Bigger battery, more ram
Mar 6, 2016 7:54PM PST

The previous GS6 has a 2550 mil battery the GS7 has a 3000, that along with android M efficiency should allow the phones battery to last much longer than the GS6.
The GS6 had 3GB ram speed, which for a mid size phone is fairly awesome. 4GB should blow our collective hair back.
I was a little worried about the new profile, but they had to make room for a bigger battery and the curved back should make picking the phone up easier.
The kicker: they gave the SD slot back! This was a big sticking point with last years model for many customers. They like the movable storage and were miffed when both the new Note 5 and GS6 were sans SD card.
I haven't got my hands on one yet. I've been rockin the 6p since December and using Samsung pay on the GS6. Not going to upgrade until I see the bugs are out of the phones.

The camera might be better, and long battery life, and water resistant, But on the other hand, the battery is not removable. and if compare to S6, yeah there is not much different.

For all the new options higher than, i am unable to facilitate however feel 2 things: the Galaxy S7 is that the phone that Samsung ought to have created last year, and it's simply too just like the S6.

I can't decide what it's that irks Maine a couple of phone that does not modification in style overtly from one iteration to successive. the general public can skip generations and upgrade from a model 2 years agone, and if a style is fashionable, why step off from it?

Then again, because the 'S' models of the iPhone show, there is a definite apathy once a phone appearance a similar because the previous year, despite packing a load of recent options in.

Samsung's fastened plenty of the issues of the S6 (in theory) here. The battery is currently ostensibly large enough, and may be optimised for higher power management.

The camera has been tooled within the right direction - lower MP count, higher footage - and folks wish to check out those pics on the high res screen offered here.

The design may look a similar, however the rear feels massively totally different within the hand, which matters once you are holding it all the time

I like everything but about their screens and materials quality. The main thing is about the price tag they put and the statement stated saying gorilla glass 4.

My first day experience, by some mistakes it droped from my sofa to carpet and it cracked like it felt from few ft heights to concrete.
So main thing i want to discuss about is how they made the screen that is the main asset of galaxy s7 edge, comparatively to iphone i owned over the year slipped and dropped but its still fine.
So i am dissapointes with their screen quality and their ip68, they could have gone more with ip69. Anyways thanks samsung for bluffing me and getting my money . Loosing me as their customer.
