Five stars to Samsung, as the brand iterates perfectly on an already award-winning smartphone, adding a brilliant camera and gorgeous design.
Beautiful screen; Great feel; Super camera
Slight plastic feel; Expensive
The new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935F is a classy looking phone that comes in seven colour options; including silver, metallic blue, gold, and pearl black. Not only is this Smartphone great to look at, but it’s also one of the stronger models Samsung has produced. With a "Corning Gorilla Glass 4" back panel, you can be assured of extra strength in case your phone is dropped or banged.
The aesthetics of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935F in no way take away from its functionality. The quad-core 2x2.15 GHz Kryo & 2x1.6 GHz Kryo G9350 CPU works together with the 4 GB RAM to deliver a superior smoothness in operation. Your phone will also come with an onboard memory of 32GB, and you have the option to upgrade your space with a MicroSD card of up to 256GB.
The display screens on these phones are nothing short of magnificent. A Super AMOLED 5.5-inch capacitive touchscreen offers you 16M different colours at a resolution you’ll never want to downgrade from. The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935F also comes with standard screen protection from TouchWiz UI. It’s an always-on display screen and its also curved for extra protection.
This smartphone’s primary camera is a 12 MP with an LED flash & auto focus functionality. What’s significantly impressive are the three video settings you can choose to utilise. These settings include:
2160p@30fps
1080p@60fps
720p@240fps

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.
Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, Bluetooth 4.2 and NFC. Plus, the phone supports fast charging, though there's no USB-C here.
+ Stunning design; + Big battery; + MicroSD card slot
- Too big for some; - Drop in camera megapixels; - Expensive
I went from a Galaxy S4 (rooted, running Android 7.1.2, Lineage) which served me well for 4 to 5 years to the S7 Edge... This is what I call a real upgrade. Compared to the S4, the S7 is faster in all applications (from a restart to opening the camera, launching any app.
Love, love, love my Galaxy S7 Edge. The screen is so bright and clear, the camera takes brilliant photos and it does everything I want my phone to do.
Love everything about this phone. I had the S4 previously and thought it was great, but this is even better. Yeah, I'm one of 'those' where the phone seldom leaves my hand now. The bigger screen and the very high resolution are very nice features.
It might be hard to believe, but Samsung's flagship "Galaxy S" phones have hit the seventh iteration, and they're packing more than ever. Samsung's Galaxy S6 Edge on the left, followed by the Galaxy S7 Edge in the middle and the Galaxy S6 Edge+ on the right.
Great elegant design; Glass body makes the phone feel very high quality; Water-resistance is back; Performs very; very well for use; with pretty much zero lag; Expandable storage is back (yay!
Can be slippery; Fingerprint magnet; Always on-screen can't be customised all that much; Curved screen isn't always responsive due to how you hold it
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
There's little doubt that Samsung has been on to a good thing with its Galaxy range of smartphones. For a number of years now the Galaxy S range has been incredibly popular with consumers and reviewers alike, starting with the original Galaxy S in 2010 and most recently in 2015 with the Galaxy S6.
Great battery life; Amazing f/1.7 camera captures great photos effortlessly; Fast & efficient Exynos processor with 4GB of RAM; Water resistance and MicroSD support is back
Wallet pain: These phones are very expensive, The Always On display is neat, but could be way more useful, The IR blaster is gone; no more controlling the TV, MicroSD support is great, but there's no adoptable storage here
Samsung hasn't reinvented itself with the Samsung Galaxy S7 or Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, but it has produced a pair of very fine handsets, even if Australia doesn't get the fastest possible models. Over at finder.com.au, I've reviewed both handsets prior to their 11 March official release.
