The Samsung Batman Edition Galaxy S7 Edge: A Review of the Latest Superhero Phone

Every year, Samsung releases a new superhero phone, and this year it's none other than Batman. The Batman Edition Galaxy S7 Edge is a sleek and powerful device that's sure to appeal to fans of the Caped Crusader.

As we unbox the phone, we notice that it comes with a variety of accessories, including a VR headset. This is not surprising, given the phone's compatibility with Samsung's newest Gear VR system. The VR headset is fully black themed, matching the rest of the phone's design. It's a nice touch, and helps to explain why the box was so large.

In addition to the VR headset, we also find a plastic Batman case that's quite nice to look at. The case has some depth to it, giving it a premium feel. There's also a little bit of paperwork included, which seems unnecessary given the phone's design. However, underneath the paperwork, we find fast charging accessories that are not black and gold themed, as one might expect.

We're also surprised to find a pair of Samsung headphones, but they're not black and gold like we were expecting. They do come in handy, however, and we appreciate the inclusion of a sim card ejector tool. Now, let's take a closer look at the phone itself.

The Batman Edition Galaxy S7 Edge is a stunning device that looks like it was plucked straight from the pages of a comic book. The phone's design is all black, with metal rails and buttons that give it a sleek, high-end feel. The edges are completely blacked out, making the phone almost invisible in certain lighting conditions. However, there are some small touches of gold that add a bit of flair to the design.

The gold accents can be seen around the home button, earpiece, camera, and flash cutout. These tiny details give the phone a sense of sophistication and elegance. The phone also comes with a gold Batman logo on the back, which is a nice touch for fans of the character.

One of the things that sets this phone apart from other devices is its custom software. When we boot up the phone, we're greeted with a Batman-themed lock screen that features wind blowing through Batman's cape. It's a small detail, but it adds to the overall sense of immersion and engagement.

The phone also comes with a full icon pack and black and gold-themed notifications settings. While the software theme may not be the most polished, it's clear that Samsung has put a lot of effort into creating an experience that's tailored to fans of Batman. Even the always-on display shows the date, time, and a faded Batman logo, which is a nice touch.

Overall, we're impressed with the design and features of the Batman Edition Galaxy S7 Edge. While it may not be perfect, it's clear that Samsung has put a lot of thought into creating a device that will appeal to fans of the character. Whether you're a die-hard Batman fan or just looking for a unique phone experience, this device is definitely worth considering.

It's also worth noting that the phone comes with a very limited supply - only 1,000 units are being produced, and we happen to be holding one in our hands. As part of our review, we'll be giving away this phone to one lucky reader who follows us on Twitter. So be sure to follow us and keep an eye out for the giveaway post!
