Samsung officially launches Galaxy S7 edge Blue Coral variant in international markets

Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 was truly the most advanced phone when it was launched in August and it would have been a huge hit for the company, had it not faced any explosion issues due to a faulty battery.

Besides the innovative Iris scanner and advanced S-Pen, another feature that differentiated the Galaxy Note 7 from its stylus-less cousin, the Galaxy S7 edge, was its eye catching Blue Coral variant. The company, in a bid to rejuvenate smartphone sales, on Tuesday launched the same azure coloured Galaxy S7 edge in select markets across the world.
