Samsung Galaxy S6, despite the loud protests of the older generation of fans flagowców this brand almost completely dominated the market androidofonów top class and for many months it was hard to find a full-fledged competition for the radical newness of the Korean giant. Is to Samsung Galaxy S7 able to repeat the feat and that relatively small changes from its predecessor enough to keep your interest in the brand and keep their distance relative to the competition? Convince yourself by reading our test Samsung Galaxy S7.
Samsung Galaxy S7 – full test
The first leaks about the Samsung Galaxy S7 hit to the network a few months ago and from the beginning it was clear that the developers are going to play this time much more safely and have no desire for another revolution. Instead, the Galaxy S7 is supposed to be an opportunity to refine the successful predecessor and draw with his formula of the maximum of its potential. After the official presentation of the Galaxy S7 could feel a slight hunger, because outside of the last two generations flagowców Samsung are strikingly similar to each other. Initially, neither do we approached the Galaxy S7 too enthusiastically, but after a few days of use this handset once again we have seen how some seemingly minor changes can have a big impact on the final evaluation and acceptance of the product. The Galaxy S7 not modified too many things, but what changed, really changed from his head.
Before we get into the main part of this review, we have for you an explanation. Since our test sample S7 Galaxy received only at the end of last week, we had too little time to carry out all the tests and simply ... poużywanie this smartphone to be able to spend about our final opinion. On the one hand we wanted to prepare for you the most comprehensive text on the hour of the global pictures of the embargo on the presentation of testing Galaxy S7, on the other hand we do not want to introduce you to mistake the claim that a few days can get to know the most important advantages and disadvantages flagship smartphone - especially one as important, as the Galaxy S7. This article will still be updated by the end of this week and therefore we encourage you to ask questions: what else do you want to know about this phone? What do we see? Would you like to see some tangible comparison? As far as possible we will try to see how many things you ask. Here we go!
The devil is in the details - so you can briefly summarize the differences between the Galaxy S6 and S7 Galaxy. The nature of both smartphones and the materials from which they were made, are virtually identical. The front glass, rear glass, and the edges - metal. The back surface, as in S6, beautifully painted in when it fall on the light rays. The kind of fun, but it also already seen somewhere. And then the Galaxy S7 comes to hand and ... it is difficult to believe, if more convenient successor to S6 in the hand and how much better it is used. This is mainly due to the rounded portion of the back side (proven solution already in the model Note 5) and the so-called 2.5D glass front, or details that may initially be overlooked or considered negligible, and without which now - after getting used to the Galaxy S7 - housing Galaxy S6 seems somehow strange ... clumsy. A, and Galaxy S7 "hurt" holders predecessor in another way - if you manage to somehow get used to the protruding camera S6 and does not think his element unsightly this phone, after seeing live S7 and its camera can quickly change your mind;)
The arrangement of the buttons, ports, and other housing parts there were no more substantial changes, which on one hand is an advantage Galaxy S7, on the other - a disadvantage of this phone, but because some standard solutions used by Samsung might have to retire. Very cool that Samsung holds placement of the buttons below the screen, very good, that the Power of the screen is still on the right edge of the casing and volume control - on the left. All these buttons are a model of ergonomics and their mechanics it is prime. Samsung fine-tuned the system for years and we hope that we will see him in the smartphones of the brand as long as possible.
But we really wanted to get something done with a tiny speaker located on the lower edge of the housing and the fingerprint scanner integrated with the home button. We hope that employees of Samsung once suspiciously at Sony how to make discreet, but decent stereo speakers at the front, a fingerprint reader begins to act like smartphones Huawei, Nexus and iPhone. Speaker S7 often turns out to be too small and wearing this phone in your pocket, the more noisy environments, regularly przegapialiśmy telephone bell, while the reader very often unlocked system only after two or three attempts to scan. We can live with that, but nevertheless, we believe that Samsung can afford more.
This text was so far a lot of comparisons to the Galaxy S6, S7 Galaxy but again there are two solutions that in flagowcu Samsung last time we saw at times ... Galaxy S5. As for the card slot micro-SD and waterproof. The memory card can be inserted into the same drawer pull-out from the upper edge of the casing, which is inserted in a nano-SIM card, and waterproof is IP68 certified, which should last half-hour immersion to a depth of 1.5 meters (but does not include salt water!) and this despite the fact that the Galaxy S7 will not find any flaps or other plugs. Such waterproof we like.
Overall, the changes made in the Galaxy S7 assess very positively, but carry with them one catch: Galaxy S7 is a millimeter thicker and about 15 grams heavier than the S6. Us these increased dimensions do not interfere, the more that mainly due to the battery capacity has increased by 450 mAh, but not everyone gets them to your taste.
TouchWiz and Android 6.0
Samsung Galaxy S6 rolled his head not only the appearance and quality of smartphones worldwide, and their software. TouchWiz has been completely redesigned, slim and refreshed, so he began to look and act like the flagship genuine befitting. Though not all at once went perfectly and the Galaxy S6 for months been plagued by problems with memory management, it is a new direction of development TouchWiz met with the approval of the majority of users.
S7 Software Galaxy is a continuation of the concept initiated by its predecessor, which was built based on Android 6.0. There have been a few new features, but it is still very slim and relatively lightweight overlay, which uses with pleasure.
We like the look of a large configurable home screen. After a long hold your finger on the wallpaper, menu appears allowing you to change the theme, screen orientation, and size of grid applications. Particularly useful is the last option, because it enables you to choose whether you want to be on a 16, 20 or 25 icons. Besides, parts of the system settings menu sutured even an option to disable the standard Runner drawers with applications, turning on all the shortcuts to installed applications are transferred to another home screens. This solution straight from iOS is very popular in smartphones Chinese brands and has a large group of supporters (though in our editorial rather have more opponents) and, well, that Samsung gives your smartphone choice.
A completely new feature introduced in Galaxy S7 Allways On Display, and very glad that in the end she went to smartphones Samsung AMOLED screens that are just begging to use them in this way. After activating it, the display dormant phone is placed on a permanent basis, clock, date and small notification icons (or you can turn the clock on the preview calendar), so check the hours and whether you have received any new e-mails, no longer requires pressing the buttons. In addition, all of this has little impact on the rate of discharge to your phone, so almost a sin to not use this feature. However, we have some objection: why is there so little configuration options? Da here is to select whether you want to see the clock or calendar, and select a background image for the clock and end. Really it would be cool to have more control over what is displayed on the screen and how it looks. We hope that this feature will be developed and more and more useful.
Since the new TouchWiz is based on Android 6.0, found in him some new developed by Google, but Samsung's developers decided not to implement everything Marshmallow Android has to offer. The fastest notes a new mechanism for rights management applications that are now allocated massively during the installation, and the one after running nowozainstalowanego program when he wants to take advantage of some features of the phone for the first time. In other words, you have here used to press the "Allow". It should also be familiar with the menu for managing notifications sent by the application. Just use the power of one switch to a program or game, they stopped us namolnie inform about new promotions, updates, and other nonsense. Theoretically, disabling notifications is nothing new, but now access this feature is easier and you have more control over it.
But absentee Android 6.0 by Samsung is the function to rewrite a memory card installed in the phone for a full media system, which automatically installs applications and have their cache. In theory, this is a very useful option, and it would be good if the user can choose whether to use it or not, but some programmers understand why Samsung chose to notch her with his version Marshmallow'a. The first problem is that the memory card is formatted and working up to the extension of the media system, the card can no longer be removed from your phone. The second problem is related to a typical speed of memory cards. Samsung uses in their flagowcach very fast UFS media, which have a very big, positive impact on system performance. If, however, applications and cache started to be migrated to a very cheap card micro-SD (let's face it - hardly anyone buys a card expensive UHS-I and UHS-II and for most people, the priority is the conversion of gigabytes per penny), it would be very negative impact on the responsiveness of software and ... most people would assume that the fault lies with the Samsung, not their poor memory. Of course we would prefer that this option was not completely removed, but to be moved, for example, to the hidden menu of programming options, but all we see in this a certain logic.
The latest version TouchWiz'a there were also popularized by Samsung features split-screen in half and display two applications at the same time, and to show selected programs in the "floating" windows.
On the other hand, a little bit funny this is what Samsung has done with the pre-installed applications. The new TouchWiz was supposed to be a light was not to be in it unnecessary applications, which largely succeeded, but you can see in all this a lack of consistency. When you first start the Galaxy S7 eyes cast numerous Microsoft applications (Word, Excel, etc.) And Google, in contrast with the lack of ... Samsungowego music player and movies. We did not particularly bothered, because the media play in all tested by our smartphones use the same software purchased from the Play Store, but many people seeing this might be wondering why on S7 preinstalled Play Music app, and is not installed "musician" Samsung, which find in the store Galaxy Apps is not so easy and obvious ...
In summary, to Samsung managed to refresh its TouchWiz and to add new features (I still wonder how the first version of Galaxy S6 could run out of options in sorting applications ...), and at the same time avoid the perception of information overload and unnecessary bajerami. Keep it up!
Almost model connectivity with minor deficiencies
Samsung is always trying to be installed in their flagship smartphones all communications technical innovations and tradition was upheld in the Galaxy S7, although the practical use of all these new modules and modems is not easy.
The hardest thing will be to find a place where could feel the full potential of the modem LTE Cat 12/13, providing a theoretical maximum download speed of up to 600 Mb / s and upload speed of up to 150 Mb / sec, because at the time of writing no operator in the world can boast commercial infrastructure in its class. Few will be easier to find gadgets with Bluetooth 4.2 (the specification of this version of the Bluetooth standard implies 2.5 times faster maximum data transfer than with Bluetooth 4.1 devices, so sending files between two Samsungami Galaxy S7 should be much more efficient, than between two Samsungami Galaxy S6), or Wi-Fi router ac compatible with MU-MIMO. In short, the use of these new products at the event is small, but buying a Samsung Galaxy S7 are sure that you get the best and that his ability to connect with the world and other devices are immune to the passage of time, like an atomic bomb shelter ...
On a more mundane solutions, we must be very proud of this mobile handset and implemented in the mechanism of the active noise reduction. The quality of phone calls is really sensational. During our tests we spoke on the Galaxy S7 at a busy railway platform and even in noisy environments ... it was necessary to decrease the call volume. Also the other side of the conversation she had no problem with a comfortable understanding of the words mingled with the noise of passing trains and inhibiting. I have not had to deal with a phone that would be so great was doing in such difficult conditions. The only pity is that the built-in speaker does not hold the same high level and enough street noise and deeper pants pocket to miss out on an incoming call becomes the rule and not the exception ...
We have no objections to the quality of antennas, stability and speed of the connection to a Wi-Fi or cellular, or to the quality of phone calls, but to be completely happy, we lack the Galaxy S7 two things: the faster USB port and return infrared port, occurring after the Galaxy S6 . No USB plug type C, efficient USB controller (at least 3.0, or such as the Galaxy S5) and the ability to configure the smartphone as a replacement for home remote control is not the end of the world, but still earlier flagship Samsung accustomed us to a lack of tolerance for compromise in this matter and pity, so pity that in S7, however, ran out of useful solutions.
Multimedia support 4
Multimedia support mostly been one of the stronger sides smartphones belonging to the Galaxy family, but this time we have the impression that Samsung had slept several trends promoted by the competition, which S7 falls in this area ... just fine.
Already on the previous page we mentioned that after the first run this smartphone will not find in the normal player, movies and music Samsung, which for some users may be a little confusing and surprising. Once installed, they discovered that they do not shock your functionality and rather stick to the essential basics. Possibilities video decoder are typical for this class of equipment, that is, it supports videos with a resolution of UHD encoded AVC codecs and HEVC the basic 8-bit versions. Decoded video can be viewed on the beautiful screen Galaxy S7, send them wirelessly using Miracast or wired - cable MHL3. Samsung Galaxy S7 does not support the audio codec AC3.
Playing music goes to Samsung Galaxy S7 ... correctly. Already in two places in this article mentioned that does not convince us to each speaker and the smartphone we will emphasize it again. That is, the speaker itself is not bad and if nothing stands in the way of sound generated by him, that he can play loud and clear. The problem is how easy it is to hide it, and make it virtually useless ...
However, the quality headphone ... two years ago we would not have major objections to it. However, such flagship smartphones like HTC or LG latest products make of headphone outputs smartphones we expect now more than ever. The on our market Exynosowej version of the Galaxy S7 is responsible for the sound DAC probably designed by Cirrus Logic (current owner, a former Wolfson) and writes out its task very well, but not very. Characteristics of the sound is a darker side, so it will appeal to the supporters of planning, clear, analytical sound, but the characters will give you just a little bit more systematic lack of headphone amplifier. Less demanding headphones are supported on contact or with a slight supply of power, and for the most demanding it may already somewhat lacking. We emphasize that in this paragraph cling a little. The vast majority of users of Samsung Galaxy S7 will be pleased with how they play plugged headphones into it. On the other hand we want to emphasize that among on the market flagowców already becoming easier to find a better playing smartphones - mainly offer HTC, LG and Apple - and that in their direction they should turn its attention to the most demanding music lovers.
The screen, as usual, close to perfection
During testing, the screen Galaxy S6 wondering exactly what else could be improved it and did not find too many things. Samsung engineers have apparently also had problems with this, so that the display Galaxy S7 looks very familiar and amendments in relation to the display of Galaxy S6 have to search a little more, and they concern only details.
Resolution (2560 × 1440) and screen size (5.1 inches) remained unchanged - and well, because legitimate UHD smartphones (not like the Xperia Z5 Premium) is still a little too early. Left here too standard, very we liked the choice of three color profiles, allowing you to select whether you want to have to see less intense color calibrated for sRGB, or more intense colors calibrated to the Adobe RGB color space, and can visually appealing, but firmly detached from Indeed candy colors straight from the first floor AMOLED Samsung. Strengths dies Samsung also remains very high maximum brightness, set by the automation when it is needed (after switching off the automatic brightness control that gives maximum manually adjust the screen brightness is around 350 cd / m2). Well, the perfect black remains perfectly black.
So what we fixed? Clocks. Introduced function Always On Display, slightly improved anti-glare layer and viewing angles (the characteristic purple zafarb is a little less visible than older models). Besides, automatic brightness control in S7 is smarter - if you manually correct the automation, the software remembers set by its brightness measured by the meter and the brightness of ambient light and then uses the data to improve their algorithms.
So you will not find here any revolutionary solutions, but without them we can safely say that the Samsung Galaxy S7 has the best screen existing smartphones. Just the screen predecessor was so good and so much better than the competition, that revolutions are not yet needed and only holders Gear VR may feel disappointed that Samsung is not pressed with the introduction of UHD resolution.
It remains only one big unknown. AMOLED screens are known for their tendency to burn out, and that can be formed on them afterimages. Is matrices assembled in the Galaxy S7 finally clearing up these problems? About this, unfortunately, we find only a few, several months .
Much bigger battery, but ...
Galaxy ... S7, in some situations, may discharge more quickly than Galaxy S6. Immediately we mark that we spent too little time with this phone to fully feel what you can expect from the battery capacity of 3000 mAh, so this section will be updated yet, but we already have some observations.
It seems that during the typical use - from listening to music, surfing the web, writing mejli and sending messages on the messaging in the main role - you can count on approximately 4-4.5 hours time spent with screen on as a result .. . properly, for this class of equipment. When using this phone, but you have to remember a few important details. First, the maximum screen brightness. In a very sunny day Automatic sets very high brightness that is comfortable and allows for comfortable viewing images even in the middle of the desert, but drains the battery at express pace. Sometimes it is prudent to turn off automatic control and manually move the brightness slider to the right as possible. Secondly, when you activate the Always On display, this phone uses at rest less than 1% of battery power per hour. Thirdly, the new Samsung processor has a sizable appetite for electricity. In part this is due to the fact that the new Exynos much more frequently and longer maintains the maximum clocks layout, significantly better doing it yourself with demanding games, but the end result is that the Samsung Galaxy S7 can be discharged demanding 3D games in about 2 hours . So the running time of this phone on a single charge very much depends on what is on it does and how it sets up (even change theme interface darker and representation of the profile a color screen on the Basic gives a noticeable improvement in results), but that has charm flagship today. Despite this, we evaluate it (at least for now, based on our previous observations) as good.
At the end it is worth noting that, as in the Galaxy S6, implemented in seven of fast charging technology, which allows it to charge from 0 to 100% takes about 1.5 hours. This smartphone will also charge wirelessly, and is compatible with both leading wireless charging standards.
Less larger pixels and a much better autofocus
For many people, it may be strange that the camera is the latest flagship of Samsung has a lower resolution (12 MP) than its predecessor (16 MP). Besides, the Samsung Galaxy S7 returned in the matrices with an aspect ratio of 4: 3, so if I delight in pictures 16: 9, in the Galaxy S7 they have only 9 MP. What is going on? Mainly for improving image quality in low-light conditions, where fewer larger pixels (in the IMX260 sensor mounted in the S7 pixels have a side length of 1.4 micrometer) often gives better results than smaller ones (S6 pixels have a side length of 1.1 micrometres ).
The new autofocus
The Galaxy S7 decided not only to improve image quality in low light, but also significantly improve the function of auto focus in difficult conditions as a result of the use of technology Dual Pixel AF (photographers may be associated with some of the new SLR Canon), in which each pixel of the matrix has two photodiodes, and one of them is used by the phase detection mechanism. So the 12-megapixel Galaxy S7 has 12 million pixels dedicated Auto Focus-based detection phase, while the Galaxy S6 such pixels covered only a few percent of the matrix.
We love the way chosen by Samsung camera S7. The truth is that nowadays even a smartphone for less than $ 1,000 can make a really nice pictures on a sunny day, without departing from the quality of images from several times more expensive flagowców. In contrast, the vast majority of smartphones has more or less problems with taking pictures in low light. Even if a flagship is equipped with a good array and optical stabilization, it is often the speed and accuracy of auto focus trying to detect anything in a dimly lit room cry out to heaven for vengeance. The new autofocus Galaxy S7 puts an end to such problems, and not just on paper but also in practice. It does not really exist at the moment the second smartphone market, which able to cope with focusing in all conditions as well as the Galaxy S7. All laser autofokusy and other peculiarities of this type can hide;)
In software, there were no major changes. Automatic mode still works quickly, pleasantly and smoothly, which is very characteristic and we liked cameras feature Samsung's smartphones. From the point of view of the person seeking camera giving to handle only one button is almost perfect, because the wrong settings very rare and almost never needs user intervention.
Galaxy S7 is also another flagship Samsung with sensational implemented HDR mode - we'd want to live view operation HDR-in was a standard in its class, not something reserved almost exclusively for the 'Samsung Galaxy S.
Besides, we are pleased that at the end of a regular feature cameras Samsung has become a connecting point of the exposure metering point distance measurement and display the pop-up slider adjustment of exposure, so you get properly exposed images in them is as easy and enjoyable as it should.
Besides automatic mode, the software camera Galaxy S7 sutured several additional modes, so what as a very good wide mode (the resulting images can be tens megapixel resolution, and are folded almost immediately and without error), the manual mode (you can also set the all important parameters of the camera and turn save images in RAW format, but it is not so useful and powerful, like the manual mode cameras flagowców LG), or a special mode for shooting ... food. In addition, the camera Galaxy S7 is fully compatible with androidowym Camera2 API, so if someone does not correspond to the standard software, you can always replace them with something more extensive available in the Play Store.
In summary, revolutions in software is not followed, but using it still feels good, and his strongest side is speed and automatic mode.
Image quality
We already know that autofocus camera Galaxy S7 is brilliant, we know that the software is good, but what about image quality? Its rating is not too easy and obvious. Reducing the native resolution of the Samsung at his own request made their competitors some room to maneuver and retired from racing on megapixels. There is no secret that much of the competition (and even the Galaxy S6, especially when compared with each other pictures of 16: 9!), Under favorable conditions, will register the pictures for more details. It is enough to look carefully at photographs with a large number of grass and trees, to note that the camera Galaxy S7 is not always on the road with small, densely packed details. Besides, a very bright optical aperture of F / 1.7 has contributed to a deterioration of image quality in the corners of the frame.
But when conditions are getting less favorable, Galaxy S7 starts to shine (no casing of this phone is not fluorescent;)). Many times we were astound information read the EXIF data of photos night. "This is the ISO 1000 from your smartphone? I do not believe. "- Reactions have not been isolated and quickly convince doubters about the reasonableness of the camera Galaxy S7.
And in this lies the strength of this camera. Do not beat on record resolution, has some disadvantages and problems (for example, we would prefer to automation was setting shorter exposure times), but using it is incredibly pleasant, hassle-free, and after pulling it out of his pocket and press the shutter button it gives almost 100% certainty that right away, instantly receives a nicely saturated, well exposed and just a nice-looking, sharp image - regardless of lighting conditions. In other words, competition sometimes gives better results when shooting test patterns, and when viewing images under a magnifying glass, but not enough that the phone will give you better results when shooting ... life. And, he said classic, "life can not fool 'The camera Galaxy S7 is not so perfect, and some may conclude that differences in terms of S6 are too small (especially that in some respects there was still regress!), But without a doubt this is one of our favorite smartphones cameras.
tests camerasCamera Galaxy S7 can actually the same as the camera Galaxy S6: UHD shoot movies, Full HD video at 60 fps., And Full HD video HDR. During filming in 1080p it is also possible to include an additional, very effective, digital image stabilization, great leveling any vibrations, which can not cope stabilization Optical (in other words, this additional stabilization excel in movies filmed during the march). Nothing new, everything we had in the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge +. The image quality is also almost identical, but up here, there was little can be improved, so this is not a complaint. A little more amendments have been made in the software camera - especially in manual mode. It is not quite as extensive as in the LG V10, but at least now possible to pre-adjust the exposure before you start shooting and then seamlessly change it during filming. But those who have not enough really great and fast continuous autofocus Galaxy S7 They can always use the manual focus option, also available while shooting. (the plot so far accounted for LG V10), but it keeps a high level.
Samsung processor cores Samsung ...
The fact that Samsung may itself to design and produce its processors, the Galaxy S6 has not been marked by the well-known with its competition problems Snapdragon 810 and wired long held the crown of the most efficient smartphone with Android on the market. This year's flagship Exynos 8890, which is mounted in Samsungach Galaxy S7 sold outside of the US and China (where buyers receive a Snapdragon 820), was not only "put together the building blocks" and produced by the staff of Samsung, but this is the first SoC of the company, which included the processor cores designed by its engineers. In other words, the Korean giant wants to be like Qualcomm, Apple and Nvidia, and not as Huawei and MediaTek;)
Cores Samsung called M1 (also known under the code name Mongoose, or mongoose), they are compatible with the ARMv8 and their assumptions and structure are very similar to core Cortex-A72. Exynos 8890 is composed of four cores M1 clocked to 2.6 GHz (the word "to" is the key here, because the 2.6 GHz is the Galaxy S7 achieved only when charged with one processor core), quad-core Cortex-A53 clocked at 1.6 GHz and twelve clusters MaliT880 GPU clocked at 650 MHz. All is accompanied by 4 GB of memory LPDDR4-1800 (Galaxy S6 is 3 GB of memory LPDDR4-1552).
Well, and how it translates into practice? Exynos 8890 is very, very fast. We do not know if you can call it the fastest and most smartfonowym processor on the market, because I have not tested devices with Snapdragon 820, but the Exynos previous generation flagowców Samsung and Snapdragon 810 are not at all competitive, and even Kirin 950 Huawei Mate 8 does not look so impressive as a few weeks ago ... Relative Exynos 7420 Galaxy S6, CPU performance has increased by 15-30%, while the performance of GPU - tooo depends, because some tests productivity growth is almost zero, and in others as high as 100%. It all depends on the characteristics of the test and of where they are in the so-called bottlenecks. There is no doubt, however, that in most cases Galaxy S7 should be at least half as efficient in games than its predecessor.
Interestingly enough, the performance of the Galaxy S7 is high not only in the short benchmarks, but also during a long load. It is true that the situation is not ideal, because the CPU and GPU of this smartphone throtlują, but lead to overheating of them is more difficult than in the Galaxy S6, and the case faster releases the excess heat and allows the re-operation of the device at full speed. Translated into practice, if S6 sudden drop in performance can be observed after a few dozen minutes of playing, then in S7 you have to wait for much longer ... and in many cases you can not even wait. Once again: yes, the processor in the Galaxy S7 throtluje and can be slowed, but it is much less troublesome than in the Galaxy S6. We did not expect.
During typical use, ie when surfing through the network uses different smartfonowych applications and amortized on a message noticing higher yields Galaxy S7 is very difficult. Already predecessor, thanks to modern processor and carrier UFS is a very well-functioning phone, where a lot of things going on virtually instantaneously, so it is difficult in this respect do better. For now, we did not notice problems with memory management system Galaxy S7, but we still need a few days to look at this closely.
In sum. Is Galaxy S7 is a fast smartphone? As hell.
preliminary summary
As mentioned at the beginning of this article, the Samsung Galaxy S7 spent a little too little time to issue him a definitive judgment, but we know about him enough to write a preliminary summary. To a large extent this is the "merit" of how the latest flagship of the Korean giant is similar to its - already well all known and proven in battle - the predecessor. It's a fact that relative to the Galaxy S6 improved here almost everything, but the fact also is that all these changes hardly revolutionary (only new autofocus could be trying to pull up to the title of revolutionary) and in most cases these are only minor iterations of the solutions shown year ago.
However, these are very good and thoughtful iterations that make during testing times wypowiadaliśmy words like "can not be so immediately?". The new shape of the housing is great place for a memory card accepted with great joy, and water resistance is always a nice addition in a world in which a large part of the deaths of smartphones is the result of diving them in the toilet;) New features such as Allways On Display and Dual Pixel AF not overturn the world upside down, but after getting used to them, a man returns to Galaxy S6, it ... something in it very, very lacking.
You can noses that changes are only small iterations that we got this year, more of the same, that some things could have been done better (our most disturbed by the built-in speaker, the lack of a decent USB hard average fingerprint scanner and difficult to predict the time battery life) and many other things. It's turning his nose does not change the fact, however, that it was "more of the same" means in practice "more smartphone, which will be the main contender for the title of smartphone of the year" because saying "near the apple does not fall from the tree" is not only suitable for horticulture and people;) Once we reconciled with the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S6S S7 is as it is, we reap the joy of how good a smartphone. But by the end we could not find an answer to the question whether it is better to buy the latest flagship of Samsung, however, whether to buy a little worse predecessor and enjoy thousands of gold in your pocket. Everyone will have to decide for themselves.
