The good The Galaxy S7 Edge has a gorgeous larger curved screen and larger battery than the otherwise identical standard S7. It really is something special. The extra navigation tools can be useful when used judiciously.
The bad When you pile on these extra navigation tools, they slow you down rather than speed you up. It’s pricier than other good phones.
The bottom line The gorgeous Galaxy S7 Edge makes the best Android phone that much better.
Here’s the phone you should buy right now: This one. What catapults the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge to such heights? Is it the excellent camera, the beast of a battery, the expandable storage or the seductive design that’s worth more than the sum of its parts? Yes, and more. This phone kicks the already-fantastic( just slightly smaller) Galaxy S7 up a notch with a bigger battery and that wraparound 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. There are of course a few minor drawbacks - there’s no such thing as a perfect device - but something about it feels more organic than your garden-variety phone, more complete. If you’ve ever seen one of Samsung’s curve-screen phones before, such as the S6 Edge, S6 Edge+ and Note Edge, you know what I’m talking about.
