Unlike the Galaxy S5 model, both the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge are not officially waterproof/water-resistant but this water test proves otherwise, sort of.
In terms of looks, the S7 is remarkably similar to the S6. But the crucial difference between the devices is the Galaxy S7 supports microSD cards. It is also waterproof IP68 certified, unlike the Galaxy S6, and is marginally thicker, with good reason: it contains a larger battery, which we will get to later.
Samsung Galaxy S6 vs S6 Edge: The S6 Edge is lighter, but thicker. The S6 Edge weighs 132g and is 7mm thick; the S6 is 138g 6.8mm thick – so that's 6 grams lighter and 0.2mm thicker. Both phones are sporting Corning Gorilla Glass on the front and back and have metal rims.

Samsung mobile phone screens are notoriously expensive, and often the cost of a replacement is nearly as much as a second-hand phone. The reason for this is that the manufacturing cost is high- most Samsung screens use AMOLED (active matrix organic LED) technology and are made by Samsung themselves.
