    Previous Samsung Galaxy edge smartphones have been the best-looking on the market. The problem is that their defining trait, the Edge screen, doesn't provide much outside of aesthetic appeal. Sure, it can function as an information ticker or shortcut for apps and contacts, but it ultimately proves redundant to Android's homescreens, widgets, and notifications.

    Samsung hopes to change that with the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. For starters, Samsung is extending the Edge display to 550 pixels, doubling the previous pixel count. This will add an extra row of app and contact shortcuts, and allow for vertically oriented notifications and information, rather than horizontal. The effect here is very reminiscent of Windows 10's live tiles.
