Welcome to part seven of our 10 years of Samsung Galaxy S flagship series, in which we here at SamMobile talk about our experiences and memories of each of the nine Galaxy S flagships that have come before the Galaxy S10. Today, we look back at the Galaxy S7. The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, […]
When the Nougat beta program for the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge ended, it was exactly 13 days later that the official Nougat update first rolled out to the S7 and S7 edge. Only beta users were on the receiving end for the initial few days, but Samsung did make good time in getting […]
The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ will be released in just a couple of days, which means that those of you who have been planning to buy this handset will probably be heading to your local retailers and carriers to pick one up. You have all the reasons in the world to upgrade to the […]
The Galaxy S7 edge has been on the market for 9 months now (it was released in stores on March 11th), but it has become the standard with which all other so-called high-end Android flagships must compete. So, it's natural that some Galaxy Note 7 users in particular are having to decide between the Galaxy S7 […]
The number “7” has been said to be a number of completion, a number of perfection, a “lucky” number (hence Samsung's Project Lucky that brought us the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge this past March 11th), but unfortunately, the Korean giant ran into a disaster with the Galaxy Note 7. For users who felt a strong connection […]
I wrote a column some time ago on the Galaxy S7 edge and Galaxy Note 7 being more alike than ever, a column that was designed to challenge Note faithful on how they perceive the Galaxy S series in general. Sure, the Galaxy Note 7 has an S Pen that you won't find in the Galaxy […]
The Galaxy Note 7 unveiling last month brought us a device that, as Samsung says, “was inspired by the Galaxy S7 edge” in reference to its dual-edge display. While Samsung referenced the display and its dual curves in making the statement, some consumers believe that more than just the dual-edge display was “borrowed” from the Galaxy […]
I've spent the last few weeks with the Galaxy S7 Active, loving the battery life and ruggedness, not to mention the world-class cameras and gorgeous Super AMOLED display. While battery life is king in Samsung's Active series, there is a new area in which Samsung's Galaxy S7 Active is setting a new trend: that is, […]
LG has for years let users add a fourth soft button (along with the standard set of three navigation buttons) to bring down the notification shade. Huawei's P9 has that feature too. But you still can't do this one [sic] a myriad of phones, from the HTC 10 to Samsung Galaxy S7. So if you're on those […]
The Galaxy S7 Active has an announcement date set for June 10th, and I've already said in another place that I'd like to see some changes to the upcoming Active handset as opposed to its 2015 counterpart (the Galaxy S6 Active). While that piece dealt with some additional things I'd like to see Samsung implement into the S7 Active, […]
The Galaxy S7 Active is on the way, with tech enthusiasts having seen leaked photos, desert camo and green colors, and specifications of what the device has in store (and an announcement date that, if we take the June 10th on-screen date seriously, isn't too far off). And yet, if you take a look at the usual tech scene, it's easy to believe that […]
These devices are incredibly powerful, but they also require a lot of power. We know battery life is a big deal; that's why we say our phone is ‘about to die.' I mean, that's how grim it feels. With these devices, we've broken new ground: we engineered batteries that were incredibly large in terms of […]
I’ve given my share of criticism about the LG G5 here at SamMobile. Some diehard Samsung fans won’t find this surprising, though others do. So, I decided to finally put aside what some see as an inherent bias toward Samsung and – you guessed it! – pick up the LG G5. This is where you […]
The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge are the finest devices Samsung has ever crafted, and two of the top devices on the market for 2016 (yes, we’re confident of this though it’s quite early in the year), but you’ll still find smartphone reviewers have their share of problems with them. Some criticisms are what […]
And now, your phone can run fast without running hot. The Galaxy S7’s new cooling system is built with a technology first used in rockets and satellites. There’s a tube containing a liquid that vaporizes at high temperatures, and then condenses at lower temperatures…kind of like air conditioning for your phone. I mean, how cool […]
