Fortunately for them, though, […]
There's no hiding the fact that Samsung made gaming a priority when developing the Galaxy S7 edge, which is why the manufacturer has made it extremely easy to capture a screenshot or video of gameplay, which can then be shared to Facebook, Twitter and even YouTube.
