Poor battery life is the GS6 edge's Achilles heel, and these larger power packs should address that issue.
And the new GS7s also shows certain information horizontally down the column so you don't need to hold the phone in landscape orientation to see it.Ħ) Galaxy S7, GS7 edge have big ol' batteries Both of the new GS7s have significantly larger batteries than their GS6 counterparts. The larger size lets you view two side-by-side columns of apps or contacts instead of just one. Not surprisingly, the GS7 edge has some new edge screen features.The edge panel now takes up more of the display when opened it is 550 pixels instead of 256 pixels, or more than double the width of the edge panel on past Samsung edge phones. But you should by no means try to take underwater photos with a GS7 - or if you do, don't go crying to Samsung when your phone croaks.ĥ) Galaxy S7 edge's enhanced 'edge screen' The curved displays on Samsung's edge phones are designed to provide quick access to information, apps and contacts. The new phones have an International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) protection rating of IP68, which means they offer "protection from contact with harmful dust" and are "protected from immersion in water with a depth of more than 1 meter,"according to CNET. Samsung is careful to stress that while the GS7s are protected from water, they're not waterproof. While the GS7 phones are not ruggedized like the Active, they are just as water-resistant. It even makes a bulked-up version of the GS6, the GS6 Active, that's basically a GS6 with body armor. And it has two different light levels so, for example, if you place the GS7 on your bedside in the dark, the Always on Display dims accordingly.Ĥ) Galaxy S7 and GS7 edge are water resistant Samsung has sold various water-resistant and ruggedized phones for years.
The customizable Always on Display can also use a motion sensor to wake the GS7 devices and display the date, time and message alerts a calendar or a personalized screen.

(The GS7 devices both run Android v6.0.1 "Marshmallow.") The feature isn't unique - Motorola's latest DROIDs have similar "Attentive Displays". The GS7 phones currently support memory cards up to 200GB, though Samsung says they could be updated to work with higher capacity cards as they're released.ģ) Galaxy S7, GS7 edge and 'Always on Display' The two new GS7 smartphones have a new "Always on Display" feature that does just what it suggests and lets you quickly view a variety of information without ever touching your device to wake it. The company also figured out a way to include the memory card, the memory-card and SIM card slots on the GS7 are one and the same. Samsung reversed course with the GS7 and again included a microSD slot. The camera pixels themselves are also larger in the GS7s (1.4μm) than the GS6 phones (1.12μm), Samsung says, and they take in more light and help capture quality images in dimly lit spaces.Ģ) Galaxy S7, GS7 edge and microSD memory cards The Galaxy S6 was the first Galaxy S smartphone that didn't have a slot for expandable memory, and though this wasn't a deal-breaker for most folks, it was a disappointment for many. The GS7 camera aperture (F1.7), leads to 25 percent less exposure time than the cameras on the GS6s (F1.9), according to Samsung, which should result in crisper, clearer images. Samsung says the GS7 cameras focus "two to three times faster" than the GS6 shooters. That leads to quicker, more effective autofocus. The cameras on the new GS7s are the "first dual pixel sensor 12MP" smartphone cameras ever, according to Samsung, which means every pixel they pack is used to focus. So, you ask, why is a reduction in megapixels a good thing? Simply put, megapixels aren't everything when it comes to digital cameras, and at a certain point, the lens, aperture and shutter speed begin to carry as much if not more weight. The new GS7 and GS7 edge have 12MP digital shooters. 1) Galaxy S7 and GS7 edge digital camera The GS6, GS6 edge and GS6 edge+ all have 16MP cameras.
