As phablets continue to reign supreme, Samsung has proven that it can blur the lines between the category with the Samsung Galaxy S7. Samsung may have not explicitly called the Galaxy S7 edge a phablet, but if you follow the terms on wikipedia, any smartphone with a screen sized above 5.1-inches in the diagonal can be safely included in the category.
Keep in mind thought that this is a category that’s already well dominated by some of our favorite devices of 2015, being the Samsung Galaxy Note 5, and Galaxy S6 Edge+. If you recently decided to pull the trigger on either one of these, or if you’re wondering if you should still consider last year’s phablets, this video is for you.

watching this on my s6 edge +
got my s7 edge last saturday, it's amazing I love it so far! I upgraded from a galaxy s5 and have no wonder thoughts
My s6 edge does have the new edge features. Why didn't you wait until *your* note 5/ edge + got the marshmallow update to compare them. It's been out for a while now.

Big Mo Is a s6 edge plus worth it if I have an s6?
I was so confused but this video really helped! NOTE 6! Thats what i am gonna get! All the goodies of the s7 packed with the s pen! *Excited*
haven't seen you make a review in a while you are one of the best keep making your videos I love watching you God bless you
Great review--as always--Jaime! I didn't even know about the Scroll Capture feature on the S7 Edge until you spoke about it. It's life-changing! As somebody who has an S7 Edge and an iPhone 6s Plus, I wish Apple would incorporate Scroll Capture and Samsung integrate the touch and scroll to the top of the page.
Great video. This question was certainly on my mind.
Wait doesn't 6.0 bring most of those features to the note 5 and S6 Edge plus?

This 6 year old video was for some reason just recommended to me on the homepage here on KZread. I did watch it 6 years ago. And I ended up getting the S7 Edge later that year. Which I was very satisfied with. I now have the S10 and probably will get the S23 Ultra when it comes out. Assuming that is what it will be called.
Awesome review👍 great work Jaime. I love pocket now. Great source for tech

3:22 To do that, all you need to do is remove your S-Pen and then re-insert it upside down! Now enjoy your handy handle for your Galaxy Note 5. (any damage is covered by Samsung warranty)
@Jamie Did you turn on video image stabilisation option in Note 5. Which Samsung called OIS + VDIS feature. I do see that S7 maybe on by default too.
THANK YOU very much Pocket now I was in very much dilemma over to buy which one, your review on the 3 devices has been very much helpful. thanks again going for S7 edge next month.

I was literally dying foe this review, thanks pocket now
great video and yes . Dbrand is very useful for this phone but I'm waiting to see how the G5 can stand
Very pleased with Samsung. Galaxy has always been a great phone lineup (asides from touchwiz), but they literally listen to the consumer and tweak to our smartphone pleasure. Good job Samsung
I've just received my s7 edge. My so edge was less than a year old and I wasn't sure if the new phone would be worth the investment. Wow it's worth it. Feels much better in the hand with the curved glass on the back. The display and camera now second to none. My so always had a greenish tinge to the glass making whites less bright. But the real reason I purchased this phone was the massive improvement when using the VR gear. The new processor is so quick. The battery really does last and being able to expand the memory is now important to me having so many VR games and experiences to play. In addition Samsung have fixed the problem of the S6 over heating when using the VR headset. The new phone is filled with gas that turns to gel to cool the thing. It really works.
My s6 edge got android 6.0.1 and all the new features on the Edge are available as well as much improvement to battery.
Do we leave video stabilization on in the camera options even though we have optical image stabilization on the note5/s7e? Leaving video stabilization off in the camera settings and letting the hardware stabilize the image has worked better for me in most cases.
I'll wait my time for the note 6. I've always been a note user, but because the note 5 didn't come to Europe, i switcht to huawei. Missed the pen so much I bought the notepro 12.2 tablet to still be able to take some notes and it's a beast for a tablet that is "so old"! The note 6 will be just as a beast as well.
Jaime what widgets and games did you use on the phones in the video?
Hi. On one of the pocketnow podcasts they said you discovered that the processor in the Note 5 was actually faster than the Qualcomm 820 when playing certain high graphics games. Is this true?
Waiting for the Note 6!
Well done Sampson that S7 edge is absolutely beautiful, I miss having two phones as my daily drivers, I know what's my next purchase is to rest with my 6S, because the battery is atrocious
I'm definitely upgrading, and I wanted to know your thoughts of waiting until the Note 6 comes out. I have heard many rumors, do you guys know of anything?
I got marshmallow update on my edge+ a week back and the update brought major s7 edge features to my phone. I have the new edge screen features that are on s7 edge, always on display and lightning fast speed. The update also modifies the camera on the edge+. I tested it against my s7 edge and the results were same under normal and low light conditions. Although I will say that OIS is way better in s7 edge.
Hi Jamie I got 6.0.1 update in my note 5(sm-n920c) so can u compare software with the s7 edge.
I kinda like Dbrand skins, but my phone is made of cheap plastic( so, nope), not saying it is a bad thing, I drop my phone every time and it kicks, never broke. This" premium" phones are fragile as fuck, why have beauty if you have to use a case.

depending on the S pen which integrated with note 5 does note 5 could have superiority over S7 Edge or S7 Edge still beat Note 5 in your view of point ?
Glad you didn't dip that phone in the sink 😂
even added 4 gb of ram? when comparing to the other two flagships in the video they all have 4 gb of ram. And with Marshmallow in s6 edge plus, the edge features have been transported and are the same as on s7 edge.
Surrogate spen parent here. I jot down notes all the time, so I'm an avid fan. Looking forward to what the Note 6 will offer in 5 months; roll on the return of the SD card slot and larger battery. Thank you s7 edge.
My galaxy s6 edge plus has those software features of the s7, as well as the os version 6.0.1

Verizon has released marshmallow on the Note 5 in the US but not the S6 Edge Plus and I'm wondering if it's because they're going to bring that new Edge functionality from the 7 to the 6 Plus?? Or are they holding off with marshmallow on s6 to entice buyers to buy the s7 because it has 6.0.1
I got all the features of S7 Edge on my S6 Edge Plus when I got OTA of Android 6.0.1 on March 1st.
Good comparison
Should I go for the S7 (not the edge one) or the S6 Edge plus?

I really want to have a samsung galaxy phone ( s6 edge or the s7 ) but im really into the apple ecosystem with a mac book, iPad and iphone 6plus ... Many apps that i already paid for but most likely i would try a galaxy phone maybe the galaxy s7 edge is the one!
What was your name again? That was so fast!😱
When did u move to queens village from Honduras and do u miss it @pocketnow
well I'm impressed with my note edge and I didn't see any reason to replace it with note 5 or edge plus. but s7 edge seems much more than impressive and I wanna upgrade. There's still one more problem, it doesn't have a s pen. Those who haven't used one will never understand why s pen should keep so difference between a note and s device. Just hope I find all the features with note 6. cz I want a edge display and a note together as specs as s7 edge does. 😋
Excuses, can u tell me what is the shooting game in the show? At the time 4:30

The Galaxy Note 5 on Verizon has been updated to Android 6.0.1. This makes it practically identical to the Galaxy S7 edge from a software stands point.
Jamie is like the John Ive of Pocketnow..
I have received marshmallow on my s6 edge + and it includes the new features besides all ways on screen and the game toggles. Really can't see any reason to upgrade
does it still go crazy if it gets wet. it was almost unusable when actually wet.
I already got the note 5, gonna wait for the note 6, but the s7 edge looks amazing... if the note 6 has the same specs, I'll get the s7 edge
I'm happy with my Note 5. There's still no signs of lag aging, and with 6.0.1 M on my device, I'll probably be keeping mine until the end of the year, maybe next depending on if it receives 7.0 N. No updating for me! Also, I wonder why Google jumped from 6 to 7 without an in between update.
I revived the update for my s6 edge and got the s7 ui and edge panel
nice video but I hate when you guys don't cover baterry life. other than that cool video
the new edge features hand been on my s6 edge for a few weeks. And it's the same screen...
There's no link to dbrand
Actually the android 6.0.1 update brings all that features

My Verizon Note 5 is running Marshmallow! I never thought I'd say that :)
So technically the iPhone 12 would be a phablet.
I would go with the N5 since its cheaper.

In currently trying both. I'm finding the S7 Edge battery life somewhat better, but otherwise they're about the same in day to day performance. I'd say that if you use the S-Pen, stick to the Note 5. If not and you can afford it, the S7 Edge battery life is a lot better in my and most reviewers and users' experiences.

the S7 edge is good however if you currently have a Note 5 or an S6 it's not worth the upgrade or even if you're trying to save a few bucks but if you just want the water proof and/or expandable memory shoot for the S7

Explain to me what the Galaxy Edge series does that a flat phone can't? I feel all the features the edge has can easily be ported and used on any flat phone. To me the edge is still a gimmick.
