    Apart from a slightly larger screen and slightly bigger battery (which won't be a benefit due to the bigger screen) what other differences are there?

    I've had a look at the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge today in Carphone Warehouse and of the two devices I'd go for the Edge (myself) but the S7 is a very nice device.
    It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.

    The phone that costs £569 for the smallest capacity version is "the money saving option"? Really?

    The S7 has a slot for a memory card. Tried to fit one to my iPhone 6 :D

    I was referring more to the "money saving" tag ;).

    I'm in the same boat. I currently have an iPhone 6 Plus but I'm getting a bit fed up of iPhone's. I've had the 3G, 4, 5 & now the 6 Plus but after having a play around with the S7E I'm quite liking the look of it.

    The camera is amazing, low light quality is much better than any other smartphone and the auto focus is instant.

    I checked last night for all the apps that I use on iOS and they are all on Android so I can see myself jumping to a S7E in the next week especially since I can get one for £515.

    Apple do seem to be behind the times with some things but a front runner on others. Personally, I just like the idea of customising my device and not having all the apps on my screen since you get an app drawer to put your lesser used apps in. Also, you can add 200GB to the phone via MicroSD cards. Android Pay is soon to be launched in the UK meaning that I won't miss Apple Pay.

    As a long time iPhone user, i am also considering buying an Galaxy S7 Edge, which looks great. Get tired of iPhone design.

    I think the iPhone is the best device and I've got a load of apps, but the Apple Stores have got a bit arrogant and the warranty & out of warranty options aren't so good now, so I'll be considering my options at the next renewal.

    features are about the same, the cheap upgrade in ramcard and the spare battery you can carry around in car on s7 is nice. s6 went the iphoine route, it backfired on them re sealed battery and no upgrade on ram.

    You must have an unusual S7 if you can replace the battery?
