Which one is best for you?
Samsung Galaxy S7 edge and iPhone 7 Plus were both released in 2016 and though not the latest phones, have plenty to offer.
Both have generous 5.5-inch screens, though S7 edge, being the first in the Galaxy range to feature a curved, edge-to-edge display, takes up less space in your pocket. iPhone 7 Plus, however, also has a dual lens camera – a feature that has become a must-have in more recent top end phones, and allows you to take professional looking images with ease.
