The 3 best things about the Samsung Galaxy S7

 

The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are in their second month of availability, and it appears that sales are going very well. A recent report by CNBC noted early indications of “stronger-than-expected” sales, and even went so far as to claim that Samsung had “rediscovered its mojo” with its latest flagship smartphones. The truly interesting test will be comparing S7 and S7 Edge sales to those of the iPhone 7 expected out later in 2016. In the meantime, however, it seems safe to say that Samsung has a hit on its hands.
