Samsung Galaxy S7

The Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge are Android-based smartphones manufactured, released and marketed by Samsung Electronics. The S7 series served as the successor to the Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, S6 Active and S6 Edge+ released in 2015. The S7 and S7 Edge were officially unveiled on 21 February 2016 during a Samsung press conference at Mobile World Congress, with a European and North American release on 11 March 2016. The Samsung Galaxy S7 Active was unveiled on 4 June 2016, and released on AT&T in the United States on 10 June 2016.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 was an evolution of the prior year's model, with upgraded hardware, design refinements, and the restoration of features removed from the Galaxy S6, such as IP68 certification for water and dust resistance, as well as expandable storage with a MicroSD card. Succeeding the S6 and S6 Edge+, respectively, the Samsung Galaxy S7 was produced in a standard model with a display size of 5.1-inch (130 mm) as well as an Edge variant whose display is curved along the wide sides of the screen and also has a larger 5.5-inch (140 mm) display. For the S7 series, Samsung did not produce a direct 5.1-inch (130 mm) S6 edge successor. The S7 Active features a thicker and more rugged frame, with an increased battery capacity. The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are the last two phones in the Samsung Galaxy S series to have a physical home button with a front-sided fingerprint sensor embedded in the button. The S7 Active is the last in the Active series to feature three physical buttons with the fingerprint reader embedded home button, when not considering the prematurely discontinued Galaxy Note 7. It is the last phone in the Samsung Galaxy S series to be equipped with a microUSB port, which has since been replaced with USB-C technology. The Galaxy S7 Edge was the last Edge model until the S25 Edge.
