Top 10 Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge New Features!

2016-02-23
what's up guys David here and Samsung has officially unveiled the 5.1 inch Galaxy s7 along with the bigger 5.5 inch galaxy s7 edge while the two devices look very similar to their predecessors Samsung has added some great new features that make these new galaxies better than ever in this video we're going to take a look at ten of the best new features that come with Samsung's latest flagships one design so the first thing we'll talk about is design and to be honest there isn't a whole lot of change in the way the s7 looks compared to the s6 but that's not necessarily a bad thing as the Essex was arguably one of the best-looking phones in 2015 the galaxy s7 and s7 edge carry over the same premium glass in metal materials we saw in the s6 but this time the glass is slightly curved around the back of the s7 and around the back and front of the s7 edge Samsung says these curves will result in not only the phones being more comfortable to hold in the hand but also make the phones a little bit easier to grip as well aside from that the only other design changes worth noting are the bezels are now even thinner than they were on the s6 and the camera lens now protrudes just half a millimeter from the back marking a big improvement over the s6 you'll have four color options to choose from and what Samsung is calling black onyx gold platinum silver titanium and a white pearl so overall a pretty good improvement on what was already a great design to water and dust resistance while the galaxy s5 had water and dust resistance it came with the cost of a less than stellar design with plastic flaps you had to open close every time you wanted to charge the phone the s6 on the other hand had the great design that the s5 lacked but it came with the cost of not having water resistance on the s7 you finally get the best of both worlds with the great design we talked about earlier complete with ip68 water and dust resistance along the s7 to be submerged in up to five feet of water for up to 30 minutes at a time and since the phone is sealed internally instead of externally there are no annoying flaps that you'll ever have to worry about three performance Samson is claiming that the s7 CPU is 30% faster than the one on the s6 with the GPU being a whopping 60 percent faster now these numbers could depend on which variant of the galaxy seven Samson was talking about as some regions like the US will be getting an s7 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chip while other regions will come equipped with Samsung's own Exynos eight octa trip but either way both variants will be packing four gigabytes RAM for better multitasking and both variants will have a new liquid cooling system which should allow the processor to work harder for longer without having to throttle itself down translation the s7 is going to be stupid fast and promises to make for some very interesting form of style speed tests for gaming speaking of performance the s7 and s7 edge look to up your gaming experience being the first smartphones to feature the Vulcan API samsung says this next-generation graphics API will help deliver a PC quality gaming experience on the galaxy s7 and to complement it the s7 will be coming with a new game launcher that lets you control things like how much battery a game is using whether or not you want to be interrupted by notifications while playing the ability to lock the capacitive buttons to prevent accidentally backing out of a game and even a screen capture mode to record your best gaming moments 5 hybrid SIM card slot one of the biggest complaints people had about the Galaxy s6 was the fact that it didn't come with a microSD slot like previous galaxy s devices had and thankfully Samsung heard these complaints bringing back SD support on the s7 with a new hybrid SIM slot that allows for either a dual SIM setup or one SIM and one micro SD card set up that allows you to expand the 32 gigabytes of internal storage by up to an additional 200 gigabytes and a C card on the s7 will work just like an SD card did on the s5 allowing you to store media and certain apps to the card unfortunately the s Evan won't support Android marshmallows new adoptable storage feature Samsung's reasoning is that the feature could cause confusion for consumers since you can't just remove an adopted SD card and put it into another device it's a bit of a letdown but I do get where Samsung is coming from and hopefully there'll be a workaround available for us foam buffs 6 fast charging the Galaxy S six supported fast charging and the same will be true on the galaxy s7 but on the s7 you'll have support for fast wireless charging where a 15 watt wireless charging pad can charge the s7 faster wirelessly than a standard wired charger good considering that slow charging speeds had been one of the knocks on wireless charging this is a much welcome feature seven always on display samsung says that on average we check our phones over a hundred and fifty times a day so to make things a little bit more convenient the galaxy s7 hasn't always on display that'll let you see things like the time the date and any missed notifications without having to wake the screen and thanks in part to the galaxy s7 energy-efficient Super AMOLED display this feature won't have too much of an impact on battery life using up less than 1% of battery per hour the always-on display can be customized to your liking with different clock styles and photos available for download making it one of those little features that I'm really looking forward to eight battery the battery life on the galaxy s6 was ok it certainly wasn't the best battery out there and it wasn't the worst either but with their new phones Samsung looks to improve battery life by including a larger 3000 milliamp battery on the galaxy s7 and a huge thirty six hundred million battery on the s7 edge the larger capacity along with new hardware and software optimizations should make the s7 last few easily throughout the day maybe even two days in the case of the galaxy s7 edge 9 edge panels both the galaxy s6 edge and the s6 edge+ featured edge panels that give you quick and easy access to certain apps with a simple swipe from the edge of the screen and the same can be done on the galaxy s7 edge but the difference is on the S Evan edge the edge panel is bigger with the panel nearly doubling in size from 260 pixels on the s6 edge to 550 pixels on the s7 edge this translates into more information being displayed on the panels which combined with the newly released edge panel SDK should make the edge panels on the s7 edge a lot more useful than they were on the s6 10 camera samsung did something I never really expected them to do with the camera on the s7 and that is that they lower the megapixel count down from 16 megapixels on the s6 to 12 megapixels on the s7 as he phonebooks already know by now a higher megapixel count doesn't always translate into better quality so Samsung finally stopped the spec Wars and lower the megapixel count on the phones in exchange for a larger sensor with larger pixels the sensor can now open up to an f-stop of 1.7 which is larger than any others fireball on the market and the s7 is also the first smartphone to feature dual pixel technology that are allowed for crazy fast autofocus even in low-light conditions combined the 1.7 f-stop and dual pixels on the galaxy s7 s camera less than 95 percent more light than the galaxy s6 s camera which should translate into a brighter and sharper image but we can't judge the s7 s camera until we've put it through our tests based on the fact that the s6 this camera was one of the best out there the s7 s camera looks like it will take it to the next level and possibly be the best camera on a smartphone period so those are our top 10 best new features on the galaxy s7 and s7 edge we have a bunch of coverage coming up on both devices so be
