Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE Platinum Gold

The best thing that I love with my Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE Platinum Gold is its head-turner large curved screen and its long lasting battery life. The only thing I don't like about this phone is the price, it's expensive. It can hurt your wallet really bad at $780.

The secondary menu bar is amazing, it's very useful for me since it is easier to go to your favorite apps and tasks. The camera is crisp and you cannot ask for a better camera on a smartphone. The expandable storage is very useful specially for people like me who stores a lot of pictures, songs, videos and games.

The Galaxy S7 edge has no removable battery. The Galaxy S7 edge is fantastic smartphone.
