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.

The two new flagships, Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge were launched recently in India this March and we just got our hands on with the Samsung Galaxy S7. As you already know that the previous generation of the Galaxy S lineup, the Samsung Galaxy S6, was one of the best flagships...
During the decade I have spent reviewing smartphones, I had realized early on that there is no such thing as a perfect smartphone. A running joke in our community used to be that all companies leave out at least one feature willingly in order to be able to sell a better successor or other models in...
The Samsung Galaxy S7 that was launched in India is powered by Samsung Exynos Octa Core processor loaded with 4GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage. S7 is a dual SIM handset sporting a 5.1 inch Super AMOLED screen and running Marshmallow out of the box, is this premium handset worth it?
Image: Alex Cranz/Gizmodo Samsung fucks up. A lot. Snooping smart TVs , insane VR demos -you name it. Even its most cherished gadget-the Galaxy smartphone-has seen its share of flaws. But with the seventh iteration the Galaxy S, Samsung inches ever closer to a perfect smartphone.
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.
On many of the counts listed above - waterproofing, battery capacity, removable storage, screen quality - Samsung's S7 has scored notable victories over one of the highest-profile devices it will be competing with. At least until the iPhone 7 appears in the autumn of 2016...
The Galaxy S7 is powerful, stylish, feature-packed and very nearly essential if you're in the market for a new flagship.
+ Great design; + Brilliant screen; + Lots of power
- Similar to S6; - Interface won't suit everyone; - Few new features

The Galaxy S7 is easily among the best phones Samsung has ever made, and absolutely among the top tier of what you should consider buying on the high-end market right now, the Galaxy S7 is nothing but a great choice all around.
Ultra classy build; Amazing screen; Quality; high-resolution sound output; Phenomenal camera and software; TouchWiz is simply a joy to use anymore; and it's packed full of features to boot; Instantaneous fingerprint recognition; Best overall performance on the market; Water and dust proof
Speaker on the body is pretty mediocre; Battery life is less than stellar; Insanely slippery; It's all glass; you don't want to drop it
You could forgive Samsung for harboring a little resentment toward Android phone buyers. After all, it gave us the Galaxy S6 – and in the process answered the most vocal and persistent criticisms of build quality and style, among other things – only to see sales fail to live up to expectations.
