In a report by Android Authority, Samsung is said to be focused on showcasing just how improved the Galaxy S7 is compared to its predecessor which is why it will be focusing on all its incredible features. It’s particularly useful if you happen to install a ton of games (something the Samsung Galaxy S7 was punting profusely at launch).
With the S7, Samsung is lowering its camera’s resolution-you read that right-to match the iPhone’s 12 megapixels.
The phones still have their different focuses, with Samsung pushing for virtual reality and iPhones introducing a new feature that involves pressing harder on an icon. The 5.1-inch Galaxy edge has 3 GB of RAM while the Galaxy S6 edge+ gets 4 GB of RAM.
With phablets increasingly coming into the market, it is no surprise that Samsung chose to bring out a slightly bigger screen on the S7 Edge.
Naturally, they won’t come for cheap as you will have to pay more than three times the price of the standard model that will hit shelves on March 11.
The Galaxy S6 edge was released in March 2015 and the price reduction will not disappoint people who have purchased the phone when the handset initially hit the shelves.
That said, it’d be nice to have the choice… but both LG and Samsung have decided not to enable support for adoptable storage on their new phones. No microSD support getting you down? Colors are more vivid, though sometimes unnatural.
In practice, Samsung is able to offer an always-on mode in the S7, constantly displaying a clock, notifications and other highlights when the phone is locked. Samsung and LG don’t appear to be a fans of the feature, though.
