Samsung has been doing fairly well for itself in the market and has consistently maintained a top spot in global sales chart. However, within no time, the company realized that the plastic phones with overfed software is not going to make the cut in this highly competitive market.

When Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge launched, they were faced with a tremendous challenge of beating its own predecessors and that too with a hefty margin. The phones must appeal to the perfectionists without going backwards and most importantly, the phones must justify the price tag.

Samsung S7 introduced the microSD slots back into the game with their S7 series, taking the storage woes out of the hands of the customers. It was a definite one-up from the Galaxy S6 series. Further more, the new S7 comes equipped with Exynos 8890, powered by eight CPU cores, four of which run at 2.6GHz while other four n 1.5GHz, making the phone perform faster and in a more efficient way.

The AMOLED screen technology in S7 helps consume less battery power by lighting up individual pixels, simple white text on black, helping the display screen to show time, notifications and battery status in standby without eating into your battery life.

One of the most useful features on the phone is the ability to double tap the home button and get instant access to the camera app. You can switch on the camera within any app or lock screen without having to go back. The camera app itself is simple but has lots of features and controls underneath the surface. You can get the benefit of Live Photos, like that in Apple, with Motion Photo. Other things such as Hyperlapse, Slow Motion, Selective Focus etc. makes the camera much better.

Between the two phones, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, it is all about the size that you prefer and what you are more comfortable holding in your hands. If you think you are willing to pay the premium for a curved screen, then by all means choose S7 Edge over the other.
