Photos from samsung s7. Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are stylish smartphones with a great camera. Memory type, RAM, memory cards

The smartphone is not only one of the most powerful on Android, but also takes beautiful photos and videos. Well, we share with you the colorful shots made with it on the shores of the White Sea and tell you about the features of the camera.

The function works great quick launch cameras ( double tap on the "Home" button when the tap is off): unlike many similar solutions, this happens really quickly here. As, in fact, focusing with a shutter for a couple. The processing power allows.

Even with a very poor lighting level, the result will be quite digestible, and sometimes just gorgeous. From the strange: it is not clear where the purple halo came from in the photographs of an open flame (in a simple way - a fire). Although, for fairness, it must be said again that in such darkness, few smartphones take a picture at all.

Also, traditionally, one cannot but urge on the oversaturation of the picture, which is at the expense of the naturalness of colors. And when paired with a Super AMOLED display, some of the frames look really acidic. But to say that this is ugly is to deceive. The only thing that can be shown here is that it is not entirely fair. Well, even in the S7 Edge, the rounded edges of the display sometimes get in the way of aligning the frame and horizon correctly.

Many of the creative modes correspond to the flagship status, and for the most part they also work perfectly, and most importantly, they are not as whimsical to shooting conditions as they usually are. Only the panorama let us down a bit: it didn’t work out to keep the camera so smooth and slow that we could do without ugly gluing in the frame. Although, it seems, he tried.

Unfortunately, our admin panel does not like panoramas 18112 x 2112 and weighing 55 MB, so you can

The Korean company has done a good job of making new smartphone Galaxy S7 Edge has become even more perfect and attractive in relation to previous model -. If we look at it as a whole, the novelty has retained all the "chips" of the previous device (including the curved shape of the display, which now looks no less original).

So, manufacturers continued to develop the smartphone and took into account what users would like. The model again received support for memory cards, and its battery capacity increased significantly. You can easily save videos and photos to the card. The user will love the quality of the photos that the Galaxy S7 takes with the main camera (it focuses instantly, including when shooting videos of moving objects). The smartphone takes good pictures even in low light.

Pleasant surprises for the user

The consumer was waiting for the battery life of the device to be maximized. During the development of Samsung in the Galaxy S7, this was achieved: the battery was made larger - 3000 mAh. The power consumption of the processor and software has also changed, and as a result, it became almost impossible to empty the non-removable battery during the day. The only exception is one option for using a smartphone - to play modern 3D titles (then the charge will last only 5 hours). But if, for example, watch a two-hour movie, then only about 14% of the charge will be spent.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy S7 charges pretty quickly, especially when using the stock charger, which fills an empty battery in just an hour and a half. If you need to recharge your smartphone by 50%, then half an hour will be enough for this. From USB port MacBook Pro our new product will be powered for less than two hours.

The smartphone screen is always on, and even when it is locked, notifications and the current time are visible on the display.

Obviously, the Galaxy S7 is one of the fastest-performing smartphones of 2016.

Elegant design

It should be said that the camera of the new device now does not "rise" above the rear plane of the case (it has acquired smoother contours). In general, the model has become more rounded, and this impression is enhanced by the convexity of the "3D glass" ( Gorilla Glass 4). A smartphone like this with a streamlined screen is just a pleasure to hold in your hands. The device has become thicker by a millimeter, slightly decreasing its dimensions in length and width. Its weight has increased by 14g, and now it looks more solid and dense. Weighing 157 g, the dimensions of the Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE are as follows: 72.6 x 150.9 x 7.7 mm.

The diagonal of the display is measured by 5.5 inches, and its a high resolution provides subtle color transitions. Users should love the wide viewing angles and the huge brightness resource. It is advisable to pay attention to the factor that readability on the screen is preserved under direct sunlight (for this there is an automatic adjustment that works very accurately). In addition, all images and videos appear three-dimensional. For the screen, you can select well-known modes - "Main", "Adaptive display", "Movie AMOLED" and "Photo AMOLED".

The aluminum edging frame is preserved (its width is small and equal to about 2.5–3 mm), the volume keys are located on the left side, and the power button is on the right. The familiar Samsung logo can be seen under the speaker. At the bottom there are touch keys - "back" and "menu", and in the center there is a home key without the usual chrome edging, and a fingerprint scanner is built into it. It's nice that the layout of the buttons suits both left-handers and right-handers. Describing the external design of the model, we will name three color options - austere black, golden (platinum) and silver (titanium).

Useful functions

It is also worth mentioning about samsung protection Galaxy S7 EDGE water and dust resistant (IP68 standard). Note that there are no plugs on the ports here, since the moisture protection is provided by the design features and the material itself from which the model is made. Consumers will appreciate such a gift, because the new smartphone can be used in the rain (for example, for the sake of experiment, even place the device in water, after which it is advisable to turn it off after all to dry the ports).

The model is equipped with the following sensors: gyroscope, accelerometer, heart rate, light, proximity sensors, as well as geomagnetic, Hall sensor, barometer, fingerprint scanner. RAM - 4 GB, permanent memory - 32 GB. Smartphone works with operating system Android 6.0.1 and equipped with Bluetooth 4.2 LE, GPS with A-GPS, NFC, ANT +, Glonass.

I must say about the built-in galaxy dynamics S7: It delivers sound as good as small tablets like the iPad Mini or smartphones with front-facing stereo speakers. The device comes with an adapter designed for fast charging (it supports a current of 2 A at 5 V, and at 9 V - 1.67 A). In addition, the kit includes a micro-USB cable, as well as a USB adapter (with its help you can move data from device to device - Smart Switch function). So if you need quality smartphone, then the Galaxy S7 is an excellent candidate for such an acquisition.

Official galaxy price S7 Edge in Russia - 59,990 rubles.

The new Samsung Galaxy S7 (Samsung Galaxy S7) recently went on sale. Many were waiting for the new smartphone from Samsung with great impatience and were ready to buy it in the first days of the start of sales. For someone new samsung Galaxy S7 (Samsung Galaxy S7) - best phone which they have ever bought, for others, a huge disappointment in the Korean brand.

This article contains the first (summarized by us) reviews of the Galaxy S7 (Galaxy S7), which will help you form a holistic view of the phone.

The appearance of the new smartphone Samsung Galaxy S7 (with photo)

When the first ones hit the net, even the most unrealistic ones, photo Samsung Galaxy S7 they were discussed very passionately. Information on appearance and technical characteristics new Galaxy S7 changed at a cosmic speed. After all, some insider samsung photos Galaxy S7 paid off and the phone received everyone's beloved last year's design with improvements and improvements.

Outwardly, it is very difficult to distinguish the new Samsung Galaxy S7 from the S6, which will undoubtedly please the owners of the 2015 model. The only visual difference can only be the rear camera: in the Samsung Galaxy S7, it practically does not stick out from the body, which cannot be said about the Galaxy S6 camera. Although this "problem" is solved by the case, and then few people will be able to determine which model you are using.

Despite the fact that there are at least visual differences, the engineers of the Korean company claim that the body has received a number of useful improvements, including: a harder aluminum alloy, the arrangement of the smartphone components has been completely revised, anyhow to prevent damage to the "insides" of the smartphone, water resistance has been added and about ten more similar updates….

But to be honest, the most useful of all this is IP-68 water resistance and a slot for two Sim cards or Sim card and MicroSD. This is exactly what the previous Galaxy lacked. Yes, it is true that the new Samsung Galaxy S7 smartphone heats up less than its predecessor, but this difference, although noticeable, is not significant. In all other respects, I have the courage to say that you will not feel much difference between the phones.

Also, reviews of the first buyers say that the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, the rear glass breaks even when it falls from head level. And although traditionally the S7 edge is a more fragile creation, the Galaxy S7 is also not best example in matters of meeting with solid objects. In addition, in wet hands, the phone turns into a real bar of soap, which very easily slips onto a tile or any other surface, without deliberately testing your ability for clairvoyance and a quick analysis of the amount spent on repairs.

Dimensions: size, weight and feel of using the Samsung Galaxy S7

Let's start with a passport. According to the declared characteristics, the size of the new Samsung Galaxy (Samsung Galaxy) S7 has the following parameters: 142.4 by 69.6 by 7.9 mm.

The dimensions of the new Galaxy S7, in comparison with last year's model, have slightly increased in size. This small increase in samsung size Galaxy S7 (Samsung Galaxy) S7 is connected directly with an increased battery. Weight new samsung smartphone Galaxy (Samsung Galaxy) S7 also grew (as much as 14 grams) and is 152 grams (the weight of last year's Galaxy - 138 grams).

The reviews of the owners of the new and last year's smartphone about the slightly changed characteristics are very similar: people agree that the phones feel almost the same in their hand, while the increased battery with the new software is perceived very positively.

Although in fairness, it should be noted that the new software does not help much with the active use of the phone. That the new Galaxy, that last year's Galaxy - live a day and a half.

Processor and performance

Earlier we had an article about the older model, which made me sincerely delighted. In that review, much attention is paid precisely to technical characteristics and innovations in this phone, because it is the number of innovations, the best technical characteristics Samsung and are trying to lure potential buyers over to their side. Samsung is kind of telling us: “We are not an iPhone, look how much we have! ". But still, the iPhone remains the iPhone, and the Samsung is what it is.

Like the older model, the Samsung Galaxy S7 processor is either Exynos 8890 or Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 (for some markets, or by special order of the seller). Why does the Samsung Galaxy S7 use two processors, since Exynos is considered to be a less productive and high-quality processor?

The point is the failure of the Snapdragon 810, which was heating up insanely and leading to premature wear on the phone. Therefore, in 2015, Samsung refused to use these processors and began to actively develop their Exynos.

As a result, today's "native" Samsung Galaxy S7 processor is almost as good as the eminent Snapdragon, and besides, the battery life is 10 percent longer than with the 820. In fact, few people will be able to check the difference, since almost all Samsung suppliers in our country buy Samsung Galaxy S7 with an Exynos processor.

In Antutu test with a processor Exynos Samsung Galaxy S7 showed excellent results with 101,285 virtual parrots. Above Galaxy S7 in Antutu Benchmark only its "older" brother - Samsung Galaxy S7 edge and Xiaomi MI5, which is currently considered the most powerful smartphone (136875 parrot). Congratulations on the Honorable Bronze of Antutu Benchmark, Samsung Galaxy S7!

Samsung Galaxy S7 camera

There are two cameras in the Samsung Galaxy S7: 5 and 12 megapixels. Front-camera remained unchanged, with slightly corrected light sensitivity. The main galaxy camera S7, has acquired a new module from Sony, with increased sensitivity of f / 1.7 with improved sensor and focusing.

Actually, new phone from Samsung just got better. This is confirmed by the reviews of the owners of the Samsung Galaxy S7. The camera began to focus better and faster, blur less often and shoot more accurately in the dark. Well, then, bravo Samsung!

conclusions

Of course, most of the owners of Samsung Galaxy S7 leave a positive review of this phone. They love the design, they love the way the smartphone works, they love the technical innovation. But there are two significant issues that concern future buyers.

First: expediency, because there is the Galaxy S6, which received the same update and, if you do not look at the benchmarks, is not much inferior to the new smartphone, but is cheaper.

Second: ticket prices. Samsung Galaxy S7 asks for itself from 800 dollars, which is tantamount to buying an iPhone, and what to choose here is more a matter of taste.

In any case, if your choice fell on the new Samsung Galaxy S7, spin it for 30 minutes in your hands, this phone really has a lot of interesting and worthy things. I am sure you will find what you like in it, as I actually did.

Especially for photo and video shooting. It so happened historically that among photographers and amateur photographers (and, indeed, most of the world's population), "apple" smartphones have become very popular. But if earlier Apple created truly unique and functional products, then after a close acquaintance with the Galaxy S7, I seriously thought about changing my phone.

I must say right away: I myself am also a fan of the "apple", I started with ancient desktops, then there was a MacBook Pro, then Air. The family has an iPad and iPad mini, and the iPhones themselves are five for three. Therefore, if not for a close acquaintance with the last generation Galaxy, the question of choosing the next smartphone for me would not stand. True, it is not worth it now: I confess, but I already bought myself an S7. However, enough background, I'll tell you about everything in order.


Backlight, completely auto mode filming

I remember how five or six years ago, when the first system cameras appeared, they were called “DSLR killers”. When I tested the new Samsung smartphone and its camera, the evidence of the final death of compacts became undeniable for me. Moreover, as far as I know, in the amateur segment, some manufacturers of interchangeable-lens cameras are already feeling the pressure of smartphones. And this is not surprising at all.

The first thing I would like to say is the increase in the pixel compared to its predecessor, and not the number of megapixels, as it happens most often! The second is the F1.7 aperture (on the iPhone F2.2), and the third is the use of Dual Pixel technology, which, thanks to the use of a dual photodiode, makes focusing as fast and accurate as possible. In addition, in harsh shooting conditions, you can use the Pro-mode by manually changing the shutter speed, aperture, ISO and white balance settings.



So, here are the main advantages because of which I bought myself galaxy smartphone S7 (without any discounts and bonuses, at the regular market price):

  1. As I said, the main plus for me is the camera. It's really really cool (just don't compare the quality with full-length DSLRs)!
  2. The next most important item is dust and moisture resistance (up to 30 minutes of work at a depth of 1.5 meters).
  3. The ability to use two SIM cards or one SIM card and mini SD (up to 200 GB).
  4. A special case with a mount for Samsung branded lenses (wide-angle and x2-zoom) will soon appear. And with a high probability of development of this line.
  5. Using a smartphone as a platform for Gear VR.

In addition, a powerful processor, fully customizable desktop tabs, a slightly larger and much better display than the iPhone, the presence of a built-in image stabilizer, a more capacious battery and, according to the manufacturer, more durable glass.

Well, now about the cons: the only thing that I found was a soiled case, on which fingerprints remain. You can fix it by buying a cover.


Bokeh appears strangely in the photo. Previously it was thought that this is a sign of fast lenses.

Further, I invite everyone to draw independent conclusions based on the photos received. And in order to finally dispel the doubts of photographers, I will say that pictures can be easily printed in 45 × 30 cm format, and after certain manipulations in the editor, prints 60 × 40 cm look pretty decent.60 × 40 cm from a smartphone!

Made especially for you samsung review Galaxy S7 Edge. We can say with confidence - this gadget deserves your attention.

The Galaxy S6 has become for samsung triumph of 2015. It came out after two years of mediocre S-series flagships, offering two smartphones at once that could challenge models Apple iPhone... For 2016 Samsung has chosen the evolutionary development of these devices with galaxy models S7 and the larger curved Galaxy S7 Edge. Both are similar to last year's options, but inside there are differences that attract the most attention.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge in-depth review

Main technical characteristics:

  • Screen: 5.5 inches, 2560 x 1440 resolution, 534 ppi
  • Cameras: front 5 Mp, rear 12 Mp
  • CPU: Exynos 8890 Octa and rAM 4 GB
  • Storage: 32 GB and microSD cards up to 200 GB
  • Operating system: Android 6.0 Marshmallow with TouchWiz UI
  • Dimensions: 150.9 x 72.6 x 7.7 mm, weight 157 g
  • Color options: black, gold
  • Price: 49,990 rubles (32 GB).

Design

Last year's S6 Edge featured a curved screen, and its successor does the same. These kinks are more of a quirk of developers than a practical and useful function... Despite this, such a screen looks great. Glass rear panel It also curves slightly to the shape of the aluminum body, making the device more comfortable to hold compared to the flat S6 Edge.

By extending the screen to the very edges of the device, Samsung has created a model that's more compact than the iPhone 6S Plus. Both are 5.5-inches, but the iPhone is 7.3mm longer, 5.3mm wider, and 25g heavier. This is a noticeable difference and the iPhone seems bulky when compared; while it's 0.4mm thinner, the S7's curved edges make up for that.

One of the disadvantages of the S7's compact design is the close proximity touch buttons to the user's hand. Often times, the thumb brushes the multitasking button when the hand reaches across the screen. Otherwise, the ergonomics of the Galaxy S7 Edge are at a good level, the volume and power buttons located on the side are always within reach, the fingerprint scanner is home button reacts to pressing at different angles.

The device is sold in black and gold cases, the latter being too shiny and the reflections of the case distract from the screen. This little criticism aside, from a design standpoint, the S7 Edge is a success, making the iPhone feel dated. Developers will have to work hard to make the iPhone 7 look better.

Screen

Unchanged from the Galaxy S6 Edge, the 5.5-inch screen is great again. AMOLED technology for bright and vivid colors; the black is unusually deep, the screen is bright enough to read in sunlight. The 2560 x 1440 resolution is double the resolution of the iPhone 6S Plus, but is invisible in everyday use. But the extra pixels will come in handy when connecting a virtual reality device Samsung Gear VR.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge features, performance and software

This is where the Galaxy S7 Edge starts to look different from its predecessor, and the two improvements make a big difference. It is a waterproof case and a microSD card slot. The smartphone can be immersed in water to a depth of 1.5 m for half an hour; at the same time, there are no plugs for connectors and other external signs of moisture resistance. Memory cards will expand the amount of internal memory up to 32 GB, adding up to 200 GB. This feature has never been in the iPhone, and against this background, the amount of internal memory of 16 GB looks frivolous.

Another improvement is the increase in the battery capacity to 3600 mAh, which is 1000 mAh more than last year's version, fast charging via USB and wireless are supported. Included in delivery charger in 10 minutes charges the smartphone for 5 hours. Autonomous work lasts from a day to one and a half.

The Always-On screen function when the device is locked constantly displays information such as time, date, battery level and unread notifications. It consumes approximately 0.8% charge per hour. Unfortunately, only Samsung's built-in apps are supported, so you won't see WhatsApp messages here.

Fast recharging, large capacity, water resistant and memory cards will be useful for you every day. This is much more needed than goofy functions. samsung flagships a few years ago, like tracking users' eye movements.

8-core processor and 4GB memory

Samsung is often criticized for modifying Android with its TouchWiz shell. It also exists in S7 Edge on top of Android 6.0 Marshmallow, but the changes are minimal this time. Most samsung apps can be disabled or ignored (but not deleted). Some app icons look a little childish, but otherwise TouchWiz and Android 6 work great and are a great alternative to Apple iOS.

Distinguishes Samsung from other manufacturers on Android Upday is a news aggregator on the left side of the home screen. It can be configured to display news of interest to you, and if desired, it can be easily turned off.

An 8-core Exynos processor and 4GB of memory enable applications on the S7 Edge to run extremely fast. The device never slows down, does not stumble and does not require a reboot.

Side screen

The edges of the screen not only look interesting, but also have a couple of practical uses. You can put your smartphone screen up and see who is calling on the side, since calls from different callers can be displayed in different colors. Swipe by side screen displays various panels with shortcuts to contacts and favorite applications, compass, ruler, weather forecast and news headlines.

Camera

The 12MP resolution, optical image stabilization and f / 1.7 aperture make the rear camera one of the best in smartphones. Low light shots are especially good, even compared to the iPhone 6: high level of detail, good color balance and no blur.

The camera shoots quite well with automatic settingswhile the autofocus speed is impressive. There is also a manual shooting mode for those who understand this, Samsung also has a function that resembles Apple Live Photos, which records a video of 3 seconds before taking a photo, and even has a mode for shooting food.

The 5MP front camera isn't quite as impressive, but it does its job. It handles capturing photos that go to Instagram, there are a number of controls that will show your face and eyes in the best light.

Conclusion

Samsung has released so far best smartphone this year. The Galaxy S7 Edge improves on the S6 across the board. Now we will wait for the appearance hTC smartphones 10, iPhone 7 and LG G5, which will not easily beat Samsung's device.

The hardware looks and feels on high level, the screen is excellent, Samsung has improved the android system, the camera is excellent too. Add to this a curved screen, water-resistant casing, memory cards and fast charging, and we see an almost perfect smartphone.

Ratings:

  • Screen: 9/10 - crisp and bright, but too big for some
  • Camera: 9/10 - the rear camera is almost perfect, although the front camera is not that good
  • Software: 8/10 - Samsung's best approach, TouchWiz is improved but not clean android version in its simplicity
  • Design: 9/10 - Looks overwhelming, but can be frustrating to hold in cold hands. If dropped, the front and rear glass is more likely to break. The front part is highly distracting with highlights.
  • Build quality: 9/10 - minus point for fragile glass.
  • Total: 10/10 is an almost perfect smartphone.

Pros:

  • Great design
  • Rear camera
  • Moisture resistance.

Minuses:

  • Front camera
  • Screen size may be too large for some
  • High price

We hope that the review of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge made for you helped you get to know this gadget better and you could definitely determine for yourself whether you will purchase it or not.
