The main claim was that a curved screen is a more natural shape to take advantage of our round eyes' peripheral vision, which should mean curved TVs allow for a more immersive experience, as the curve should make them fill more of our field of view. They're also supposed to give a wider viewing angle.
The only real spec difference between the Galaxy S7 and the Edge is battery capacity. The S7 has a 3,000mAh battery, while the Galaxy S7 Edge boasts a 3,600mAh pack. The slight upgrade in battery size should be negligible because the Edge has a larger screen, but it actually matters.

Samsung Galaxy S7 review: Display
The Samsung Galaxy S6 was and still is, an excellent smartphone, so this doesn't represent too much of a problem. The S7 has a 5.1in Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1,440 x 2,560 – the same as last year's Samsung Galaxy S6 – and it's as sharp as sharp can be.Samsung Galaxy S10e
It's got a curved AMOLED display, three rear cameras, in-screen fingerprint sensor, and even staples like expandable storage and a headphone jack.2.5D refers to a slight curvature at the edge of the glass display, also known as a contoured edge. You can easily spot curved glass on modern handsets such as the Google Nexus 6, Xiaomi Mi Note, and now the Apple iPhone 6 too, just to name a few.
When faced down, the edge lighting feature lights up the edge screen when you receive calls or notifications. You can color code up to five contacts that will appear in their respective colors when they get in touch, while all other calls or notifications will be shown in neutral bright light.
It has a big screen of 5.1 inch, super AMOLED capacitive touch screen. The benefits of super AMOLED touch screen is that it offers higher contrast levels, faster reaction speed, clearer display and better color production due to the self emitting diode. Also, the screen is curved at one edge.
Sectors and segments are 'slices' of a circle. Sectors are shaped like a slice of pizza, with a curved edge and each straight side the same length as the radius of the circle, or pizza, from which it was cut.
Curved-screen technology started in movie theaters, and the rationale is simple. When you throw an image onto a flat screen from a projector, the light has to travel farther to reach the edges of the screen than it does to reach its center.

AMOLED is an 'active-matrix organic light-emitting diode'. It adds a layer of semiconducting film behind the OLED panel which allows it to more quickly activate each pixel. That increased speed makes it ideal for larger, higher definition displays with a lot of pixels.
