I hate my Galaxy S7 Edge
I have been a long time Android, Samsung Galaxy customer but an even longer AT&T customer. To be specific 17 years, i have been a loyal AT&T customer. My number one complaint with this phone is the glass its extremely sensitive to breaking. I had a protective case on it and only dropped it one foot for it to shatter. Now I've been told that it's $700 to replace. I've only had the phone for a month and a half that is absolutely absurd. If I could afford a basic Samsung Galaxy 7 I would purchase one and a heartbeat however that's not the case. What can I do to get another phone if I'm past the 30 days???

The answer is not "Any phone will break....." Samsung purposely put on a glass edge that is fragile and nearly impossible to protect. They don't care if you break it if they can push the blame to the consumer. It is a bad design, made for aesthetics and not functionality. Samsung should own this problem, not the consumer. Premium price demands a premium product. This phone is nice in most ways, but the glass edge is a mistake that the consumer is paying for.

So don't buy an S7. There are plenty of phones for far less, without curved screens.
Best Buy has a good size display of unlocked phones.
Gently used phones can be purchased on swappa
I don't like the curved screens. Whether or not they are more fragile is subject to debate.

I loved my 5S... so much! I had it for almost 4 years and was never envious of the newer models. It was perfection! But when I dropped it in the ocean in Puerto Vallarta, Asurion sent me an S6.
I sort-of loved my 6S... although less because I couldn't replace my battery with a backup battery and the battery life of the S6 was pathetic so I was chained to a charger. But otherwise, happy. Then (a year plus later) I dropped my S6 and stepped on it as I got of of my car. This time Asurion sent me an S7 Edge.
I completely HATE it. The processor is DREADFULLY slow. The touchscreen near the edge is finicky if responsive. I am constantly mis-navigated because of delayed of response time but more so because it resets my position at random as it tries to respond. I have had to reposition my cursor and retype in this post at least 20 times already. Ah, make that 21. No, 22.
It's the WORST phone I've EVER used. I can't claim it cuz I gave it to long a trial and I can only claim insurance once a year... So I either throw hundreds into an 8, try to find a 5 that hasn't been beaten beyond refurbishment reliably, it live with it? Advice?
Make that 26.
