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.

To answer the question posed at the top of this review, this year's Galaxy phones present us with the most complete vision yet of what a Galaxy phone should be. Nearly every issue we had with the Galaxy S6 has been addressed, and most everything we liked about the S6 has been refined.
Attractive build; Powerful internals; Fantastic low light camera performance; IP68 water resistant
Slippery when moist; Fingerprint smudges galore; Headphone audio a step back from GS6

Had this phone for 3 months awesome best phone ever
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.
Samsung hasn't reinvented itself with the Samsung Galaxy S7 or Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, but it has produced a pair of very fine handsets, even if Australia doesn't get the fastest possible models. Over at finder.com.au, I've reviewed both handsets prior to their 11 March official release.
Samsung knows exactly how to make a top Android phone , and with the Galaxy S7 it's just pulled another marvel out of the bag. Read our Galaxy S7 review to find out why Samsung's S-series still offers the best phone money can buy.
I use this phone for pretty much everything. The abilty to use full microsoft products is a plus. The best part is the ability to choose any carrier when buying this phone unlocked. The different modes such as slow motion and dual camera are amazing.
If the S6 brought premium design to Samsung's flagship phones, the Galaxy S7 refines and combines those trend-setting good looks with all the features you really wanted from the phones that came before it.
Better battery with vastly improved standby; Smooth; snappy performance; Superfast autofocus; microSD card slot and waterproofing are back; Smoother; more seductive body
No USB-C; TouchWiz still a little fiddly; Too much carrier bloat
Recently upgraded to s7 and it doesn't dissapoint. So fast and smooth with great screen clarity and resolution. Camera is second to none and takes fantastic pictures. Love the fact you can have 2 apps open on the screen at the same time.
I am very happy with the Samsung Galaxy S7 purchased few weeks ago, it looks great, easy to use and has an excellent camera, battery is pretty good. This is a replacement for my old Galaxy S5, they have the same size, which I like instead than a bigger one, it fits well in the hand.
