A perfect grip

Let’s simple: with the Samsung Galaxy S7, the manufacturer has taken the recipe S6 improving some kinks ergonomics. The result is a smartphone with a particularly comfortable grip, thanks to construction of a surgical precision. The camera fits comfortably in hand, and offers optimal access to the entire surface of the screen and the various commands. The back camera sensor loses thickness, and is now much better integrated into the back of the phone. Finally, we particularly appreciated the curved side at the back, allowing a perfect fit in the palm of the hand, where the Galaxy S6 was quick to slip through our fingers. The weight of 152 grams is neither too heavy nor too light, which facilitates prolonged use while being very safe.

The colors displayed by the S-AMOLED are still bright and vivid, and all offers high brightness for outdoor use without any problems. We also liked the “Always on Display”, which displays the time and date of permanently when the screen is idle.
