And here are some 4K videos shot with the Galaxy S7 edge. The first one demoes the lightning-fast autofocus.
Benchmarks
We tested both the S7 and S7 edge and the difference in form factor didn't make a difference in performance, so we united their scores.
Note that this is the Exynos 8890 chipset, which is built on a 14nm process and features a total of eight custom Samsung cores - four small and four big ones. They work together with Mali-T880 GPU to deliver awesome performance.
AnTuTu 6 shows a sufficient gain in performance over the old guard, the S6 edge+.

Samsung moved away from the stock ARM Cortex cores, but comparing them to the Huawei Mate 8 (Kirin 950, 4x A72 + 4x A53) the two seem on par (we don't have single-core scores for the Mate 8 though).

The GPU proved strong at a fixed 1080p resolution, games can even run at native QHD resolution if they keep effects at a sane setting.
Note that the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium seems to top the Galaxy S7 in onscreen tests despite its 4K screen, but that's only because it runs most apps at 1080p.
Update: we had a wrong, low score for the Galaxy S7 on GFX 3.0 Manhattan (offscreen). This has been corrected.
