Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge Review. Last year's Samsung Galaxy S6 launch was a huge departure for a company that had begun to take for granted that its name was synonymous with Android. After years of doing pretty much anything it liked and still staying at the top of global sales charts, Samsung was starting to see signs that plastic phones with bloated software and thoughtless design weren't going to cut it anymore, especially when the rest of the industry was beginning to ship phones that felt luxurious and slick. Naturally, we all took notice when Samsung ditched nearly all of its long- held traditions and launched the gorgeous metal- and- glass Galaxy S6 (Review . Moreover, it made its debut with a sibling, the Galaxy S6 Edge (Review . Samsung Wallpapers - Samsung desktop wallpapers - 478 1920x10x1200 wallpapers. The Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro mobile features a 6.0" (15.24 cm) display and runs on Android v6.0 (Marshmallow) operating system. The device is powered by a Octa core (1. Not all was right, though - users complained that the Galaxy S6's makeover was a step too far, and lamented the loss a removable battery, micro. SD card slot, and water resistance. It's been a year since then, and now even sub- Rs. The Android market, especially in India, is a lot more crowded than it used to be, and Samsung is not untouchable at the top anymore. Samsung, therefore, has multiple challenges when it comes to its Galaxy S7 family: the phones have to outdo their predecessors, appeal to purists without taking any steps backwards, and most importantly, feel like they're worth spending a lot of money on when the next best options are good enough. We're going to see whether or not the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge deliver on all these counts. Look and feel. Samsung has differentiated the Galaxy S7 and its curved sibling a bit more than it did last year. Buyers of the recently launched Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ (Review . The S7 Edge is certainly a handful, but it isn't totally unmanageable. The biggest problem with it is that the glass is so slick and the metal edges so narrow that we didn't always feel that we had a secure enough grip on it. The more vanilla Galaxy S7, however, seems to fit perfectly in the hand. The curved back and flat sides gave us more than enough control. The glass front is still a bit extruded and has gently rounded edges, which meet the metal as if flowing into it. When it comes to the choice between a flat and a curved display, each has its own appeal. Using the Galaxy S7 after having spent time with the S7 Edge feels almost constricting. You become very aware of the hard rectangular screen border, whereas the S7 Edge feels boundless. However, content does wrap around the edges, so it's sometimes hard to hit buttons on the curved screen, and you lose a little bit of the picture when playing games and watching movies. As we noted with the Galaxy S6 Edge, the curved glass will pick up reflections no matter how you hold it, and that can become annoying when trying to focus on content. The displays of the two phones are different in more ways than just shape and size. We found that at least for our review units, the Galaxy S7 looked a little darker and crisper, while the S7 Edge didn't have as much contrast and in fact had a slightly more yellow colour tone. None of this would be apparent if you didn't hold the two side by side; they're both very impressive screens, befitting their status as flagship device displays. In most other respects, the two siblings are identical. Everything is in the same place on both: a physical home button with integrated fingerprint reader below the screen, capacitive Back and Recents buttons, a power button on the right, and volume buttons on the left. The physical ones on the S7 Edge are a little narrower, but no more or less easy to use. For some reason, Samsung decided not to jump on the USB Type- C bandwagon, as nearly every other company already has. Both phones have standard Micro- USB ports on the bottom, with a 3. A tray on the top can hold either two Nano- SIMs or one Nano- SIM and one micro. SD card. While we're never happy to see hybrid slots which force users to choose, it is at least a step above the Galaxy S6 series which dispensed with storage expansion and didn't give users any choice in the matter at all. Another interesting thing about the phones' SIM trays is that they have rubber flanges to protect against ingress. Both phones are rated IP6. Galaxy S5 (Review . Each one has an identical module to the right, comprised of the flash and a heart rate sensor. There's a shiny silver Samsung logo lower down, and only if you look really hard will you see the incredibly light regulatory text near the bottom. We received test units of both the Galaxy S7 and the S7 Edge in Black Onyx, which is actually a little grey. We couldn't help but see faint echoes of the Space Grey i. Phone 6 in the dull metal frames of both these phones. The other colour options are Gold Platinum and Silver Titanium - it seems the bright jewel colours of the Galaxy S6 series haven't been carried over. The phones do seem durable, though of course falls onto hard surfaces will leave dents and dings. However, one thing that became apparent within days of using them is that the surfaces of Home buttons get scuffed really, really easily. We didn't do anything rougher than carrying these phones in our pockets, but both buttons got scratched up virtually overnight. It was especially apparent given the pristine glass surrounding them. Specifications. Other than screen size and battery capacity, the Galaxy S7 siblings share a lot of the same guts. The Galaxy S7 has a 5. S7 Edge measures 5. Both are Super Amoled panels, and both have the same resolution of 1. Quad- HD. While the smaller of the two has a 3. Ah battery, the bigger one has enough space to accommodate 3. Ah unit. Samsung sells these phones with its own Exynos 8. So. C in India and some other countries, while others get Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8. The Exynos 8. 89. CPU cores, four of which are a custom in- house design called Mongoose and run at up to 2. GHz, while the other four use ARM's Cortex- A5. GHz. It also features integrated ARM Mali - T8. LTE Cat 1. 2/1. 3 support. These are all cutting- edge specs and performance should be equivalent to that of the Snapdragon 8. Qualcomm's Zeroth AI platform don't seem to be accounted for either way. There's also 4. GB of RAM, and 3. GB of fixed storage (though the 6. GB versions of both phones are not yet available in India). Micro. SD card support goes up to 2. GB and USB- OTG is available as well, which might be why there's no 1. GB option. You get Wi- Fi b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4. NFC, ANT+ and GPS, but Infrared has been dropped, so you lose the Galaxy S6's handy remote control feature. Samsung boasts of a whole new camera system, with 1. The megapixel count might seem low, but Samsung promises bigger physical pixels that capture much more light, improving autofocus speed and performance in dark conditions. Software. While we were relieved to see Samsung scale back on its bloat with previous incarnations of Touch. Wiz, it still has a relatively heavy hand when it comes to Android skinning in the Marshmallow era. The homescreens are a little cluttered, but you can get rid of Samsung's promotional . This is buried in the Settings under a Galaxy Labs section, which lets you try and vote on . Either way, The left- most homescreen is a Flipboard- powered news reader, very much like HTC's Blink. Feed. There's also a Theme Store with free and paid options in case you don't like the default icons and wallpapers. We particularly liked the Always- On Display feature, which takes us back to the days of Nokia's S6. Thanks to the way Amoled screen technology works, it takes very little battery power to light up individual pixels, and so Samsung can display the time, battery status and notifications in simple white on black whenever the phone is in standby. You can have a subtle image behind the text, and you have a few choices of clock style. Honestly, it's a little disconcerting to see the screen lit up all the time, and we wish we could have controlled the brightness - it can only be turned off completely. The Galaxy S7 Edge has a few unique touches, such as being able to flash a specific colour for a few designated contacts, and a clock that you can see at night if you're lying down. The most notable though is its Edge Panels. Pull the floating white tab on the right inwards to reveal a series of vertical strips - one for app shortcuts, one for shortcuts to common functions within the default apps, one for people, and one for news. You can flip through these by swiping a thumb, and you can download more from Samsung or third parties. Many of these extras are free, but others cost around Rs. Much like the similar implementation on Black. Berry's Priv (Review), we wound up largely ignoring the Edge Panels after the novelty wore off. We also couldn't see anything about this feature that explicitly requires a curved screen - it could work just as well on the flat Galaxy S7. Common to many of Samsung's Galaxy phones is split- screen view. This works with most of the preloaded apps, and the S7 series phones have enough screen space that you can use two apps comfortably. All you have to do is long- tap the Recents button, or use the control visible on thumbnails in the app switcher. You can also shrink apps down to smaller windows, though you can't drag and arrange them on screen. Samsung has preloaded quite a few of its own apps as well as several from Microsoft, Facebook, and of course Google. They're all sorted haphazardly - Word is on the homescreen, but Excel, Power. Point and One. Note are in a folder called Microsoft Apps. Skype is also in this folder, but Whats. App and Instagram are in a different folder called Social. Several of the preloaded apps can't be uninstalled but can be . Similar to Apple and the Watch app, Samsung gives us its Gear watch manager whether we need it or not, along with S Health and S Voice. Galaxy Apps is a storefront that offers a variety of apps, at least some of which seem useful and not spammy.
