Samsung galaxy s7 edge in 2020

 

Samsung flagships are no push over, I have been using the Samsung galaxy s7 edge for the past 2 weeks and I have to acknowledge that the build quality is still impressive, with a glass sandwich and metal frame, little prone to fingerprint especially if you have sweaty hands. The phone spots a 12 mp main camera with optical image stabilizer and more than average camera focus, a super amoled 5.5 inc display which seemed massive back then but not so now. The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is a smartphone that was released in 2016 by Samsung Electronics. Here are some of its key features:

-Display: 5.5-inch Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels.
-Processor: Exynos 8890 Octa-core processor or Snapdragon 820 Quad-core processor (depending on the region).
RAM: 4GB of RAM.
-Storage: 32GB or 64GB of internal storage, expandable up to 256GB via microSD card.
-Cameras: 12-megapixel rear camera with f/1.7 aperture and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera.
-Battery: 3600mAh non-removable battery with fast charging and wireless charging capabilities.
-Operating System: Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow (upgradable to Android 8.0 Oreo).
Other features: Fingerprint scanner, water and dust resistance (IP68), and curved edges on the display.

Pros

The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge was a popular smartphone when it was released, known for its powerful specifications, high-quality camera, and sleek design with curved edges.
Excellent design and build quality.
1. Great features such as heart rate sensor that would allow one to measure your real time heart rate and keep track of your health objectives
2. Powerful processor that allows you to breeze through every day use with no lags
3. Brilliant display with Super Amoled technology that produces vibrant colors and contrast for your media consumption.
4. Front mounted finger print scanner that is easily accessible and easy to set up.
5. In addition to wired charging the Galaxy s7 edge also has wireless charging

Cons

1.Smaller battery capacity 3600mah as compared modern budget phones even those manufactured by Samsung itself an example is the Samsung galaxy a50
2. Glass back is prone to finger prints, and cracks, although it relays a premium look, glass is not as durable as metal/aluminium.
3.No longer getting OS upgrades stuck at android 8 (oreo) and will not get later android operating systems update.
4.Micro USB, beginning from late 2019 mobile phones have been shipped with the USB-C which is considered superior and provides much faster data transfer.

Conclusion 

Though the os is outdated and is no longer getting updates this is still a powerful handset that can run modern games and deliver a satisfactory user experience, consider also that prices have dropped greatly
