Galaxy S7 Edge - 48 Hours Later! #Helpful Post

so this is the galaxy s7 edge it has a

beautiful 5.5 inch display a massive

battery and a really impressive camera

but what's it like using one for

starters I really enjoyed the unboxing

experience with this the colors were

extremely satisfying with the black the

silver and that TLD blue and pop on the

box open

bam bam s7 edge which is cool because

it's actually bigger this year and a

really weird-looking sim tool you ever

seen anything like that

we got a USB connector you just want one

straight USB cable they got you covered

power brick USB cable and last but not

least some room these are some stealthy

looking headphones man

oh I just got psyched out man what

happened was is for whatever reason

maybe was the box color I thought these

were some matte black super cool looking

headphones but in fact they look really

familiar

as far as sound quality goes they

sounded yep

you guessed it like stock headphones

earplugs I'm better sorry No is that a

reason to base your decision off a phone

to buy which stock headphones sound

better absolutely not no no as far as

what's new and how it differs from the

s6 edge first off we see a bigger

display jumping from 5.1 inches up to

5.5 the resolution however still remains

the same at 1440 by 2560 and that by no

means is a bad thing it still looks

crisp as hell but now with more screen

real estate watching video playing games

all look incredible and Samsung is

really making a strong case for having

the best smartphone displays on the

planet

now another huge change is the increase

in battery capacity with the s6 edge

that came in at 2600 milliamp hours but

with the s7 edge that packs a monster is

3600 milliamp hours and that is what I

call battery gains we also see a slight

bump in ram with three gigs on the s6

edge and four on the s7 edge now what

may be considered the greatest comeback

since Michael Jordan came out of

retirement microSD card expansion is

back no longer do you get the various

storage options like you did with the s6

edge there is one single 32 gigabyte

model that can be expanded an additional

200 gigabytes with that microSD card

there is also improved edge

functionality it's cleaner it's more on

2

and really just taken advantage of the

screen real estate in a more efficient

manner lastly on top of a bigger screen

and internal changes the entire feel of

the s7 edge is changed as well the back

of the s7 edge is flat now and in turn

that has raised a question and Jonathan

one thing that interests me is how the

new design with the curved back it was

that you picked up off of the table part

easily and surprisingly that change made

a big difference it was easier to pick

up the s7 edge and to me that is awesome

because it's not a benchmark it's not a

speed test but rather it affects how you

would use a product in your everyday

life hey John what do you think of the

new smaller megapixel count in the s7 so

that seems to be a major question with

the s7 edge and s7 for that matter is

the drop from 16 down to 12 megapixels

considered a downgrade megapixels are

not the most important factor when it

comes to a camry of the sensor the

optics the software and what that's

going to equate to is more auto focus

points which in turn leads to faster

focusing picture quality as you can

hopefully see is on point and the amount

of depth that I was able to pull out of

this camera is still little bit nuts one

thing that does leave a little bit to be

desired is how choppy it can be when

shifting exposure while recording video

but overall again Samsung has nailed it

with the camera the front-facing camera

is solid as well and I've always

appreciated how wide the Samsung lenses

are which actually makes it useful for

getting a shot with multiple people in

there as far as how much better it is

compared to say the s6 or s6 edge it's

not drastic but if you're coming from

anything prior it is a huge upgrade I am

just curious about the always-on display

that's it just show the time and

calendar and nothing else so this is

actually one of my favorite features

we've seen similar things with Motorola

and the idea here is the only pixels you

see are the only pixels powered on and

what this allows you to do is quickly

check something like the time without

actually powering on your screen and

wasting battery life you do have the

ability to toggle this off if you don't

like it and that's it now you can swap

between a clock a calendar and an image

although I'm not exactly sure how useful

always having stars on your screen is

but if this is something you want to do

this might be right up your alley

Jonathan do you think that the Samsung

Galaxy s7 is fully waterproof to your

capability so technically speaking this

is ip68 certified which is awesome

because Samsung

able to bring the waterproof elements

while still leaving an open USB port but

as far as how it stacks up against my

waterproof capabilities let's find out

the first test was a simple drop into

water and that handler like a champ I

was actually really impressed to see

video playing back while this was

submerged in water from there I wanted

to take it just a little further so

naturally it was time for the water gun

test good and once again it passed the

test with flying colors so if you had

any doubts about the s7 edge being

waterproof put those to rest so overall

I've really enjoyed my first couple days

with the s7 edge for whatever reasons

Samsung still can't seem to get rid of

that apparent Samsung lag it's not a

slow phone by any means but I do notice

that battery life has been fantastic and

I really like the fact that Samsung has

separated the s7 edge from the s7 but

with these two there actually is a clear

difference hey Jon I was wondering how

the s7 edge fingerprint reader holds up

against the iPhone success from what

I've tested both are extremely fast and

really close to each other but if you'd

like to see a more detailed test on that

on performance and a chance to win a

Galaxy s7 or s7 edge my buddy Austin

speed test Evans just dropped a video

everything you need to know is down

below this is Jonathan and I will catch

you guys later let's hear all about that

waterproofness yeah waterproofness
