speak to Frank

Depends what you prefer in a phone. They trade blows in a lot of areas but based on me owning an S7 Edge, having used a HTC 10 and reading about both in threads on XDA

S7 Edge has the better screen, it is brighter, can go dimmer, can be oversaturated if that is your thing, or can be set to basic mode for excellent colour accuracy.

The HTC 10 actually takes more true to life photos, the S7 Edge does have a tendency to oversharpen images quite a bit and it cannot be turned off. Only way to stop this happening is using Pro Mode. The S7 Edge is more consistent though, whilst it can take a few shots on the 10 before you get the perfect image.

Auto Focus on the S7 is king and destroys the HTC 10, as does the time it takes to actually snap and take a picture.

Audio quality on the HTC 10 on a whole is just a step above the S7 Edge. It has a cleaner DAC, a MUCH MUCH more powerful headphone AMP, uses its bottom speaker and earpiece speaker (Which can be done on the S7 Edge, but ONLY with root) and records audio in videos much better too.

The HTC 10 is smoother than the S7, yet the S7 loads things quicker.

Skins are personal preference, I like Sense and Touchwiz. Touchwiz actually has some really neat features

Battery life on the S7 Edge is better than the HTC 10. For my own usage, the S7 Edge can get me 6-7 hours SOT over a 24 hour period, whilst the HTC 10 I had for a few days only did 4-5 hours SOT over a 20 hour period. These are both WiFi only results. In terms of 4g, subtract about an hour SOT from both times.

WiFi reception is pretty poor, when you compare the two. Both the HTC 10 I temporarily had and the HTC 10 my friend has can not get WiFi in my kitchen (router is in my room). My S7 Edge handles this fine. There is also a pretty big thread about poor WiFi on the HTC 10 on XDA

Wish there was a 45% discount code from eBay.

On the (incredibly) unlikely chance that anyone comes back to this page, phone was delivered in excellent time and UK stock!! Brilliant. Was so happy :smiley: Can't say enough good things about this company.

My handset was delivered today. :sunglasses:

​Had an email in the last hour is being dispatched today!

What was the delivery date? I bought mine for 399 from another similar ebay shop on that day and they stated the delivery date as December 12th.
I suspect they all order from the same place in Korea or China and just wait for that to be delivered,

How about this retailer? Any pointer please. Thanks

​Did find one for £489 so bit more will post detail if you have no luck like me.

Anyone received one from this ebayer yet?

arrgh, would have got one if i could have got the nectar points to work, hopefully another store puts out another offer

£530 now

Yeah I tried an Argos S7 'refurb' ... The one I got had been battered. Drop damage to 3 out of 4 corners and a nice scratch on the screen for good measure. They refunded without question though (as they should).

This magical word 'refurbished' is **** marketing speak for 2nd-hand, always has been and always will be.

now gone up in price to £529.99

Really tempted to get this but I can't decide between this or the HTC 10.

All the reviews I've watched, the reviewers have mostly said they prefer the HTC 10.

Decisions...

I got my s7 Edge dual SIM (DUOS) in silver for £447 from eglobal around 5 weeks ago. I believe it's imported from the UAE. Would this be an issue?

cos 45% sounds funnier then 90%

I would go for this but really don't want to downgrade my screen and battery from the S6 Edge+. It's just a shame that the Note7 had that slight exploding issue. Hot deal though!

its only the normal version and its refurbished. £460-ish for refurbished edge

You can't go wrong with this phone,especially if it's the Exynos version with the excellent Samsung processor. Would be single sim though.

I know these things are very subjective but is this considered one of the top phones around just now? I.e better than Sony xperia xz, HTC 10, Nexus, lg g5, etc?. Watched and read loads or reviews but different sites or reviewers give very different opinions. Would appreciate any input, particularly from the whizz kids who know the phones inside out :smiley: cheers

£399.99 on Argos eBay, Black Friday deal

Refurbished mate, not brand new if that is what you're after

​The s7 edge Exynos is better than snapdragon 820 (international). Hence we get the better draw on processor however we only get single sim.

If it's any help to those worried about it being an EU phone, I've owned a German LG G3 for 2 years with absolutely no problem whatsoever. Just pop a plug adaptor onto the EU 3-pin plug, and you're good to go. No reason to pay a premium for a UK version in my view.

Don't feed the trolls.
Very pleased with my S7 edge, bought it 2 weeks ago from someone a mile away, on Gumtree. New in June, £300...

When the Galaxy Note 3 came out, I had an EU model shipped with a UK plug from Expansy's UK, no issues whatsoever, in fact, I had software updates through OTA faster than the UK unlocked version!
Wife is still using this phone.

Did I hit a nerve?

Nice bomb.

I'm waiting for 110%...pay me!

Hot if uk stock, cold if not

Not sure that it proves if it is a grey import any less, but see you can get silver from mobiles.co.uk as well. Also not proof but on their website they are priced at the top end of 629.99 so would be cheeky if they were grey.

Does look a good price though and quite tempted.

never heard of these guys...

I've asked seller if it's a UK model or not, if so, best price i've seen

Was literally about to say the same thing. Get over it. Its not even this phone. :man:

Cheap price for a bomb

If this is non EU then it won't be covered under warranty in the UK, my wife ended up in this boat and we had to claim on our phone insurance.

Take the plunge or wait till tomorrow? Hmmmmmmmm >.<

The UK S7 Edge has a lesser processor and only a single SIM slot doesn't it? Why did we get a rough deal compared to the rest of the world?

This or the pixel XL?

Same reason you didn't go for 99%. Lol.

UK plug/mobile?

Mobiles.co.uk is owned by CPW.

Why not go for 90% discount code.. lol

Thanks FD. Wish there was a 20% discount code from ebay.

​the fact that it's not made for UK. uk silver is exclusive to CPW as far as I'm aware

It looks like a pretty established eBay business to me, judging by the 300,000+ feedback they have. Certainly not some drop and run seller. Sounds to me like you're assuming it's a non-UK handset without any proof.

BEWARE this is not UK spec, it will be an EU model supplied with a 3 pin plug...if that doesn't bother you and cost is your deciding factor then that's fine.

If it was a UK spec model from an established eBay business, you would be looking around the £500 region. So about £50 or so more.

Is this UK / EU stock? Great price if it is... fingers crossed a mainstream retailer follows suit.

Shame they don't appear to be offering it in black.

Who is Frank?!

Frank is busy making a code :stuck_out_tongue:

anyone ever bought from this company
