Today, Samsung has officially unveiled its latest flagship Galaxy S7 smartphones. The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge packed with the latest technology and top-of-the-line hardware components such as; excellent super-fast cameras with dual pixel image sensors, larger batteries and water-resistant sleek bodies.
The Samsung has kept the design of this year Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge similar to last year successors; the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. However, now the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge feature IP68 water and dust proof bodies equipped with Super AMOLED Quad-HD 2.5D arc glass covered screens; 5.1-inch screen for the S7 and curved 5.5-inch for the Galaxy S7 Edge. In addition, the display supports the so-called ‘Always On’ functionality; a feature that always displays time, date and other alert notifications.
The S7 devices have had their batteries pumped up while kept the wireless fast charging technology on-board. The Galaxy S7 comes with a large 3000mAh battery instead of the Galaxy S6’s 2550mAh battery, whereas the Galaxy S7 Edge equipped with a larger 3600mAh; an increase by 1000mAh to the previous S6 Edge model. Both long-lasting batteries are built-in, therefore they are non-removable.
In the Camera department, both S7 devices are equipped with dual pixel image sensor 12-Megapixel rear cameras as opposed to the 16-Megapixel found in the S6 devices.

There is also a 5-Megapixel front-facing shooter with a flash.
