Samsung announces next-gen flagship smartphones
Samsung announced its next-generation flagship smartphones on Sunday as expected -- the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge running Android 6 (Marshmallow).
Both phones look strikingly similar to last year's models (the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge), but include features like a return to water resistance that was last seen in the Galaxy S5. The S7 has a 5.1-in. display while the S7 Edge features a 5.5-in curved display.
Samsung also included an "always on" display feature, similar to the LG G5, another smartphone that was also announced Sunday on the eve of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Samsung said both phones have proximity sensors that will know when a phone is in a pocket -- to be able to turn itself off -- or in a darkened room, to turn down the brightness.
