According to Samsung official website, Galaxy S7 has a certified water-resistant rating. It repels spills, splashes and even dunks without a bulky protective case.

The S7 edge features a curved screen, so all you need to do is swipe for instant updates. Samsung says that the Galaxy S7 is the first smartphone with dual-pixel technology, so it captures better photos in low-light environments and focuses faster than the blink of an eye. And with Quick Camera, all you need to do is double-tap the home button and start shooting.

You don’t like to wait? No big deal. With fast wireless charging, the Galaxy S7 powers up from 0 to 100% in no time at all. And with the biggest battery, it gives you the power to keep going.

In terms of operating system, the Galaxy S7 is powered by the latest Android Marshmallow OS. That means less battery drain from apps you don’t use, and new features like Now on Tap—the genius technology that anticipates your next move.

The new mobile phones also feature Samsung Pay, The first mobile payment that’s accepted almost anywhere. It’s simple, secure and works in more places than any other mobile payment service.
