Samsung has continued with the thiết kế language of the Samsung Galaxy S6 và Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge for the two follow-ups. That means they’re both beautiful phones with finely sculpted metal rims and smooth glass rear covers.
Speaking of the baông xã, Samsung has rounded out the rear of both of these devices, making them more balanced and more comfortable khổng lồ hold. It also means that the camera lens doesn’t stiông chồng out quite so much.
This year the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is actually a bigger device than the Galaxy S7, but not by as much as you might think. It’s slightly taller & wider, & it’s a mere 5g heavier. However, the Galaxy S7 is actually 2mm thicker.

Considering the S7 Edge has a screen the same size as that of the iPhone 6S Plus, it’s impressive sầu how small and compact Samsung has managed khổng lồ keep the phone. To be honest, when we first picked it up we thought the screen was much smaller than it was.

While the S6 & S6 Edge were almost universally praised last year, one area that didn’t impress was the battery. Thankfully, Samsung has done things in that department a lot better this time around.
Both the S7 & S7 Edge have much improved batteries, but owing to lớn the Edge being a larger phone it has more space for an ever bigger cell.
