Last year, Samsung revived the dying Galaxy flagship brand with the stellar Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge phones. With metal and glass finish, the flagships looked spectacular. Samsung also toned down Touchwiz UI to improve software performance and it did wonders. Samsung once again took the lead in global smartphone sales. Yesterday, at Mobile World Congress, Samsung has taken the wraps off of the successor to the S6, the Galaxy S7. As expected, it is an evolution over S6 and the changes are well thought out and well needed. Samsung Galaxy S7 is a result of Samsung listening to users and fans. Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge will be available starting mid-March 2016 in black, gold, silver and white color options. Both the phones come with Android 6.0 Marshmallow pre loaded.
Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge now come with a new type of camera, named Dual Pixel camera. Thanks to brighter lens with wider aperture and larger pixel, low light performance will be vastly improved and camera has a much faster shutter speed and more accurate autofocus in low light conditions.
“We believe in a world that is brighter, sharper, more convenient, and more fun. We strive to deliver on that vision with the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge by marrying elegant design with functionality and providing a seamless mobile experience,” said DJ Koh, President of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics. “We empower consumers with technology to help them get more out of life and will continue to push the frontier of what’s possible.”
