Samsung Galaxy S7 features
The big news in features is that Samsung has listened to fans and brought back two of the Galaxy range's most beloved features - expandable storage and full IP68 water and dust-proofing.
Both the S7 and S7 Edge come withAndroid Marshmallow out of the box and while the TouchWiz interface is still overlaid over the top of it, it is significantly more user-friendly than it was in previous generations. The S7 should also be near the front of the queue for an update to Android N when it launches.
Samsung Galaxy S7 camera and photos
The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge both feature a 12-megapixel rear camera with Samsung's Dual Pixel technology and 5-megapixel front camera, both with f1.7 aperture. It's by far the best Android camera around, and it's the equal of Apple's superlative iPhone 6s camera in basically every way.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Display
The Galaxy S7 has stuck with the same 5.1in display (5.7in for the Edge) and QHD resolutionas the Galaxy S6, which is no bad thing. While there are a couple of oversaturation issues, the S7's screen is one of the best around.

For other geographies,the S7 will run on an octa-core (2.3GHz Quad + 1.6GHz Quad) 64 bit 14 nm processor, while others will get a quad-core (2.15GHz Dual + 1.6GHz Dual) 64 bit 14 nm chip.All versions will come with a minimum of 32GB of storage and 4GB of RAM.
