Galaxy S7 edge hands-on: bigger and better point iteration

2016-02-21
still here in Barcelona this time with the Galaxy s7 edge and you'll notice that it's bigger than the s6 edge of last year and that's not the only change let's go take a closer look this year's galaxy s7 edge is bigger than the galaxy s7 which is the novelty because last year's galaxy s6 edge was the same size as the galaxy s6 but that's not the only change let's take a look at the outside first we still have the red round edges that do all curvature on the left and right but this time around the back feels also rounded a little bit because the glass is seamlessly molded into this very thin layer of aluminum and it really feels good in the hand you no longer have those edges which feel rough in your palm it just feels like a polished nice bevel on the outside that's not all that's changed the galaxy s7 edge just like the galaxy s7 is this time around waterproof it's rated ip68 you can immerse it for up to 30 minutes in fresh water don't go swimming in the ocean with this but you can go to the pool let's get under the hood because there's also changes this time around we are looking at a 5.5 inch screen compared to last year's 5.1 inches same quad HD display same MO lat button colors the blacks of course there's some software tweaks here going on we'll get back to this but let's first talk about the specs real quick you can look them up on the internet any time but just real quick it has a Exynos 88-90 processor compared to d 7420 of last year it's got 4 gigs of ram compared to 3 gigs of ram it's got 32 gigs of storage and most importantly it's got the micro SD card slot right up there it's a dual tray one for two sim one for two micro SD and this time Samsung really innovated the camera on the back is protruding less you don't have a bit of a hump as you had last year it's been reduced it's not completely flushed but it also looks and feels better and since we're talking about the camera it's a 12 megapixel unit versus a 16 megapixel unit last year's model but don't let that fool you we have a new pair of lens which is brighter at F 1.7 compared to have 1.9 from last year and the sensor is life sensitive enough so that you can capture good pictures in very low light situations there's also some changes on the software side we have the always-on display the phone knows whether you are placing it face down or face F of course it has cellar ah meters but you have the information classic information like time.they appointments notifications and so on but once you go ahead and unlock it you'll see the same Samsung knew I slept on top of this time Android 6.0 marshmallow and there are some changes on the edge display too fast and so this is basically a test switcher where you can just go quickly from one application to the other depending on what you would like to use yahoo news is one of the new partners there will be new partners which will do applications that will take advantage of the edge screen so expect to see more of that in the future of course fingerprint scanner is there but heart rate monitor is there everything is the same and yes you will probably not be able to tell it apart from the galaxy s6 edge+ there's a different video for that on Pocket now this is as much as we could fit in to this hands on video evidently night coming to you from Barcelona thank you very much for watching go look at the other videos we have for you they're interesting the pocket now's MWC 2016 coverage is made possible by the brand manufacturer of precision cut vinyl skins for smartphones tablets laptops gaming consoles and more if you're looking to customize the appearance of your device and add a bit of protection and grip check out the brand comm slash MWC or visit the link in the description below
