Samsung Galaxy S7 edge review: Stargate

14 March, 2016
Pushed way out of its comfort zone and into a high-stakes flagship redesign last season, Samsung’s back to what it does best - making itself comfortable at the top of the heap. OK, it sounds like a bold claim but by no means incredible if you’ve seen the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge.

              I have had this phone from the first days that it was available for preorder from T-Mobile. It has one MAJOR flaw that no one is talking about, when playing video on netflix, or youtube, the phone can have a major failure. it will freeze the video, and emit a high pitched siren sound. it then resets and starts up again. We have two of the GS7 Edges, and it has happened on both, sometimes it takes hours, other times it takes a few minutes. Samsung has no solution, this leads me to believe that it is something system wide that will go unaddressed. Flagship phones should not have issues like this.

Because the higher the PPI gets the sharper and clearer everything gets on the screens independent of what the resolution is.

                  No wonder why Samsung losing customers to Apple and other companies every single day...

                        Excellent. Really nice work on this one. Really like that the Water / Dust proofing is back and love the design, build materials, look, feel. That Auto Focus on the camera is very quick.Excellent to see the SD Card slot back as well. I think this offers a great option around storage needs, ie can can chose own storage capacity, whether that be an extra 32 GB or 64 GB etc on top of the onboard 32 GB and only have to pay for the SD Card to get that extra. Great stuff.

                          Got it day before the relese date and was done with it the next day. Lol
                          Best looking phone out there but other then that nothing special. Back gets hot just by using 5-10 min. No user experience. Still lagged with 4 GB ram. My year and half old iphone 6 feels much smoother then this garbge. Only thing it has over iphone is its screen. And 3600 mA battery is just a number. Only lasted one day as my iphone which has roughly 1600 mA.
                          Just typical Sammy

                            I am so so happy that Exynos 8890 chipset is for UK :)
                            F**k it is slower .. means much much better .. no overheating as firedragon and battery stay last longer ! Thank you sammy

                              btw, is it only me who thinks the S7 (regular)'s design kinda odd?? I mean the back is beautiful, but the front isn't, whereas the Galaxy S7 edge is beautiful both front and back.

                              S7 edge is definitely the best phone out there. I can't believe it outperforms every single sections *except for some performance and sunlight ratio*.

                                  I am a bit concerned with benchmark results in Antutu of the exynos version. How is it that the GPU is much slower (around 25%) but the phones have almost the same overall score?
                                  The performance of the CPU does not cover for the difference alone. The ram and UX scores of S820 are lower as well.
                                  Does this mean the RAM in the exynos version is much better than the S820? I hope Sumsung has not put cr*ppier ram in the S820 to compensate for the better GPU score...

                                        A good looking phone with almost no flaws.....
                                        Its nice to see those custom cores in action, very hopeful about its real life performance.....
                                        Really surprised that gsmarena has all d scores of xiaomi mi5 listed but we still dont have a full review....
