Samsung reminds me not too gifted student who has to deal with very hard in school. But he finally gets a solid top five: coming this week on sale Galaxy S7 model Samsung will provide the position of best student.
Do I have you to buy this model? No, the market offers a lot of comparable level smartphones, there are those that are substantially cheaper (Galaxy S7 price in the US – $ 680), more stylish look and work longer without recharging. But after years of above average production of smartphones the company finally managed to create a standing model.
Galaxy S7 and bigger phone S7 Edge, which is actually a mini-tablet, equipped with excellent digital cameras surpassed the iPhone 6S Quality pictures in low light conditions. The screen quality is at S7 is also striking – the number of points of the image three times the rate iPhone 6S. Camera Resolution – 12 million pixels, smaller than Apple’s smartphone, but this is offset by increased sensitivity to the same AF occurs instantly. The quality of S7 camera like me more than any other smartphone. High CPU S7 easy to cope with the processing of virtual reality. I liked also that the new phone is made waterproof and S7 that the developers abandoned the number of unnecessary elements, traditionally high cost, many smartphones. In particular, instead of built-in memory to increase, they have relied on the possibility of adding a removable memory.
I must admit that Samsung has managed this time to take the exam as “excellent” is mainly due to repetition. So, already it was waterproof model Galaxy S5. In S7, no port USB Type-C, or touch sensitivity of the touch screen, such as a 3D Touch from Apple, or the two cameras on the back, like the LG G5. Included with the S7 you get a free helmet Gear VR virtual reality, but the smartphone does not carry anything revolutionary new.
When choosing between Android and Apple’s, we pay attention to how this or that platform combines the functions we need. Samsung coped with the task of optimizing the software is excellent. Installed in the S7 version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow – the most elaborate and elegant of all that offers Samsung. To my surprise, I even liked some of the new Samsung Apps, available in the S7, eg Samsung self-diagnosis means and means of payment + Samsung Pay.
The greatest skepticism I have caused S7 battery – in intensive tests, it lasted without charging about 7 hours, about 40 minutes less than the iPhone 6S. Although the battery power at S7 is 75% more than Apple’s smartphone with a large screen resolution brings this advantage to naught. One solution that saves energy – always-on display, showing the time and simple messages. It would seem that it must expend energy, but Amoled screen while highlighting only those points that you see. This is more efficient than every 20 minutes to include the entire screen, just to see the time, insists Samsung.
In normal operation mode, the battery is barely enough for the day. The battery is not removable, but is charged very quickly, full charging from scratch takes less than one and a half hours.
It is not clear whether the consumer is willing to pay such a high price for this model, when all around are so many other great smartphones, but in working with virtual reality to the S7 Samsung model is becoming a world leader.
