The S7 Edge is a good phone. The camera is pretty out-of-this-world for a cell phone camera! It takes amazing shots without much setup at all. The screen is also a spectacle. The edge gestures are kind of a gimmick at this point, but it's neat to see people trying new things.

Samsung's mobile division has been feeling the squeeze recently. Last year's top-tier smartphones, the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge and 2014's Galaxy S5 all failed to meet sales expectations while competitors like China's Huawei continued to eat away at the low-to-mid range end of Samsung's business.

Next to Apple's iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, the camera sensors used by Samsung in its mobile devices have long been the deciding factor for consumers. Compared to the majority of Android phones, the cameras on nearly all of the Galaxy series smartphones from the past and present time have always...

To get a feel for how Samsung's latest Galaxy S7 devices compare to other phones in terms of battery life, we ran them through AnTuTu's Battery Test which is a high-load benchmark that aims to drain the battery of a device as quickly as possible.
