Smartphone "Samsung Galaxy" S7: reviews of the owners

In the previous generation of "Galaxy" S6, Samsung introduced several very original solutions, which users perceived is not very warm. Luckily for the latter, the brand listened to numerous reviews and suggestions, returning to the new model a memory card slot and increased memory. In addition, Samsung's Galaxy S7 Edge camera specifications for many indicators significantly exceed the previous generation of models. And this is only a small part of all innovations prepared by the company for admirers of their products.

So, the subject of today's review is "Samsung Galaxy" S7 Edge: features, reviews, as well as the merits of the smartphone along with its shortcomings.

Contents of delivery

The device goes in the usual box for the brand - high-quality, strong and quite informative. It shows the most interesting characteristics of the gadget, received awards, quality standards and other useful information, which can be useful for the first time.

Inside the box you will see:

• The smartphone Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge;
• Reviews and photos on booklets and promotional brochures;
• Power Supply;
• Micro-USB cable;
• Headphones such as "gags";
• OTG interfaces for connecting peripheral peripherals;
• Detailed user manual in English.

The kit can be called standard. Maybe it's for the best, that the company did not begin to equip its flagship with additional chips, such as a cover or portable base. Many admirers of the flagship, and therefore expensive and high-quality products of the brand prefer to choose their own accessories for themselves, and the extra thing in the box adds an already rather large price to the Samsung Galaxy S7 ("Age"). Feedback from owners regarding the completeness is mostly neutral, although some users either accidentally, or for some incomprehensible idea of the company, get a distinctive color scheme of the power supply unit and trains. In one box they are white, and in the same row standing on the counter - black.

Appearance

If you put the model S6 in one palm and the other one of our respondent, then you practically will not see a difference between the last flagship and the new Samsung Galaxy S7. Reviews of owners played in this far from the last role. Users appreciated the successful design and ergonomics of the predecessor, so the brand listened to the opinions of its fans and practically did not change the appearance of the gadget.

In the new flagship, the front and rear panels still remained glass, and around the perimeter is a pretty metal frame. The most distinctive innovation is the beveled edges on the back panel, - the smartphone has now become slightly ergonomic, and simply to hold the gadget in your hand is much nicer.

Design Features

The eye of the rear camera bulges slightly less, and on the right you can see a familiar LED flash along with a pulse sensor (determines the oxygen saturation of the blood). Above the front of the device is a talking speaker, slightly to the right of the front camera's eye, as well as indicators of illumination and approximation. In the lower part you can see already familiar function button "Home", which is also responsible for the fingerprint scanner.

On the right side there is a power-off key, and on the left there are volume control buttons, and without any rockers, which can be called a hallmark of Samsung Galaxy S7. Responses of owners on this matter are ambiguous: someone has got used to work with "swings" and habitually searches for places of an emphasis on one of buttons, and someone quite suits separate functional.

The top end of the device is allocated for a SIM card slot (nano-sim), a microphone and a slot for micro SD memory cards. On the lower edge you will see a micro-USB interface for charging the device and synchronizing with the computer, an audio output of 3.5 mm, a main speaker and a backup microphone.

Both the rear and the front panel are protected by high-quality fourth-generation glasses from the Corning series from the famous "Gorilla" brand. The front of the smartphone is additionally equipped with an oleophobic coating, due to which, on the "face" almost no fingerprints remain, unlike the back panel Samsung Galaxy S7. The owners' comments repeatedly noted that the company could equip the rear part of the smartphone with similar protection, because in real life the back of the device is just some dirt and dust collector. But the brand was guided apparently by some of its own, maybe not always understandable, considerations.

Screen

The "Samsung Galaxy" S7 Edge features a very impressive display: AMOLED-display with a luxurious development for 2560x1440 points of QHD standard, as well as a high density of pixels - 577 ppi. Trying to discern separate points is simply useless - the picture is as realistic as possible for a smartphone. In addition, the brightness, contrast and overall quality of the transmission deserved the praise not only of users, but also of numerous experts in this field.

Nevertheless, the "Samsung Galaxy" S7 Edge display characteristics are burdened with a fly-fly. The thing is in the specificity of AMOLED-technologies, where, when the viewing angle is shifted, gamma immediately turns into colder color spectra. Of course, the ordinary use of the device does not spoil the impression of this defect, but if you buy a gadget for some of your specific graphical needs, then bear this in mind.

Performance

The company released several variational models on the market that differ from each other processors. We will not consider the version with the Qualcomm chipset, because in Russia it is less popular, unlike the Samsung Exynos 8890 Octa. There is a 64-bit chipset with ARM big.LITTLE architecture. The speed is answered by four cores from Mongoose and the same number from Cortex. The first set operates at frequencies of 2.4 GHz, in the second - 1.3 GHz. For the graphic component is a fairly smart chipset from "Mali" from the T-880 series.

On board there are 4 gigabytes of RAM, as well as 64 GB internal (32 GB variably). And the slats are very bright, because they are made with UHS 2.0 technology, and today this is the fastest standard that can be available to an ordinary user of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. The description of the model describes in some detail where, and why, each kilobyte of memory is used. But in any case, if you are not satisfied with the built-in volume, you can always expand the space to your needs with an external SD-card (up to 200 GB). In addition, due to the OTG-interface, it is possible to connect a third-party external drive to the gadget, and this is terabytes of data.

Device in operation

As for performance, then this model has absolutely no problems - the smartphone copes with all, even the most "heavy" applications and games including. Any, even the most difficult task, will be on the shoulder of Samsung Galaxy S7. The owners' responses are full of laudatory epithets about performance, so a more detailed analysis will be superfluous - everything works and "flies".

Autonomous work

The smartphone received a non-removable battery for 3000 mAh. Already accustomed to the "noble" models, the technology Quick Charge 2.0 can literally in half an hour recharge the phone by 60%. In addition, the gadget was able to wireless charging according to the standards of the PMA and Qi, which is sure to please many fans "nudge on the go."

Also, the already familiar modes of extreme energy saving have not disappeared anywhere, where on some two percent of the charge, one can more or less tolerably work with the phone for several hours. Specifically, watching a video in Full HD-resolution and with maximum brightness will plant a battery for 14 hours, and the most demanding games discharge the battery in 10 hours.

Summarizing

The company continues to confidently lead among other manufacturers of mobile gadgets on the "Android" platforms. As well as other brand flagships, the S7 model has in its arsenal the latest technology and an enviable performance margin. In addition, the study of all the capabilities of the device can easily go more than one day.

It can be safely said that our respondent is intended for those who want to squeeze the maximum out of the "Android" device, and is not ready to make any compromises.

Approximate price - about 50 000 rubles.
