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.

      yes! lets add everything to a phone that a consumer needs and wants and never buy anything else from that company to support! amazing! hopefully once that happens and we have the ultimate phone, we become the phone instead!
      LOVE IT! lets bash and have them put everything in the phone like its a modular.

        Why the Mate 8 with Kirin 950 was not included. Yes Mate 8 is a phablet but it would be interesting to have 2 of the lastest high end chipsets head to head

                AnonD-513826, 13 Mar 2016This is funny,Its common knowledge that iOS is trying to introduce more features with every new update, features that have been in android since years ago.

                For example, every feature in ios9.

                                But it is missing bigger than FM player and IR blaster.

                                Guess what NO DLNA!!!
                                So no longer streaming music to DLNA enabled music system or streaming videos pictures to DLNA enabled TVs.
                                Will have to rely on battery consuming Miracast to enjoy streaming videos, pics and music.

                                  Can we expect separate tests for the snapdragon in terms of battery and performance?

                                      Wow, 9h of browsing? NOPE! not buying that! and the performance is not so good :( even with the "water cooling" which is just a normal heat pipe :S
                                      I'll wait for new nexus i guess, or get an iphone :S

                                        SD card, water proofness, night shots, battery improvement, are all welcomed additions! Enough to sway me back to Samsung's grasp, BUT the lack of MHL killed it for me, in work and vacations the TVs don't support wireless video broadcast, cromecast is also useless without wifi, so i really need it on my mobile, maybe the edge or the note will have it...
