I upgraded a few weeks ago from a Nexus 5X to a Galaxy S7 (non-Edge). The two things I miss from the 5X are the fingerprint scanner location (The iPhone-style 'home' button / scanner combo on the S7 is a bit more fiddly, although the scanner is quicker) and the bezel at the side. It's far too easy to get false touch inputs along the edge of the screen, turning a click into a pinch zoom etc. Bezels aren't necessarily bad on a multitouch screen.

That's funny, I have the exact same complaints about bezel and unwanted edge touch inputs after moving from HTC Incredible S to Nexus 5X a month or two ago. :) I guess it all goes continually downhill, and has been for a while.
Yeah, I did get it occasionally with the 5X too, but it's definitely easier to accidentally press the base of your thumb onto the edge of the screen on the X7. All in the name of it looking nicer in the display window, I guess.
