![]() One of the new features that Samsung has introduced this year, an always-on display where notifications, time, date or personalised screen are permanently shown on screen even when the phone is off, does not impact the battery much. Samsung told us that the latter is capable of playing HD video for 13 hours straight. The Samsung Galaxy S7 has a 3,000mAh battery, while the Galaxy S7 edge has a 3,600mAh battery. Samsung claims its customers would rather have the option to use the card to copy files between devices. This tech enables an external card to act exactly like the internal storage, but it cannot then be used to transfer files or data between devices manually – you can’t take it out of the phone, put it in a PC and back again without the files you are transferring being wiped. One thing to note about microSD card storage on both the SGS7 and SGS7 edge is that Samsung has opted not to implement adoptable storage as found on Android Marshmallow. The SIM card tray now has two housings – one for a nano SIM, one for a microSD card. It has done so without changing the overall design too, as the SIM slot also doubles as a microSD card slot this time around. Samsung has also reintroduced the ability to increase storage by using a microSD card of up to 200GB in size. There are models with 32GB and 64GB storage options. One interesting addition in the phone is a tiny heatsink with water cooling that will keep the GPU temperature down during particularly graphics intensive operations – such as gaming. The latter model will feature Qualcomm’s QuickCharge 2.0 technology (not QuickCharge 3.0, sadly) but has new, faster wired and wireless charging capabilities. It also has a boosted GPU and a faster X12 modem for LTE speeds of up to 600Mbps, much like the Exynos SoC. The other model, which we understand to be heading elsewhere, including the US, sports a quad-core 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor. ![]() Samsung claims that the CPU is 30 per cent faster than the processor in the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge, while the GPU is a whopping 64 per cent faster. This is an octa-core (2.3GHz quad, 1.6GHz quad) 64-bit, 14nm processor, with super fast LTE speeds. In various regions, including UK and the rest of Europe, Samsung is using its own latest processor, the Exynos 8 Octa. There are two different processors being used by Samsung for different regions. Like the previous Galaxy S6 edge, the latest edge phone has a wrap-around display that curves on either side. The Galaxy S7 edge has a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED screen – like just about every Samsung phone for many a year – and have a resolution of 2560 x 1440 (Quad HD). In dimensions and weight terms, the Galaxy S7 edge is 150.9 x 72.6 x 7.7mm and weighs 157g. They are both also water and dust proof this time, adhering to the IP68 standard that means they can each survive for up to 30 minutes submerged in water as deep as 1.5 metres. The camera module also sticks out less on this year’s phones, with a protrusion of just 0.46mm to make them more flush. The end result is a more rounded phone that feels smoother and more comfortable in the hand, from the rear, both the S7 and edge look similar, if different sizes – but the front face is naturally flat.īoth phones feel nice in the hand but the SGS7 edge is perhaps the more premium of the two in aesthetic terms. Samsung has got rid of the sharper edge and flat back of the Galaxy S6 edge, replacing it with a curved rear that wraps around to meet the edges of the curved screen. ![]() The Samsung Galaxy S7 is a 5.1-inch phone, while the Galaxy S7 edge has had a jump to 5.5-inches, the latter also seems to feature the biggest differences in overall design on a year-to-year basis. ![]()
