First Impressions – 2 New Samsung Galaxy S7’s
As I mentioned last week I ordered 2 new Samsung Galaxy S7’s (32GB). They were buy one get one free via rebate (BOGO). So, 2 for $672 or $336 each.
These phones replace my wife’s 4 year old iPhone 4S and my 3+ year old Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD.
This isn’t a “review” just a tale of my experience so far. If you want a good review see:
