Samsung Galaxy S7 Release Rundown: Features We Love

Some other expected features include:

• Always On Display feature that will not significantly affect battery life (for those keeping an eye on the clock, calendar, or an image)
• Internal memory of 32 GB with the ability to expand up to 200 GB using an SD card
• Pixel Sensor offers light and quick focusing for sharp photos
• Super AMOLED capacitive 5.1 inch (5.5 inch for the S7 Edge) multi-touch display
• 2560 x 1440 pixel QHD resolution (sharp picture for those of us who watch cat videos and such)
• 577 pixels-per-inch pixel density (same as Galaxy S6)
• Corning Gorilla Glass (now a seemingly standard material for HTC, LG, and Samsung phones)
• Huge 3000 mAh battery on the S7 (the new S7 Edge has a 3600 mAh battery)
• Quick Charge 3.0 capable of charging up to 80 to 85 percent in 30 minutes wirelessly
• Rear camera delivers clear night photos
• Water-resistant IP68 technology making the new Samsung S7 and S7 Edge water-resistant for up to 30 minutes fully submerged
• Thinner camera frame

s the loss of the removable memory card. Luckily for Dave, "the S7 brought back water/dust resistance along with removable memory and has Android 6.0." having been in repair for years, he has seen many water damaged phones. "I like the idea of having a water resistant phone so I don't have to worry." he explains. Water damage is a concern within the repair community, but so is repairability. It seems the Samsung S7 may have the midframe further inside the device with the display adhered to it. The use of adhesive, rather than screws, makes repairing the device for something besides water damage a more delicate procedure. This does, however, boost the water-resistance of the Samsung Galaxy S7. One feature Tiffany is excited about is the "pin-sharp resolution." Like Justin, she mentioned looking forward to the “Always On Display” feature and the SD card support. It may not be enough to sway loyal users of Apple products, but these are great features for loyal Samsung users or those considering a new phone. We have some loyal Samsung device users here at eTech. Justin and Nick have both been Samsung users since the release of the Galaxy S3 and are excited about different features.

"I’m really looking forward to the new Galaxy S7. I’ve been a Galaxy user since the something I need in my life."—Justin "I have been a loyal Samsung user since the Galaxy series and currently use the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. I am excited to see the updated features on the Samsung Galaxy S7. As a photographer, the feature I look forward to testing is the new camera sensor developed to capture quality low light images. I hope that this will allow me to take better photos at events, concerts, or dinner with friends."—Nick

Speaking of the camera, Jaime had a nostalgic moment remembering his attempts to capture night pictures with his Motorola Razr. "Welcome to the future."
