Packaging equipment
Unfortunately, the smartphone has arrived in the editorial office in the so-called commercial version. Not sure if the user equipment is the same, but, nevertheless, briefly tell you about it. Thus, the kit includes an adapter for fast charging, maintaining the amperage 2 A at 5 V and current of 1.67 A at 9 V. Also included is a micro-USB cable and USB-adapter, with which you can transfer data from one device to another (Smart Switch function). It is worth noting that we did not have complete sets and staples for SIM-card slot. The latter will probably be. The presence of stereo headphones with a microphone we know nothing.

Appearance
Samsung Galaxy S7 edge as amazing as last year did first S6 edge, and then the S6 edge +. Then we saw two whole device with a curved front screen with different diagonals - 5.1 and 5.7 inches. This year, the Korean company has chosen a middle ground and released a device with a diagonal of 5.5 inches
To the Editor smartphone arrived in the colors of "Black Diamond", looking very stern. There are other options: "Dazzling platinum" and "titanium silver".
Most of the front surface is the display, above it - the front camera and sensors. Samsung logo located under the speaker.
Below are two classic touch keys: "Back" and "Menu", and in the middle - a hardware home button with an integrated fingerprint reader. A small detail: in the past generation home button chrome trim allocated in S7 edge it does not, so the device looks monolithic.
The display is covered with a curved safety glass. It will not go away edging aluminum frame. On the left side volume keys located on the right - the power button.

At the top end - compartment, which houses a slot for the SIM-card nano is versatile and a second slot for SIM-ki or microSD card.

Below are a 3.5 mm audio jack for headset, speaker grill and micro-USB port. The latter can be called a surprise, as more and more devices on the market are equipped with a connector USB Type-C. But the port is not afraid of water and dust is not needed in the plug.
The rear wall is also covered with glass, and, most importantly, it is also curved at the edges. The smartphone has become about a millimeter thicker, resulting in a seriously increased the volume of the battery and the camera performs at less than a millimeter.
in the center of the top is an updated camera unit, next to him - a flash and the heart rate sensor (heart rate), to which you can put your finger and measure the pulse using the S Health app. Also back is the logo of the manufacturer.

Overall, Samsung Galaxy S7 edge retained all the "chips" of the previous generation of devices, including the WOW-factor of the curved display, but it began to look more interesting, and in black - more concisely and rigorously.

Ergonomics
Dimensions Samsung Galaxy S7 edge determines the diagonal of the display - 5.5 inches. The frame around the display is about 2.5-3 mm. Dimensions of the device - 72,6x150,9x7,7 mm, and weight - 157 grams.


Thanks to the curved glass front and back, the smartphone is very comfortable to hold in the palm of your hand and even quite possible to manage with one hand. Moreover, thanks to the updated design, the metal frame is stopped to cut into the skin, while its thickness decreased significantly laterally.
The button layout is convenient for both left-handed and right-handed: they will be under the thumb and index finger of the left or right hand, depending on the grip holder.


The quality of materials and assembly - is beyond praise. You can complain about, except, to slots for nano-SIM cards and memory cards, as the internal "notch" are made of plastic and elastic.

Screen

The smartphone Samsung Galaxy S7 edge set Super AMOLED display diagonal of 5.5 inches with a Quad HD resolution (2560h1440) and a density of 534 ppi.

High pixel density ensures that the color transitions and pixelation here is absolutely invisible. Display, as usual with the Samsung, you can customize and select the mode: "Adaptive Display", "the AMOLED Movie", "Photo the AMOLED", "main". We stopped at the "Film AMOLED» profile: it is classic solution - there colors look a little more natural, and almost pure white without shades.
Screen superior color reproduction, wide viewing angles and a huge stock of brightness - all this relates to its undisputed advantages. Available oleophobic and anti-reflective coating.
If you look closely to the curved side of the screen when browsing, desktops, will be visible geometric distortion of images and icons, but that can be attributed to the cavils.

The screen is only positive emotions, but most importantly - this is the WOW-factor of the unusual-looking on the curved display content. One gets the impression that the picture and video are becoming more voluminous - it is an interesting sensation.
