Is the new LG G5 a Frankenphone or a transformer?

However, when it comes to buying the Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge, you won’t be able to select which chipset you get in your phone.

Galaxy S7 has a 5.1-inch display while Galaxy S7 edge features a 5.5-inch screen, with both being constructed with 3D glass and metal and sports “Always-On Display”.

Interested in upgrading? Both the S7 and S7 Edge models will be available on March 11. The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge might be the best-looking phones Samsung’s ever produced, and they managed to bring back two of the three features they dropped from the S6. Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg came on stage to talk about how Gear 360 paired with Samsung Gear VR will be the future of consuming 360 videos. The camera is created to make it easy to take all-around photos and videos that can be uploaded on social networking sites.

Heart Rate Sensor: As we have seen on Samsung’s earlier flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S7-family also features a heart rate sensor placed beside the camera module.

Samsung did not make the Galaxy S6 water-resistant like its predecessor, which bummed us out a bit. You can submerge the phones in up to five feet of water, and they won’t break for 30 minutes, which should be enough time to dry them off – or let’s face it, fish it out of the toilet. The public have had a year to recognise the Galaxy S6, and now when they spot an S7 they’ll instantly know it’s a Samsung phone. The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge both feature 12MP rear-facing cameras with Dual Pixel technology, which is similar to the dual-photodiode sensors that some DSLR’s use.

Qualcomm announced Monday that Samsung will use the Snapdragon 820 processor with its integrated X12 LTE modem as well as other Qualcomm wireless technology in the S7 and S7 edge. It also unveiled other companion devices to its smartphones, including the LG Cam Plus, an add-on camera module that gives users physical buttons to operate the phone’s camera, and the LG Smart Controller, which allows users to control drones.

Samsung surprised with the new version of the curved-screen model by bumping up the display size to 5.5 inches from 5.1 inches.
