Unarguably the most popular high-end Android phone of the year, the Samsung Galaxy S7 is pretty much guaranteed to sell by the bucket load. On paper, this year's edition looks like the equivalent of an "iPhone Xs"; that is, it's an evolution of last year's design as opposed to an all-new approach to...

The camera is perhaps the best low-light performer on the market right now; It's waterproof while still managing to exude a premium feel; The phone has some powerful internals; The 5.5-inch display is wonderfully sharp and vibrant

It's far too easy to touch the curved edges when using the camera and playing games; An option to disable touch input would be great for underwater photos; It's expensive; even for a high-end phone

The Galaxy S7 Edge is everything its predecessor was and more. The device design, software and camera have improved as you would expect, only now we also have a stronger battery, more power, a microSD card slot, and water resistance.

Excellent grip; Excellent screen quality; Floating Game Tools button; Camera focus speed; Wider f/1.7 aperture (bright pictures; microSD card support; Water resistance

Does not support Adoptable Storage; Fingerprint sensor fails in the rain; Mono speaker

The curved screen is Samsung's new headline design trait, and it's using it more and more frequently. The S7 Edge is the best version of it yet, I haven't spent enough time with the Galaxy Note 7 just yet, and it makes for an iconic phone.

Great camera in all conditions; Stunning design; Sharp; vibrant display

Minor lag in TouchWiz; Screen can be overly reflective

The Galaxy S6 family of smartphones was a big step forward for Samsung. The company changed tack and emphasised camera and design over just making devices with an ever expanding (but not necessarily useful) list of features. The S6 and (especially) S6 Edge were devices you could genuinely lust over.

Svelte design; Fantastic camera; Snappy performance

Slight software issues; TouchWiz; Fingerprint magnet

Whilst first impressions might lump the S7 and S7 Edge into the same camp as Apple's iterative ‘s' handsets, they're more an example of a massive electronics behemoth actually listening to its consumers without going out of its way to push ‘innovative' new features that barely see use after the...

Stunning design; Class-leading display; Impressive performance; Excellent all-round cameras

Competition in the realm of larger premium smartphones is intense. The Nexus 6P, the Galaxy Note 5, the LG V10 , and the Motorola Droid Turbo 2 all have unique advantages, and I could easily recommend any of them.

Top-of-the-line in every way; More Edge functionality than in last year's models; Long battery life

Expensive; Not much internal storage

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...

Improved Edge Screen functionality; Return of expandable storage and waterproofing; Cleaner user interface; Impressive benchmark performance; Better low-light performance in camera

Average battery life; Only 32GB internal storage; Recycled physical appearance

Samsung has now played around with a few curved screen smartphone and what felt like a bit of a gimmick is now a legitimate technology. Although the Galaxy S6 was the best phone of 2015, it was missing key features like expandable storage and waterproofing.

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

If you have the budget, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is the best that Android can offer at the moment. However, there's still room for improvement and Samsung needs to get more apps for its Edge displays as soon as possible.

Most powerful smartphone in India right now; Big display; but small dimensions; Good; fast camera; Waterproof

Edge display still lacks apps and functionality; Touchwiz needs to be lighter
