Additionally, a 65-nanometer sensor and 28-nanometer logic chip will reportedly allow for a thinner design for the phone.

The new devices have already seen stronger than expected pre-order figures, according to Koh Dong-jin, president of Samsung’s handsets business, since the public were able to register their interest on February 22.

“If I could fly to South Korea and find the Galaxy S7’s designers I’d give them a well-deserved hug”, noted today’s review in SlashGear. You can find more information about T-Mobile’s Galaxy S7 BOGO promo here.

That of the 32GB Galaxy S7 Edge stands at 924,000 won, also down 5.6 percent from its predecessor.

The firm is pretty happy about this, and has taken the opportunity to tell everybody that pre-orders, which finished yesterday with the Galaxy S7 going on general release on Friday, have been bumper.

The latest smartphone from Samsung, Galaxy S7 Edge, borrows the best specs and features of last year’s Galaxy S6 and mixes them into a curved phablet that comes with the dimensions of a normal-sized phone. Both the phones feature a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels. These two devices run on the latest Marshmallow OS with Samsung’s own Touchwiz upon it.

T-Mobile’s offer suggests that the Galaxy S7 can be had for $0 down, while the Galaxy S7 Edge can be had for $59.99 Dollars down. The S6 phones were also not waterproof or dust resistant. Connectivity is ensured by Wi-Fi, LTE, NFC, Bluetooth 4.2, wireless charging and Global Positioning System.

Consequently, the Galaxy S7 got a paltry repairability score of 3/10, which means it’s a tough cookie to crack. First, it expanded the Samsung Pay mobile payment service that can now be used in a dozen online marketplaces as well, including GMarket, Auction and GS Shop.

Other Galaxy S7 specs include Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 or Samsung’s own home grown Exynos 8 Octa processor depending on the market it is retailed in; 4GB of RAM with either 32GB or 64GB of internal storage; and a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera.
