Review Of The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: The Android King Claims His Crown

When we talk about Android, it is almost impossible not to refer to Samsung’s Galaxy S series .

For seven generations, the smartphone of the South Korean manufacturer has set the pace both in sales and functionalities. However, with the fifth and sixth generation, Samsung did not seem to hit the nail on the head. The sixth generation introduced the metal chassis replacing the characteristic plastic until then, but sacrificed some functionalities, but also introduced the Galaxy S6 edge, a variant with a curved screen on both sides.

With the seventh generation of the Galaxy S, Samsung refines many details, possibly achieving the best Android smartphone of the year – and more with the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge . The Galaxy S7 edge iterates on the fantastic design of its predecessor, but returns to incorporate lost features, such as water resistance and microSD slot, the main complaints of users against the Galaxy S6 edge. The Samsung Galaxy S7 edge has a beautiful 5.5-inch Super AMOLED screen at QHD resolution (1440 x 2560) with curved edges on both sides. Inside, an Exynos 8890 octa-core processor (Snapdragon 820 in some regions) with generous 4GB of RAM gives incredible power to the Galaxy S7 edge. The Galaxy S7 edge also has 32GB of internal storage can be expanded up to 200GB thanks to the microSD slot, a main camera of 12 MP with pixels twice the size of previous generations – despite having fewer megapixels – front camera of 5 MP, fingerprint reader on the start button, and countless sensors, including one capable of measuring heart rate and blood oxygen level, plus a 3600 mAh battery and Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with TouchWiz UI.

Design and manufacture of the Galaxy S7 edge:

The Samsung Galaxy S7 edge reaches levels of refinement that will be difficult to overcome in future generations. The curved screen on both sides of the Galaxy S7 edge gives it a unique look, which no smartphone achieves, effectively eliminating the edges of the screen and improving its ergonomics. The back of the Galaxy S7 edge is coated in glass, also slightly curved to improve ergonomics, although it attracts the marks of the fingers in an impressive way, and it is very difficult to keep it clean. The buttons are firm and respond well, and the start button to the front, also made of metal, works as a fingerprint reader, protruding a little, and responding very fast to the touch and unlocking the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge safely.Speaking of excel, the rear camera lens of the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge continues to escape the limits of the chassis, but unlike the Galaxy S6, the bulge is much smaller, to the point that does not seem to bother. While it is likely that the Galaxy S7 edge can withstand some slight impacts, we would not risk dropping this smartphone under any circumstances – even if the glass is Gorilla Glass 4 – so unfortunately the Galaxy S7 edge will require covers that will drastically reduce its charm.

Screen of the Galaxy S7 edge:

The screen of the Galaxy S7 edge is possibly the best screen that can be found on the market today, thanks to a generous size of 5.5 inches and Super AMOLED technology that provides vivid colors – and at times saturated. While the curvature of the Galaxy S7 edge screen adds beauty, in functional aspects it sometimes provides a reflection aura, which can become annoying when reading and viewing content, especially in non-Samsung apps. Its QHD resolution may not do justice to the naked eye, but Samsung is placing a lot of emphasis on virtual reality with the Gear VR, and its resolution will be a differentiating factor in this case.
