- I'd probably go S7 vs S7 edge as the edge looks like it is iphone 6plus size.
It's actually not as big as the 6plus, at least as far as height. Samsung is better with the bezels than Apple is.

This link lists the specs, including dimensions of the S7, S7 edge, iphone 6, iPhone 6plus, LG G5 and Nexus 6P.
The S7 edge actually splits down the middle the S7 and the iphone 6plus, so it's not as big as the iPhone 6plus.
There actually is more functionality in the edge over the regular S7 if you are between the two, and they are expanding the usage of the edge screen all the time. I suggest you go to a bestbuy or something and actually handle the two. The S7 edge doesn't feel that large, even though you get the larger screen.
- The S7 appears to only of 32 gig of memory, plus of course you can expand it. For me 32 would be fine, but she blows up her 16gig Iphone 6 all the time. I understand you can load pics/movies on the SD card, but sounds like that isn't always the case with apps. She is very unorganized and I could see her filling up 32 gig with just apps. I almost wonder if the 64 gig with no SD of the S6 may be better for her.
Depends. Some apps don't allow moving to SD card. Others do, though with all the apps will always take up some space on the phone itself even when you can move them to sd card.
The S7 and S7 edge allow for up to 256GB of micro sd card. So there is plenty of room to transfer files to it, and android has a built in file handling app, but there are also others you can download as well, in order to maximize space.
You can get up to 64 GB micro sd cards on amazon for pretty cheap, 128GB and 256GB can still be pricey.
- I'm with AT&T - so you are looking at about $23 per month for the S7 for 30 months. An Iphone7 with 128 gig is $25 per month as a reference. An S6 is also just under $23/mo, but you can get a $200 best buy gift card.
Are you looking through best buy? Often you can get deals through them, especially as phones age.
I wouldn't recomend the S6, but that's up to you.
I'm with sprint, and we can still do a 2 year contract with a subsidized price. I still do all my phones that way, because I can't beat the plan anywhere else and have no need to go anywhere else.
- On Amazon you can get S7's in the range of $540, which is significantly cheaper than the $690 on the monthly plans. The phones say unlocked / international version. What exactly does that mean, and why would I care?
Ferg can speak more to this, this is his specialty. Unlocked, as I understand it, is free from any one carrier, but again, Ferg knows more about that stuff than I.
Also, if ATT is getting the Google Pixel, you may want to look into that as well. From what I read, they aren't going to have carrier bloatware.
