Samsung Introduces Galaxy S7 Line

We’re also very happy to report that Samsung has fitted a microSD card slot to the new S7 range and the 16GB internal storage we lament so much has been replaced with 32GB. Most the spec details were already leaked before the announcement along with the design but that does not mean that the smartphone manufacturers will have nothing more to show us.

With a new phone in the market in the form of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, the smartphone market is all set to see a lot of new rivalries spring up.

Yesterday at Mobile World Congress Samsung announced the new line to its flagship lineup, the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. This limited time offer is an estimated $150 value and will only be available while supplies last. Aside from boasting a curvy screen, the Galaxy S7 Edge has a bigger screen – 5.5-inches compared to the S7’s 5.1-inch display. The two phones are not too different from the Note 5 nor the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus – the two phones released in the fall of 2015. Battery life conscious folk may be swayed by the S7’s 3,000 mAh battery, slightly larger than the G5’s, which is rated at 2,800 mAh.

The Galaxy S7 series have an F1.7 aperture lens in front and rear cameras, which allow brighter and sharper self-images to be taken in a low light environment. Samsung Pay round out the Galaxy S7.

Samsung’s mobile phone chief, Koh Diong Jin, introduced the new phone models and spoke of the tech giant’s values, saying they were “challenging, collaborating and improving”.

Samsung devices have always performed well in battery tests and the S7 should be the best yet.

The new processors in the Galaxy S7 phones boast high performance but will also run cooler, using a “tube” that helps keep the phone cool in your hand.

Telstra is the first Australian carrier to announce the availability of Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge.

Pre-orders begin February 23 at 8am EST, with an expected ship date and official launch on March 11.
