It’s early days to decide which is the best phone of 2016, of course, but right now the Galaxy S7 is unbeatable, and we struggle to see which phone might be able to take it on. Even the LG G5(which goes on sale later this week) and the HTC 10(to be announced next week) can’t hold a candle to Samsung’s flagship. We really think Samsung’s cracked it with the Galaxy S7.
It’s worth pointing out the Galaxy S7 is a twin, and its sibling - the Galaxy S7 edge - is also a very capable Android phone with a unique dual-curved-edge screen. But it’s not for everyone. Meanwhile the Galaxy S7 is a great all-rounder that has managed to improve on the already brilliant S6. Samsung has improved on its winning formula in the most important way: by listening to what consumers want. And, since it’s Samsung, it’s also piled on even more performance.
