Available since March 11, the Galaxy S7 (699 euros) and S7 Edge (799 euros) have already been shelled by us in two separate tests. However, it may be difficult for some to choose between the two terminals only 100 euros separated. So what criteria to base?

• Design: S7 Edge
  No doubt about it, the S7 Edge is certainly the most aesthetic of both model. This is largely due to its curved screen that wraps the edges of the device. Samsung is the only manufacturer on the market to offer such a feature. Always good to take while smartphones have increasingly tend to resemble
• Task. S7
  Samsung has made real progress grip between Edge and S7 S6 Edge. The sharp edges of the first no longer exist and therefore are more rude. The builder also uses these curved edges to add a nonexistent functionality on the S7: shortcuts that displays by dragging a finger from the left edge of the screen. Thus access their tasks and more frequent contact or to the main news headlines. In reality, Samsung could very well also integrate the S7, its absence is more a choice that marketing technique.
  Despite this additional function, the S7 Edge screen remains fickle and can sometimes be triggered inadvertently by the palm of his hand touching the edge of the unit. Annoying
• Autonomy. S7 Edge
  Despite its larger screen, the S7 Edge (5.5 inches) is far ahead of his younger brother (5.1 inches) on autonomy. Thanks to a battery of 3600 mAh against 3000 for the S7. In
  versatile self test lab 01net.com the S7 Edge has posted 1:13 p.m. against 10:04 for the S7. What comfortably hold two full days
• Power. Equality
  Even Exynos 8890 processor, same graphics chip Mali T880 MP4, same RAM and 4GB definition screen of 1440 x 2560 pixels.
  Both smartphones are technically strictly identical. We thus obtain logically equivalent performance. The S7 and achieves a score of 131 621 in AnTuTu 6 against 131,884 for the S7 Edge, an insignificant difference. Same 3D games, both models go up to 58 frames displayed per second in Epic Citadel
• Photo:. Equality
  Again the two smartphones are equipped with the same Sony 12 megapixel sensor coupled to the same goal to f / 1.7. The results of the shots are strictly identical between the two models. Still, the new S7 are still less than the previous photo series S6. They remain, however, and thankfully, high-performance camera phones.

If you have 100 euros more to spend, the S7 Edge therefore prevails by a short head, thanks to its design more original and much greater autonomy. For the rest, it is exactly the same phone. If you are allergic to curved edges sometimes annoying, so you do not choose a pâtirez S7
