After seeing the side-by-side comparison, we learn that the two siblings almost share identical specs except for the display size and battery capacity. The Galaxy S7 has a 5.1-inch display while the S7 Edge carries a 5.5-inch screen. Being an Edge model, the glass display curves outward on the sides just like last year’s flagship.
Those, plus the bigger 3500mAh battery is what changed for the Galaxy S7 Edge. Would you prefer the bigger variant or will you be settling for the smaller S7?
