Samsung Galaxy S7 will have two variants like its predecessor

23 September, 2015
The Korean tech giant is unsurprisingly hard at work on the the successors of the Samsung Galaxy S6 product family.

Literally do NOT have a problem playing anything on the S6's Mali. All graphically heavy games run at lovely framerates. People seem to forget that a good GPU goes hand in hand with a good CPU and they perform even better with temperature controls. Glad to see someone who doesn't just assume graphics will be better on a SoC with a slightly better GPU. Poor SoC = Poor overall performance. It's like building a gaming PC with a Titan onboard and a low end i3 CPU.

        So you'd take the bad CPU of Snapdragon 820 (on par with one year old CPU) for the good GPU? Why? Do you game more than doing anything else?

        A good GPU is and waste for most people anyway, if anything that's another problem of Qualcomm SoCs, they use most of their silicon for something that has a single function (games and nothing else).

          they may as well give up on bringing current note5 to EU with old chip, as new exynos/S820 are almost here.

              Another 'edge'? See... to me, this is the difference between Apple and Samsung. Force Touch vs edge screen. Both gimmicky, BUT the Force Touch actually ADDS some functionality. the edge screen is a joke. Apple like to implement things that they know will be useful in real life. Samsung implement features that you show off to your friends when you buy the phone and never use them.

                Galaxy S6 Edge fails that should be improved in S7:
                - Network coverage is very very very bad, hindered mostly likely by the glass back;
                - Glass back;
                - Wide angle camera at the front distorts people, because the wide angle is too big;
                - Wide angle camera at the back can also distort close subjects, not as bad as the one in the front though;

                Software fails that could/should be address as soon as possible:
                - Hopefully improve network signal;
                - Very bad battery optimisation;
                - Camera chooses too high iso in low light leaving people looking like dolls, very unflattering, specially in selfies;
                - Camera should allow for an automatic iso but with the ability to cap it at a certain value;
                - Pro camera mode does not work with front camera.
                - Pro camera mode does not allow for all iso options, or allow control over shutter speeds.

Yesterday the Message app froze and I had to close it several times. Things either take more time then before or freeze for a while or just crash. I had more restarts with ios9 than I had with ios8.

                  I know that iDiots will come on and say "you dont have orignal iphone" or something along the line and I just have to say to them "you are blind followers"

                  I see good things in iphone, but I also see problem.

                  As they are adding more and more features to match what android has to offer, they are crashing it more and more. Looks like iphone as such is not designed to handle that amount of openness.

                                So even if they would use the same adreno gpu in the s820 it will most likely perform better than the new Mali in the new exynos. People often forget, that the main reason why the exynos was that good this year is its manufacturing process. Bedside from that it has like the exactly same CPU than the snapdragon 810 and a worse GPU. Next year this advantage is missing and you should bet your money that Qualcomm will produce the better chipset until Samsung introduces its own, maybe even or even better custom CPU.
