Got to say, the battery life is amazing on this thing.

So far the S7E is as good as the Note 5.  I can say the S7E is performing better at weak signals where my Note 5 or S6 would not have data connectivity.

 

On the RF department, the S7E and Note 5 is at around the same RSRP consistently but I find the S7E to pull in faster speeds with weaker signals.

RSPR -109 pulling easy 50Mbps+.  This test was done 3/4 in a neighbourhood with many Boost customers.

Hey guys, I saw this page about Qualcomm's TruSignal feature with the Snapdragon 820. Have you guys noticed better RF performance overall with the s7?

Can't wait till Friday!

Super nice! did your note 5 ever pull speeds like this with such high RSPR'?

I rarely see 50Mbps on my Note 5 with RSRP around -109 in San Diego market.  I have never seen 100Mbps+ on my Note 5 in So-Cal period.

 

With a weak RSRP on my S7E, I am pulling easy 50Mbps+.  I can confidently say my S7E is a speed beast.  The RF between the Note 5 and S7E are very similar.

 

Test I just did moments ago picking up Pizza for my kids.  This site I have only seen max 90Mbps on my Note 5 with very good signal.

 

On my S7E with RSPR of -90.

RF same as my Note 5, but in the speed department hands down.   :ty:

S7E better battery so far.

With 600mah more, more efficient chip and screen I would hope so. Could you maybe get a on screen time test one day. From 100% to about 5% with no charging?

It'll still vary dramatically depending on what apps he runs, foreground and background, whether it's good or bad LTE or wifi signal, etc. There have been reports of 7-8 hours with undocumented usage.

 

I run both Yahoo and ESPN sports alerts, tapatalk alerts, signal check pro widget, 3 diff email clients including that dog Yahoo mail (word is that ymail may roll into gmail finally), usually 1 or 2 web browsers, weather underground widget, intellicast tray temp and wx, if I'm driving add Pandora interfaced to my alpine truck radio via Bluetooth, waze, and google maps. Twitter is constantly pulling alerts as is fb and periodically fb messenger and texts. If I'm documenting towers, I'm also running google earth with a tower map kml overlay, and a spreadsheet with tower data.

 

Plus bloatware I can't permanently disable like google messenger"hangouts", and sprint zone.

 

I'm constantly shuffling and killing apps on my gs4 to keep it running so that's why I want to get my paws on s7 so badly.

 

I've long outgrown the s4t for what I do and managing memory / apps manually has lost its charm.

Since the S7 and S7E are the first (from what i can tell) to support 3xCA on B41 i wonder when users will start to see it being deployed and what sort of speeds are possible!

 

also like the 2xCA on B25 as well very interested in that.

Bro, people are reporting 7 hours of screen on time that's mind blowing!

Im trying my hardest not to upgrade early. I wish Sprint had a jump like program where you can upgrade more than once per year.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Quote from wsj; "The T-Mobile deal could be reached as soon as later this month, while discussions with Verizon on a separate transaction are expected to take longer or might not result in an agreement, the people said." "The rising value of wireless licenses is a driving force behind the deal. U.S. Cellular’s spectrum portfolio touches 30 states and covers about 51 million people, according to regulatory filings." https://specmap.sequence-omega.net/

      From WSJ which is paywalled but they're reporting that T-Mobile and Verizon are working on a joint deal to buy and split up U.S. Cellular. https://www.wsj.com/business/telecom/t-mobile-verizon-in-talks-to-carve-up-u-s-cellular-46d1e5e6?st=qwngrnh4s3bcr76 — — — — —  Summary from a user in the Reddit thread:

      Roaming experience in Japan

      By iansltx · Posted

      So, in summary, here are the options I tested: T-Mobile intl roaming - LTE on SoftBank, routes back to the US (~220ms to 4.2.2.4) IIJ physical SIM - LTE on NTT, local routing Airalo - LTE on SoftBank and KDDI (seems to prefer SoftBank), routed through Singapore (SingTel) Ubigi - 5G on NTT, routed through Singapore (Transatel) US Mobile East Asia roaming - 5G on SoftBank, routed through Singapore (Club SIM) Saily - 5G on NTT, routed through Hong Kong (Truphone)...seems to be poorer routing my1010 - LTE on SoftBank and KDDI (seems to prefer KDDI), routed through Taiwan (Chunghwa Telecom) I wouldn't buy up on the T-Mobile international roaming, but it's a solid fallback. If you have the US Mobile roaming eSIM that's a great option. Otherwise Ubigi, Airalo, or my1010 are all solid options, so get whatever's cheapest. I wouldn't bother trying to find a physical SIM from IIJ...the Japanese IP is nice but there's enough WiFi that you can get a Japanese IP enough for whatever you need, and eSIM flexibility is great (IIJ as eSIM but seems a bit more involved to get it to work).
