Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Hands On Review

Here's the phone you should buy ASAP!: There are very much great features that catapults the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge to such a height, talk of its superb camera, the beast of a battery, the expandable storage or the very enticing design that could make you go steal to buy one.

The Samsung S7 edge is no doubt the phone of the Year if not century lol.. a much bigger battery which actually is the first Samsung smartphone to ever spot such a huge battery, and of cos the wraparound edge design on both sides that never fails to draw me deeper into whatever I'm viewing or doing.

Everything about the 5.5-inch S7 Edge excels from the inside out, and Samsung has refined the extra navigation software that dresses up the screen's physical curves. The rear of the phone is beautifully curved, making it sit nicely in the hand.The screen is larger, yet somehow the phone doesn't feel too much bigger in the hand. 

It's waterproof, water-RESISTANT, as it's IP68 rated. Which means it's still able to work after being dunked in fresh water for 30 minutes up to a depth of 1.5 meters, so you'll be able to use it happily in the bath, or beside the shallow end of the swimming pool, and not worry about dropping it.

The S7 Edge uses Super AMOLED technology, which Samsung's been ditching out for close to a decade now, and it really works best to make the phone look premium and the colors really pop. The Galaxy S7 Edge screen also has the added benefit of the side display, which is accessed by swiping your thumb along from the right- or left-hand side of the phone's screen (you can specify which in the settings).

The Samsung S7 edge  Battery is a killer, a whooping 3600mah Battery which promises  about 20 straight hours of video playback time on average: compared to most of the Samsung smartphone in market. Real-life results were also full steam ahead. Expect the battery to last a long day on a single charge, the Samsung S7 edge Battery could last 13 straight  hours of heavy Internet usage
