I'm having a difficult time figuring out how the Edge has a 20% larger battery and about 8% larger physical volume than the standard S7, yet the S7 has 97% of the weight of the Edge. The Edge at 157g is decent in terms of weight for a 5.5" device, but the S7 at 152g has somehow managed to become the heaviest S phone yet, even outweighing the physically larger and removable backed S5. Overall the S7 looks great, but the weight is atrocious, almost a full ounce more than my S4. And with the weak looking glass construction, it pretty much means that I'll have to use a case (which the tough polycarbonate body of my 3 year old, 130g S4 has never needed), adding even more weight. Even without a case, the greater mass yields a greater impact when dropped from the same height. When I saw 157g for the Edge, I figured the S7 would weigh in at about 135-140g. What, did they add a chunk of lead inside to make the device feel more substantial? All else being equal, I think lighter weight is always an advantage. I carry my phone in my shirt pocket 98% of the time, and one of the biggest issues I had with the Note 3 I briefly owned was that the weight would practically pull my shirt off. The S7 is closer in weight to the N3 than the S4. Ugh. WTF?

Hopefully T-Mobile will have a 64GB variant. 32GB onboard is an improvement over my S4, but I'd pay more for 64 or 128GB, to go along with my 128GB SD card.

Cool thanks pal for not understanding the word "confirm." And this post literally says it has infrared, hence me wanting confirmation.

No need to be ugly. The only way to confirm what you want to know is to find explicit statements by Samsung saying that the device doesn't have those features, which they haven't to my knowledge.

Wasn't trying to start anything just didn't like how you phrased your post ;) Didn't know if anyone saw something I didn't in any hands on video, or somewhere else. While I'd be surprised if it had IR or FM, it seems like it isn't confirmed either way.

I thought at least FM was making a comeback...

I bet it has to do with the water cooling system

Isn't that in the Edge, as well? It's perplexing that the 5.1" S7 only weighs a single gram less than the much larger S6 Edge+ with the same size battery. Where is the extra weight coming from? The S7 Edge weights 4g more than the S6 Edge+, despite being smaller, but the significantly larger battery makes this logical. The S6 Edge is 6 grams lighter than the S6, so there appears to be a small weight advantage to the Edge design, but it seems that the S7 should have come in more along the lines of 140-145g. Not a deal breaker for me, but - other than sealed battery - the weight is the biggest negative to me, coming from the wonderfully light S4. I hope I don't find it too annoying.
