Samsung unveils its 2016 flagship phones, the S7 and S7 Edge

Samsung unveiled its 2016 flagship phones, the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. The phones feature similar specs, but the Edge has a large display that is curved around the edges (a flexible OLED of course) and a larger battery.

The Galaxy S7 sports a flat 5.1" 2560x1440 (577 PPI) Super AMOLED display, an 12MP camera (with a new high-performance sensor), 4GB of RAM, 32/64 GB of storage, optional dual-IM, NFC and a 3,000 mAh battery. The phone has a metal and glass body and is IP68 water resistance (up to 1.5 meters for 30 min).

The Galaxy S7 Edge sports a curved 5.5" 2560x1440 (535 PPI) flexible Super AMOLED display, and similar specs. The battery offers a larger capacity at 3,600 mAh.

Samsung did not yet reveal the price or release date of the new phones, but we'll know more soon!

5.1"-534ppi,5.5"-577ppi? Is it correct?

Let's hope it doesn't use PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) for brightness control. It causes a lot of people migraines and eye pain(including me). See tftcentral or laptopmedia for details.

Let's hope it doesn't use PWM for brightness as Samsung Galaxy S6 did with a low frequency of 240hz. PWM causes migraines and eye pain to a lot of people(including me).

By the way I own a LG Flex 2 with P-OLED display that doesn't use PWM. I can use it for hours at a time without any issues. Somehow LG manged to create an oled display that doesn't need PWM to overcome burn-in issues. Let's hope it will also use it in future smartphones like the V10 successor.

Oops, that was obviously a mistake. This is now fixed, thanks!
