Comparison review
The Galaxy S7 is slightly better than Galaxy S6 edge+, having a 79.5 score against 79.3. Although Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S6 edge+ were only released with a couple months difference, the Galaxy S7 design is thicker but also just a bit lighter. Galaxy S7 counts with a bit better looking display than Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, because although it has a bit smaller screen, and they both have exactly the same 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution, the Galaxy S7 also counts with a little bit greater pixels density.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 counts with a quite bigger memory capacity to store more games and applications than Galaxy S6 edge+, because although it has only 32 GB internal storage, it also counts with an external memory card slot that admits a maximum of 200 GB. Samsung Galaxy S7 features a little faster CPU than Galaxy S6 edge+, and although they both have a 4 GB RAM, the Samsung Galaxy S7 also has a greater number of cores (and they are faster).
Galaxy S6 edge+'s battery lifetime is very similar to the battery life in Galaxy S7. Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ has just a bit better camera than Galaxy S7, because although it has a tinier back camera sensor taking worse quality photos and videos and a smaller aperture which is not nice for taking photographs or video in low-light situations, and they both have the same 30 frames per second video frame rate and the same video definition, the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ also counts with a camera in the back with way more MP.
Despite of being the best phone in this comparison, Galaxy S7 is also a lot cheaper, making it very easy to pick between these phones.
