Given that it's been more than 4 years since its release, we weren't expecting to find any second-hand phones either. However, we were surprised to find some users selling their used S7s for around Rs. 20,000.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Samsung_S7_Review\"><\/span>Samsung S7 Review<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"tab-con-9\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Design\"><\/span>Design<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s 2020 and phones are huge. The S7 is overshadowed by the majority of devices on the market. After all, its dimensions are only 142.4 x 69.6 x 7.9 mm. Is this a bad thing, however? Smaller phones are easier to use. This is especially true for the Samsung Galaxy S7 as its edges are curved, letting it fit snug into palms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only is it small, it\u2019s also lightweight. This would\u2019ve passed in 2016, but recent phones are all about weight - the heavier it is, the more premium it\u2019ll feel. So, how light is the S7? A whopping <strong>152 grams<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t deny that it looks great though. The Samsung device comes in a Gorilla Glass 4 body, wrapped in an aluminum frame. There\u2019s a premium metallic finish, reminding you that the phone\u2019s a former flagship. However, there\u2019s a catch. How do you feel about fingerprint magnets? That\u2019s exactly what its back is. This is especially true for the silver variant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of variants, you can get the phone in 5 different colours. You\u2019ve already met the silver, the rest are rose gold, gold, white and black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about its build a bit more. Buttons are exactly where they were on the S6. There\u2019s a stark improvement, however. The camera bump on the S7 is noticeably smaller, but still present. Then again, phone cases exist for a reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll notice the tactile home button on the display. It eats a chunk of the screen, but fortunately for us, flagships don\u2019t come with such layouts anymore. If you guessed it, the phone\u2019s fingerprint sensor is on the home button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"tab-con-12\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Display\"><\/span>Display<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The S7\u2019s screen is powerful. It seriously packs a punch, giving phones in 2020 a run for their money. But is it flagship worthy? Not by our current standards. You get a Super AMOLED screen. This means the colours pop, but doesn\u2019t provide as much contrast as Samsung\u2019s newer Dynamic AMOLEDs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is sharp, however. The S7 has a screen resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels. It\u2019s about as sharp as the brand\u2019s current high-end mid-rangers. 2019\u2019s S10 came with a 1440 x 3040-pixel resolution, gobbling the S7 up. It\u2019d be tight competition if we compared the sharpness of 2020\u2019s S20 to the S7. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A large portion of its display was eaten by the top and bottom bezel. This makes the <strong>72.1% screen-to-body ratio,<\/strong> not a surprise. You don\u2019t get a very immersive experience, especially since the phone\u2019s so small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re probably wondering what type of glass is on its display. You get the same Gorilla Glass 4 as its back. It\u2019s certainly durable, don\u2019t get me wrong, but you won\u2019t appreciate it as you\u2019re probably going to stick a tempered glass on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phoneekak.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Samsung-S7-Sri-Lanka.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung S7 - Sri Lanka\" title=\"Samsung S7 - Sri Lanka\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"tab-con-14\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Battery\"><\/span>Battery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Samsung flagships are known for their small batteries. It isn\u2019t surprising to see a <strong>3000 mAh unit<\/strong> in the Galaxy S7. The S20 has a 4000 mAh battery, and unfortunately, that\u2019s still not big enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how does the S7 fair? You can squeeze a day out of it, at most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being a former flagship, it\u2019s also not a surprise that it comes with fast charging. Even the most budget devices come with the feature these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 20 W fast charger takes the phone from 0-100% in about an hour and a half. By no means is this bad as the newer S8 takes as long as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We loved that the device comes with wireless charging. It makes life easier but is certainly not life-changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"tab-con-14\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Performance\"><\/span>Performance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on which variant of the S7 you get, its processor would differ. You\u2019re going to find the Exynos variant in Sri Lanka, and most of the world. if you purchased the phone from the US, it would be the Snapdragon version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Exynos 8890<\/strong> is by your side. Being the chipset of a former flagship, it\u2019s snappy. It\u2019s a dream to work with, especially since the phone comes with so much RAM. You get 4 gigs, making lag an issue you barely, if not, never face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Samsung took the phrase \u2018if it isn\u2019t broken, why fix it?\u2019 to heart. The more expensive S8 and S9 also come with 4 GBs of RAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can game with it, but it won\u2019t be that great an experience due to the phone\u2019s size and screen to body ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What about storage space? You can choose from 32 or 64 gigs of space. We don\u2019t know why Samsung decided to leave the 128-gig option out, the older S6 came with it. Thankfully, the S7 comes with a microSD card slot, letting you expand its storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re probably excited about Android 10. So, wondering if the S7 is getting the update or not is warranted. Sorry to disappoint, but the phone didn\u2019t get the Android 9 update, so expecting the Android 10 update would make no sense. You\u2019re now probably wondering what Android variant you get out of the box. This would be Android 6, but you can upgrade the S7 to Android 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"tab-con-15\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Camera\"><\/span>Camera<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The phone\u2019s camera has less pixels than the S6 but is the same size. You\u2019re getting a 12 MP unit, instead of a 16 MP one. It definitely holds its own against the S6, which was crowned 2015\u2019s best camera phone by many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s amazing, capturing immense detail and colour. After all, there\u2019s a dual-pixel sensor on the phone, making it DSLR like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without an additional wide-angle camera, it can still take some wide shots due to the dimensions of its lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It certainly has a camera fit for 2020. However, it can\u2019t out beat the cameras on Samsung\u2019s newer devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of its selfie camera, there\u2019s a 5 MP sensor that\u2019s good, but not something worth talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"tab-con-2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alternatives\"><\/span>Alternatives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you think about the S7? Tell us in the comments below! In the meantime, let\u2019s take a look at a few alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Samsung_Galaxy_S8\"><\/span>Samsung Galaxy S8<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Samsung reduced the top and bottom bezels that we disliked so much. With much of the bezels gone, you get an 83.5% screen-to-body ratio. The fact that its screen is big helps as well. Don\u2019t get your hopes up, however. It\u2019s not big by 2020 standards. You\u2019re getting a 5.8-inch device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 5.8-inch display is Super AMOLED. You already know how we feel about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were glad to see how sharp the S8 was. It\u2019s needle fine, coming with a 1440 x 2960-pixel screen resolution. It outdoes S7 but is still not as sharp as newer Samsung flagships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phoneekak.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Samsung-Galaxy-S8-Sri-Lanka.-e1589210269307.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy S8 - Sri Lanka.\" title=\"Samsung Galaxy S8 - Sri Lanka.\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of the glass on the front, it\u2019s Gorilla Glass 5. The glass is on the back too, making the phone more durable than its predecessor. That being said, it\u2019s still light. You\u2019re getting a device that\u2019s 155 grams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The S8 has an HDR10 screen too. This means it\u2019s capable of streaming <a style=\"outline: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pocket-lint.com\/tv\/news\/137367-what-is-hdr-what-tvs-and-devices-support-hdr-and-what-hdr-content-can-i-watch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HDR10 content<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As expected, you don\u2019t get Android 6 out of the box. Instead, it\u2019s Android 7. It can be upgraded to Android 9, but this is about it. You won\u2019t be getting Android 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of what Android 9 will be powering, it\u2019s a device that comes with the Exynos 8895 chip. It\u2019s <a style=\"outline: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/8890-Octa-vs-8895-Octa_8020_8590.247596.0.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">much faster<\/a> than the chip in the S7. Of course, the S8 comes in a Snapdragon variant too, sold in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, its battery is really small. It\u2019s also a 3000 mAh unit. It doesn\u2019t last as long as the S7 though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No surprise, the phone comes with a fast charge. You\u2019re getting a 15 W fast charger, taking the device from 0-100% in about an hour and a half. Yes, wireless charging is available too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what about memory variants? There aren\u2019t that many actually. You only get one that comes with 64 gigs of space and 4 GBs of RAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Camera-wise, the same rear sensor in the S7 is present. This time, you get an 8 MP front camera that\u2019s more dynamic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"tab-con-4\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Samsung_Galaxy_S6\"><\/span>Samsung Galaxy S6<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Samsung S6 was released in 2015. Keep this in mind when thinking of making a purchase. It\u2019s old, but is it a good phone? Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For starters, it comes with a glass body. Once again, you\u2019re met with Gorilla Glass 4 on its rear. Its frames are lined with aluminum, making things even more durable. As you guessed, the glass is on the front too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s much lighter than its brother, unfortunately. The phone\u2019s <strong>138 grams<\/strong>, so it\u2019s a feather in comparison. It\u2019s a stark contrast to flagships in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phoneekak.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Samsung-Galaxy-S6-Sri-Lanka-e1589210183243.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy S6 - Sri Lanka\" title=\"Samsung Galaxy S6 - Sri Lanka\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"height: 100%;\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being released before notches were a thing, it\u2019s no surprise that there\u2019s a lot of bezel on the phone. You get a 70.7% screen-to-body ratio with your purchase. Although not great by today\u2019s standards, 70.7% isn\u2019t too bad when compared to its brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their screens are similar too. The S6 comes with the same screen resolution and Super AMOLED panel as its brother, giving you an equally immersive viewing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have to talk about its chipset. It\u2019s not uber fast by today\u2019s standards but is more of a processor seen in today\u2019s mid-rangers. What exactly do you get? The <strong>Exynos 7420<\/strong>. The S7\u2019s chipset <a style=\"outline: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/laptopmedia.com\/highlights\/samsung-exynos-8890-mali-t880-vs-exynos-7420-mali-t760-tech-specs-and-cpugpu-benchmark-results\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">runs laps<\/a> around it. Unlike its sibling, you don\u2019t get a Snapdragon variant, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of variants, what are your memory options? You can choose from 32, 64, and 128 GBs of space. Unfortunately, you only get 3 gigs of RAM. This means your device won\u2019t be as snappy as the Galaxy S7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You get a single camera set up again. It\u2019s a 16 MP wide sensor. It\u2019s incredible, being crowned 2015\u2019s best camera by tech enthusiasts all over the world. It gives the S7\u2019s camera a run for its money. We\u2019d even say that In 2020, the S6\u2019s sensor is still something to gawk at. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of its front camera, there isn\u2019t much to talk about. You get the same front set up as the Galaxy S7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did we mention the Android version you get? If the S7 won\u2019t be getting the Android 10 update, there\u2019s no way the S6 will. Out of the box, you get <strong>Android 5, <\/strong>in case you\u2019re wondering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The S6 takes an hour and a half to get charged, similar to the S7. Its battery is seriously small, though. It\u2019s only 2550 mAh. It can barely last a day, definitely not as long as its successor can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"tab-con-4\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Samsung_Galaxy_S7_Edge\"><\/span>Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The S7 and S7 Edge are strikingly similar, being each other\u2019s best alternative. The S7e is heavier than its brother, though. The device is 157 grams. It feels more premium in your hand. This doesn\u2019t mean it isn\u2019t built from different materials. Both phones have Gorilla Glass 4 bodies with aluminum frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It not only feels more premium, but it also looks more premium. The edge in its name isn\u2019t there for fun. The phone\u2019s sides are completely curved, giving way to \u2018edges\u2019. The edges are functional. They can light up and display your notifications. However, are they that useful? Samsung abandoned them the following year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The phone\u2019s bigger, but not by much. It\u2019s a <strong>5.5-inch device<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/phoneekak.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Edge-Sri-Lanka-e1589209940298.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - Sri Lanka\" width=\"188\" height=\"246\" title=\"Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - Sri Lanka\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"height: 100%;\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It comes with the same Super AMOLED display and screen resolution as its counterpart. As there are no side bezels, it\u2019s obvious that the S7 edge comes with a better screen to body ratio, it\u2019s <strong>76.1%.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, you get Android 6 out of the box. You can upgrade it to Android 8, but that\u2019s as far as you\u2019ll be going. No surprise, the Samsung device is not receiving the Android 10 update. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the S7 came with two versions, one with a Snapdragon chip, and the other with the Exynos, we\u2019re not shocked that the S7E does the same. If you\u2019re wondering what these chipsets are, you\u2019re met with the same ones in its brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What about its camera?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re getting the same set up in the S7. This is true for its front and back cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s move onto the battery:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its unit is <strong>larger than its brother\u2019s by 600 mAh<\/strong>, easily letting it last a day. Other than this, you\u2019re getting the same fast charger and ability to wirelessly charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of memory variants, you have a better selection to choose from. You can choose from 32, 64, or 128 GBs of space, along with 4 gigs of RAM. Of course, it comes with a microSD slot like the previous 3 too. We would\u2019ve been surprised otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"tab-con-11\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The verdict\u2019s in. We think that the S7 is a phone worth your time. Although it was released this year, its specs hold up well. This is especially true for its camera. However, does it look like a phone from this year? Not at all. Its bezels and stature stick out like sore thumbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">If you want the S7 but can\u2019t bear its screen to body ratio, the S7 edge exists. Its edge display looks futuristic, so you\u2019ll fool people into thinking your device is a new release.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong>Hopefully, you found our review useful.
