Samsung Galaxy S7 vs Galaxy S7 edge | Pocketnow

[@Lt.Shineysides89]

getting the normal s7 and an extra 64gb memory card tomorrow ! goodbye iphone its been a painful few years you will not be missed .

[@scr7eam617]

xD

[@i_am_dementia9926]

Get the S7 and spend that extra hundred dollars on a portable charger.

[@FingerFlickenBoy]

And a nice case lol

[@givemyopinion3127]

case with built in battery

[@zerofox6900]

Or gear vr

[@dengmanyang1109]

get s7 16 gigs and then but the extra gigs- cheaper than s7 edge

[@TechnoGeek209]

Deng Manyang s7 and s7 edge both come at 32gb of base storage , there's no 16 gb variant

[@nathanhouston5]

Showed this to a customer today to help them choose their phone, thanks very much!

[@Pocketnow]

+Nathan Houston Haha nice, glad to be of service! ^JR

[@nathanhouston5]

+Pocketnow keep it up 😉

[@matbishopsa]

You work in a Samsung store?

[@nathanhouston5]

+Matthew Bishop work in a phone shop, handy to have these videos for people who sit on the fence.

[@thegangstadr]

Yeah very helpful Jaime as always, reviews on point, just decided to go with the s7 edge, cause I care about display zise and battery life, thanks again Jaime this really helps

[@SomeLuckyboy]

watching this on my Galaxy S8 Edge

[@ShellymanStudios]

How's the battery life and the display?

[@SomeLuckyboy]

+Shellyman 8K™ 4600 mAh battery but still the S8 edge has amoled display dammit

[@ShellymanStudios]

SomeLuckyboy LOL

[@chickennoodles5222]

+Shellyman 8K™ 8k display bruh

[@ShellymanStudios]

Azren Roci It's also PCOLED.

[@glanceali7936]

I think s7 edge is wonderful,only if it is smaller as the regular s7.

[@momodancingqueenslashjokba8942]

*Drops S7* ( Still ok!) *Drops S7 edge* NOOO THE SCREEN IS SHATTERED *cries*

[@GilbertoCervantes1997]

I just love the level of professionalism by Pocketnow.

[@DelReiRock]

Pictures in S7 looks brighter than Edge.

[@muhammadzeeshan9014]

just bought s7... trust me... s7 has a good grip.. one handed operation so easy...

[@scr7eam617]

thanks dude even after 2 years im gonna buy s7 just for ur words even i found both of them for the same prix

[@aliedawnwood]

great review

[@Pocketnow]

+Maria Gomes thanks! ^JR

[@CoolVids19]

I really like how the guy says his own name.

[@broms316]

Fuck yeah dudes. I just jumped ship from iPhone 6 to s7 galaxy edge. Comes in the mail next week!!!! Hi five!

[@darrylprabowo9083]

Kids in 2026 be like "wtf Samsung it's only 4k?, i mean cmon my iPotato has 8k AmoledUhdOledIpsHd display"

[@ledolphinz3942]

what got me was iPotato. :D

[@D2Briggs]

waiting to reply in 10 years, see you in the future

[@socketbyte5348]

more like wtf Samsung is only 8k? I mean cmon my iPotato has 1334x750 retina hd display

[@w3r0ification]

The question is does you galaxy still works 😂 because they get screen burn they don’t last too long

[@andyH_England]

I would save the $100 and just turn off always on screen and battery life will be closer and you will be quids in. However if you find the Edge sexier then that is your choice, however having sold my S6 Edge plus after a few months as I didn't like the feel, I suspect the market will be split between the two variants. Anyway I would just by the S6 at around half the price and put up with the battery life as the S7 isn't much of an upgrade unless you like risking your $1000 in water (no warranty) or need an SD card (pain that you have to take the SIM out every time you want the SD card). These two features are really only for a niche buying group. Those updating from an S4 will be very impressed though so a great phone for upgrading to.

[@sweetxlboyz]

nice review, i would love if you post a video regarding the audio output in loudspeakers. Thanks.

[@infidelgastro]

If you're into beauty and airy, fairy gimmicks, maybe the Edge is for you but if you're more of a function over form individual then the "plain" S7 is the ticket.

[@MrJosh5191]

Subscribed. It seems the host really tried to help us indecisive people

[@rexluminus9867]

👍Great reviews. Thank you.

[@mirilovely7351]

i want the normal s7. i feel that the unnecessary edge will get on my nerves. and it's too big for my taste. i don't really care about the battery. also, the screen on the edge is much more sensitive to scratches. and i don't care that the edge is more water resistant. both are great. but the s7 is just enough for me.

[@TonyBelas]

i think you are correct. i have the edge version and its a fantastic phone, but seems to me to be too long. it sticks out of the top of jeans pockets and in the front pocket falls where my leg bends. the edge feature is of no use and i do not use it. however it does look better than the standard and the battery life is amazing. i end the day at over 50% which also tells me that the standard battery would do fine for my use.

[@samirabouzelam3337]

TONY BELAS

[@2stone939]

Miri xoxo I have the s7 is a pretty phone ... but I like edge better is just looks sexy...s7 is like that pretty girlfriend and the edge is the hot sister lol

[@kamao1268]

sensitive also from the pink line issue

[@FlowmotionWasTaken]

I already know this video is gonna blow up. good to know I was one of the first 42 to see it.

[@mohammedabraruddin9779]

Superb video guys i would love to see more videos like this

[@wolvieinactive]

I like the regular s7 it's more compact and still pretty big

[@markngamthangrum1321]

Can anybody tell me the game he's playing at 3:59? Reminds me of a vdo game i used to play as a kid.

[@Bilnuran]

Mark Ngamthangrum Sky force

[@TheGodfatherUk]

Nice job Jaime...Compare against the 6P please!

[@MrTehnoGuy]

I would totally recommend the Edge variant. The bigger and curved screen coupled with the bigger battery is well worth the extra 100$ when you are already spending this kind of money on a phone. I've seen people around the Web getting 10 hours of screen on time. That's awesome.

[@gameraddict4life]

one of the reasons I went for the edge variant. but that camera though is a huge disappointment. I think it has to do with that Sony isocell

[@kitteav]

Can you do a pro and con video of touchwiz versus pure android?

[@g41thomas]

this was the best review by far. quality review for quality phone ...thank you

[@stevek9943]

I had both. Ended up with the S7 because that blue glare on the sides of the edge got really annoying. After having a Note for a few years its nice being back on a one-handed phone...

[@RealAndres143]

@Pocket now, are you planning to have a duel S6 Edge plus (Marshmellow) vs. S7 Edge? I only see few difference Battery, .2 inches screen difference, Micro SD card support? am I missing anything else?

[@DashCameraEye]

I have small hands so I prefer the s7. Would be nice if I had a bit bigger hands to hold bigger phones XD

[@VoodooMadMike41]

Watching this on my S21edge Grand Mega Note Advance Pro Active+ Damn you, year 2030...

[@CTULionel]

Nice review! Will consider which one to buy.

[@waelgamal9856]

can i have a link for the game your were playing on minute 4:00

[@MrBraulio00]

5:00 and you see that all edge variant have a green tint in the screen, the normal s7 have white and not greenish whites.

[@mahmoudwaheed2790]

When will the full review come out ?

[@duncan6626]

Does anyone else comment just in hopes to get likes....

[@hasibrahim]

+Duncan Koziol yeah me sometimes lol

[@narutoso111]

is the problem fixed where you hit the back button with the palm unintentionally while typing?

[@josh.6426]

What song is in the background in the beginning!?

[@syncrovanCos]

Good review ! So if I don't care about design (witch in this case, the Edge is better) and battery life, since I'm traveling in my van and have lot of energy source for charging, I should go with flat version and don't lose anything, right ? I'm most interested in camera, to filming with the gimbal. So if the camera quality is the same, I rather prefer to keep those 100 bucks , in my pocket.

[@ShellymanStudios]

Galaxy S7 Edge all the way.

[@lia2k573]

Hey! Your profile picture is really cool, I was wondering if you could tell me how you made it our give me the source of where you found it. Thanks!

[@ShellymanStudios]

Lia2k You can get it on my Google + page and it's a pinned tweet.

[@miroslavdikov834]

does it worth to upgrade to s7/s7 edge from iphone 6 or should i get the iphone 7 ? (i know that the note isn't safe, but i'm afraid to buy an s7 edge too...)

[@vaxxel4495]

I would either go for the s7 or s7 edge, Iphone 7 is complete garbage compared to these beasts ( coming from an Iphone fan ;) ) And I would really go with the normal instead of the s7 edge but thats your choice, it's just too bulky for me and I dont consider 100$ + more worth it for just a better battery

[@mattcossey]

after finally getting the s7 I can whole heartedly agree, you don't want to put it down. but also like you mentioned you can't stop wiping it off either..

[@AmmyNoUzume]

Need a new phone after my G4 bootloop (bricked). Thinking of S7 since the camera (and vid) is simply amazing. I had the S6 edge for a week and the battery sucked so I swapped for G4. Battery good on both S7s?

[@oliver4339]

What about the Samsung Galaxy s7 Active? When does that come out?

[@Mr360Darren]

i doubt it will, both of these phones are already waterproof as and if you want better protection you can just get a case

[@dcresistance]

+Oliver Baden Jensen I highly doubt there will be one, since the S7 line has waterproofing, and the Edge has the same size battery as the S6 Active.

[@gamewalkthroughs3658]

Dan Cook there is one now

[@Annika-JL]

I choose the S7, and i dont regret it. The phone is a beast, and the camera is sooo good. You have to try it out for yourself. Also, it feels amazing in the hand, you just want to hold it all day lol. Only complaint is the fingerprint scanner, its not that accurete.

[@cnkilts]

I totally agree on all those points. The S7 is the perfect size to use one handed but the fingerprint scanner usually doesn't read my right thumb unless I hold it a certain way.

[@morells09]

2:08 Wow look at the difference!

[@shahmuharramali]

s7 edge best i bought in 2019

[@harlem6365]

Is it worth upgrading from my S5 mini

[@Kensaviation]

hey Jaime, it's two weeks now since you posted pocketnow daily recap.

[@patrykj2283]

as also your comparison is the best on yt

[@cakeknight6269]

the main reason i ditched my htc e8 for the edge is because of the mind blowing quality, the amazing processor, the HUGE BATTERY (I mean it's amazing. yesterday i took my phone off the charger at 7am and reached 10% by 11pm even with me using apps and KZbin.) and the perfect camera quality. I'm loving this phone more and more everyday!

[@josesaucedo7533]

got the black onyx edge, one question, i heard that having a large gig mini sd card improves performance, is this true? bc right now im using an 8 gig card.

[@neoqueto]

Who else noticed the 5POIL ME license plate on that Merc?!

[@DDarkNut]

Does s7 support samsung VR or its only for s7Edge?

[@MonoxyThe]

Both support

[@potato5959]

If I had to choose I'd choose the S7 Edge since it's bigger but I'm waiting for the Note 6.

[@sandrovicca4188]

This game is Galaga?

[@Pocketnow]

+Sandro Vicca it's like Galaga, only better. It's called Skyforce ^JR

[@sandrovicca4188]

+Pocketnow Tks!!! Download Now!

[@tieskejansen]

Can you turn off the extra feature menu on the S7 Edge?

[@jsto330]

is this worth upgrading to, from my s6 edge plus?

[@theuncrownedkings5208]

Nah not really

[@enriqueferreira6632]

I think S7 flat is better for me.. that curved display seems gimmicky.. for the record I'm upgrading from an iPhone 5. Please advise, what other options do I need to check out?

[@enriqueferreira6632]

***** Yes, I'm going for the S7 flat.. it has everything I need specially the SD Card option to expand the memory.. I'm not a big fan of the S7 Edge since I don't like the slippery feel to it and for one hand use the S7 flat is a lot more comfortable. I think the S7 flat makes more sense coming from the iPhone 5 don't you think?

[@enriqueferreira6632]

***** Sure, you need to feel the phones in person to make a wise decision... I already did play around with them and I fell in love with the S7 flat.. I really didn't like the curved display on the Edge but that's just me.. I think the S7 flat is a better phone overall.. That curved display is not for everyone, keep that in mind.

[@dreadfulsin4243]

Is that bar there when your on instagram or something. Like ig you swipe does that task bar show up

[@manasgamer3394]

when is this " full review" coming .you been saying this for a long time now

[@Smartsparky]

Do you want a decent review or half hearted?

[@Baleur]

1:42 HUGE white thread of cloth on the display. I mean, seriously guys... It is literally your full-time job to produce high quality videos for youtube and review phones. The least you could do is make an effort?

[@DackxJaniels]

+Baleur Hate to break it to you, man. That's a pube.

[@Pocketnow]

+Baleur well we're not an ad agency either. Our full time job is to review and expose the reality of using a product, not make it look pretty for the sake of visuals. If you have to clean it up constantly, threads all around it come with the territory. ^JR

[@Mr123awesomecoolio]

Calm down, the thread didn't affect the video at all, and that was the only instance of it. Enjoy the damn video

[@ForkNinjaa]

+Baleur Take your panties that are so bunched up and move along. It's a simple thread of cloth. The video wasn't affected in any manner by it. You're just trying to complain about anything.

[@Summon-Zero]

+Baleur I didn't even notice it. Maybe you need to get off your high horse, your Majesty. These are real people just doing their jobs and then there's people like you who get all butthurt about everything. I bet you're that lady with the minivan who demands to speak to the manager because her Frappuccino didn't have enough whipped cream on it. Some people just stare in awe at these kinds of phones and can only hope to own one someday and here you are coming in and making a snob of yourself.

[@Abhishek-zd7ln]

a comparison video between the lg g5 with s7 will be great

[@GaryBeary]

Jaime, since when did you start reviewing phones? I'm used to seeing you doing pocketnow daily. Just saying!

[@kamranhossainzadeh1871]

Guys I'm buying one of these next week, but I don't know which one to choose. Is it worth paying £70 for the edge, or should I just get the s7? Would appreciate any opinions, cheers.

[@user-fq5uw4uj2u]

Looking at this video with the s7 edge:-) What a phone! I love it

[@cytoplasm2k629]

Pocketnow What is the name of this background music cause I love it?

[@matthewharhai4039]

Traded my S7 Edge back in for the S7. I just prefer the non curved screens. I did do a double take when looking at the frame around the display on the S7. It looks crooked in places. I had the rep at the Zagg kiosk look at it and he was starting to see what I was talking about. The tempered glass screen protector that he installed helped things a bit because that protector has a bevel around it. Really surprised at the build quality on this.

[@weeb121]

Nice vid thank you

[@gigaraga]

My new favourite phone. I want one so bad...it's time to retire my Note 3.

[@saugatbastola1206]

Can you tell me what's the price of s7

[@jdadmays]

Got the s7 edge and have to say the extra battery life is awesome. I also like the extra screen size. Will say it's the best android I have used to date. The camera and expandable memory are excellent so glad Samsung listened. The water resistant feature just puts it over the top. But have to say the camera simply the best ever. I truly didn't think they could make it better but they did. Samsung your amazing. Overall spending the extra money for the better battery is well worth it. So happy with my new device.

[@100zz100]

What game was shown ?

[@drmoynihan]

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge !!!!! :) Finally the expandable memory is back, and while no replaceable battery, the 3600 is obviously getting better !!!! So time to trade in my S4. :)> Thank you Jamie, ad we are really looking forward to your full reviews !!! :)

[@Flounder3883]

does anyone know what game that was? with the plane flying around, blasting other planes?

[@GeXExtremist]

HELP. Im going to buy the s7 or s7 edge tomorrow and still dont know what to get! I keep changing my mind by reading reviews. I have heard allot of people saying the edge screen gets in the way when holding the phone and apps etc open up randomly because of it. Is this true? and whats the edge like in the pocket aswell? is it too big. Thankss

[@everywhere3301]

Yeah the opening apps randomly is true but only when you have like wet or greasy hands.

[@pdr9999]

Can't wait for my edge :)

[@diameetinternetfriends1340]

I bought S5 for 165 but wish I waited as I see a S7 edge for 375 second hand, the extra 16GB internal storage and better battery are a plus, and even if something broke just buy parts and use heat gun / adhesive and you can replace battery and screen

[@Chanelmaggiesvlog]

is s7 can open 2 apps at the same time?

[@zakarikous1]

yessss

[@DecanFrost]

I bought the edge, and im not convinced with the camera. My old S5 seams to take more vibrant colored pictures.

[@redmish3453]

Really? I don't know what is better to buy. For me is very important the camera and the battery life. now what you think? is better to buy the edge or the normal one? or the s6 edge or normal s6? mamamia man i gonna drive me crazy with this phones

[@DecanFrost]

+Cool CocaChannel it's still the best buy, hands down.

[@DecanFrost]

Cool CocaChannel i did not like the 6 edge, the back of it was too sharp and if you place it on a class table, you could barely pick it up again.

[@psnKnowledge]

In my opinion 1440p on the 5.5 inch S7 Edge is an improvement in resolution over the 5.1 S7 since your eyes are actually able to see all that resolution regularly. In technical words: you eyes see's more pixels on the S7 Edge even though they usually can't discern them individually.

[@Bruinscelticsandsox]

That camera is DELICIOUS!

[@rahulchandravanshi9948]

hey buddy can you tell about the problems of using a s7 edge variant ... i think keyboard is problematic due to the curved glass...thanks

[@Pocketnow]

+Rahul Raj all works fine here. Again, the edge is an acquired taste ^JR

[@rahulchandravanshi9948]

+Pocketnow thanks. JR

[@user-fq5uw4uj2u]

no problem with the keyboard. i have used the s7 edge for many days now and writing on keyboard is no problem

[@rahulchandravanshi9948]

+Stian that's amazing... So i must go for the s7 edge

[@cknorthpole]

+Rahul Raj yeah, get the edge. there is no issue with the keyboard.

[@donwooss]

Wanna hear a joke? A phone made of glass. Yeah go ahead, put a fugly case on this beautiful phone.

[@yashtech6923]

Which Smartphone I should buy Moto x style or Lg G4

[@bigira]

Non

[@zerofox6900]

LG stylo 2 or One plus 3 for budget buying

[@oneminutewonder77]

The edge idea is pretty cool and all but I just don't see it getting that many supported features for some reason.

[@Benn1234]

There's only one thing that I worry about the edge. You really can't get a tempered glass and I just wonder how expensive the glass repair is with that edge.

[@Leo-yn5fx]

its really expensive.

[@NeptSatoru]

Hey wat about the wrisk wire? like the one on the PSP so it won't fall & crack the screen?

[@dcresistance]

+Pyry Jalonen There were tempered glass screen protectors for the S6 Edge.

[@potatorouter4408]

does the always in mode use battery

[@titanroads6010]

Does wireless charging work with skins on?

[@AnonYmous-fc5fv]

Yeah, the back of the phone just can't be metal. It has to be either plastic or glass.

[@rajataghi]

What game is that?

[@Custnam]

Ive tried the S6, S6 edge, S7 and S7 edge, and with both S6 and S7 I decided to stick with the non edge versions. Just never used the edge features, and saved money as well.

[@islamelgalfy4984]

I got my gs7 edge and I can't wait for your full review so I van explore my new devise

[@DennisChristiani]

waiting for the S8 Edge.

[@MrHakubi]

That burn though...lol

[@sandeepmonish8864]

what is the name of that game played during review

[@imranpushpo]

That's the most convenient review i ever get.

[@raveendrababu4171]

s7 ege looking sexy..over s7 bt overpriced😢😢😢

[@TheAIKnowledgeHub]

as an Android app dev, I'm not going to spend weeks or months making an app based on the edge (or spending a bit of that time to include the edge feature into my apps). The problem comes in, why am I going to spend $100+ hours on a feature that no one is going to be able to use. If Samsung released the edge for all to use, and others take it. Then I'm sure many of us would love to code for it. This is the exact same problem Windows is finding with their phone and Windows 10 apps

[@WestYorkshireGREAT]

As an app developer, what do you think has stopped the Windows operating system from going mainstream and overtaking Apple and Android?

[@TheAIKnowledgeHub]

West Yorkshire A mixture between not enough users, and a pain to make apps on the platforms in the first place (I think most devs would deal with the pain if we can at least make some money) It's again one of those problems on why am I going to spend a load of time making an app that hardly anyone is going to use, and I'm not going to make anything on. In fact, it's not even worth making a Windows UA app for resume material. Windows is never going to be able to go up against Android and Apple, unless if they make a deal with the gov and schools for them to use their product above the others (this is why nearly the entire world uses Windows computers) With this being said, Microsoft needs to really start pushing their Windows 10 store, making events around it, and so on. There is a ton of devs like myself that want to make apps for it. But we will lose money supporting apps that only a handful will use (many major companies have pulled their apps from the Windows 10 store because of this)

[@olddaysareover]

dbrand is everywhere!

[@EricV485]

Does anyone know if "Ok Google" works with the screen off? This feature has NEVER worked with Samsung phones.

[@carolinebenton5106]

Nope, not on my s7 edge

[@EricV485]

+Caroline Benton Dammit. I wish Samsung would get rid of that stupid S Voice crap
