Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge vs Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge spec shootout

Posted on

Much like the Galaxy S6, there wasn’t much wrong with the Galaxy S6 Edge. Yet, Samsung just proved there’s always room for improvement. Example: the Galaxy S7 Edge, a device that takes a wonderful foundation and swiftly builds a monument of fanboy wishes. Bigger battery, more refined design, improved camera, IP68 certification. The list goes on. If you’re an S6 Edge owner, don’t feel too bad. But, yes, your device is no longer the most highly sophisticated device on the block.
