The Galaxy S7 edge is the better S7, one may think. That's certainly true if looks are a top priority, but also for more practical reasons - the S7 edge has quite a bit longer battery life.

Stunning to look at; exquisite build; Wonderful 5.5-inch dual-curved AMOLED display; Powerful hardware; benchmark topper; Impressive camera output both stills and video; Excellent battery life; fast charging; both wired and wireless

Awkward handling; Glass accumulates fingerprints; fragile; Non-removable battery; no IR blaster

It's only logical for us to tell you that this is the best Galaxy ever, and we'd be right if we just left it in that simple conclusion. That wouldn't be doing this phone any justice though.

Great build quality with refined ergonomics; Powerful internals that deliver; Taller design at similar weight to the Galaxy S7; Outstanding camera with low light improvements; A matured "edge" UI; Game Launcher; Awesome battery life; The return of IP68 water resistance and expandable storage

Fingerprint magnet; Slippery construction; Edge display can be triggered by accident; Lags in USB Type-C adoption

All the niggles from the S6 edge have been ironed out and the S7 edge is now bigger- with more space to show off that seamlessly beautiful curved screen along side the waterproofing and expandable memory. Samsung have made sure this phone oozes kerb appeal and sophistication

Gorgeous display; Fantastic specs; Wow factor; Epitome of premium

Size maybe too big for some

I go through a lot of phones (bit of a phone junkie) and this phone is excellent. I had the Nexus 6P, and even though that phone was great, I definitely prefer the S7 Edge to it. Great battery life, screen is unbelievable, camera is awesome (my initial thoughts is it's a bit better than my iPhone 6s...

Not even a funky new curved screen could help us shake the feeling that last year marked the end of Samsung's domination of high-end Android smartphones. The S6 itself was great, but not great enough to distinguish itself from rivals like the LG G4 et al.

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.

Beautiful; premium designs; Great performance; Excellent battery life; Killer camera performance in auto mode; Light; sleek; sexy; pocketable

Non-removable battery; No IR blaster; Pricey; especially off contract

This phone needs no introduction and I'm not going to bore you with a history of the Galaxy S lineup since most of you already know it. Almost everyone knows what Samsung has managed to do and the smartphone has been making the headlines for all the right reasons even before and after its...

Beautiful and Ergonomic Design; Brilliant Display; IP68 Rating (Waterproof and Dustproof; Hybrid DualSIM Slot; Powerful Performance; Great Audio Quality; Amazing Camera Quality; Great Battery Life

Feeble Speaker (Especially During Calls

Samsung has developed an outstanding smartphone visually and technically, and it sets standards. The Korean manufacturer could have offered more in connectivity in terms of more modern LTE and also primarily in terms of interfaces. Particularly the lack of USB Type-C has to be criticized here.

superb camera; lightning-fast SoC; expandable storage; dust and water proof (IP68; outstanding screen; great battery life; Quick Charge and wireless charging; voice quality; good headset included; OTG adapter included

no infrared sensor; no radio receiver; Live View in Pro Mode not always reliable; micro-USB 2.0 only; no MHL or SlimPort support

I already used many other brands smartphones like Apple, LG, HTC, Huawaie but i found S7 Edge extremely beautiful and powerful !! Recommend to everyone !! value of money !!
