The latest smartphone from Samsung, Galaxy S7 Edge, borrows the best specs and features of last year's Galaxy S6 and mixes them into a curved phablet that comes with the dimensions of a normal-sized phone. The waterproof smartphone with a curved screen comes in metal and glass design, making it the best phablet on the market at the moment.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge phone model raises a new bar for speed, camera and screen performance. It comes with a decent battery life, an expandable storage and is waterproof.
According to The Guardian, the Galaxy S7 Edge's ergonomic design feels great in the hand. It's easier to hold and more comfortable. The minimal bezel and the curved edges make the Galaxy S7 Edge one of the smallest phablets to date. It is shorter and narrower than many smartphones with smaller screens.
The S7 Edge showcases top-of-the-line performance even if Samsung's AMOLED screens have always been great. The S7 Edge's 5.5-inch quad HD AMOLED (534ppi) screen is pin-sharp with rich and deep colors. It also provides a great range of brightness.
The S7 Edge phone model is waterproof. Its IP68 standard means that the device can stand 1.5 meters of fresh water for 30 minutes.
Forbes says that the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge are split between the Exynos 8890 in some regions and Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 in others. In the United States, the S7 Edge will feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chip. While CPU performance is close, the benchmarks show that the Snapdragon 820 provides superior graphics performance.
