Does Samsung S7 worth your cash?

The only problem with this particular feature is that the resulting photo is just 960×720 (the original image retains its high quality) so you should only use it if there’s a different shot that you just absolutely have to have.

As yet there’s no word on when the Mophie Juice packs for the new Samsung Galaxy series will be released, but it’s safe to assume that the cases will be available on, or around the smartphones’ expected shipping date (March 11). My hands-on time has been limited to controlled settings. 16GB will be far too small for many users, anyway. For many, a choice between the two could come down to preference for one system or another – and the apps available for each. Other regions get an octa-core Samsung Exynos 8990 chip. “Second, once Marshmallow starts using a card for adoptable storage, it can not be read by other devices, so it loses this ability to be used for file transfer”. In March there will be 7.7 million produced, and April 4.5 million. The 6 megapixel reduction is equivalent to chopping off the excess. The most interesting design change is the fact that the camera is now flush and not protruding outward like it has been in previous Galaxy S iterations. Apple also turned the screen into a flash for selfies.

But new research from price comparison website Idealo shows that those who wait to pick up Samsung’s newest handset will be rewarded with a big saving. We can look to past updates to get a good idea of which models should see this security patch. The standard S7 brings a 5.1-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED screen with 577 ppi pixel density, while S7 Edge has a larger 5.5-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED panel with 534 ppi pixel density. It is the same SoC that is present under the hood of Galaxy Note 5. The phone itself is taller, but just a tad wider and heavier. It works with a compatible Charm app that pairs with the Galaxy S7/S7 edge over Bluetooth connectivity. For the S7 Edge though, you’ll be better off on the $80/month plan with $19/month handset repayments, it gets you the same included value of unlimited calls and texts and 6GB of data but you get a free subscription to either Spotify, the Sydney Morning Herald or Stan.

At £539, the 16GB iPhone 6S does have the benefit of being marginally cheaper than the £569 32GB Galaxy S7, but, frankly, £30 for a double-sized drive and huge expandability potential is a bargain. There’s no need to keep USB and other ports sealed, as past waterproof phones did.
