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: This is the phone to beat

The fast, powerful, beautiful Galaxy S7 phone is 2016's all-around phone to beat. Editors' note (March 28, 2017): Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus, the follow ups to 2016's excellent Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. Priced at $750 (£689 and AU$1,199), the Galaxy S8 features a beautifully curved 5.8-inch screen with an ultra-narrow bezel; facial recognition as an alternative way to unlock the phone; and Samsung's nascent Bixby voice assistant. The S8 Plus costs a bit more -- $850, £779 or AU$1349 -- and comes equipped with a larger body and battery, but is otherwise identical.
Pros:
  • Polished design
  • Awesome camera
  • Long battery life
  • microSD storage slot and water-resistant (again!).
Cons:
  • Annoyingly reflective
  • Smudge magnet
  • Plastic-looking selfies even with no filter
  • No removable battery, which isn't surprising, but is still a compromise compared to 2014's S5.

The Samsung Galaxy S7, already Oh, it's very real and it's very fast. But most importantly, it takes the formula seen with the last generation, and instead of completely revamping, makes the necessary tweaks to give a better overall experience.
Pros:
  • The best smartphone camera
  • It's gorgeous (and more ergonomic
  • Added RAM needed boost
  • Proof that great cameras can have bumps axed
  • Water resistance
Cons:
  • Touchwiz still finicky at times
  • Lots of carrier crapware
  • A gallery for fingerprints

Review

Everything in this phone from the processor, software, camera is great but the outside is very fragile and slippery. Today this phone fell out of my pocket during gym and the side bezel got chipped everywhere. I recommend buying case as soon as you buy this phone and be careful of clumsiness.

Display - Never be in the dark with an Always On Display Samsung recently trademarked the phrase ‘Always On Display', and as the name suggests the most critical information is always displayed, negating the need to wake the Galaxy S7 up to see notifications, the time and the calendar.
