Despite the deserved high marks “critics” and the status of the chief of Android-smartphone in the visible universe, Samsung Galaxy S6 is not boasted record sales, not only in Russia, which could be explained by the financial crisis, but also in the rest of the world too. The lack of a memory card slot? Weak battery? The lack of moisture protection? It seems that engineers are just going over the reasons for the lack S6 success, just “fill up” in the new Galaxy missing without touching the very core.
Get rid of Samsung and the strange abundance version of the smartphone, throwing out of the range version curved display of the same diagonal as that of “ordinary”. Now there’s a Samsung Galaxy S7 with a 5.1-inch display and Samsung Galaxy S7 edge with 5.5-inch; edge + version is not planned. We were on the test fell S7 «just», different from the edge of the, in addition to price, dimensions only, less capacious battery, size and performance of the display. And, of course, design: many like edge to its uniqueness and elegance; I like every turn, like more conventional version with a perfect size for my display. However, all this vkusovschina, move on to more substantive conversation.

⇡ # appearance and ergonomics
Samsung Galaxy S7 in hand
Samsung Galaxy S7 Externally very similar to Galaxy S6. Similar, but not identical – at the expense of a slightly tapered and rounded edges, it looks almost weightless and easier than its predecessor, despite the fact that it is thicker and heavier. This helps 2,5D-glass on the front, slightly sloping on the edges. But the essence has not changed – tempered glass Gorilla Glass front and rear metal edge, a tiny border around the screen, a mechanical button “Home” with built-in fingerprint scanner
Samsung Galaxy S7, faceplate. Above screen: earpiece, front camera, ambient light sensors and proximity, as well as the status indicator. Under the screen: the button “Home” to print scanner and touch keys “Back” and call open apps list
This is one of the most pleasant in the use of modern smartphones – he only looks slick than a little scary (not slip it? Do not drop it?), but in fact nothing wrong with a metal frame around the edges allows tenacious grasp it. A little more than a five-inch screen – is optimal for the combination of the diagonal and the convenience of working with one hand, drag your finger to the corners is not necessary, as well as to capture a second hand gadget. There are claims to the located too high a volume key – but it is, first, very small things, and secondly, I have them lie right under the index and middle finger, no problem
Samsung Galaxy S7, rear panel: the camera lens, LED flash and the sensor heart rate
Tempered glass theoretically allows you to wear smartphone in your pocket with keys and small change – but in practice this is not worth, scratches still inevitable. One of the major differences from the S7 S6 – barely protruding above the body of the camera lens. In the merit of the new module at the same time a smaller camera and a thicker body – the new flagship of more than a millimeter thicker than the old (7.9 mm vs. 6.8 mm) – in this case has been to pack the camera almost completely. But, by the way, slightly protruding camera – it’s good, I’m an apologist of such a decision; due to the fact that it is easy to grope blindly, you’re less likely to spend a finger on the lens and the chances of its stain, respectively, less.
Samsung Galaxy S7, the left-hand side: multifunctional volume button
Samsung Galaxy S7, the right-hand side: on and lock button unit
but from the “zalapyvaniya” back panel will not save anything – glass looks good, but also cool and collects fingerprints. This is a notable lack of bright colors Galaxy S7 ( «dazzling platinum”, “Titanium Silver”). One option, which happened close to meet me, “black diamond” looks good, and without constant wiping cloth.
Samsung Galaxy S7, the upper bound is: the SIM-card and memory card, and the main microphone
Samsung Galaxy S7, the lower bound: microUSB port, 3.5-mm mini jack for headphones and main speaker
The most important feature of the Samsung Galaxy S7 – waterproof standard IP68 (up to an hour at a depth of half a meter) body, splashes and accidental drowning in a pool or a thunderstorm of all smartphones, the toilet can not be afraid. This, together with increased battery capacity, and resulted in thickened casing. In my opinion, more than appropriate fee
Samsung Galaxy S7, the fingerprint scanner is integrated in the key “Home»
Despite the fact that the program support the fingerprint scanner built into Android 6.0 Marshmallow default, worked in test Samsung Galaxy S7 it is not healthy, almost never identifying mark on the first try. I write off this feature on the preproduction sample – the idea that such a trifle Samsung «is not finished,” a disgusted when talking about S7. The use of the scanner is the simplest. In practice – to unlock the device with one touch, in theory – and even to pay, including through Samsung Pay app (which will ever appear in Russia, we believe)
Samsung Galaxy S7,. like its predecessor, it flaunts only one mono speaker located on the bottom. It is not too loud, but in order to “finish” the call to the next room, his missing; as well heard the call when your smartphone is on the table. There is another problem – it is easy to finger overlaps with the horizontal will be enough to hear while playing its soundtrack and voice acting are often simply not possible. Exit only using headphones -. The signal path here is very good
⇡ # Software
Samsung Galaxy S7 runs under Android 6.0 Marshmallow with firm shell TouchWiz. Since last year, it is no more advantage or disadvantage of Samsung smartphones, but only their feature – the shell has become very close in appearance to pure logic and Android. But while the mass of additions and a large set of pre-installed software
The most important feature of TouchWiz and software, S7 -. The AlwaysOn feature, which allows to keep the display on continuously while minimizing power consumption. Kind of a screensaver, which can display the information (clock, notifications, reminders) in a variety of graphic styles.
Added a couple of new service programs. The Galaxy Care brought all kinds of “questions and answers” on the smartphone, partly Russified, partially not. With this program you can also check the availability of different vehicle systems.
Galaxy Labs provides access to experimental features, becoming a focus group to test solutions that in the future, may be implemented on a permanent basis. For example, I found myself on a constant basis profile which eliminates a separate menu for applications discomfited them on the home screen (in the style of iOS or shells for Xiaomi phones, Huawei)
Another feature familiar from Huawei. – the opportunity to “long” screenshot – when removing the usual you can click the drop-down menu, and the smartphone itself will wind screens until you get to a “panoramic” file all the information you need.
Visually, you can change the skin almost as you like – there is the company store, which sometimes changed not only the backgrounds of the screens, but also all of the information up to the icons. A SDK can be downloaded if desired, and start to create the own
Small differences from pure Android a lot of -. From an organization of contacts to work with gestures to call up certain functions (for example, you can shoot a screenshot traffic side of his hand across the screen ). In most cases, they are at least not spoil the picture, but there are weaknesses. For example, service management games Game Launcher, rather cumbersome and intrusive looming on the edge of the screen during the game – sometimes you get it on your finger and conclusions unnecessary menu at the crucial moment. The advantages of this service essentially gives no, but it helps Samsung to promote partnership projects
Another nice feature not too proprietary shell -. A large number of pre-installed software, including protected from being deleted (!). The latter include, in particular, the Instagram and Facebook from a privileged partner of the Korean company. It looks a little tiresome, but no one bothers to stuff everything on daddy and do not pay attention to it.
