Samgun Galaxy S7 - The 4 errors and 6 truths

The Samsung Galaxy S7 is so far the best smartphone of the Mobile World Congress 2016 without exception and probablamente be the best of the year. What are your strengths and weaknesses, if any? We are checking below.

Water resistance

Have a smartphone resist a dip, however short, is no easy task, let alone if we are not well prepared to sacrifice thickness or weight in the process. In the case of S7, the seal is internal, and allows the terminal can remain submerged for half an hour without problems (IP68).

SD card slot

Samsung claims to listen to their consumers, and really is in a position to do so, because the S7 has recovered from oblivion one of the most popular components: SD card slot. It's a maneuver worthy of consideration because it allows cost-effectively extend the life of the terminal. Hopefully other companies (not look at anyone, Apple) to do the same with complaints about poor memory of some of their models. Samsung has already shown that it is not a design problem, just will fix it or not.

Liquid refrigeration

The idea of taking a circuit with liquid inside the smartphone may seem risky, but it was time someone paid attention to the problem of heating of the phones. Although the idea is not original (the original patent is Fujitsu) glad to see it integrated into a terminal the size of the Galaxy S7.

Screen Always ON

Not the number of times only active terminal to check the time, or to check if I have come fleetingly notifications. All these battery powered consume a tedious added to my daily life gesture. The new feature that allows you to display information on the screen constantly (unless we have the smartphone in your pocket) with a minimum expenditure of energy was something that only Samsung could do with their AMOLED screens. Technology well used.

Camera

Actually it did not need to take out the Samsung sleeve biased comparisons with the iPhone 6. Galaxy S6 camera and he was brilliant, and S7 is simply brutal. Increasing the size of pixel sensor, reducing the opening to f / 1.8 and multi-pronged approach they merely further refine an almost perfect camera. The best on the market today.

Opting for virtual reality

At Mobile World Congress there were some who would tip drew viewers to the unique deployment of VR Samsung event with a "That's their surplus stock". They are probably right, that the Korean has not sold many Gear VR as expected, and that's why he is dealing with both hands. More than reason jest, I find the tenacity of Samsung in the field of virtual reality quite commendable. New technology does not reach the market if no firms making a firm commitment for them. Now Samsung is probably paying more than what goes into virtual reality, but it is a very long-term strategy. On the table two competing ways of understanding this technology: as an accessory PC (Oculus Rift and HTC Vive) or as an accessory to the mobile, and Samsung is very clear their side.

The mistakes

non-removable battery

For depleting smartphone in less than a day, the battery is still a pending issue since the Galaxy Samsung decided to abandon their use by an integrated battery in the Galaxy S6. The only way to prolong the autonomy of passes using bulky external battery case or terminal. No solution, but it's not very elegant.

repairability

The non-removable battery leads to another point where S7 limps a little. The Samsung Galaxy S6 was not very friendly with the technical services, and his successor pint is on the same path, or worse if we consider to be observed sealing mechanisms to reassemble. Lovers Home Electronic DIY have a challenge ahead.

Advantage over the edge

The Samsung Galaxy Edge is still a bit like pizza, which is tasty until you get to the edges. The new graphical interface UX Edge confirms some just that: the original idea of ​​the Edge is a mere aesthetic artifice with more style than function. No doubt that now the edges are much more useful, but because the new interface far surpasses the edges. It remains an element which greatly increase the price of the terminal for the amount of profit it brings. Will have to see what game gives the maneuver to open the SDK edge to third-party developers

The commitment S7 Edge

If you paid attention to the presentation you probably would realize one thing. Graphic Edge S7 dominance over its "flat" brother is all. the larger it appears in all the pictures and drink almost all the attention in the videos. True, it is visually spectacular, but inequality between the two begins to mark the S7 as the ugly brother of the family. If Samsung could choose to launch a single phone probably choose only S7 Edge, not be ruled out that his brother does not end with metal edges disappear with time.
