The much talked about Samsung Galaxy S7 is finally here and, expectedly, the smartphone is decked out to deliver more than the Galaxy S6. While retaining the same premium design, the latest Samsung flagship brings back some features that went missing on its predecessor, including water-proofing and expandable storage.

Design and Display

Looking at the Samsung Galaxy S7, you are likely to see the Galaxy S6 all over again, with a construction featuring metal and glass.

But the rear of the Samsung Galaxy S7 has received some attention with a more rounded and comfortable feel. Samsung has brought back the water-proofing that went missing on last year’s flagship.

With an IP68 rating, Samsung Galaxy S7 can survive being in water of 1.5-meter depth for up to half an hour.

The same 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display with a Quad HD resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels is retained on the Samsung Galaxy S7.

Even though nothing appears to have changed, this screen is still well in the flagship grade with awesome colour reproduction capability.

The Always On Display will always show a clock (with notifications), calendar, or pattern/image, except when placed in an enclosed place, such as a bag.

Camera

Samsung Galaxy S7 is equipped with a 12-megapixel rear camera, which surprisingly has lower resolution than the 16-megapixel snapper on the Galaxy S6.

But the snapper is not necessarily a downgrade as it is better engineered to serve up breathtaking shots in dimly-lit settings.

Samsung Galaxy S7 offers larger pixels and wider f/1.7 aperture to let in more light. With the help of a dual-pixel system, the camera is supposedly able to focus up to three times quicker. You also get a 5-megapixel snapper on the front for selfies.

Hardware and Software

Under the hood, the Samsung Galaxy S7 carries a newer Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, although Samsung’s in-house Exynos processors will be used for devices in some select markets.

The robust CPU is backed up by a very generous 4 GB of RAM for awesome multitasking and impressive responsiveness. The smartphone will come in 32GB and 64GB models.

And for a change, there will be a microSD card slot for expanding storage by up to 200 GB. The Galaxy S7 runs on the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system having its maker’s TouchWiz skin.

The phone will be accompanied by a larger capacity 3,000mAh battery, compared to the 2,550mAh cell that came with its predecessor.
