 compact, to G3, to s7!)
Has anyone not received a pick up ready email?
Received an email today saying it's sold out and my orders been put on back order! Bugger!
anyone else receive a backorder email or would it be based on stock per store? cheers
just got the confirmation for Chatswood
Just picked up mine… There was a lot (around half a dozen in front of me and more coming in) of people waiting on the S7.
They're being a little more cautious on these when it comes to ID checks. I was asked to show the Paypal email receipt and they took note of the transaction no from both ebay and paypal.
The device itself is gorgeous!
Picked up my phone at 9:05am today from Nunawading store. Lots of people there also picking up their S7
Hello to fellow OZbargainers!
I picked up mine at around 4PM…still quite a few people there picking up the phone
As an owner of the 32gb s6, even with Micro SD storage I would still go 64gb+~
Silver now out of stock, seems to be plenty of blacks left.
Question, has anyone loaded AIDA64 and determines if the local ones are Exynos CPU and Isocell camera or Snapdragon CPU and Sony IMX Camera?
Im a touch wary purchasing something that's not exactly as the specs state and Samsung were very cagey when I asked them, to me this seems like buying a car and it randomly comes with a 1.8 or 2.0l engine and mags or steelies!
exynos and isocell. mate has a edge and i have normal. both same speced. pretty sure only the states have snapdragon and imx.
hope that helps.
Yes, definitely. Thanks for checking it out.
My partner got her S7 it has Exynos processor and Sony IMX260 Sensor
Thanks! Silver is out of stock, bought the Black.
buy this with the 20% off
return to good guys
say you wanted the s7 edge
pay the difference (100 bucks)
enjoy your s7 edge
Can we just return S7 if they refuse to swap with edge?
I am just not sure about return policy with GG
any one had luck doing this?
for 28 degrees price protection - we need to be able to click and collect right? that way we have a 'proof of purchase' from a particular store??? cheers in advance
good guys send an invoice even when it is posted.
sweet, should be covered then. Purchased
Still waiting on mine. Fasway still has mine and hasnt moved
Was thinking about getting one but they're locked down pretty hard. Doesn't look like it's going to be rooted any time soon so nah. :(
Root is already available on XDA.
Oh, so we get the models that can be rooted? I thought we were stuck with the others. That's pretty cool!
As far as I know, because of Samsung Pay, Samsung is blocking the rooting methods that bypasses KNOX counter more vigorously.
Since the rooting method that used ping to bypass KNOX counter (which was in 5.0.2? 5.0.1?) in S6, I've not seen a method that leaves KNOX intact on S6 (then again, it might be that I haven't seen it, not it doesn't exist). So I assume it'd be worse with S7.
says the code has expired for me.
so I ordered from the good guy with their 20% off ebay and they shipped via fastway, im super worried as for a whole day and couple hours it has been sitting in one place and hasn't moved or anything, hasn't moved today so far as well. so I looked up fastway reviews and they are the worse.
People have gotten their items stolen by them, they dont help they hang up on phone calls, they dont deliver your item instead just put a card to pick up an item and when you go pick up they cant find your item…or it takes weeks for them to deliver… for me it says
Your parcel was picked up

its 17th now and it hasn't moved. can anyone tell me they gotten their phones yet? im getting super stressed and worried. ill like my phone before the weekend…
I asked for mine to be picked up on sunday.. still waiting…
Called them up on tuesday and they sold the last one monday (they forgot about my order somehow). Now i'm just waiting for them to give me a ETA on when they will get more stock in.. Needless to say they are useless.
I paid for mine on the 15th, got an email that it was picked up on the 16th, and today it shows:
Onboard - the parcel is onboard the Courier vehicle.

So fingers crossed I get it by today/tomorrow.

On the eBay listing where it says "Delivery: Estimated between:" what are the Dates stated?
It depends who pay for the review ;)
