Almost complete absence of absence of keys, a thin, tight seams, discover the IP68 protection against dust and water plus appearance, workmanship and design really there’s nothing critical. Of course, there is also question of fingerprints collected, in front of the coating technology breakthrough, it is estimated that there will not be much improved, right when it is a pretty good price.

Ultra thin border + dual curved screens, light up the screen’s Visual impact is very shocked.
Even a 5.5-inch screen, 157g of normal weight, one hand lie too little pressure, but looks like is not party-proof touch-optimized, one-hand operation with greater hit probability.
Other exterior changes include:
State line canceled the positive version of the Samsung logo
Fingerprint identification button becomes more upright but change little in the area of
Black Edition does not have the previous generation of blue light, quiet a lot, but there is still a vertical reflective tape.
White became “Pearl White” light will also see vertical reflective tape, than the previous generation of shiny
Into a 3000mAh battery, S7 is thicker than the S6/S7 edge
Join the IP68 protection against dust and water!!!

System
System information
S7 edge powered by a Android6.0.1-based TouchWiz, the latter after drastic streamlining of the S6 generation and the following year joined the single-level desktop options, desktop sort, rights management, and many fit the city, features and improvements of the situation, ease of use and has a very big improvement on the ground level.

Drop down bar and quick switch
S7 on the edge of the most obvious changes is the drop down bar into a blue and white color scheme, slide can expand all the shortcut keys. Hermes iPhone cover
System management and self-start control
Floating information and advanced features page
Country-specific micro-suspension Windows and information, without access to the application will be able to view and respond to, used to say. In addition, dial/screenshots, wave mute and other special functions are integrated into the “advanced features”, and as part of the Galaxy lab.
Gaming assistants
This is the S7/S7 edge features introduced first, provided through the floating window “shield returns and multi task button, screenshot, video screen” function, a single screen returns and multitask keys function, estimated could attract a lot of users to open the function.
Qu Bing settings page
Qu Bing Panel provides more plugins, you can customize the transparency and the trigger position.
Qu bing of the compass, a common program and calendar plugin
Plug-in area has significantly improved, growth of the list into two columns, and practical than the first generation a lot.
Interest rate alert
Rate alert also features introduced for the first time, AMOLED display black not power-hungry features to shine here. Style is somewhat similar to the Moto x, but many details on the differences:
Show things from time to time will move a certain distance on the screen, preventing some pixels affected by long light life;
Detailed display of content to choose from, calendar, notifications are optional items and even had a bunch of background pattern can be selected;
Can always stay lit, phone into a clock, aiming to know the time at a glance, without waves triggered;
No reaction to the touch-screen, although not hit it, but it still needs the power button or Home button wake the phone, unfortunately.
For many people, this feature opens in the evening might not mean much, hoping later added the timing off the modified feature.
System also has a lot of little details like the desktop automatically arrange improvement, will not repeat them here. In addition, the S7 edge with SIM cards the ability to hot-swap, swap cards without restart like a previous generation. And press the backlight temporarily not provide controlled, OCD can download Galaxy Button Lights control (without the background of permanent, you can modify the light or close).
Screen
Problem could not be determined because individual differences is set-up, we get the S7 edge machine relative to the screen Note5, and S6 edge+ losing ground. Full screen white manual about 330 nits brightness, automatic mode light stimulation can soar to around 530 nits, narrow white area up to a maximum of 720 nits.
100 nits close to the daily use of test mode, S7 edge cover 97.7% of sRGB color gamut, 104 color average deltaE 2.9, Note5 is 1.8,S6 edge+ is 2.6.
Performance
SoC information capture
S7 edge powered by Xiao long 820+4GB LPDDR4@1866MHz +UFS 2.0 dual channel memory storage. Xiao long 820 (MSM8996) using Samsung 14nm FinFET technology, Qualcomm Kryo independent schema, consisting of 2 1.59GHz small nucleus and 2 2.15GHz core, GPU to Adreno 530.
In practical tests, compared with a Exynos7420 mycophenolate mofetil Note5, carrying long Note 810 millet Hat Edition, powered by Unicorn Mate8 and pick up of the 950 A9 iPhone 6s Plus. Detailed score compared to stamp our running Gallery.
CPU performance test
GPU graphics performance tests
Storage performance testing
Pictured right for millet 5 read/write performance testing
CPU performance, using long 820 of the S7, mycophenolate mofetil and millet on the edge 5, GeekBench 3 single core running substantially ahead of Android platform SoC, but because of the small number of core and system control, PI, RAR, and SunSpider (Web performance tests) even better Xiao long 810, and Exynos/7420 kylin 950 gap is more pronounced. Strange is that S7 edge can run the highest frequency in the RAR compression test, but SoC millet 5 scores and there is a gap, unspecified reasons.
GPU performance, Adreno graphics performance of 530 is the most powerful mobile SoC, it even beat and kicked off and the gap between Apple’s A9. S7 edge on the GPU score even higher than the millet 5 may of copper pipe heat sink and larger fuselage already have reason, but certainly is, it now is the strongest mobile graphics performance, and no one.
Storage performance (direct impact daily opening speed), the S7 edge/Note5/millet 5 USF2.0, Mate8 eMMC5.1, millet Note flagship for eMMC5.0, although the algebra of memory chips are not the same, but different vendors set-up also opened a clear gap. Our S7 edge of sequential read performance is weaker than Note5 (millet 5 high points may be the test machine has 64GB to save storage), we’ve started to doubt the machines of various physical problems, but the good sequential write speed of the machine.
By AndroBench to test random read/write performance, S7 edge and millet 5 performance is not very good, looks like Xiao long 820 UFS2.0 random read/write performance is not very good.
CPU Burn left and right for the GPU GFLOPS
Test with @ioncannon produced the GPU and CPU Burn GFLOPS, multi-threaded floating point performance in 103GFLOPS, mean power consumption 5W peak but 7.3W;GPU GFLOPS to about 297, power close to the 5.2W. CPU and GPU power consumption a bit exaggerated (can test software is incorrect, for reference purposes only).
On the stability of S7 rarely maintained his edge in this test 2.15Gz the highest frequency, are basically small nuclear 1.7GHz+ nuclear 1.4GHz of frequency in the run, approximately 85 seconds, respectively, down to a small nuclear 1.5GHz+ nuclear 1.3GHz. This is most likely the CPU than millet 5 (120GFLOPS) lower, but more thermal stability reasons.
GPU rendering curve (green lines represent more than 60 frames per second)
Curve of metaphysics, S7 edge better, plus may be the reason Android 6.0-specific set-up, sliding animation/inertia of the machine and feel a bit like iPhone, smooth look good.
In General, mycophenolate mofetil Dragon 820 boost a single core performance, GPU upgrade is the rage and improved thermal stability, actual experience difficult to perceive it and Note5 speed differences, but as in the past, two versions of the practices, 8990 version may have better performance.
Photos
Left for the European version G935F screenshot, right for the Kingdom G9350 screenshots
Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 ISOCELL edge using the Sony IMX260 and Samsung (S5K2L1) two versions of the sensors, this test uses Galaxy S7 retail edge line is using the Sony IMX260. They are 1/2.5-inch 1.4 μ m per pixel size, F1.7 aperture the lens support optical image stabilization, but the number of pixels is reduced to 12 million.
All questions can be condensed into two points: the critical eye has decreased during the day? Low light imaging has been strong to a what kind of measure? Special photo of the test before you can stamp evaluation, the following is a thumbnail version. Click on images to view a larger image.
Photo experience
Camera interface: you can still automatically identify HDR or landscape, users press the button would be nice. The app and in the function and appearance of Note5, S6 is not very different from here would not go into details.
Focusing: focusing the IMX260 equipped with a dual-system (Dual Pixel, order in the most famous case was the Canon SLR 70D), all pixels can be used for focusing, can be loosely thought of as violent phase of enhanced focus. Focusing performance can only be used for actual days of a second of the machines to describe it.
Whether it is day or ultra weak light you can extremely quickly, and this focus soon iPhone 6s, feels slow clap in front of it. Its extremely low light (Club level of weak light) speed, even more so than many thousands without phase focusing faster focusing speed during the day … … Basically, the goal-oriented moments will be able to press the shutter, manual focus again this kind of thing, has no meaning to S7 edge.
Imaging speed and previous generations, and there is no obvious distinction, triggered after the night mode speed slightly slower even than S6 edge. Because pixel reduction of the sample sizes in the past generation of 5-6Mb/into 3-4Mb/, for user storage space is tight, this should be good news. While the proofs the same small +ISP upgrade (rumor two sensor versions are using Samsung ISP image sensors), but Imaging speed and the difference between previous generations.
Set EXIF information compared
Deterioration of the upper-left edge contrast
Wide angle: iPhone equivalent focal length of 6s 29mm,S6 edge 28mm, S7 edge Samsung wide angle will be extended even to the 27mm equivalent focal length. Smaller focal length, wide angle, the greater, the effect is that S7 edge get the scope larger than the other two machines,.
Edge imaging: S7 edge F1.7 mega aperture, outside of wide-angle distortion change significantly, however, deterioration of the edges slightly, deterioration of control between iPhone 6s and S6 edge without optical image stabilization, a satisfactory performance.
Glare control: the difference between S7 and S6 edge edge, but iPhone 6s performance is relatively better. This, of course, no optical image stabilization and the latter has a certain relationship.
White balance and metering

Daylight scene 2
Lighting scene 1

Low light and ultra low light scene 1
Low light and ultra low light scene 2
Low light and ultra low light scene 3
Light meter: iPhone 6s metering slightly darker, low light is the apparent brightness less than S6 S7 edge and edge and under normal light metering are very close during the day, with the naked eye can see closer, S7 edge night mode is triggered in ultra low light scenes will have a very clear light;
White balance: iPhone 6s in most scenes have a tendency to blue, S6 edge is warm in some of S7 edge is bluish, which is not very big, but when people take food and S6 edge hair color will be more flattering.
Saturation contrast: S6 edge is a restored reality style, picture contrast and saturation are looked seen transfer, iPhone a little showy, and S7 edge is the color tuning the most beautiful of the three.
Critical eye
For a cell phone, number of pixels are fixed, wide angle the greater number of pixels the same scene would fall, thereby affecting the critical eye. Can predict is that if the same conditions, wide angle biggest S7 edge, its critical eye than S6 edge, even iPhone 6s low.
All proofs below the focus is right in the Middle, are central to enlarge. All proofs in accordance with ISO and shutter, light flow from strong to weak:
Daylight scene 1
Daylight scene 2
Daylight scene 2
Daylight scene 3
Lighting scene 1
Lighting scene 2 (S7 edge sharpen even the font edges, white edges)
Lighting scenes 3
Low light scene 1
Low light scene 2
Low light scene 3
Very low light scene 1
Very low light scene 2
Very low light scene 3
Very low light scene 4
Analysis of sunlight: perhaps it was in response to the critical eye drop caused by wide-angle S7 increases edge sharpening RADIUS and intensity, sharpening is obvious (even the font edges appear white in the scene 12), direct edge is clear, high contrast, but still cannot completely hide the unit features the problem of insufficient number of pixels. Sharpness is only iPhone and 6s have their own victory, fewer details than S6 edge, and critical eye Note5 is all the more pressure to the top of the Grand. In addition, when zoomed in scene to the same size, S7 edge magnification is always larger than the others, the picture noise is the most obvious.
Analysis of lighting: Interior and strong light, contrast iPhone 6s and S6 S7 edge edge is still vulnerable, but the turning point probably appears in scene 13 (this scene light intensity similar to the exhibits illuminate the lights in the Museum, is a lot weaker than normal light). Under this scenario, S7 edge only 160 of the ISO, while the other two machines in the 200. Further down the low light scene, their shutters/ISO gap is more evident, S7 edge also dominated, and the weaker the greater.
Low light and extreme low light: here is the S7 edge area of the absolute, especially under extremely low light night mode was fired, although the picture to mention they shine like night vision and noise, but do see a lot of other mobile phones and even the naked eye cannot see the details. For pubbing, or many of the night scenes, shoot than shoot much more important as the naked eye can see, the author of the Samsung is also supportive of this algorithm.
Samsung Galaxy S7 edge pictures, summarizing it’s easy: day than the previous generation, extremely low light performance rage. Machine-wide angle, image sharpness, contrast, saturation, are high. Critical eye and strong lights during the day, analysis of the lost iPhone 6s (the latter day performances and iPhone 6s Plus close), and their Android flagship has a gap in his family; low light performance and very low light scenes unprecedented ferocity, much faster than S6 edge, made a follow-up models may have a difficult time beyond the benchmark of low light Imaging.

Battery life and heat
S7 edge 3600mAh battery, history of the flag ship Samsung maximum battery capacity. Although different SoC but Note5 3000mAh battery has also made a very good battery life, all of S7 edge battery life expectations are naturally lower.
After a 30-minute games (NBA 2K15), 30 minutes of 4G and WiFi Internet access (including Web browsing, Twitter, paste it every 10 minutes), 1-hour music playback and a 30-minute local video playback, 3 hours of battery life tests, the machine residual capacity up to 79%, completely refresh the previous record and significantly faster than contemporary opponents, were very brutal.
In the system of updating to APBB, connection WiFi and Shenzhen Unicom 4G card environment, closing interest rate alert, 6 hours of standby power consumption of 0%. Follow-up we will catch up on regular 8-hour standby electric power statistics and interest rate alert, after opening, so stay tuned.
Charge speed record
7%-100% full time 1 hour, 33 minutes, half an hour filling to about 50%, about 1 hour charger 80%, charging is not obvious because of the battery capacity growth decline, very successful. From the charge curve can be seen, the machine a little trickle charge after the time, for faster speeds. Charging room temperature around 20 degrees, the battery sensor records temperatures to 36.2 degrees, better temperature control.
Crazy good battery life and charging, and let the machine to the charging demand is not high, a kind of endless illusion for electricity use. For heavy users is definitely a plus to improve quality of life project.
Heating, the machine some games when the temperature is lower than normal models, is only warm hand level, positive temperature 35.6 degrees, 31.7 degrees on the back, very good performance. In addition, the uniform heating of the machine, and temperatures often beat.
Worth noting is that machine runs and RAR compression heating of large operations, such as fast, or even specific locations according to the heating area direct perception SoC. Even with hot tube, mycophenolate mofetil 820 Dragon’s power is still relatively large. Of course, the only representative of the Xiao long 820, 8890 release might have better power performance.
Summary
Emperor as first half of 2016 An Zhuoji, S7 edge performance is remarkable. Outstanding design and workmanship, double-curved-screen +IP68 + Super narrow border protection against dust and water, these are the selling points of rivals can match, the AF and low light performance image and battery performance is called the inverse day.
And other brand of mobile phones get extra points because of Xiao long 820 features different, Samsung S7 edge but because Xiao long 820 and pulled down part of the score, this is the year round on top of Android manufacturers and other gaps between manufacturers.
While some friends and we were all on the operation performance, screen, and critical eye as expected during the day and find it difficult to accept, but other projects are still unsurpassed. There is no doubt that it is really An Zhuoji Emperor on active service, or even “Android” two words can be omitted. Its opponents, may Exynos left 8890 version of himself.
