Samsung needs no introduction, it’s one of the two leading smartphone and mobile brands in the world, sitting at the top alongside Apple, and the most successful company in the Android device space. Likewise the Samsung Galaxy S series, now in its seventh generation, should be very familiar to most as the firm’s flagship - the best of the best that it has to offer; cutting edge design, and all the latest high-grade tech.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 is a bit of a curious iteration, however, in the sense that by many accounts it is proving very popular already, selling like the proverbial hotcakes, you might say. That’s curious because, truth be told, it is not enormously different from 2015’s Galaxy S6 in many ways, and that handset didn’t do so well. So what’s so great about this year’s revamp? That’s something we aim to find out in this serialised review, so join us on a multi-stage journey as we live with and explore the features of the latest Samsung Galaxy S over the coming days.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Review: Design
Dimensions: 142.4 x 69.6 x 7.9 mm
Weight: 152g
IP68 Certified Waterproof
Corning Gorilla Glass 4
It’s fair to say that design wise the Galaxy S7 is near identical to 2015’s Galaxy S6, so anyone expecting some major visual overhaul may be in for a disappointment. But, with that said, I don’t think a repeat of the design is a bad thing - for whatever reason the Galaxy S6 didn’t sell so well, but I find it pretty hard to believe the design was in any way a factor in this large-scale shunning. Last year’s Galaxy S6 design was the first time Samsung had implemented a metal and glass premium build on a flagship model, and, just so that there’s no confusion here I won’t mince words - it made every Galaxy handset that came before it look like crap. So I for one am very glad to see it make a return for the Galaxy S7.
