Samsung Galaxy S7 review: A refinement act

11 March, 2016
Close your eyes and picture the Samsung Galaxy S6, but the way you wanted it to be, not the way it came out. Now open them and look at the Galaxy S7. Better? Let’s see.

I have always been a loyal to Samsung brand but now i guess i will have to divert!
I have bought an Galaxy S7 the moment it was launched in UAE and apparently to service level has downgraded now they consider a scratch or dent a cause to cancel the warranty !!
that is nonsense just to disqualify the cost of repairing it on there expense and the MAIN reason was that water has interpreted the main screen, how is it water resistance then?!!
I'm very disappointed in this brand, I used to brag how amazing the phone, brand and service is but now not anymore!
Is this how you satisfy your loyal customer!! is this how the customer rights are always guaranteed !!!

    i'de bought it for 450 €... and it too much !!
    I'm very disapointed about this phone. Every website or other youtube guys are wrong. Samsung sell it like a performer, and without offers, it's 799 !
    Touchwizz he's simply horrible. Slow and "heavy". Nova launcher came too repare that thing but, for the price, we just need a good OS.
    fingerprint scanner... the worst i've tried. a lot of fails everyday when you tried to unlock. The technology they used for it is very old. First generation scanner.
    And battery life is just enough good for a simple usage ( with all settings of background applications ok and a black wallpaper on the screens).
    Ok, it's a goodlooking smaprtphone, nice and beauty screen. But in the realife, not the benchmark's life, for the price, he's a very average level smartphone. i hate use it everyday, really, and have problemes that i didn't have in 3 years with my HTC M7.
    Don't really buy it, look elsewhere. You'll find much better.
    Ps: for me, he didn't scratch at all. It's pretty good with that on the contrary.

                                Well, FM radio make its way back to S7 at some major carriers. Hoping spreading across for international device.

                                  Is anyone dissatisfied as I am with the glass used for the back? It is very easy to scratch, and a foil is recommended from day one.

                                    If Samsung is correct that Always On is no worse on the battery than frequently opening your phone to check the time...then your mobile reviews for all phones is incomplete not to include those drain times in your battery estimates.

                                      AnonD-3678, 31 Mar 2016Touchwiz is miles and miles behind Android AOSP. This is my... moreNot really. Touchwiz is very advanced and has many advantages over aosp.
                                      In fact modified touchwiz with a custom kernel has become the most functional experience i have ever had.
                                      Even on my note 2 there was barely any speed difference between touchwiz 4.4 modified verses a good cm12 rom.
