Samsung Galaxy S7 Review Buzz: It’s the Bee's Knees.

Reviews of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge came out last time, and they were formidably positive.    Geoffrey Fowler in The Wall Street Journal concluded, "Head of the Smartphone Class."Dan Seifert for The Verge summed up as 'on the edge of perfection'."Inching toward perfection," suggested Darren Orf on Gizmodo.

Samsung last month popularized the S7 line at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, and Wayne Lame, a principal analyst at IHS Technology recalled that there was a lot of talk about how amiable folks were during the introduction. Still, "I've been really affected at the added design advancement Samsung has made with the S7,” he told to Tech News World.

What Reviewers Like About It:

The S7 camera was liked highly by the reviewers. It beats the iPhone 6s plus. In every low light condition is being tested by him, says Fowler enthused. The 12MP camera is lower resolution than its S6 counterpart, but each pixel can capture 95% more light. The Verge’s Seifert wrote Samsung’s camera app is one of the best available for Android. He liked the camera’s launch speed, and said that the camera produced brighter, sharper images than the iPhone 6s Plus and was one of the faster to autofocus, especially in the poor lighting.

Fowler also wrote that the S7 screen is a looker, packing in more than three times as many pixels as the iPhone 6s. And its flaming fast processor is well suited for the new world of the virtual reality. The S7’s SD card slot also won kudos, as did the return of the water opposing capability, which was available on the Galaxy S5 but was removed from the S6. Battery life of it is always a problem for Samsung smart phones which has improved appreciably, and it is a huge plus.

Reviewers also liked the S7’s design, look and also felt it. Ramon Llamas, a research manager at IDC remarked that the past several versions of the Galaxy S series before left something of a bitter taste in users’ mouths for multiple reasons. What the S7 line does smartly is it comes back to the basic and does all the basics well. He told to the Tech News World that Samsung is hitting the right notes with enhanced battery life, external storage capacity and the quality of the camera also.

What Bugged the Reviewer:

Gizmodo's Orf noted that the freezing clip at which Touch Wiz receives official Android advancements continues to make it difficult to whole heartedly suggest software that wills one, be late to update its device with the latest build of Android and next, not even appliance some of Android’s best features, like adaptable storage. It’s not a deal breaker overall for the S7, but is definitely a check mark in the deception column. The S7 doesn’t allow third party apps to be used, including some of the built in Android apps for always on the notification, he pointed out. Also, it can’t quite match the load speeds of the ios when it comes to the opening of big apps and the detailed documents.

Carrier bloat ware is another issue, for example, the Verizon adds 13 apps. The phone Seifert tested had two emails, two photos and two text messaging apps; 3 music players; 2 voice control systems; and 2 app stores. The apps can be disabled but not totally removed. Orf also said that the edge feature that gives the Galaxy S7 edge its name doesn’t feel necessary.

No. 1 with a bullet?

Samsung is taking another page out of Apple’s playbook IHS Lam sharp out, with the S7 being one of a similar product strategy to the iPhone 6 and 6s emphasis. The S6 was a brand new design philosophy and the S7 a further clarification. However, the iPhone is still much the leader and in the demand, maintained Susan Schreiner, an accountant at C4 Trends.

That said, the S7 appears to have been advanced for Samsung’s mobile Gear VR ecosystem, she told to Tech News World. And they expect that the Gear 360 camera let the users finesse VR content creation and limited editing on the device.
