Comparison review
Samsung Galaxy S4 has a global score of 79, which is just a bit better than Samsung Galaxy S7 edge's 78.1 score. Samsung Galaxy S4 is an extremely older and a bit thicker device than Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, but Samsung could make it lighter anyway. Both of these phones come with Android OS (Operating System), but the Samsung Galaxy S4 has 4.4 version and Samsung Galaxy S7 edge has Android 8.0 Oreo version.
The Samsung Galaxy S4's processor is very similar to the Galaxy S7 edge one, because although the Samsung Galaxy S4 has a lower amount of RAM memory, and they both have the same number of cores, it also counts with a graphics co-processor. The Samsung Galaxy S4 has a little bit better screen than Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, although it has a way lower 1920 x 1080 resolution, a little worse display pixels density and a bit smaller screen.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 features a quite bigger storage capacity to store more games and applications than Galaxy S7 edge, because although it has an external memory slot that admits a maximum of 64 GB against 200 GB, it also counts with 64 GB internal storage capacity. Galaxy S7 edge shoots a little bit better pictures and videos than Samsung Galaxy S4, because although it has a camera with a worse 12 mega-pixels resolution, it also counts with a way better video definition, a bigger back-facing camera sensor capturing more light and vivid colors and a much larger camera aperture to capture better captures in low-light environments.
Galaxy S7 edge features a really longer battery lifetime than Samsung Galaxy S4, because it has 3600mAh of battery capacity.
Despite of being the best phone in this comparison, Samsung Galaxy S4 is also a lot cheaper, making this phone a great choice.
