Description
An updated version of the Samsung S6 range, the Samsung Galaxy S7 has other unique features up its sleeve too. It is a dust-resistant, waterproof gadget that can withstand 150cm of water for up to half an hour. So say goodbye to those mini-heart attacks that occur every time a little water or tea spills on your phone or even a drop in a puddle. Bringing back the micro-SD card slot – this features extensive memory storage allowing you to store at your will.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 comes with an Always-On Display feature too – a feature designed to keep convenience in mind. The need to reach over and always switch your phone on to check notifications, date or time is eliminated with the Always-On Display that, as the name implies, keeps your display on. This feature could raise a few eyebrows concerning the device?s battery life, if always-on. However, according to the Korean firm, it only consumes 1% battery life per hour and would even help in decreasing normal battery usage as users would not be turning on their phone screens as typically done.
Design-wise, both the front and back panels are more curved, improving the ergonomics of the device. Because of the bigger battery, the S7 device is about a millimetre thicker than the S6, thereby also decreasing the camera hump on the back.
Speaking of the camera, Galaxy S7 has tweaked its features in an exciting and unique manner. Decreasing the megapixel count of the primary sensor from 16 to 12 megapixels, Samsung has increased the actual pixel size – allowing the sensor to capture more light with a brighter lens and a wider aperture. It also comes with dual-pixel technology, which provides more accurate auto-focus and also helps improve low-light performance and shutter speed. Further, Samsung?s water-cooling effect incorporated in the Galaxy S7 ensures the phones vital parts do not overheat. Finally, the device comes in 4 colours; black onyx, white pearl, silver titanium, and gold platinum.
