![]() ![]() The phone can be quite hard to pick up from a table because of its dual edge design - glass on the sides has hardly any grip. It's the handling though that raises a little more concern, especially with the bigger screen - and therefore bigger overall footprint. The dual glass design calls for handling with extra care and any sort of a protection case will inevitably cost some style points. The Samsung Galaxy S7 edge is a stunner but this comes at a price. The charging port has moisture detection however and won't let you charge the phone if the pins are wet. Even without extra flaps, both the audio jack and the microUSB port are waterproofed. If you passed on the S6 on account of the missing water-proofing, the Galaxy S7 edge is IP68-certified, which means it can survive at 1.5m deep for up to 30 minutes. The S7 edge next to S6 edge and iPhone 6s Plus So, yes, it's last year's design but still gorgeous - and this year's onyx black flavor certainly helps appreciate it even more. The Galaxy S7 edge benefits from some minor touches, mostly in how the contour of the frame and the screen curves feel against your fingertips. Samsung Galaxy S7 edge (5.5") flanked by the S6 edge+ (5.7") and S6 edge (5.1")īut why change, when the Galaxy S6 edge is still one of the best looking devices in the market. ![]() With a metal frame bordering the curved 5.5" Super AMOLED screen, and a sheet of curved Gorilla Glass 4 either side, the Galaxy S7 edge is, upon a casual glance, a scaled up S6 edge. That said, Samsung will probably skip the edge+ this time around. The 5.5" phablet is giving the S7 series more depth (different user bases) and the regular Galaxy S7 will probably have more breathing space than the S6 last year. So, Samsung is in a way giving the Galaxy S7 edge more responsibilities than to just be the cooler S7 sibling. The S7 edge weighs 153 grams, which is reasonable for a device of its caliber, yet a good 25g heavier than its predecessor. These two are a good reference considering the S7 edge sits right between in terms of screen size. That's 8mm taller and 2mm wider than the S6 edge, and 3mm shorter and narrower than the S6 edge+. The new Galaxy S7 edge measures 150.9 x 72.6 x 7.7mm. ![]() The identical display size last year nearly defied the purpose of having a pair of flagships competing against each other. Users are given a choice between a 5.5" phablet with a dual-edge curved display and a standard 5.1" screen. This season's S7 lineup looks pretty much like their predecessors but Samsung's decision to give the edge model more screen real estate makes sense. The headphones are the same as the ones shipping with the Galaxy S6 edge. The small thingy came as a surprise to us, but we found it quite helpful - it enables USB OTG letting you connect peripherals and even charge other devices. Samsung Galaxy S7 edge comes in a cool black box, which holds a fast-charge-enabled AC adapter, a microUSB cable, the new Samsung headphones, and a microUSB-to-USB adapter. ![]()
