Buying a high end phone such as the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge requires attention to detail.
The Galaxy S7 Edge is priced differently in Kenya by various sellers, some of them are not fair when it comes to the cost, since they are after profit.
We will look at the Specifications of the phone and, at what best price you can purchase it.
Style
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is one of the most stylish phones I have ever seen. The curves can’t be described in any way. If you a have not seen it yet, you should make an effort to do so. The proportions are balanced in a delicate way.
The edges are sublime with gently constructed device. The body of the phone is seamless with a sense of continuity never seen before in any phone.
If design and style is your thing, you shouldn’t think twice about getting this phone. upon seeing the device for the first time, people’s reactions are usually timeless. Trust me, the next thing they will ask you is “can I hold it? Then they will ask you the price. A few days later, they will ask you where you bought it.
Is the performance any good?
This question should never ever be asked. Samsung went all the way. The spec that is the most eye catching is the 4GB ram. I will not go to the various tests that people have come up with to judge the performance of the phone.
What am saying is this, there are some thing that are sure like the sunrise and sunset of the sun.
Samsung usually settle for many variations of processors on their phones. In this case, there are three types of processors. Qualcomm, Snapdragon, Exynos.
If you want further information on these, you should look up the manufacturers website. What you should however know is that this phone is on steroids. Currently, only the iPhone provides any real challenge.
The phone runs games smoothly with very high frame rates.
The phone totally owns the games. Apps that usually lag on other android devices don’t even show a sign of poor performance.
Will the battery last the whole day?
At 3600 mAh , Samsung Galaxy S7 edge battery is above many of the competitors, even the iPhone. However, android is usually not very efficient when it comes conserving battery.
That is why iPhone with half the battery will last the same as this. That is a story for another day.
The expected talk time of this phone is 27 hours when using 3G. you can get better battery life by switching to 2G but no one really does that these days.
What is the screen quality of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge?
The screen resolution is 1440 x 2560 pixels at 5.5 inches. When it comes to screen quality, Samsung is really at pro level.
Unmatched display here, though some have accused them of having screens that colors are too saturated in. the pixel density is ~534 ppi.
Wow. This is just stunning. Viewing the phone in direct sunlight will not bring about any issue. There is very little reflection from the screen. That is the effect of Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen.
Personally, I prefer this phone over any other phone in the world right now. (February 2017).
The screen is protected using Corning Gorilla Glass 4. So any minor falls will not lead to the screen breaking immediately like some other phones do.
Despite that, if you buy this phone you should ensure you get take care of it like a little baby.
