I will not hide the fact that for many years I am in search of an ideal smartphone. The selection criteria have not changed since then, both in my hands was the first mobile phone:
- High-quality screen
- The bright-eyed, good-looking interface
- Pleasant housing materials
- The LP battery
- Sane camera and sound in the headphones
In the market there are many devices that are able to be more than “close” all of these items. But apart in a number of these devices, there are two companies: Apple and Samsung. If Americans have learned how to make smart phones, close to the ideal for me, ever since the iPhone 4, the Samsung has happened only last year, when he went Galaxy S6.
Due svoth views I have several years of sitting on Android, and a matter of choice in favor of the Apple ecosystem I got up only once, when the market went the iPhone 6. But Apple magic in that moment blocked the price tag on the new device , and the choice fell on the Galaxy S6. Now it happened irreparable. Out Galaxy S7, and if you operate Apple terminology, he became hateful “S” version of the Galaxy S6, improved in all aspects.
I was able to closely get acquainted with the curved version of the flagship, Galaxy S7 Edge. In short, it’s almost a dream smartphone. Why almost? I will try to answer, painted features of Samsung’s new items.
1. Ergonomics
in 2016 for the company, apparently, held under the motto of an improving economy. The task was simple – take the S6 and bring to mind. The Samsung coped with it brilliantly.
S7 Edge with increased diagonal screen has almost the same width of the hull, as the S6. And at the expense of a smooth transition from the back to the side edges to keep it even more comfortable than smaller in size S6. With the usual S7 occurred the same metamorphosis, while maintaining a diagonal of 5.1 inches. Smartphones in the hand like a glove. The camera is now almost does not protrude above the body, the buttons are still located in a natural grip, the center button acts as little more on housing, which increased its speed and make the press more enjoyable. Attention to detail, which is so lacking before Apple’s competitors can be seen clearly here. Especially if you compare the seventh series of Galaxy line with the sixth generation
2. Screen
Edge-version to the full extent reveals the potential of the smartphone. Only on the Edge-S7 version has side panels that can be pulled by swiping from the customizable area on the curved edge of the unit to the center of the screen.
This feature allows you to set up multiple panels for easy access. For example, there you can make your favorite contacts, on the other panel will be the most important application for you, the third will be the weather or the news.
Missed notifications, such as SMS, you can also “pull” with the curved side of the screen. Accompanied by this cute animation.
But the curvature of the screen – not the only trick S7 Edge screen. In Samsung say that the user has an average of about 120 times a day activates the smartphone’s screen, just to see the time, the remaining battery power or the number of missed messages. I do it more than 200 times a day.
On the S7 / S7 Edge is not necessary to activate the screen to see it all. Always-on Display feature allows you to display the information continuously, with minimal battery power costs. Differences in the duration of life of the smartphone on a single charge with the enabled and off I found during the test.
About the color and brightness of the screen will not even talk. Everything is perfect, without any “but”. Critics AMOLED fewer arguments against this type of screen – thanks to Samsung for the continuous development of technology.
3. Chips
It should be a person something to take away, and then back to the pump, and it will be happy again.
This is what happened with the Galaxy S6, which compared to S5 missing splash protection and the opportunity due to microSD card expansion device’s internal memory. The Samsung know how to listen and to admit their mistakes. Seventh generation Galaxy was re-waterproof, and memory (the default model 32GB built-in memory) cards can be expanded up to 200 GB. Nicely.
The usual shell chips TouchWiz Samsung too have not gone away, becoming more convenient. For example, a screenshot of the screen can be done by spending his hand from edge to edge of the screen. Previously, so I do the screenshot of the visible part of the screen. Now embedded software allows you to make a screenshot, for example, all “sheets” of the site – the phone automatically “stick together” long screenshot. It needs only a portion of the screen? No problem – the resulting image can be trimmed
And there are little things the sea.. Vibration connection (you can not hold the phone to his ear, listening to the beeps at the other end), the ability to adjust the screen color scheme for themselves, smart Auto-Brightness.
By the way, it will tell more. Previously, when the automatic brightness of the screen you can choose the comfort mode using the brightness slider. Now this thing became smarter. During the first few days / weeks the phone learns and remembers, in any lighting conditions, you change the brightness manually (for example, at night to wriggle out of it at least by hand), so you in such circumstances to put the usual for you to brightness (in this case, the minimum brightness for comfortable reading at night). Nowhere is this seen the implementation of adaptive brightness of the screen.
4. Performance, Android 6.0.1
Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge First in the line of Samsung took to the Android 6.0.1 right out of the box. Powerful hardware, four gigabytes of RAM, plus a well-optimized software do its job. Smartphone gives the impression of speed. The potential of the device, unfortunately, very difficult to reveal the full – is impossible to find games / applications that can make the smartphone inhibit
The high performance devices -. Card of high-end smart phones Galaxy S, starting from the first generation. To cite one example – the release rate using fingerprint scanner. I remember that I admired the speed of the Touch ID in the iPhone 6s Plus. Galaxy S7 Edge runs at least as fast. Subjectively, it seems that the release takes place more quickly, but this is achieved by simply pchihologicheskim reception – until the iPhone to take off your beautiful icons (unlock animation is beautiful and smooth), Samsung is already on the screen unlocked, ready to work.
5. To take or not to take?
You can accuse me of prejudice against the Galaxy S7 Edge. How is it, you ask, can all be so good in a smartphone? Surely he has a million of stocks, which the author simply silent. My answer is – stocks at the device, I have not found all of the test
Although no one has found.. This is the price. The device, which I tested, is 60 thousand rubles. It is very expensive. Even for the perfect smartphone for me. Low-end model, a simple the S7, stands at 10 thousand less, but that’s not really changes the situation, given that you do not get the wow-effect of the rounded screen, and the battery in a non-Edge version of the smaller volume.
Anyway for 35 thousand can buy a Galaxy S6, which is not too out of date, and will be relevant for at least another year (with Android 6.0.1 to notice a difference in the daily performance of the devices is only possible with an accurate stopwatch in hand). With the S6 you donate a memory expansion, moisture protection and a gigabyte of RAM. And 90% of people (not geeks) simply will not notice the difference between the S7 and S6.
But if you are looking for an alternative to iPhone to Android, then pass by the Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge categorically impossible. This is an ideal (or close to it) smartphones for the non-ideal price.
