Would it be annoying watching netfix, youtube and reading news articles, playing minecraft pocket edition with the s7 edge display or should i just get the normal S7, im just doing research on both of these phones before i decide to buy one, i watch netflix alot on my phone so i'm curious to know if the edge display will become an annoyance when watching content and playing games etc, plus it costs 670 where as the normal s7 costs 570. im coming from an S4

The s7 edge has a larger overall build and display with curved edges, it also has a larger battery.

 

I have an s7 non-edge, and it's fantastic, though there are times when a little more room on the screen would be nice. I'd recommend going with the s7 edge, you'll get used to the edges.

 

Something to keep in mind, since the s7 edge has curved edges, cases that protect the screen are a little harder to find.

i have the edge version:

 

Pros: Bigger screen, Almost borderless, Looks beutiful and feels amazing

 

cons: its slippery AF, repair costs can reach over 400 usd, and sometimes then you are using the phone for facebook or twitter you palm can touch the screen and it doesnt react when you press a post or somthing else.

 

i dropped mine yesturday and it slit across the train station platform like a soap bar and the edge screen is now totally cracked.... but i was drunk and running for the train so that 100% my fault

i have the edge and if i could go back in time i would get the non-edge. I had to buy a phone case so i could hold the phone without generating a touch event or dropping it. its too skinny for its size. The bigger battery just compensates for its larger screen.
