Samsung releases small but urgent update for Galaxy S7 edge

After the critical and commercial disappointment that was the Galaxy S5 and the largely transitional, yet much-improved Galaxy S6, Samsung's Galaxy S7 appears to be the legitimate iPhone-beater and best smartphone of 2016.

Summing up, those of you interested in purchasing a Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge from T-Mobile are eligible to receive a second Galaxy S7 / Galaxy S7 Edge of "equal or lesser value free with Prepaid MasterCard card." .

Verizon is offering S7 and S7 Edge for a 2-year monthly installment plan that requires $28 and $33 to be paid every month for the both phones respectively. It's not clear when the updates will begin rolling out to the AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon models of the GS6 and GS6 edge, but now that Sprint is starting its pushes, the other carriers shouldn't be too far off.

"These new Samsung Galaxy devices are loaded with sweet new features, and when you put them on T-Mobile's 4G LTE network, you have the best combination of cool hardware and a screaming fast network", said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile.

If you're wanting to head into the water, the devices can handle 30 minutes and 1.5 meters under.

"I feel proud when I see the evolution of mobile devices that we have brought from our first mobile phone in 1988 to the current series of Galaxy S smartphones".

Samsung Galaxy S7 has a 2560 X 1440 (534ppi) 5.1-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display while S7 Edge has a 2560 X 1440 (577ppi) 5.5-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display.

Experts from CNET also tested the Samsung Galaxy S7's camera against its great rival, Apple's iPhone 6sPlus.

The launch in India, which comes within two weeks of the global unveiling, will help the company bolster sales to buck the slowdown in the global smartphone industry growth.

Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge users who own two SIM cards can now swap between their main and backup lines any time they want.

Both the handsets sport a 12 megapixel rear camera and a 5 megapixel selfie shooter.

Noel Leeming says with a dedicated game control centre, gameplay recording and the S7 and S7 edge's powerful processors, "mobile gaming just got highly realistic". In both cases, the batteries can't be removed but there is a fast wireless charging option.
