Sorry Apple, but Consumer Reports just said the new Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge from Samsung are the best phones you can buy right now.

In particular, Consumer Reports praised the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge's cameras, which Tech Insider's own camera expert Rafi Letzter found to be slightly better than the rear shooters on the iPhone 6s Plus.

Consumer Reports also loved the new Galaxy phones' water resistance, sleek and smooth exteriors, long battery life, and expandable memory.

Consumer Reports says these phones are much better than last year's Galaxy S6 models, and by fixing those older phones' battery life and camera performance issues, the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge now sit atop Consumer Reports' ratings for all smartphones.
