Viewing angles, brightness and sunlight visibility are excellent, and the issue of accidental "tapping" due to handling the phone (a minor annoyance on the S7 Edge) has been fixed. Due to the amazing screen-to-chassis ratio, the hallmark Samsung home button is now virtual. For this reason, the brand has added a feature similar to Apple's Force Touch.
