The gentle curves allow the phone to rest nicely in the hand, and the infamous camera hump is now a thing of the past. Samsung’s new camera sensor is thinner and less noticeable. Two subtle but notable design changes from last year are a curved back (on the sides, like on the Galaxy Note 5) and a more-flush camera module. We strongly recommend to use this phone with a case.

The sloped edges don’t help this fact, as they decrease the grip on the sides. The glass also makes the phone slippery in-hand (and you certainly don’t want to drop a device made from glass). Although Gorilla Glass 4 is scratch-resistant, they can still happen. Also, you’ll have to be extra careful on the surface you set it down. That said, Samsung’s design still leaves fingerprints like no tomorrow. Our Silver unit (new this year) is a gorgeous color and shines like no tomorrow. Our unit is the Silver Titanium (new this year) and it has this mirror-like shine for some superb eye-candy. The front and back panels are still Gorilla Glass 4 protected. For some reason Samsung thought this move was fitting on the S7 Edge but not on its sibling, the non-curved Galaxy S7, which still remains at 5.1″. However, this time, the Edge got a sizable display increase, to 5.5″ (compared to its predecessor’s 5.1″ screen). Samsung’s combination of glass panels and a metal frame still makes for one of the sexiest smartphones out there. Design-wise, little has changed, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Samsung debuted its fancy dual-edge curved screen concept last year on the Galaxy S6 Edge, and it seems to have been a worthwhile investment, because this year we’re back with the familiar-looking S7 Edge.

Is it now the perfect Android phone? Let’s find out in our Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge review. This is especially true of the S7 Edge, which now boasts a phablet-sized display and a much larger battery. But once you dive into the details, there’s quite a bit of worthy improvements. Actually, from the surface, consumers would be hard-pressed to tell anything has changed. In 2016, Samsung made more of a refresh to its Galaxy S lineup than an overhaul.
