Edge Lighting Upgrade! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion

I noticed I had an update available on the edge screen today. They launched new settings for the edge lighting. Can change colors, width, etc. See screenshot. Been waiting for this.
Now I just wish I could get that old peoples edge where I could set a color for each person that the S7 Edge had at launch.

Brightness bug

Any one noticed that after so long the screen dims ever so slightly just like it did on the s6 edge not as much as the edge but just enough to make the whites go off white do you reckon it could be fixed by a dev just like it was on the edge ??

Screen glue visible?

I have the S6 Edge and I want to know if the S7 Edge suffers from the same issue.
If I look at the screen (with any app that has a white background e.g. Settings) I can see patches all over it. Not scratches, but patches. Kind of like an orange peel effect. It's not a serious problem but just a little annoying. I also have the regular S6 and it has no such issues. In fact I prefer the regular screen in terms of quality.
But if you have the S7 Edge, please let me know if you have this issue.
Much appreciated.
Did you get a refurbished s6? I can't see any of those issues with my s7
No it was brand new, sealed. My S6 doesn't have it, only my S6 Edge has it. So you have no issues with the screen at all then? I'm considering getting the S7 Edge.

Are the edges worth it?

I currently have a Galaxy S6, and I'm trying to decide if I should upgrade to an S7 edge or a regular S7. Is the edge functionality worth the extra cost?
Thanks!

If You like and need better battery and biger screen go for it. Edge is the last thing except visuals ?
i just made the same switch as your talking about. i was on the regular s6 and made the jump to the s7 edge and i love it so far. i love LOVE the battery life as ive been on a single charge starting from 4 am this morning and its 10 20 now and i still have 24 % left . my s6 wouldve been dead by now . the only thing so far that ive noticed myself doing is actually not using the edges as theyre intended and from what i can gather is simply because im not used to having them. i love the phone and im sure you wont be disappointed! good luck in your choice!

Thanks for your reply. How does the S7 edge camera hold up against the S6 camera? I'm hearing good things about the S7 camera, but it would be good to get the opinion of a user who's used both.

I disabled the edge features... I just love the look of the device, bigger screen and bigger battery.
The Edge features were not worth it on the S6 Edge. They're more than worth it on the S7 Edge and I can't t live without them.

I exchanged my S7 for the S7 Edge. Good bit better battery life. Don't use the edge features.

I like some of the functionality of the edge. The only problem I've had with the edge is I use SwiftKey as my keyboard and I set it up with the number line on top of the keyboard. Sometimes, it's difficult to press the number 1 because it's right on the edge. I think I can shrink the keys a little in SwiftKey so it'll fit better, but I haven't tried it yet.

I tested S7 edge at the Samsung experience booths, the camera is marginally better on S7 vs S6 in regular lighting, under low light scenarios, it takes brighter images with less noise. The aspect ratio is 4:3 though so you'll get vertical black bars on the screen when you review the pics you took since most screens including the phone are 16:9

The camera defaults out of the box are 4:3 however you can change them to 16:9 or even 1:1 if you want.
Yeah that's true, but then you lose 3MP more and FOV due to crop. ....

I've had the s4, note 3, note 4,note 5,and now s7 edge, the edges are cool, but super annoying when typing with 1 hand, because I have a tendency to hit letters on the edge of screen when typing. So far, I believe the note 5 was a better phone, but then again I was in love with the pen features.

My last 3 devices have been edge variants, note edge, s6e+, and s7e. I absolutely loved the functionality of my note edge but had them totally disabled on s6e+ cause they kinda sucked. Now with s7e I'm using the edge panels again, Samsung has definitely improved the stock panels and some development on new panels are ok. They still have a long way to go but there's enough function now for me to use them. Plus the edge is a sexy beast looks wise.

Question about the edge

I had an S6 Edge Plus. With it when the screen was off I could rub my finger up and down the edge a couple of times and the edge light panels would come on. On the S8 Plus that I just got this does not work. The only thing I am able to see are the regular edge panels when the display is on and I open them with the tab I the side. Is this feature not available on the S8 Plus?
