Upgraded to a S7 edge from my old note 2, cannot be leave the difference

A big review from MobileTechReview:

So I haven't charged mine since 4PM Wednesday! still has 29% left.
1d 15h 41m so far, with an estimated 13h left.
Bearing in mind I haven't used it as my main phone yet, but that includes lots of demos with the Gear VR. Almost 2 hours of screen on time.
Standby time is so much better than my S6

I'd also get either some Comply or Inair memory foam buds for them, they help block out sound/stop sound leakage whilst giving a more snug fit so they don't fall out.
Both can be found in the rainforest but make sure you choose the right ones for the headphones you get.
I've got the E10's as well and use Comply Isolation 400.

S7 Edge already has a small update:

Yep, that popped up first thing after boot up.
Took delivery of my new standard S7 yesterday... thoroughly impressed with the phone as a whole so far after having a play but I'm not using it as my main until today as I'm waiting for my TPU case to arrive.
Back on topic, I also had the same problem with trying to use the Smart Switch between the S7 and my old OnePlus X - both devices recognize that they are connected to each other but the S7 says that the other device needs to be media transfer enabled to which it already it.
I've put it down to the fact that I think the Smart Switch only works between Samsung phones, as when trying to download the app on the OnePlus X it says that it is not compatible with the phone.

Samsung's latest video...
Wow that seems huge. Edge version? What usage?
Personally yesterday I did full charge from 7 am, plugged back a 11 pm with 38%. It was with ~1:30h of web browsing and texting all day. But I forgot to check Screen On stats.
Can anyone who got the minor update please confirm the update version? I received my S7 Edge from Samsung on Tuesday but haven't gotten any update, have tried manually searching for it. It doesn't seem to be listed on SamMobile yet either.
Mine is baseband G935FXXU1APB2 and build MMB29K.G935FXXU1APAW

I think the update only removed Samsung pay. I could be wrong though. If you haven't got Samsung pay, you probably had the update.

Any recommended screen protectors for the edge, just thinking with the curve might be more likely than normal to get scratched?
