Anonymous, 23 Feb 2016Mhl was actually dropped with the S6 so this is a valid question They don't need to mention those features. Those are expected.

        AnonD-189020, 23 Feb 2016Are going to be looking at the phone or you will be using itdon't pay attention to those kind of comments, for me would be an excellent upgrade from a S4 (GT-I9500) for the guy that already have a S6, S6 Edge or S6 Edge+ probably is not a major upgrade (the camera is still better than the one in the S6), I always wait to see if the next version of the phone is good enough (or if I need more "power") I went from the S2 to the S4 (didn't like too much the S3), the S5 was not ideal and my S4 was good, the S6 is nice but the difference still didn't make a point and know the S7 is definitively a great upgrade for me.

        I know that can be frustrating for the guy that always wants or have the last model or flagship, but the design is nice (also was in the S6) for me the trick here is the better camera and the expansion slot, I would love to see it with a removable battery but instead the S7 is waterproof.

        The rest is just people boring that don't know what they are talking about.

            Would love to see some improvements from Samsung as to listening to it's customers.

            We want the qwerty keyboard but we want it with the full display , we want the speakers but we want them dual and we want them facing us.
            We love the camera and the improvements done to it so far.
            We want the waterproofing cose we talk in the rain and want to be sure it won't affect our phones, or simply take it in the kitchen and some coffee or water splatters on it, or sometimes we just drop our phones into the toilet, i heard that happening to some people, not really go dive in pools with our phones.

            Sure thin is sexy , slim phones looking good and all but compromising the battery life and functions is not really a deal we like imposed on us.

              Anonymous, 23 Feb 2016It could. And Sony did good focus not larger pixels. If it ... moreActually I did catch something like f1.4 a year before. wonder if its possible...

                Sunny35, 22 Feb 2016They've still kept the KitKat style capacitive buttons. No... moreI and probably a many great users very much prefer capacitive buttons over on-screen buttons.

                Why waste that space on-screen and also on the front if it's going to be there anyway?

                Another good use would be for front speakers but only very few manufacturers (only HTC and a few others) seem to do that

                    vrvly, 22 Feb 2016It could be done with more pixels though, look at Z5 a lot ... moreIt could. And Sony did good focus not larger pixels. If it was 1.4um 24mp with dual photodiodes or 1.6um 16-20mp that would rock too. Plus the f1.7. That would be a killer mobile camera

                          no innovation why would i pay for a new phone when it looks exactly like the old one with minor upgrades

                            Michał, 22 Feb 2016Did they change camera aspect from 16:9 to 4:3?Yes its now 4.3 not 16.9 so probably you have to select around 8-9mp to get 16.9 still more then enough

                                  Phone spes kind of awesome, they could have changed the design. Its same old S6 design.about camera only much improvements given to low light, could hav improved day light too. Waterproof n expandable storage is back, n thats grt to hear.

                                  One thing to look at is if they hav corrected overheating problem, wich was in S6 models.

                                  If that too corrected then this s7 is kinda grt, but can only be called as 2nd version of S6

                                        vrvly, 22 Feb 2016-12Mp(going again through my shots - all in daylight so low... moreA sensor which gathers more light, means shutter can be open less time. It helps with action shots (less blur). It always helps. Given the nature of a camera sensor is to gather light.
                                        The faster lens will likely equivelate to an f stop of 5 (on a bigger sensor) and is probably one of the fastest lenses available in small formats..

                                        These two functions combined, this is a light capturing monster and is probably the best consumer camera device on the market without going to a dedicated camera.
