  • Observations

  • The screen is super sensitive to touches compared to many other devices
  • The fingerprint scanner is excellent
  • Don’t plug it in to charge it when it’s wet – it’s waterproof, but the ports need to dry before charging
  • The phone does not float
  • The LED notification light is useful (and a dying breed with modern smartphones)
  • Your palm touches the back and recently used apps buttons quite easily and takes a bit of getting used to
  • The camera app is one of the best available on Android – excellent in full auto, but with enough settings to do it all yourself too
  • Samsung Pay will come to the UK this year, including the S7 Edge
  • Ultra power saving mode more than doubles battery life, but only allows limited functionality when active. Great for long trips without a plug
