Samsung Galaxy S7 - Specifications ~ For game lovers

Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are Android smartphones manufactured and marketed by Samsung Electronics. The S7 series is a successor to the 2015 Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, and was officially unveiled on 21 February 2016 during a Samsung press conference at Mobile World Congress, with a European and North American release scheduled for 11 March 2016.

As with the S6, the S7 is produced in a standard model, as well as an "Edge" variant whose screen is wrapped along the sides of the device. The Galaxy S7 is an evolution of the prior year's model, restoring design traits from the Galaxy S5 such as IP certification for water and dust protection, as well as expandable storage.

The Galaxy S7's hardware design is largely identical to that of the S6, retaining its metal and glass chassis, but with refinements such as a flatter home button, and a thinner protrusion for the camera. Both models will be available in dark grey and gold colors; a silver version is exclusive to the S7 Edge. The S7 and S7 Edge are IP68-certified for dust and water protection; unlike the Galaxy S5, the S7's ports are sealed and thus, do not have protective flaps.

All Galaxy S7 devices feature 4 GB of RAM. International models are equipped with a Samsung Exynos 8890 system-on-chip, while North American models utilize a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 (the Galaxy S6 used Exynos chips worldwide due to overheating issues regarding the Snapdragon 810) with quad-core Kyro CPU and Adreno 530 GPU. The S7 includes either 32 or 64 GB of internal storage (in most markets only the 32 GB model will be available). The micro SD card slot was restored, enabling expansion of storage capacity. In some markets the micro SD slot can be used for dual sim. Both the S7 and S7 Edge feature a 1440p Super AMOLED display; the S7 has a 5-1-inch panel, while the S7 Edge now uses a larger 5.5-inch panel. As with the prior model, the S7 Edge's screen is curved along the side bezels of the device. Both models also have larger batteries in comparison to the S6, with 3000 mAh and 3600 mAh capacity respectively and support for wireless charging. The S7 features a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera with a "Dual Pixel" image sensor and f/1.7 aperture lens.
