The Galaxy S7 and S7 edge have been announced by Samsung

The latest flagship phones for Samsung have been announced. The S7 and S7 edge both refine on the visual designs of their predecessors. Samsung is quite obviously making a big push into the VR space as other areas of the smart phone market slow.

The key improvements of the S7 over the S6 include a 12 Megapixel camera that is supposed to take pictures with 95% more brightness capabilities, faster auto focus, an 'always on' display that uses less power and a bigger battery. This gorgeous new phone also comes with the usual updates of a faster processor and graphics processor. Also, expandable memory is making a comeback, likely due to backlash from consumers who missed it on the current generation of Galaxy phones. Oh, if you want to take your phone swimming, it's going to be dust and water resistant as well.

Probably one of the cooler things coming out is the Gear 360 VR camera! This nifty little camera can shoot videos in full 360, which is pretty cool when you upload it to Youtube and can move your phone around in the air the view all the parts of the video. The camera has two lenses on either side that shoot 180 degrees of action.

Samsung has been accused quite a bit of copying the market, but with these moves, it's quickly becoming a leader in market innovation.
