8 Coolest Smartphones Coming In 2016

2. Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge OK, so this one€™s sort of already here, but that doesn€™t stop it being a legitimate source of excitement for fans of all things phone. Launched a day ahead of MWC 2016 and successor to the sublime S6, Samsung€™s Galaxy S7 Edge has upped the stakes where most thought upping impossible. Still carrying that stunning wraparound display across 5.1 glorious inches, the S7 Edge has an even better camera than before, alongside microSD storage (hooray) and a properly usable battery life. Sure, it€™ll also eat up most of your overdraft, collect finger marks quicker than a toddler€™s TV and doesn€™t look so different from the S6, but it€™s enough of an all-round powerhouse to make it one of 2016€™s best smartphones. And it€™s not even Spring. Early reviews are already raving about just how good the S7 is €“ from its de-bloated OS to the general rapidity of its UI €“ and the retention of popular features like water resistance and wireless charging make it a mobile that€™s worth getting animated about.
