The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge arrived in France on 11 March. The occasion for writing to address the differences that may exist with the Galaxy S6 Edge + launched last September.
PHABLET was presented late February in Barcelona at the mobile World Congress. His arrival in France is imminent (or may be effective when you read this). So we are looking at a first comparison between the two phones that will be updated once we test the phone. This article is based on our handling performed in the Catalan capital and our experience with the Edge S6 + when we tested it a few months ago.

Very few changes to the design
Samsung has finally found his signature design. Edge and Edge + versions of the S6 have won the prize for best design in 2015. It was therefore logical that the firm chooses to renew it for another year. There are still some changes to report. First, the firm has simply one version of Edge against two in 2015. A unique version that combines compactness and ease of use. Small change also in the grip that proves a little more comfortable because the lines are a little more rounded back. For the rest, excellent quality is the rendezvous. As in 2015.
A smaller but better screen
the curved screen Edge S6 + was among the best in its output. It seems that the S7 Edge do better. The DisplayMate site that has shelled there several weeks considers this the best mobile screen he tested! The Quad HD resolution is once again at the rendezvous. It’s just the screen size is reduced from 5.7 to 5.5 inches. Or the same diagonal as the latest iPhone 6S Plus.
More power to the S7 Edge
Samsung has chosen to equip its phone two processors following territories where it sells. Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 for the United States. The Exynos 8890 for Europe and Korea. Both we offer 4GB of memory against three for the Edge +. The new version is naturally more powerful than its predecessor. The gain would be 30%. Nevertheless, the European version is not the fastest on the market. The benchmark AnTuTu platform has delivered its verdict in the first quarter 2016. The Exynos 8890 is behind the A9 Apple and Qualcomm Snapdragon 820. However, do not expect a big difference in use. And with the Edge +? Hard to say. The new version will probably be more responsive, faster, but it should not have big consequences for use. At least in the short term.
The return of the SD card for version 2016
Samsung had annoyed many users in 2015 with abandon micro-SD card slot on the S6 range. Machine back in 2016 with the return of the port and the ability to copy your applications on the card to free up some space. Good news because one version storage S7 seems available in France: the 32GB A little just for driven multimedia applications
A much better camera sensor <..? /> h2>
Samsung has decided to lower the number of pixels on its line S7 from 16 to 12 million. Except that it could prove to be good news because the sensor size has not changed which means the pixels are bigger and able to capture more light. The result looks extremely promising from our first test since Barcelona. Especially in low light conditions. The range S6 was a reference in 2015, S7 and S7 Edge pound the nail in 2016.
The same price at launch
Draw for price of these two phones at launch. They are both set at 799 euros without subscription. The price of the S6 Edge + eased slightly in recent weeks (around 730 euros) but the price gap is too low to tip the balance in favor of the latter. The Edge S7 has technological improvements more than justify the fact to choose and add the 70 euro difference between the two devices.
