In addition to the new hardware, the new Galaxy S7 and S7 edge there are new software features, including interface TouchWiz renewed compared to that of the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge. Samsung has made a slight restyling to meet user demands, improving the overall user experience. All customizations are based Android 6.0 Marshmallow .
One of the most visible changes of the interface is represented by the shape of the icons . Unlike their ancestors, where icons of the apps had various forms, the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge appear square icons with rounded corners (squircle). The same form can also be applied to the icons of the third-party app. You can also customize the lock screen and home screen, adding links to two favorite apps . The camera interface has finally changed with two black stripes at the top and bottom that clear more different functions.
The most interesting, however, concern the Galaxy S7 edge and its Edge Interface UX . In addition to cosmetic changes, Samsung has introduced several enhancements that simplify access to frequently used functions. First it was increased the width of the panels 260 to 550 pixels , so as to allow the display of more content. The new Tasks edge includes direct links to the most used functions (writing a message, open a browser tab, creating an event, etc.), While the new Quick tools offer everyday tools such as a ruler, a compass and a torch.
The number of applications in the Apps edge has been increased from 5 to 10, while People edge now shows the name of the contact with the photo. The other default panels are reserved to three apps Yahoo (News, Sports and Finance). The user can choose the position, size and transparency of the panels in the settings.
