Would you say that the Samsung Galaxy S7 is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Samsung Galaxy S7 exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I Don't know its my phone or else, but in some games, its little bit lag when loading some scene. But one thing that I notice that my S7 signal is more weak than my previous phone (on LTE), it's very noticeable that sometime I have to restart my phone or change it to 3G first than switch it back.

I have had similar signal issues while my other gs7 had a good signal. Replaced the device now the signal is good..

As far as speed, it feels slower to me then my s6 and note5 games dont run as smooth, gear vr jitters or glitches quite a lot, something the note5 never did. And it doesnt register touches well. I have had these issues on 3 separate gs7. 2 mine and the one i returned and swapped mainly because the signal and i could see glue separations and striations in sunlight between the lcd and screen. I have really come to dislike this phone, a first for me with samsung.

This is my new account and was here since my galaxy s2 and I really looked deeply into the matter.
Improved to an S4 later and tuned the hell out of it. And now having an S7.
The Hardware and the processor improved really much since then, so it's not an hardware issue, it's allways a configuration and software issue, if the phone lags.

I can't understand why people are unhappy with their phones, that aren't "snappy" enought.
It's their fault, because they accept the default settings most of the time and don't care about improving their phone by themself, by optimizing settings, disable useless/unused features and remove all that bloatware and spyware crap.

Also with a good custom rom most of these problems are solved anyway, even by default if the developer did the optimization for you... lazy ass :D

Maybe start with something like that:

Activate Beast Mode on Galaxy S7

ps: can't post full links yet with this acc. lol

I am running King rom with prometheus kernel with no lag and I mean absolutely no lag. Here is AnTuTu not that benchmarks mean anything right? ;)





Delivered by my Silver S7.
I would be much happier if our Verizon varian could be on the custom ROM/kernel too! And... also has the Exynos on board!
