Your guide to the Galaxy: Samsung’s newest phones at Verizon

Find out what sets Galaxy phones—the S7, S7 edge, Note5, S 6 and Core 

Prime™—apart from one another.

Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones pack all the features you crave most from your devices: gorgeous displays and powerful cameras able to capture your most important events. You might just say they’re out of this world. See which model best suits your needs.

Samsung Galaxy S7

This phone is a work of art that’s thinner than its predecessors but with plenty of new (and some returning) features.

Why it rocks: The spectacular screen will keep you engrossed in every clip you stream and every photo you shoot. And with a microSD™ card slot, you can keep up to six times more of your favorite shots (plus games, songs and whatever else you want to keep close at hand) on your phone.

Special features: Why settle for a phone that has to stay tucked inside a bag when you’re at the pool? The Galaxy S7’s IP68 rating means this baby can withstand spills, splashes and dunks (up to 5 feet of water for up to 30 minutes). Get it wet? No problem. Just dry it off and keep going.

Quad-core processor
32GB, with a microSD card slot

Samsung Galaxy S7 edge

The unique dual-edge screen returns with a stronger battery, expandable memory and the same water-resistance of its Galaxy S7 sister.

Why it rocks: Get weather, news and sports scores on the dual-edge screen, and like your friends’ social posts with just one swipe. It’s also great for when you need to quickly reach out to a favorite contact.

Special features: Capture major moments at night just as if it were day. The fast autofocus and new sensor catches even more details in low-light situations, so you can record moments just as you see them. The 3,600mAh battery helps ensure the phone is ready when you are.

Specs:
5.5-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display
Quad-core processor
32GB, with a microSD card slot

Samsung Galaxy Note5

King of the phablets, the Galaxy Note5 squeezes all the benefits of a larger-screened tablet into a powerful and more portable smartphone.

Why it rocks: The Note’s signature feature is the included S Pen™ stylus, which lets you make precise drawings and notes (as well as zip around your phone without typos). You can even open apps side by side, so you won’t waste time switching back and forth.

Special features: Surely one of the biggest complaints about smartphones is battery life, which happens to be a problem the Galaxy Note5 doesn’t have. The 3,000mAh battery is long-lasting and fast-charging.

Specs:
5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display
Samsung Exynos 7420 octa-core 64-bit processor
32 or 64GB

Samsung Galaxy S® 6

As powerful as it is sleek, the Galaxy S 6 has muscle-car power under its dazzling aluminum and glass body.

Why it rocks: Every aspect of the Galaxy S 6 is top shelf, making it the rare device truly without any compromises. Its body is sturdy yet elegant. Its cameras snap wonderfully sharp and detailed photos. And one look at the display and you’ll be tempted to put your TV in the recycling bin. (No really, it’s incredible.)

Special features: We can’t say enough about that incredibly sharp and richly detailed 577 ppi Quad HD display (yes, that’s four times the resolution of standard HD). Whether you’re gaming, streaming video, browsing photos or just wading through Instagram, it’s as responsive and quick as it is gorgeous.

Specs:
5.1-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED (2560 x 1440) display
64-bit octa-core processor
32, 64 or 128GB

Samsung Galaxy Core Prime™

If high tech spells a headache for you, then rest easy: Samsung’s Galaxy Core Prime has all the power of a typical smartphone, but in a simplified package.

Why it rocks: We’ve never seen a smartphone with such easy access to the most-used smartphone functions—phone, camera, navigation, email—as well as optional settings to boost font and icon sizes to make reading easier. Its trimmed-down size makes it especially pocket-friendly compared to today’s larger-screen models.

Special features: We wish all phones had the Galaxy Core Prime’s Easy Mode, which cleans all the clutter up, allowing for quick access to your most-used apps and functions.

Specs:
4.5-inch WVGA (480 x 800) display
1.2 GHz quad-core processor
8GB
