Comparisons to Galaxy S6 are inevitable. If only because many of its owners ask themselves some time the question: is it worth it to pay extra for a newer model? Especially since it costs considerable 3200 zł . Samsung has not decided yet on the revolution, but evolution – so that in the direction expected by customers.
At the beginning of something eternal malcontents, or cons. Appearance is of course a matter of individual assessment, but in my opinion S7 is nicer than the S6. The home button or frame around the camera lens version of Black Onyx, which we received for testing are black, so the phone feels hewn from one piece. The sides of the back are gently rounded to better lay in his hand. Glass front and on his back, metal frame – it looks great. But if he were to be defect, then go ahead. Because of its design and materials, no phone kept slipping my hand as often as S7. And so bad when landed on the mattress. Worse, when the height of the metro familiar with the kitchen tiles. Fortunately, nothing happened to him, but a special case certainly makes the phone more comfortable in his hand. Except that then it will show up quite as well …
Another thing is the screen . Of course, it can not be worse than this in S6, because it is the same – 5.1-inch Super AMOLED 576 ppi. Contrast, color, viewing angles – all that is here at the highest level. Great reacts to touch. But here’s another minus – reacts so much that I have not happened to me so many applications open, which does not want to open, or when browsing the Internet to activate the random links. It was enough to brush your fingertip. This happened very often, and in the long run, began to seriously irritate me.
A new feature in this model is the Always on Display . Thanks to it even after extinguishing the phone, the display shows the time, date and information about unread emails or missed phone. Theoretically function very useful, but in practice quite annoying. Luckily, this improvement can be turned off. I did it after two days, while others, who tested the phone, not even withstood day. Why? The reasons are always the same – first information appears in different places of the display, which makes it still seems to us that just came a new message – the phone unnecessarily engages our attention, not allowing to concentrate on other activities. Secondly – although the manufacturer ensures that this function did not significantly affect battery life, however, when you turn off the phone working longer.
What was left of the fountains, which drew attention Samsung in the promotion of the latest model? Memory card slot, which the prolonged use can certainly be useful for photos and music, and waterproof , which however did not use, but of course that is better, than he was not there.
The advantages of the camera wrote HERE , so I’ll just mention that it is perfect, especially when it comes to catching the focus – I failed to do a fuzzy photograph, although the models were driving on scooter and playing ball kids. Personally, I prefer aspect ratio of 16: 9, which was set automatically in the Galaxy S6, than the 4: 3 S7. It is, however, a matter of taste.
Under the “hood” of the latest Samsung has changed little. The manufacturer has applied slightly faster processor and layout, and which was already ultra fast, so the difference for the ordinary user is almost imperceptible (ideal smartphone for gamers). Increased also RAM – from 3 to 4 GB and capacity of Battery , which is equal to 3000 mAh and provides S7 better mileage away from the charger – disabling Always on Display, you can tempted to try tightening to 2 days operation. But of course the last hours will be nervous. Fingerprint Reader operates similarly to the older model, which is very good, call quality, music or GPS stand on the highest level. The system is Android 6.0 .
The manufacturer decided to castrate the phone with the infrared port and do not change it now in the TV remote control. Traditionally, there is no radio, so traditionally me minus. Plus it for use old USB version 2.0, not the new (I know better and faster) 3.0. For what my latest technologies, if I have to carry a wire in order to eg. To connect your phone to a computer at work, or found in the apartment free contact for another charger?
So how do you evaluate S7? There is no secret that I expected perfection, as announced modifications to the model S6 went in the right direction. And although the new flagship of Samsung is without a doubt a great phone, it’s ideal, for me, it is not. It has a few drawbacks, the biggest of which is the price. They are all, however, childhood diseases, and certainly will be eliminated. The recipe is time – the manufacturer will release patches and updates, and retail prices will fall. Today S6, which is still an excellent smartphone, costs about 2000 zł. At the time of launch it was necessary for him to give 3 thousand. zł no buck. I personally do not currently decydowałbym to change the S6 to S7. It is better to be patient and wait a bit. Galaxy S7 quickly gets old.
