We found what Dad really wants – a Samsung Galaxy S7 (or S7 edge) smartphone. If he has anything else, you can be sure this is what he should have. We don’t have enough words to sing these devices’ praises. The best photos, simultaneous multi-function activity on the screen, cool colors and design, superior sound…and as the endless Lil’ Wayne commercials show…water resistance. Other makers don’t provide this feature with the importance that it deserves. It makes you wonder why ALL smartphones aren’t resistant to water. So this year skip the tie, and give him what any modern, active, fun loving, functioning adult can appreciate.
We are always proud to recommend Samsung products. They have continuously proven to be ahead of the competition and set the standard for future products from competing brands. The S7 is no exception. The only thing we may want more than the S7 is…their latest – whenever it arrives – Samsung Galaxy Note.
With the S7 Samsung has gone to the drawing board of the S line and looked on features to improve.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge are designed for the modern active lifestyle. Here is a unique mobile experience that features an enhanced design, higher-quality camera, refined software functionality, and unparalleled connectivity to a galaxy of services, products and experiences. As DJ Koh, President of Mobile Communications Business for Samsung Electronics says, “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. We empower consumers with technology to help them get more out of life and will continue to push the frontier of what’s possible.”
Let’s go through the improved features starting with the advanced smartphone camera.
How often have you found yourself in an environment with the perfect ambient lighting and a desire to capture the scene just as you see it. You take your smartphone and click…too dark. Alright, you change the setting, add the flash, and click…too bright. It just seems impossible to find the right setting to convey your environment on a photograph. With the S7 that’s a thing of the past. Whatever the lighting situation, you can be sure to end up with crisp, sharp, colorful photos that often improve on what the eye see.
Why? Because the S7 main, rear camera sensor captures 95 percent more light through a wider aperture and larger pixels to deliver better photos. With the first ever Dual Pixel sensor in a smartphone camera, the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge autofocus on an image quicker and more accurately.
Now focus on design.
We love the gold platinum color, and the design. The S7 has a curved-glass back and slim ergonomic body with a 5.1-inch screen, while the S7 edge is 5.5-inch. As you know the S7 edge features curved glass on all sides of the device, giving a unique dual-edge display and bigger screen than the Galaxy S7 for a fully immersive experience. The larger edge panel on the Galaxy S7 edge gives users more space for apps to make it easier to select and swipe through the different screens with one-hand.
Let’s talk about function.
By now you know that in the latest top-of-the-line Samsung Galaxy smartphones you are able to open multiple functions on the screen all at the same time. That means you can answer emails, while scrawling through photos, checking your calendar, or having the HOMBRE1.com website open.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge sport a Super AMOLED, Always-On Display which allows users to take short, quick peeks at basic information like the time, or notifications without touching or waking the screen. Always-On Display intelligently turns off when the phone is tucked away in a pocket and out of sight.
Water Resistance
We said it before, and we’ll say it again. How can you go through life without a water resistant phone?
With the S7 and S7 edge you need not worry about the rain, dropping the phone in a puddle, or being afraid to carry your phone to the pool, ocean, or on that summer boat ride.
Enhanced Performance
From launching apps to playing games to streaming video, everything happens faster and smoother on the Samsung S7 and S7 edge, thanks to a new, improved, more powerful and more efficient CPU and GPU. The phones have boosted battery capacity of 3,000 mAh for the Galaxy S7 and 3,600 mAh for the Galaxy S7 edge. Users will also enjoy fast wireless and wired charging. Additionally, the hybrid SIM card tray allows users to insert a microSD card for up to 200GB of additional storage.
A Complete Galaxy
Samsung is always a step ahead and with the S7 or S7 edge you can continue existing in the Samsung Galaxy world seamlessly. From the S7 you’ll probably want to expand the experience with the Gear VR to enjoy immersive 360-degree content, or try the new Gear S2 Classic to bring features of the smartphone to the wrist, or maybe use mobile payment service with Samsung Pay. All this can now be done and function within the same Galaxy.
In the U.S., the Galaxy S7 is available in Black Onyx and Gold Platinum and the Galaxy S7 edge available in Black Onyx, Gold Platinum and Silver Titanium. Both the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge are available with built-in memory of 32GB and expandable memory options.
