That's not to say that the Galaxy S7 is total dead-ringer for last year's offering. The back of the device how has a curved surface which allows for a bigger battery but also reduces the unsightly camera bump that made the S6 so hard to lay down on a table. A thicker phone might sound like a drawback, but the aforementioned curves make it feel almost identical to its forerunner.
