Don't get Samsung.
What's the reason?
I was actually debating on getting the S7. I had the original Note once and it lasted me like 2.5 years before the battery life started failing on me and I had to change the battery for a new one. Then the system malfunctioned again months after

As long as it's not the Galaxy Note 7 - damned thing has been banned by many airlines
if you have A LOT of money to waste, get an iphone
if you have a moderate amount of money to waste, get a samsung android
otherwise get a cheap but powerful android model
Google pixel!! My sister is raving about it n she always only used Iphone before.
iPhone. Hands down.
I had androids and even windows phones.
I wouldn't take a free brand spanking new android. I've never had to reset my phone or access a "task manager". Phone works as it's supposed to

I had all of them - windows phone, android, and iOS. To me android was the worst experience as to usability and stability, won't get another droid ever. I really loved windows phone but it seems dead these days so I can't recommend it.I'm with an iPhone 6s (don't want the 6s plus since it's just too big) since about two years now. It's stable and nice to handle and doesn't spam me with advertising which I hate with a passion. Probably will get the new iPhone when it hits the market as I'm in for a new contract.
I have the 7 and it works flawlessly
Depends on your needs.
I have found iphones to be far too restrictive.
Apple is super protective of their phones and you never really get the full benefits.
If you need something basic then yes iPhone is the way to go.
oh yeah, if you want to code your own apps, better get an android, because ios forces you to use an imac computer to deploy to iphone
Been on Galaxy train since 2013, I think it's time to switch back to iPhone in all honesty. My S5 is on its dying breath.
I also have a S3 but the only reason I keep it around is because it's unlocked and makes international travel easy.

I have the S7 & love it! I have always had Galaxies and never had any trouble with them. I don't like Apple products AT ALL!

Do you have the regular or the edge?
I've tried the front camera with the Edge on my friend's phone and it makes your head look longer for some reason lol. I don't really like the edges either

My problem with iphones (and apple products) is that I swear they put out defective devices so that they get more money when you bring them in to fix it. I had an ipod touch and my home button stopped working after like 1.5 years. My parents had two iphones before, one of them being the recent s model and the home button and camera malfunctioned after a while. I have a macbook pro and after 13 months my keyboard and trackpad started glitching and stopped working. Had to pay to get the cable inside changed. I take really good care of my devices too, so it wasn't like I was banging it around.
I just feel like apple products are so unpredictable because you may end up getting one that malfunctions in some way
I've had both and I like the Android OS better.

I love Samsung, but I have the worst luck with them. I had the Note 4 when it was brand new. I got it for Christmas at a retail value of $ 600. I downloaded the upgrade that the phone kept harrasing me to get, and the phone shut off and never cut on again. I was heartbroken because I loved the phone so much.
I had one before that one and it wouldn't stay charged. It would die 1 hour after a full charge. Then I had one after the Note 4 and I barely dropped it and it never came on again.
Hate iPhone
Getting a new Galaxy this weekend.
Because I LOVE IT. ♡

I don't know what to say about that. I guess I'm just lucky. I've never had a problem with an iPhone. I've had my 5S for probably 3 1/2 years now, I'll pass it down to my daughter and she's been playing on it and she hasn't had a problem

do you have a bed-side table? at least a bit further away from your head?

I do but there's no outlet beside it
