Samsung aims to 'redefine' smartphone capabilities with Galaxy S7

Noah Barnes | February 25, 2016, 18:20

Samsung Galaxy S7, S7 edge, the company's new flagship devices for 2016 are now out.

Despite offering the same resolution as the Galaxy Note 5, the smaller displays on the 5.1-inch Galaxy S7 and 5.5-inch Galaxy S7 edge mean they have greater pixel densities for sharper images and text.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 has a 3,000mAh battery while the Galaxy S7 edge has a 3,600mAh battery. Many websites have pointed out that S7 is nothing but a higher form of the Samsung Galaxy S6. We've seen some attractive smartphones (despite being similar to their predecessors, Samsung's new Galaxy phones fall into the category) and some daring ones (we're looking at you, modular LG G5), but this year's show was more about the wearable gadgets that came with the phones than the phones themselves.

Samsung's had a year to ideal the Edge version's curved OLED screen, and has spent 12 months making glass panels for the S6, so it shouldn't have any trouble meeting demand.

DJ Koh, head of Samsung Mobiles Communication said that "The Galaxy S7 is slated to go on sale in 60 countries on March 11".

Google's latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow flavour added the adoptable storage feature that allows users to format a microSD card as internal storage, giving the option to merge both and use as a single unit. It appears that the wait may not be that long as Android Central has reported that pre-orders for the LG G5 will already become available via Best Buy on March 18th. Inside, it packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset that gets coupled with a RAM of 4G.

Arstechnica reached out to Samsung to know possible reasons to give the feature a miss and they received a reply, "Samsung decided not to use the Android Marshmallow "adoptable storage" model". You can also look through the camera on your phone, and pan around in real time.

Water resistance: The phones can be submereged in five feet of water for up to 30 minutes, according to Samsung.

Samsung is building a revolutionary ROLL-UP smartphone

GETTY • US PATENT OFFICE Example of a flexible display, LEFT, and the illustrations filed with the Samsung patent, RIGHT Samsung has been awarded a US patent for a brand-new foldable, rollable display to use across its smartphone and tablet ranges. The South Korean technology firm recently used its flexible display technology in the award-winning Galaxy S6 Edge, which has a dual curved QHD screen. However this latest patent, which was published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, shows the company has bolder ambitions for its curved displays.

HTC 10 vs Samsung Galaxy S7 / Edge vs LG G5

In the Android world, we follow a familiar release cycle when it comes to flagship smartphones, mostly centered around the two major trade shows, MWC and IFA. This year, Samsung and LG were first out of the gate with their respective flagship offerings being showcased back during MWC 2016, and while HTC was a little late to the party, we now have all three high-end offerings to choose from. Each device brings something unique to the table to help distinguish themselves from the other, and we've covered them extensively here at Android Authority with comprehensive reviews, in-depth comparisons, and feature focus articles. Which is the best of the lot? That is what we aim to find out, as we take a closer look at the HTC 10 vs Samsung Galaxy S7 / Galaxy S7 Edge vs LG G5 in this unique triple-threat versus!

The Samsung Galaxy Note7 (S820) Review

This year has been difficult for smartphones, which is a bit of a paradox when you consider just how much better things have gotten compared to last year. With Snapdragon 820, 650, 652, and 625 we've finally moved past the shadow of the Snapdragon 810, 808, and 617/615. While there were Android devices that shipped with the Exynos 7420, they were often paired with a modem that was not necessarily the most power efficient. Despite all of this, there seems to be a general disappointment with smartphones. People are increasingly finding it hard to justify phones like the HTC 10 or Galaxy S7 with competition from OnePlus, Xiaomi, and even Apple with their iPhone SE. In this context the Galaxy Note7 brings much of the flavor of the Galaxy S7 edge, but blends it with the S-Pen of the Note line and a few new features like the iris scanner. If you were paying attention to the industry with the launch of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note5, it's very much more of the same rather than the m
