ATM I'm running a S7 edge with Tmobile.. Wife just shattered her screen on her S7 edge so I'm thinking about swapping over to a 3T and give her my s7 edge.. How is this phone comparing to the S7 edge and how does its signal strength compare to the S7 edge on the Tmobile network.. I don't do pics that much so that doesn't matter to me..

Somebody already reporting speed issue on T-Mo here, the rest IDK.

S7 edge has better hardware, but I think the 3T will have a better software experience. It really comes down to what you use your phone for.

Reasons to get the S7 Edge = better camera, better screen resolution, expandable storage, bigger battery, IP68 waterproof, wireless charging
Reasons to get the 3T = 6GB ram, no TouchWiz, audio DAC, aluminum build, dual nano sim, USB-C, DASH charging

I personally just got rid of the s7e and got this phone. Honestly the best decision I have made in a long time. So far I have zero issues with tmo service. And this thing is so fast in comparison to the s7e. I don't miss the higher resolution screen much at all since I didn't do any vr. It's built great so no complaints there either.

I also have the S7 Edge and I just bought the 3T. Software is much snappier and better IMO
on the 3T. I did not use the wireless charging and I bought the 128GB version of the 3T so
expandable storage didn't matter. As a matter of fact trying to delete stuff off the micro sd
card was a pain in the butt on the S7 with the way MM handles storage. Battery is almost
the exact same size (200mah difference).
Build quality is excellent on the 3T also. I personally prefer the metal to the glass on the S7 Edge.

Both are excellent phones but having both I prefer the advantages the 3T has.

I think the metal phones are more durable when accidentally dropped compared to the all glass galaxy phones. Also the s7e and note7 are almost impossible to get a tempered class screen protector to fit properly. If you don't believe the galaxy phones are super prone to glass shattering just check ebay for the used galaxy phones and notice how many of those have damaged screens.

Well that didn't last long! So I did love my 3T but it kept turning off and rebooting all by itself even after several full restores with no apps downloaded. OnePlus couldn't guarantee that they'd send me a new sealed unit so I have to return this one for a refund. Back to the S7 edge!

Another S7 edge to OnePlus 3 and now OnePlus 3T swap here!

As others have say the overall experience on the OnePlus if superior than the one on the S7 edge, it feel faster and more consistent day to day, battery life is comparable with the 3T.
The only stuff that the S7 edge beat the OnePlus is the Waterproofing and Wireless charging, Screen resolution is a wash is your are not in VR.

I also came from the S7 edge to the One plus. It is a dlfar better experience. The only advantage in my view is the camera on the S7 is unbelievable. But as other have said the performance and experience is far better on the OnePlus. I dont have any regrets so far.

S7's glass built is superior to OnePlus 3's aluminium chassis? LOL! This world never ceases to wonder me.

Just the camera experience would be really different, don't know about signal strength for your carrier and stuffs.
