I have been getting galaxy phones since the S4. This is by far the best one I've owned. I was a bit leery at the idea of the edge as I'd stayed away from it with the S6 when it was an enhanced option. Every once in a blue moon, I might accidentally open the edge menu, but it really doesn't happen often enough to be considered a nuisance.

The memory on this phone is great. I am almost at the 2 year mark and by now, I would already be frustrated with the lag and lack of space on previous versions. There is no lag and still plenty of space to add new apps. It works just as well as it did the day I got it. This is the first time that I really don't see a need to upgrade at the end of my 2 year contract period.

As with most Android phones, the battery could be better, but it does charge fast with the right cord. It also works with a Qi wireless charger which is great when you get a call while it's charging so there's no accidental yanking of the plug.

It is a bit annoying that the port has changed so you can't use old chargers, but the phone did come with an adapter to use with old android chargers. There was also an adapter to allow you to connect a USB device to the phone. It can be used with a thumb drive or a USB microphone as a few examples.

There are lots of features that I've never used. An example, the camera has an AR Emoji feature which works like snapchat, adding animated filters. Another example is the DUO video calling feature that works like facetime. The phone recognizes which of your contacts also have this feature and you will get a notification when one of your contacts newly adds the feature as well. I'm sure there are lots of other great features that I never even used.

If you are a fan of galaxy phones, you will enjoy this phone.

Yay to content, nay to app
I'm torn between giving this a good rating for its content and a bad rating for the app itself, which is the worst on my phone.

Audible itself, is an absolutely brilliant service for those who listen to a lot of audiobooks. For one, the collection is mammoth, much more than Kobo and Scribd. And while one credit doesn't seem like much per month for a book, the daily deals are pretty great and reasonably priced. As a result, I'm able to read two books simultaneously, as well as multitask while listening.

The app on the other hand, is the bane of my existence. While you want to look at your stats as it collects the number of hours you listen to per day, if you pause it for a second, it resets to zero. This is for Android in particular. The bugs are a serious problem, which is why I've complained to Amazon several times about this to no avail. So content yes, app itself no.

A solid Alien Sequel that's more Alien than Prometheus
I love the alien movies and I really liked Prometheus despite mixed reviews so it's fair to say I was excited for this movie, and rightly so. From the start this is clearly going to be a great horror/thriller and a true alien movie and it doesn't disappoint. Michael Fassbender in this movie is amazing as he plays android Walter and David from Prometheus. The action is outstanding and horrific despite not occurring frequently, and there are a couple of great twists in the story. The final twist completely shocked me and I loved it and couldn't stop thinking about it for a long time it's so genius but that's for you to find out and hopefully love as well. Some may have predicted it but I don't care because I try not to predict where a film will go, I just enjoy the ride and this ride is fantastic!
