That wasn’t the case last year with the Galaxy S6, that’s for sure.
So far, in all of the Galaxy S7 devices I’ve spent significant amounts of time with, I haven’t seen the massive slowdowns where the phone needs to be rebooted daily or all apps wiped from memory. Hard to believe, right? How many Samsung phones over the years have turned into jankfests within a couple of months? If you answered “Almost all of them,” you’d be right. Sure, I could complain about it not lasting for two days, but whose phone actually does that? Performance Since I likely won’t hammer on this thing until I’m done working for the day, I don’t see why it won’t last until 9PM or later. There was a time where I switched to the Exynos-powered S7 and thought it’s battery life was substantially better than the Snapdragon 820-powered version, but this unlocked model is powered by the 820 and it gets me through a long day, easily.įor example, I got up at 5AM today, spent a good hour or so catching up on anything that happened over night, took the phone on a 45-minute run, and am now sitting at 55% at 12:30PM with over 2 hours of screen on time. The Galaxy S7 has a 3000mAh battery and it seems to be holding up nicely. When you need to rely on them, can you? With the Galaxy S7, I never have doubts when taking pictures that I’ll end up with a majority that are great. That’s most of the battle with smartphone cameras. It’s just so impressive, but not only because of speed, because of its tendency to capture a good shot every time. When you do press that shutter button, it often finishes so quickly that you may not believe it took one and tap again to take a second, which it does again in the blink of an eye. It focuses sometimes before you have even realized it was ready to, leaving you ready to snap a picture instantly. This camera still launches insanely fast with its double-tap shortcut on the home button. I think it’s fair to say that some are close in terms of picture quality, but the overall experience from opening to focusing to shooting hasn’t been matched by anyone. CameraĪfter looking at flagship after flagship, I still don’t think anyone has really come close to besting Samsung’s cameras in the Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge.
For years we begged phone manufacturers for colorful phones (or at least white options), but something about having an all black phone again is refreshing. It has a decent amount of weight to it without feeling cheap and certainly doesn’t look inexpensive with its copious amounts of glass and metal.Īs of today, I’m using the unlocked US black version of the Galaxy S7 and find it quite striking. On a related note, in a time where others seem to build phones with abnormally large chins or add dual speakers that increase phone height, the Galaxy S7 has great balance without wasted space and is about as efficient in a design as you will see. There isn’t confusion between any of the buttons (looking at you, Moto Z) and even though I don’t typically care for physical home buttons and Samsung’s insistence on re-arranging back and app switcher buttons, I have to admit that I’m used to it all at this point. I can use this phone with one hand in almost all situations, never feeling like it’ll take much of a shimmy to have to reach up to the notification area or to lock it. Its curves, button positions, and overall size are absolutely perfect, I think.
This is one of those phones that feels like it was designed specifically for my hand. Here are some of the reasons I just keep coming back to it after all these months and phones. I just think that Samsung absolutely nailed it with the Galaxy S7. In recent years, I have often found that as new phones come out and I spend increasing amounts of time with one, that I tend to just adopt them until the next phone arrives.
That’s basically me admitting that I’ve used just about every single major 2016 phone enough to spit out thousands of words on each in a review format, yet there is one common action that happens after I’ve finished up – I immediately jump back onto the Galaxy S7 without hesitation.

I’ve also spent dozens of hours using the Moto G4 Plus and Galaxy S7 Active, while tossing in some Nexus 5X time here and there whenever a new Android N preview arrives. After reviewing the Samsung Galaxy S7 back in March, I have since reviewed the LG G5, HTC 10, OnePlus 3, and Moto Z.
