Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F 32GB
Samsung Galaxy S7 is the new flagship smartphone from Samsung. It was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in February 2016 and offers improvements over older models across the board in terms of speed, battery life, design, durability and camera performance. Critics think that this is one of the best Android phones ever produced. Samsung's aims with the S7 are obvious. It needs to revive relative poor Galaxy S6 sales and to successfully compete with the iPhone 6S and future iPhone models.
The Galaxy S7 design features a curved glass back, which means that holding it feels comfortably. Moreover, the height of the protruding camera lens on the back has been reduced to less than 0.5 mm so the surface becomes flatter.
The technical specs are impressive as one has come to expect of Galaxy phones. The S7 is powered by a blazing fast 2.15 GHz quad-cord Snapdragon processor improving processing speeds by 30% and graphics performance by an astounding 64% compared to Galaxy S6. Speed isn't the only thing that counts from a user perspective if the RAM memory isn't sufficient. Prospective S7 buyers need not to worry, since the phone comes with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM. There's also 32 GB of storage available.
The camera has f1.7 aperture and captures 25% more light than the S6 model. The 1.4 micron pixels offers improved brightness and clarity. The auto-focus has also undergone substantial enhancements by adopting dual photodiode pixel auto-focus, a technology used by DSLR cameras that means significantly faster auto-focus. In non-technical jargon: S7's camera snaps higher quality photos faster.
Galaxy S7 runs on the latest Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 operating system, which means that it can take advantage of latest app features that developers around the globe are working on.
Samsung has demonstrated that it listens to its users and have brought back some popular features that the S6 models had dropped. Waterproofing and support for microSD card are features that appeal to Samsung users and both have been reintroduced with the S7 model.
The battery charging is fast and 50% charging is accomplished in only 30 minutes (wired charging). A new feature is the always-on display. Basic information like time, calendar and notifications are displayed in a power-saving mode. Hence, gleaning at the phone to check the time doesn't require a fully-illuminated screen.

Samsung Galaxy S7 review
Samsung Galaxy S7 is better than Galaxy S6 in some areas, but I'm finding it hard to justify the upgrade from the previous flagship to the new device. I like the fact that Samsung has greatly improved in many areas, especially design.
Samsung Galaxy S7 review: Still the best phone you can buy
The Samsung Galaxy S6 was the best phone of 2015 and, although it's still early days, the Galaxy S7 is a serious contender for best phone of 2016. Samsung has taken into account what its fans want, addressing the three main areas of concern: removable storage, waterproofing and battery life.
Absolutely superb smartphone
This phone is far superior to my previous S4 mini. GPS very quick to find current location and stay with it. Battery will last for a day out using mobile data and GPS. Battery charges from low to full charge in about an hour. Has a slot for micro SD card, ideal for lots of photos and mapping data.
Works great with dual SIM cards. A little odd that it should be difficult to get the proper support with right dual simcard new mobiles. Everything runs fine but I have not had time to play something new challenging games. The work is excellent. Unfortunately I broke the screen the other day.
Always breaks
I bought my first S7 a year ago, it lasted 4 weeks. I got a replacement and had consistent issues. Sometimes it just wont turn on for 24hrs or so even though its at 100% battery, on charge, connected to PC, you name it I tried it.
Great Phone
I bought the phone to use on Sprint. In the description it dosent mention Sprint. After researching i foun conflicting data. The associate said he couldn't be sure but no one ever returned the phone for that reason. It does work on sprintand other networks perfectly
Samsung Galaxy S7
The beauty of what we've engineered is to give you the slimmest feel in your hand without compromising the big screen size. And the elegantly curved front and back fit in your palm just right. It's as beautiful to look at, as it is to us.
Review: Samsung Galaxy S7
The company that stuck a huge 10x zoom lens on the Galaxy S4, made seven Gear wearables in less than three years and paid Jay-Z US$5 million so that it could release his album for free? Well, those days are over.
Samsung Galaxy S7
The Samsung Galaxy S7 is one of the best Android smartphones in India right now. It performs better than any other device in the market, and has the best camera. It's beaten only by the S7 Edge, but in terms of looks, this is still not up to the mark.- Top of the line performance
- Excellent camera
- Waterproof
- Touchwiz needs to be lighter
- Samsung needs to change the looks
Samsung Galaxy S7 review: The unsung hero?
Samsung's dual-flagship strategy is now in full force, with the launch of both a regular Samsung Galaxy S7 and a larger SGS7 edge model. The Samsung Galaxy S7 edge is very much the headline hog, with its dual curved edges and larger display it's the hero handset.- Great camera experience
- good battery performance
- microSD slot
- refined design and build (with waterproofing
- TouchWiz is over the top
- prone to fingerprint smears
- will always sit in the shadow of the SGS7 edge
