Top 5 Coolest Features of the New Samsung Galaxy S7

The Samsung Galaxy S7 is finally upon us. With pre-order customers already getting their mitts on it and in-store availability under way, the high-end handset has gone head-to-head with the likes of the iPhone 6S, newly unveiled LG G5, and its own sibling, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, for the best smartphone crown.

Here’s are the five best features of the new Samsung Galaxy S7:

1. Water Resistant

The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge stand up to water better than the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, but not without sustaining permanent damage, according to the latest torture tests published Monday gadget-warranty outfit SquareTrade.

2. The best cameras on any smartphone

The Samsung Galaxy S7 camera has dropped from last year’s 16-megapixel camera to a new 12-meg unit in a bid to improve its after dark imaging abilities. OK, yes, this might sound a bit backwards, but it makes sense – honestly.

3. It feels great to hold

This breaks up the blocky design, and gives it a more comfortable feel. The S6’s nipple-esque protruding rear camera has been removed too, with the S7’s camera now sitting flush with the back of the device. Well, almost.

4. Improved specs

The Samsung Galaxy S7’s specs improvements only further enhance Sammy’s already immense flagship phone. A new processor ups overall power by 30% while 4G of RAM means things will continue to run smoothly even if you’re a multitasking master.

5. Battery lasts longer

Battery life has been improved too. Significantly, the S6’s indifferent 2,550mAh battery has been subbed out for a new 3,000mAh offering. There’s now enough juice to watch an entire series of Game of Thrones in HD before needing to make a trip back to the mains.
