If the S6 brought premium design to Samsung's flagship phones, the Galaxy S7 refines and combines those trend-setting good looks with all the features you really wanted from the phones that came before it.

Better battery with vastly improved standby; Smooth; snappy performance; Superfast autofocus; microSD card slot and waterproofing are back; Smoother; more seductive body

No USB-C; TouchWiz still a little fiddly; Too much carrier bloat

The rest of this season's top-shelf models will have a hard time competing with the Galaxy S7. It's another exceptional all-round performance from a Samsung flagship, which takes the best from the company's recent high-end phones and puts it all in a single device.

Premium design and build quality; Superb 5.1-inch QHD AMOLED display; Powerful chipset; great performance; Impressive camera output both stills and video; Very good battery life; fast charging; both wired and wireless

The Galaxy S7 improves on the S6 in meaningful ways and offers a stepping stone into the world of Virtual Reality thanks to Gear VR. It's the best Android phone you can buy, basically

Samsung's Galaxy S7 fixes the main problem of the excellent Galaxy S6, namely the lack of expandable storage, while tweaking other elements such as the gorgeous design to make them even better. The result is a very good flagship phone, although not quite perfect.

Brilliant screen; Gorgeous design; Expandable storage; Strong camera; Top performance

The Samsung Galaxy S7, already Oh, it's very real and it's very fast. But most importantly, it takes the formula seen with the last generation, and instead of completely revamping, makes the necessary tweaks to give a better overall experience.

The best smartphone camera; It's gorgeous (and more ergonomic; Added RAM needed boost; Proof that great cameras can have bumps axed; Water resistance

Touchwiz still finicky at times; Lots of carrier crapware; A gallery for fingerprints

Editors' note (March 28, 2017): Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus, the follow ups to 2016's excellent Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. Priced at $750 (£689 and AU$1,199), the Galaxy S8 features a beautifully curved 5.8-inch screen with an ultra-narrow bezel; facial recognition as an alternative way to unlock the phone; and Samsung's nascent Bixby voice assistant. The S8 Plus costs a bit more -- $850, £779 or AU$1349 -- and comes equipped with a larger body and battery, but is otherwise identical.

The fast, powerful, beautiful Galaxy S7 phone is 2016's all-around phone to beat.

Polished design; Awesome camera; Long battery life; microSD storage slot and water-resistant (again!).

Annoyingly reflective; Smudge magnet; Plastic-looking selfies even with no filter; No removable battery, which isn't surprising, but is still a compromise compared to 2014's S5.

Very Very Good product of Samsung

I think it have no problem to use it

Everything in this phone from the processor, software, camera is great but the outside is very fragile and slippery. Today this phone fell out of my pocket during gym and the side bezel got chipped everywhere. I recommend buying case as soon as you buy this phone and be careful of clumsiness.

While the Samsung Galaxy S6 with its new metal chassis was a revolution for Samsung's flagship device, the new Galaxy S7 is more of an evolution. Samsung respects the customer's wishes and brings back some features like the memory expansion as well as the IP68 certification for the case against...

Display - Never be in the dark with an Always On Display Samsung recently trademarked the phrase ‘Always On Display', and as the name suggests the most critical information is always displayed, negating the need to wake the Galaxy S7 up to see notifications, the time and the calendar.
