The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge look similar to their respective predecessors in both appearance and hardware, with a few notable differences.
The specifications of each device received a slight bump, barring the resolution of the rear cameras which decreased slightly.
However, the most significant change is the return of the Galaxy’s ingress protection rating, coming in at IP68.
This means the devices are rated shock, dust, and waterproof. Another change is support for expandable storage through a microSD slot.
Orders must be placed before 20 March 2016 to qualify for the Gear VR deal, stated Takealot, with the phone due to start shipping on 11 March.
