Galaxy S7 review

As expected, Samsung has used his traditional keynote MWC to present its new Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. And as usual, the rumor was right, we are dealing with transition models with an identical design to the Galaxy S6. For the rest, it's inside that this is happening. Because the big news this year is actually a step backwards.

Samsung seems to have heard the complaints of its Galaxy S6 and S7 sign the return of sealing (IP68) introduced on the Galaxy S5 and revives a strand of its DNA with the memory card slot (up to 200GB) to expand the 32 GB internally. In addition to these highly anticipated returns, Samsung offers some technical refinements / update next photo, performance and autonomy.

Fewer pixels, but larger pixels :
The Galaxy S7 has a camera of 12 megapixels, 16 megapixels against last year. The number of megapixels is lower which will impact the dive. But by reducing the resolution while keeping the same size sensor, each pixel is larger and thus collect more light. So we should expect better pictures in low light situations. S7 also have a slightly wider aperture (f1.7 f1.9 vs the S6), the Galaxy S7 should be particularly bright to check in our next test.
Galaxy s7 camera
 
Let you say about a new  side  in the camera as "instant" which seemed very fast autofocus during demonstrations. Just like the iPhone 6S, the Galaxy S7 screen will flash to simulate a flash when you capture a selfie. Samsung has also taken the concept of Live Photos of the iPhone 6S with Motion Picture to generate moving pictures in the form of short videos.

More autonomy, even with "always on"?
Logically it is found very effective fast loading on the Galaxy S6 and recharging without induction wire. But this year, Samsung seems to have made an extra effort on autonomy with larger battery capacity 3000 mAh for the Galaxy S7 5.1 inches (against 2550 mAh Galaxy S6 on the same diagonal) and 3600 mAh Galaxy S7 Edge 5.5 inches (against 2600 mAh Galaxy S6 Edge which had a smaller diagonal, 5.1 inches). We can probably expect a greater autonomy in the past year.

Regarding the "always on" (permanent display of the time, calendar or pictures when the smartphone is locked and the screen), Samsung says it uses only 1% of the battery of the phone to check. ..
The new features have a sense of deja vu?

 Once again the rumor was right on many points. For the record, we have listed them just below.NB: the rumors are arranged chronologically. The linking to our complete articles.This year, Samsung will announce a new Galaxy S. After the acclaimed S6 in 2015 we logically have the S7 this year, we do not see why the Korean company would stray from tradition. As the annual iPhone, the Samsung flagship crystallizes a lot of expectations and it is therefore no surprise that the subject of a flood of rumors several months before its release.Thus, as we did for the iPhone 6S, we offer a summary of noise corridor on the next Korean flagship. This will easily get an idea of ​​what he will propose before it is made official, probably around the MWC in late February. Remember that this is the moment of rumors and this article will be updated as and when they appear.



Galaxy s7 concept

Double sensor

 The first rumor frankly not exceptional because it blooms every year on many of the expected devices: the presence of a dual camera sensor. Strangely recurring elsewhere, since only one major manufacturer is risky to it with mixed success: HTC, on the M8. The experiment was not repeated.

 Protected as a turtle
 September 15, 2015, Samsung Display filed a trademark with the strange name: Turtle Glass. It does not take longer for the rumor panics and sees an alternative "home" in Corning Gorilla Glass. And this house could drink more in line with the curved phones of the firm.2 x 2 = 4The range of Galaxy S7 begins to emerge. We're talking about a classic model and a model like last year. In addition, both versions could be declined in size phablet in the Edge of the line S6 +, four models in total.

 Arrival in January, as every year

 As every year, a rumor reported an early exit for the Galaxy S7, it would be presented in January 2016, as part of the CES. Like every year, we think it is wrong. We were right.
4 million pixels less
 With the Galaxy S7, Samsung would end the race on his megapixel photo sensor. The firm would opt for mpx 12 instead of 16 of S6. The aim would be to offer more fat cells and thus captures more light.

 Better and cheaper 

Almost aligned with the price of the iPhone 6, the Galaxy S6 could seem expensive. We must believe because a rumor refers to a price drop of about 10% for the S7. One way for Samsung to go in search volume. Rather logical at a time when market shares dwindle. 
20 mpx finally, and RAW photos
 Rumor has changed course, now here we'll talk a sensor 20 instead of the 12 mpx mpx mentioned above. In addition, the smartphone would be able to capture images in RAW format. Something to please the advanced photographer ... and alignment on some competitors. 
BRITECELL
 A bit of official information in this flood of rumors: Samsung announced its new photo sensor technology called BRITECELL. With a white subpixel, the firm provides to capture more light and thus improve low-light shots. The technology allows more to have thinner camera modules, which can possibly happen to prominence at the sensor.

Galaxy Wars Episode VII: The Return of the SD Card
 Samsung have heard criticism about the lack of MicroSD slot on the S6. It would therefore be back on the S7. We learn at the same time that we should not have two versions of the smartphone, classical and a 5.5-inch phablet curve screen.

Duo Pixel
 One landmark in the documents of the US Patent Office a new trademark of Samsung Duo Pixel. The principle is to have two photodiodes for each pixel in order to focus more rapid development. This technology requires larger pixels, and therefore fewer, it brings grist to the mill supporters 12 mpx.

Strength screen touch and a close design
 Sensitive screens to pressure big trend next year? Maybe. Here it is rumored that the Galaxy S7 Touch Force would be given a screen similar to the iPhone 6S and Huawei Mate S 128GB. In addition, a photo frame leakage on the canvas, shows a design with little change and USB Type-C.
galaxy s7 leak
5.1, 5.5 inches, and dual SIM 

The Indian carrier Zauba numbered list two phones GM930 and GM935, which correspond to the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, two diagonals are indicated: 5.1 and 5.5 inches. We also learn by intermediaries Taiwanese certification body a model with two SIM slots is expected, but it might only be proposed on the island. 
Announcement February 21 and March 11 release
 According to the famous leaker EvLeaks, the release date of the Galaxy S7 is set to 11 March. The phone therefore come out a month before the Galaxy S6 in his time since he arrived on 10 April. According to our information, the presentation conference will take place on February 21 in the MWC. 

Two rather than three 

Point + Edge Galaxy S7 finally. EvLeaks strikes again by publishing two logos, and two logos only, corresponding to the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. Samsung would therefore ignore the Edge + 5.7 inch version would happen so later. This is consistent with listings of Zauba carrier appeared a few days earlier.
