Of all the phones announced at Mobile World Congress 2016, Samsung's Galaxy S7 Edge was the one that impressed me the most. It's clear Samsung has listened to complaints leveled at last year's flagship and have endeavored to address every one.

Refined design is stunningly beautiful; Camera is uber fast and delivers excellent image quality; Exynos 8890 SoC is powerful; Fantastic battery life and display; The microSD slot is back as a must-have, water resistance as a differentiating feature

TouchWiz still lacks polish, should be made optional; Glass body is slippery and attracts fingerprints; No USB Type-C

Design - Seamless curves The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is made from premium materials and a special 3D Thermoforming process has been used to melt and shape the glass. This process is so precise that it is almost impossible to see a visible seem, where the glass meets the metal body.

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

While the Galaxy S6 Edge was about reinventing and reinvigorating Samsung's design language, the Galaxy S7 Edge's story is far more modest, as Samsung has instead opted to merely refine and evolve what it believes is a winning formula. Mission thoroughly accomplished.

- Premium metal/glass build - Comfortable to hold - Sharp; vibrant screen - microSD returns - Wireless charging - Water/dust resistant - Fantastic camera - Long battery life - Improved edge functionality - Fingerprint sensor

- Weak; tinny speaker - Glass is still a fingerprint magnet - Software has a lot of redundancies

Here's the phone you should buy right now: This one. What catapults the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge to such heights Is it the excellent camera, the beast of a battery, the expandable storage or the seductive design that's worth more than the sum of its parts Yes, and more.

The Galaxy S7 Edge has a gorgeous larger curved screen and larger battery than the otherwise identical standard S7; It really is something special; The extra navigation tools can be useful when used judiciously

When you pile on these extra navigation tools, they slow you down rather than speed you up; It's pricier than other good phones

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.

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.

Editors' note (March 28, 2017): Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus, the follow ups to 2016's excellent Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. Priced at $750 (£689 and AU$1,199), the Galaxy S8 features a beautifully curved 5.8-inch screen with an ultra-narrow bezel; facial recognition as an alternative way to unlock the phone; and Samsung's nascent Bixby voice assistant. The S8 Plus costs a bit more -- $850, £779 or AU$1349 -- and comes equipped with a larger body and battery, but is otherwise identical.

The gorgeous Galaxy S7 Edge makes the best Android phone that much better.
