The best Samsung phone!

I need to write a trilogy to fully review this device! I'll try to keep this as brief as possible. Firstly, this phone's display is stunning. After the Galaxy S6, I never knew that an AMOLED display could outperform another AMOLED display. I also love that it's waterproof! I was hesitant to use it in the rain as I've never had a waterproof phone before, but now I don't even think about it. Also, the camera turned out to be better than I imagined. The zoom is incredible and I can take high speed photos without any distortion. 4K video works almost the same as my S6. The nice thing is that I can also plug my phone into an HDMI splitter and connect it to my TV. I haven't tried the DeX station yet, but my S6 didn't support MHL, so it's a nice addition. Call quality is pretty good. I love that this phone is unlocked so no one can tether it. I got it from AT&T and believe it or not, I'm missing some features from my S6. I would like to know how to get their Wi-Fi calling, enhanced messaging and VoLTE capabilities. I didn't think back then that I would use the S Pen anywhere near as much as I do now, but there's so much you can do with it. Thank God I have legible handwriting, otherwise fear would be useless. My favorite thing though is going to the PENUP app and coloring. Suffice it to say that the S Pen is great and you'll be using it more than you think. The next thing nice to use is the new Gear VR. It comes with a micro USB adapter so it's backwards compatible with my S6 if I really want to use it. The last thing I'm going to talk about is how capable this phone is. I found it amazing to have an octa-core processor and 3GB of RAM in the S6. With Snapdragon 835 and 6GB, this phone has no LAG! I'm not exaggerating either. So if you're interested in my opinion and have really thought about buying this phone, GET IT!
