Samsung S7 (Black Onyx, 32GB) Review


Product Description

The Galaxy S6 was Samsung's response to growing criticism that the design of its high-end models just didn't live up to their price tag and market position.The Samsung Galaxy S7 comes in a newly-designed retail box, which slips out of a sleeve with the phone's name embossed on it in bright colors. As any self-respecting flagship should, the Samsung Galaxy S7 ships with Google's latest available OS version, Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. On top there's the obligatory TouchWiz layer, in its latest iteration too. he screen features a new Always-On function, which, as we established on the previous page, draws about 1% battery charge per hour.Some cool gestures are available for the Galaxy S7 - you can flip the phone for mute, swipe your palm for screenshot, double-press the Home key for quick camera access, quick call, among others.

Product Review

The Galaxy S7 comes in two different specs, one with the Snapdragon 820, the other with the Exynos 8890. Qualcomm's chipset has a quad-core CPU, two of the Kryo cores clocked at 2.15GHz, the other two - at 1.6GHz. The Samsung Galaxy S7 almost perfectly matched the output of its predecessor with an active external amplifier. This is to say the smartphone delivered flawlessly clean output with just above average volume levels for an excellent showing.Here's the thing, the Galaxy S7 carries some of the best traits of the lineup, with the tiny caveat that some of those might be lost for good. We have the microSD and IP certification return triumphantly, but then the IR blaster has disappeared and the battery will possibly stay sealed. Samsung S7 is definitely better choice than Samsung S8. Semma Deal !!!
