Appearance.
Marrying the idea of ​​curved screen, the Samsung Galaxy S7 looks very much like Edge its big brother the S6 Edge. Except that it stops there because the Edge S7 is greater. Featuring a touch screen 5.5 “, it measures a little over 15 cm high and 7.3 cm while being thinner than its competitors. In fact, the beveled edges taper a little more, and that’s . pleasant touch Lacking physical button, everything is in touch configuration of other function is classic. on the bottom edge, the jack, micro-USB port and speaker on the top one,. the multifunction port with the SIM card nano size but also the microSD card who signs his comeback in this model. Behind, the objective of the main camera, in front of the school. for those who think that he is too aware that it is still quite thin in width unlike many in its class. The behind is soft to the touch without being slippery. The waterproof function is back too, no cover, unlike the Galaxy S5 .

Under the hood. at any lord
power is the appointment. While some countries were entitled to the Snapdragon processor, this is not the case in France. Indeed, it is a home processor ahead. The famous model Exynos, is divided into four two processor cores each. One clocked at 2.6 GHz and the other at around 1.6 Ghz. Backed by 4 GB of RAM, mass storage is 32 GB, with an extension via Microsd up to 200 GB. The graphics processor when to him is clocked at 650 MHz. The screen has a glass Gorilla Glass 4, 2K displays a resolution of 2560×1440 with a fineness of 534 ppi pixels, enough for the eye. The battery is 3600 mAh inflated with a fast charging option. What a more than adequate autonomy.

Image or not?
When one is a great smartphone, one must be equipped with a camera system Photo / concurentiel camera. This is the first time in its continuous range of Galaxy, the South Korean manufacturer decrease the number of megapixels in its camera feature. The user will be entitled to 12 megapixels, but the size of the photosites, sensor cells, grows. Add to that an opening 1.7, the biggest opening so far known for a smartphone. The pictures in bright light are superb. The pictures in low light also, however as soon as you zoom a little, details are lost and the pixels appear a little more. In contrast, the autofocus is immediate and very welcome. One feels a welcome change compared to previous models. If one enters the picture settings, you can tell they are well supplied. In automatic mode, you can adjust the resolution, flash, self-timer, HDR mode and some effects. In pro mode, these settings are accessible but not that. the light exposure value, shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, balance blan and the focal length especially for macro mode can be configured. And Ultimate, in this mode we recorded the images in RAW or RAW format. Without compression, rework photos like a pro photographer. The autofocus stabilization is required, by cons you can not do at the same time video stabilization. To complete its functions, it is possible to add motion before your photos.
The video side, the S7 Edge shoots in 4K. A slow 30 frames per second is possible. Youtube fans can stream directly. Finally, a mode gives hyperlapse a speed effect that only the filmmakers could do. In short, with a Sony sensor, it is doing very well in any situation of the moment, except in low light where it is perfectible.

Daily use.
With a battery of 3600 mAh, it is clear that he has a good autonomy. It takes a minimum of one day from the time the game is not the main activity. Its screen is very bright, very nice looking, with an almost infinite contrast. The touch function runs smoothly. During calls, the Edge S7 has a good grip, never cut during the test and we hear very well the listener breathless. 4G is effective, WiFi 5GHz mode ensures very good navigation and ultra fast transfer. The power developed with 4GB of RAM provides a system navigation flawless. The headphone sound output has good listening power. No need to box, on some tracks the highs are too high and become deafening at full load. All 3D-intensive games pass without ralentissmement the S7 Edge. A small heater is noted after a quarter of an hour. The curved right edge is a pretext for a shortcut to adjust the system. With this, applications, weather, or contacts are within reach of the finger. Note that other sliding panels are available, some are against a fee and cost less than 1 € 50. Video playback is also very pleasant with its curved sides. We do not see the black border, and we think the video takes the whole screen. However, except for the aesthetic side is not really seeing a revolution … The first screen is for a continuous flow of information … The others contain a simpler version with little default installed software, and c is good news rather than not knowing what to do with. This gives freedom to the user. Finally we note the return as said above the seal and the dust resistance.

Against S7 S7 Edge.
Samsung has launched two smartphones, very similar. What changes and what is obvious is the size: 5 “2 for S7 and 5″ 5 for the Edge. The battery is much higher because the S7 garners 3000 mAh. Finally, and this is obvious, the appearance changes and therefore the weight also slightly higher for the S7 Edge. Apart from these differences succinct, the rest is of the same ilk. It is a pity not to have designed an S7 Edge that stands out for his little brother, pity not have bet on aesthetics. However, it is a choice of range and it respects.

Again Samsung released a smartphone very upscale. Design beautiful and refined, are added features worthy of the greatest. A hardware power that will take the user experience virtually flawless. Almost perfect …
