The most anticipated phone of the year is here – so is it any good? Samsung’s big design leap forward last year, with the launch of the Galaxy S6 edge smartphone, was remarkable. At a stroke, the accusation that Samsung only made plasticky handsets that weren’t as high-end as the tech they housed, was kicked into touch. Samsung’s class was undeniable.
The sloping edges on each side of the screen made the phone strikingly different from anything else on the market. So no surprise that this year’s S7 edge looks almost the same.
