Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge follow the lines in the design of the S6

From the unmissable appointment with the LG G5, as the first modular smartphone of the Korean manufacturer, we went straight to the arrival of the Galaxy S7. An event that of Samsung in which the phone itself has been the main protagonist and in which at the end of it Mark Zuckerberg has appeared commenting on the possibilities of virtual reality through this phone.

The new Galaxy S7 is presented as thinner, smaller and with a continuous line in the design no major surprises apart from what has been said about the corners. Screen of 5,1 inches for the S6 and 5,5 inches for the S6 edge with the "Always On" feature seen in the LG G5 and that will be another trend for other terminals that will follow the two Korean brands. Resistance in the water is another of the points where they have emphasized in the first minutes of their presentation. We will see the microSD slot again in a Galaxy S for what Samsung has presented as something unheard of when it is the norm in most phones. Another of the biggest details of this phone is its special camera with aperture f / 1.07 that will follow what is seen in the S6.

An S7 that follows the S6 in design

Samsung has focused on certain camera features, flip the microSD slot and water resistance for a Galaxy S7 that follows the same line in design language as the S6. We suppose that we will have to wait for the Galaxy S8 to find other new ways that evolve, since this was one of the serious mistakes of this manufacturer.

Part of those first twenty minutes have been focused on the Galaxy S7 camera With quite remarkable characteristics to even make a comparison in the quality of the lens with that of the iPhone 6s.

Performance has been the next thing that has been discussed with a special mention to the evolution of its Galaxy S series to finish talking about a 64,9% improvement in the graphics to what was the previous Galaxy S6. What they have not specified is whether it is due to the Snapdragon 820 or to their own home. Commenting on the greatness of your S7's graphics, the battery comes next at 3.000 mAh and 3.600 mAh for the S7 and S7 edge respectively.

Un special terminal for gamers as has been emphasized on several occasions and with which an entire season of Game of Thrones can be played with a single charge. It is at that moment of gaming where Samsung accentuates certain features such as recording the game, taking a capture or silencing notifications among other advantages.

Tim Sweeney, founding CEO of Epic games, even stepped out to demonstrate gaming capabilities for the S7. Dynamic shadows, object physics system and many other qualities that this new phone will allow and in which, thanks to a demonstration with a rather special game, its technical abilities have been seen at the event. An agreement between Epic and Samsung that will lead to new experiences in video games as Sweeney has said in front of the present public.

Samsung Pay is another of the biggest bets of the Korean manufacturer for this year and that it will use the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge to make it reach its users with new countries, such as ours, where it will be available.

Apart from Epic it has agreements with important brands of all categories within the world of videogames such as Blizzard, EA Games, Gameloft, Glu, SEGA, LEGO, KING, Twitch or Unity.

Followed later by Connect Auto, its bet for automobiles and that follow Android Auto like Apple's own. Here we enter into agreements with companies of all colors and types to continue integrating their services in conjunction with the Korean company's own offer.

In the guts

Es in the hardware where we find the great value of this new Samsung phone that follows the guidelines previously followed by the S6. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chip makes its grand appearance to deliver its full potential and energy efficiency. Emphasize the increase in graphic capacity, and that, as I said, it will mark a great moment for gaming.

Both phones come with 4 GB of RAM, 32/64 GB of internal storage and a new 12 MP «Dual Pixel» rear camera with f / 1.7 aperture. The screens go from the 5,1 inches of the S7 to the 5,5 inches of the edge. With this, the difference in size is marked for the two terminals and that at the edge it reaches what is typical of the Note. Quad HD resolution and Super AMOLED panels that do not miss the appointment.

The cameras take another big part of this phone with a considerable improvement in performance in low light conditions. As an optional extra, Samsung will sell DSLR-like rear camera lenses

To finish off your batteries, 3.000 mAh and 3.600 mAh for the S7 and S7 edge respectively, that we hope they fulfill their mission and improve what is seen in the S6. Both offer dual-mode wireless charging support.
