BARCELONA – These are perhaps the two most important Android phones of the year Samsung had even Mark Zuckerberg invited to support their notice: the Samsung Galaxy Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. In this hands-on we discuss them
Draft:. Galaxy S6 underwater
at first glance, the design of the Galaxy S7 little different from that of the Galaxy S6. Yet there is a great improvement: the smartphone is waterproof. Samsung has succeeded without further impact on the design, so there are no valves. Although we could not keep the phone under water in the event of Samsung, we assume that thanks to the IP68 certification should be no problem. Regardless of which water resistance, the cut edges of the Galaxy S6 disappeared and the glass on the front a little bit crooked cut with normal S7 model. Therefore everything runs seamlessly into one another and make the device better in the hand. However, we found the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge happen just what ponderous than their predecessors, which probably has to do with the devices with 7.9 and 7.7 millimeter thicker than the S6 series.
a beautiful and high quality designed smartphone with water resistance as fine bonus
another distinct advantage of the design is that there is again created room for a micro sd input. We are very happy, because it surely was one of the drawbacks of the Galaxy S6. All in all, the Galaxy S7 is a beautiful and high quality designed smartphone with water resistance as fine bonus.
blazing performance
You could see the Samsung Galaxy S6 already not really accuse that he performed poorly, but the Galaxy S7 scores in this area clearly better. The smartphone will be equipped in Europe with an 8 Exynos processor; a Samsung itself octacoreprocessor with four 2.3GHz cores and four 1.6GHz cores. There is also a variant with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chip and unfortunately we do not know which version we had in our hands during our hands-on. But what we do know is that he was fast. Of course ran the fluent interface, but also traditional problems such as opening the multitasking menu appear for the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge no problem. In that respect, the device, with its 4GB memory also is not wrong endowed, clearly a step ahead of the devices currently on the market. How he is going to relate across devices like the LG G5 we will of course have to see later.
The only thing that could throw a spanner in the works is the TouchWiz interface. Which is not much adapted in front of the Galaxy, and S6 in which the relatively heavy device interface, over time, proved to be the quantity still to slow down some. Or, when the Galaxy S7 happens again we can not say, but that chance is it in there. Incidentally runs the Galaxy S7 Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
What we do know is that the Galaxy S7 is fast
Also in battery field the Galaxy S7 should not perform wrong. We unfortunately can not verify during our brief encounter with the unit in Barcelona, but on paper it sounds pretty good. Ordinary Galaxy S7 has a 3000mAh battery; Galaxy S7 Edge has a 3600mAh battery. The devices are suitable for fast loading and can also be wirelessly recharged quickly, so you can easily stop some extra power in the device should it be needed.
Great screen with or without edge
the screen is the area where the Galaxy S7 and S7 Galaxy Edge the most differences. The Galaxy S7 has a flat screen with a diagonal of 5.1 inches, the Galaxy S7 Edge has a larger 5.5-inch screen that is finished on both sides. That conclusion, which we now know from Samsung brings some more functional capabilities than the Galaxy S6 Edge. So you can at the edge screen display a news ticker, weather or sports scores. In addition, the now familiar shortcuts to apps or contacts again present. Whether you display functions will often use remains to be seen anyway; Galaxy S6 Edge appeared curved screen also especially to be valued for aesthetic reasons by users.
The curved screen is probably mainly valued for aesthetic reasons
The screens themselves are particularly good. They have a resolution of 2650 × 1440 pixels, making them look very sharp. the contrast is very high and the colors that the display shows are also very beautiful because of the amoledtechnologie used. Moreover, they all known benefits and the screen is not clearly better than that of the Galaxy S6. But that is no shame: even smartphone had a very nice display
Good camera, even in the dark
Perhaps the biggest improvement in the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. the camera. Not the number of megapixels: that’s even gone down from 16 to 12. And those 12 million pixels are larger according to Samsung, enabling them to focus better and absorb more light. In addition, the camera has received a larger aperture of F1.7 and he uses so-called “dual pixel technology. What the latter means exactly Samsung did not very clearly to explain, but at least it ensures that the camera can quickly focus and shooting in the dark pretty pictures. That may sound especially if a whole bunch of nice marketing words, but at first glance, Samsung seems to make it true. We could see the Galaxy S7 past week just as trying a nightly Madurodam and the photographs that we could make it looked really impressive. Selfies shoot the Galaxy S7 moreover in 5 megapixel, also with a large aperture of F1.7. We have at first glance little to be desired, but very specifically, the self-portraits you with the Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge not make.
Samsung Galaxy S7 enhances the best of last year
all in all, we can say that the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Galaxy have improved their predecessors successful. The design might not really changed, but internally there are certainly made the necessary good improvements. Especially the camera and the performance appears to have had a good upgrade and the fact that the devices have become watertight is a nice plus. Real negatives we have preliminarily can not detect and that speaks for the quality that Samsung delivers here. Of course we will have to see later whether that positive image persists after longer use of the device.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge will be available from March 11 for a suggested retail price of € 699 and € respectively 799.
