( ) ![image caption](https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/static/revamp/images/png/ht-tech-bg-img-245-140.png) ( ) The Samsung Galaxy S7 with a 5.1-inch display costs ₹7,000 more than the Apple iPhone 6s with a 4.7-inch display. The Galaxy S7 Edge has a curved display that folds over the edges and costs as much as an Apple iPhone 6s Plus with the same screen size but lower resolution. However, the phones take the lead as the base models of the phones offer twice as much sorage as the iPhones'. Battery ( ) ![image caption](https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/static/revamp/images/png/ht-tech-bg-img-245-140.png) ( ) The Galaxy S7 has a 3,000 mAh battery while the S7 Edge has a 3,600 mAh one. Samsung claims that you can watch an entire season of Game of Thrones on a single charge. A bigger battery also means more web browsing time, gaming and photography -- all of which Samsung has improved on. Camera ( ) ![image caption](https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/static/revamp/images/png/ht-tech-bg-img-245-140.png) ( ) The camera on S7 and Edge don't bulge like its predecessor did, but take on the iPhone 6s in terms of performance. The larger pixels equipped with dual-pixel tech make sure that the Galaxy flagships take great pictures and focus faster even in low light.

Memory ( ) ![image caption](https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/static/revamp/images/png/ht-tech-bg-img-245-140.png) ( ) With the Galaxy S7 phones, Samsung wanted to make amends on the shortcomings of S6. So, this time, they turned one of the SIM-slots into a hybrid one the also functions as a memory card slot. So, you can either have two SIM cards or one SIM card and a memory card(up to 200 GB). Liquid Cooling ( ) ![image caption](https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/static/revamp/images/png/ht-tech-bg-img-245-140.png) ( ) The increasing power of smartphones means their need for cooling has become increasingly important. That's why Samsung has shoved in a more than capable liquid cooling system that is inspired from the technology used in rockets. Display ( ) ![image caption](https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/static/revamp/images/png/ht-tech-bg-img-245-140.png) ( ) The S7 and S7 Edge has an alway-on AMOLED display which lets you customise the information that's always visible on the phone.
