Samsung Galaxy S7 edge


They were expected, the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. On arrival to the editor, here they passed through the mill of our lab tests and we can already share our first impressions of their displays. For those of background that would not have even followed the case, Samsung takes this year displays the S6 generation, namely slabs Super Amoled house a WQHD resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, for an unchanged size of 5 , 1 inch on the S7 (13 cm diagonal) and an intermediate size between the edge and the edge S6 + S6 for the Galaxy S7 edge, 5.5-inch (14 cm). In passing, we confirm that the models we tested have good mobile chip Samsung Exynos octo-heart 8890 and not a Snapdragon 820 Qualcomm platform.
The Korean manufacturer is not fetched the 4K on its new terminals, as Sony was able to do on its Xperia Z5 Premium last winter. The WQHD allows him still retain a beautiful display density with 577 pixels per inch for GS7 and 534 pixels per inch for GS7 edge. Enough to supply one of the best reading comfort the market, with a fine display of any type of content.
We have consistently stated that a Full HD display should already widely for such size screen, but obviously the WQHD is a welcome and gain a significant advantage especially for fans of mobile virtual reality. AMOLED technology requires the contrast button to infinity and black, inevitably, is abysmal. maximum brightness radius, you might have seen him pass here and there the evocation of a cap GS7 GS7 edge passage and with a behavior true beacon in the night, around 850 cd / m².

We also found this exceptional maximum brightness, but by concentrating on a small white area of ​​the screen. Our test normal maximum brightness, it takes account of a larger display area and reflected light power closer to the typical use of a mobile screen. Through this, we obtain a brightness that ultimately virtually not move relative to Galaxy S6, a still excellent and rare to 653 cd / m² for GS7 edge and 640 cd / m² for the GS7.
>
results that we associate with a pokey light reflection. Indeed, the GS7 edge equal what was still the best performance of the market, that of GS6 edge +, with 8% reflection when the GS7 set a new record in the field, with only 7% in average light reflectance on the screen. To learn more about the light reflection (reflectance) on mobile screens, we recommend reading our dedicated section.
As usual on mobile devices middle and high-end Korean, the display has several modes. The Adaptive, which theoretically will look for the best made possible by content and Photo, Cinema and finally Basic. And as usual for several product generations, the Basic mode that takes the cake. In order to make it simple, the other three modes are always found in imbalance, especially on the color rendering, with an appearance somewhat fluo too, too sepia. For example, the Adaptive Mode takes over 8 delta E (cuckoo red whimsical carnival) when the Movie mode has a loss of detail in dark tones mix (gamma too crazy) and an overall tone that tends towards a slightly sepia salmon, however, somewhat less marked every year. But so back to our Basic mode, which offers a perfect gender balance.
On the Galaxy S7, we get a average Delta E of 2.5 (above), with a nice overall balance in every key. Flesh tones, gray and primary colors displayed a very nice outfit. Ideal to enjoy a video in good conditions and, on balance, of any type of content.


 


On the Galaxy S7 edge, the average delta E is doing all 3 battery (above), always with a strong balance. The most assiduous of our readers will have noticed, however, that the S7 and S7 are in the absolute edge “worse” in colorimetry their GS6 seniors GS6 edge and GS6 edge over which proposed ways delta E of 1.4 to 1, 8, when the last iPhone 6s and 6s Plus will stall at 1.6.
However, just as equally excellent 6P Nexus or Nexus 5X respectively to 1.9 and 2.8, we play here in where the big difference is indistinguishable to the human eye. It was then on the color temperature of the two new Samsung celebrities are lather, especially the GS7. With a very homogeneous temperature of 6845 Kelvin, the GS7 edge already has a solid white, but the GS7 drives the nail with a near perfect 6503 Kelvins (for a target of 6500 Kelvin). Gamma side, both smartphones have a good balance. Behavior that allows them to view many details both in dark areas of an image as bright.
Finally, the tactile responsiveness of the panel assumes the high-end status and GS7 GS7 edge, without upsetting the trend. S7 offers the same double the GS6 generation in touch with 63 ms delay, but this is still below the market average (88 ms), while the GS7 edge displays a touch of delay 44 ms. afterglow time, it is no thanks to the natural predisposition of the AMOLED technology.
Thus the GS7 GS7 edge and become our new standard mobile market in terms of display, thanks to a clever balance and a permanent compensation of play. Some mobile high-end 2015, even (especially) from Samsung, are sometimes better on some points, but in the end, the 2016 vintage birth to a report slightly more satisfying overall.
It should be understood, however, that in our top 10, everything is played in a handkerchief and squares are exchanged throughout the year on minute details; but we must also emphasize the great efforts that realized Samsung for a little over a year and a half.
The manufacturer still up six of its smartphones in the top of our ranking, namely the top three end 2015 S6 generation, these S7 and S7 edge and decidedly surprising Galaxy A5 midrange. The rest of the ranking returns to Apple (iPhone 6s and 6s Plus) and recent Google Nexus and Nexus 6P 5X.
