At the unpacking event, Samsung CEO D.J. Kho revealed t the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain the innovative features that will come with their latest models of Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S series. The two phones are not too different from the Note 5 nor the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus – the two phones released in the fall of 2015.

The Galaxy S7 has a flat 5.1in screen but a curved glass back, while the larger Galaxy S7 Edge has a 5.5in screen that is curved at the left and right-hand edges. LG is offering a greater megapixel count with its 16-megapixel rear camera compared to Samsung’s 12-megapixel shooter. Firstly, the company said microSD card slots are used to transfer data from a phone to another device, and making it a part of the internal memory could hinder that. The Game Mode feature allows mobile gamers to optimize screen longer gaming experience minus the unwanted interruptions. It can also be submerged in water up to 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes.
Whether you want the Galaxy S7 for $672 ($28 per month) or the Galaxy S7 Edge for $792 ($33 per month), you’ll be able to pick up either a smartwatch or VR headset at no additional cost.
We know that the Galaxy S7’s Samsung’s selling in the United Kingdom will be the versions that feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 quad-core CPU, which has a maximum clock speed of 2.2GHz. Both the devices are expandable up to 2TB and are waterproof.
The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge will come in four color options – black onyx, gold platinum, white pearl, and silver titanium.

Galaxy S7 can be preordered starting February 23 and get a Gear VR, which was about $99, for free in preorder between on the said date to March 11. It’s likely though that grey market importers will take the opportunity to bring in the model, albeit at a higher price than if it were to be brought in officially.
