Tech Test: Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, innovation through … – Les Echos

A smartphone out every year, we are entitled to wonder if Samsung really innovative? What would be the difference between the Galaxy S7 Edge released a few weeks ago and the previous version Galaxy S6 Edge. Both say immediately, not much.

The problem is that Samsung had already managed to prove that he knew make high-end smartphones, after all, is the world’s No. 1 smartphone … the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge Galaxy had an advanced design, elegant curves, which classified them in the category of the best smartphones of its … The Galaxy S7 generation Edge made it better?

It’s very simple, in our Open plan, putting the Galaxy S7 Edge next to the S6 Edge of a colleague, we did not see any difference if only one was larger than the other. In fact, it will just notice an improvement in the handling of the machine. The Edge S7 is now bent on the back as his screen. This allows easier to catch the object when it is flat on a table for example.



The highlight: the

On the design side, therefore, nothing to report. The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is beautiful, just like its predecessor. It takes blow rather dwell on this phone. Screen 5.5-inch curved on both sides is magnificent. The contrasts are great. If the appellation used by Samsung AMOLED screens for its does not evoke much, it makes sense from the lighting of the phone.

There has also been a change in the direction of the camera. This first is more discreet. However, the resolution of the latter declined. If the sensor S6 Samsung proposed a resolution of 16-megapixels, the S7 offers his side as 12 megapixels. How is this possible ? Why the Korean manufacturer decided to do less when the medium tech has accustomed us ever? Thereupon, Samsung is clear: there are fewer pixels but they are bigger thereby leaving almost 56% more light hitting the lens.



Storage, strength and autonomy

It looks like an advertisement for electric cars, but these three adjectives characterize very well the new Galaxy S7 Edge. Samsung has listened to the criticism from customers as to its previous model S6 again by introducing an SD card 128GB – No, it is not included in the original box .

In fact, we have to think about this little card. The Samsung S7 Edge costs 799 euros and offers only 32 GB, knowing that to rotate perfectly, the smartphone is already using a little less than 10 G.

The battery of the Samsung S7 is wider than previous: 3,600 mAh, which allows a battery life despite the Exynos processor very powerful, we spent nearly two days without recharging. Especially when we are determined to do so, the loading time turned out super-fast: It goes from 0 to 100% in 100 minutes.

Rest small factor “Wow” Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: its resistance to water and dust. It works completely. By soaking – when he was lit – as a biscuit in a jar, the smartphone has emerged intact and then worked as if we had never left the box.



Verdict

The Samsung S7 Edge is a true high-end phone. A success in the resolution, in the feeling of owning a first-class citizen. It’s fast, it’s fluid … Everything would be perfect if it were not its price: 799 euros, a phone so expensive especially for 32G. One may wonder if it is not more interesting to buy then Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge at the same price, but to 64GB.
