Go to solution Solved by Darkseth,

Why do you want to Upgrade? Is there something you are missing (like SD Slot)?

Is there something on your S6 Edge, that makes you unhappy, or not satisfied?

 

Usually it is never a good idea, to upgrade to the next generation, because the differences are too small.

 

However, lets say, your S6 Edge doesnt have a good battery life, and you Never maange to go past 1 single Day. This "can" be a reason to upgrade (if it annoys the hell out of you), because the S7 / S7 edge WILL last a big bunch longer. Even more, if you get the Exynos version.

Stuff like that.

 

But for more performance... Nah. The S7 Edge is like a S6 edge with almost everything better. But it shouldnt justify you spending 750 bucks for it ^^"

 

 If you need to have the newest device, get teh S7 / Edge. Or at least wait for it to drop 100-200 bucks down, and then switch + sell the S6 Edge.

 

But i would say, wait at least for end 2016 for the nexus devices, or wait another Year. Then the differences will be much bigger than now.

 

 

Advice : Go into a Store, take the S7 Edge, and play around with it. Does it feel like a big upgrade for you?

Hello,

 

So, I was wondering; should I upgrade my Galaxy S6 Edge to the S7 Edge, or any other phone? I changed from my iPhone 6 to the S6 Edge, and I was very happy with that change.

Should I get the S7 Edge now or wait for some new phone to get out?

Spoiler

unless you really need a microsd card, then there is no reason to "upgrade"

The battery life isn't amazing on the S7 but it will get you through the day.
