Samsung’s Galaxy S7/S7 edge devices are pretty awesome. They get many things right, but there are one or two niggles that did get on our nerves a little during our time with the device.
Thankfully, Samsung is addressing one of the more crucial quality of life issues we had with the Galaxy S7 edge in the device’s latest patch.
The dual-edge display on the Galaxy S7 edge is pretty amazing. It gives users a near bezel-less experience that is difficult to find on any other smartphone. However, with a display that bleeds over to the side of the smartphone, it becomes really easy to have unintended accidental touches when you’re typing or just with general use.
While I personally didn’t have any problems with that, my colleagues ran into this particular problem quite often. With this new update, Samsung has apparently improved touch input and palm rejection for both the S7 and S7 edge.
After updating our device, we gave it a whirl and there does seem to be better but we’d have to spend more time with it to know how extensively improved the palm rejection is.
