@nickthegun Will the S7 be your first Android phone? I've been iPhone since the iPhone 3G and have an 6S now. I also bought a Samsung S7 a few months back mainly for the GearVR stuff.

Let me put it this way... you'll soon realise why people say Android is less slick that iOS. If you do any amount of web-browsing on the phone, the amateurish feel of the scrolling will drive you nuts compared to how lovely it is in iOS. The lack of a swipe-to-the-right gesture to go back a page/screen also drives me absolutely nuts. The hardware back button is far more inconvenient than just swiping across the screen where your thumb/finger naturally rests.

Well worth getting one, though, just to see what it's actually like and make your own mind up. And the GearVR stuff is amazing.
