Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge

Although there is no shortage of Android devices, there are some names that are synonymous with Google's operating system. One of the companies closely affiliated with the Android operating system is Samsung, which manufactures a series of devices, including tablets and smartphones.

Samsung is a company that has recognized that different people have different needs when it comes to mobile devices, which explains why there are so many models and iterations with each new release.

One of Samsung's most popular range is the Galaxy series. Although many advancements have been made to the Galaxy series since its introduction back in 2010, there is still plenty of value to be found in earlier iterations of the series.

As well as releasing the Galaxy S7 back in 2016, Samsung also released a slightly improved version in the guise of the S7 Edge.

Both handsets offer a premium Android experience at a great price, but there are some differences to be aware of to ensure that you are choosing the best Android device without paying a higher price than you should.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Specifications

Although the Galaxy S7 is seen as the budget iteration of the two handsets, those looking for a premium Android experience will find everything they are looking for with the Samsung Galaxy S7. The 5.1-inch screen is a Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen that can deliver a resolution of 1440 x 2560.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 includes Android 6.0 as standard but can be updated to Android 8.0. Handsets are available in 32GB and 64GB variants and allow for memory expansion via a MicroSD card. As well as offering a premium Android experience, the Samsung Galaxy S7 also offers a 12 MP dual-pixel rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera.

An impressive 3,000 mAh battery can deliver up to 22 hours of talk time and supports fast charging. The chipset is an Exynos 8890 which is matched with an octa-core CPI and Mali-T880 MP12 GPU.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Specifications

One of the main differences between the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. Not only is the screen slightly larger at 5.5 inches, but also curves around the edge of the phone. The battery contained within the Galaxy S7 Edge is also improved, now offering a 3,600 mAh battery which delivers up to 27 hours of talk time.

The resolution of the screen is 1440 x 2560, and there are some improvements made to the chipset thanks to the inclusion of a Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 820.

Which Should I Choose: The Samsung Galaxy S7 or s7 Edge?

For those looking for an Android experience that is smooth while still having a device that can deal with everyday tasks, such as taking photographs and making payments, the Samsung S7 has everything you could need.
