Posted February 17, 2016 I personally am not too impressed with the S7 so far.. Was hoping for USB type C, which we're not getting, the battery size is very poor and I've yet to see how the camera performs. Was meant to be getting the S7 for my birthday next week, but I'm having second thoughts.

Posted February 17, 2016 I'm quite unimpressed ever since we've had leaks beginning with HTC One m7 a few years ago. Same old refined designs but with more technology. Also kinda confused by the poll you put up OP Please become a member of the Linus Tech Tips forum, keep writing smug remarks & let us love you. Peace out. <| Project M13 & Silverstream.

From the point of looking at an image off the internet of course the details will be washed out & not be clear but what phone hasn't taken something from it's own lineage?

Posted February 18, 2016 I've been disappointed with the way phones have been going for a while. The s7 is no exception.

Posted February 18, 2016 Come again? Since when has almost 3000mAh of battery capacity been 'very poor'?

Well, I was expecting at least 3000, I would have preferred 3300. My Xperia Z1 has a 3000mAh battery just now and it's 2 years old, I can just get through a 8 hour day.

My Xperia Z1 has a 3000mAh battery just now and it's 2 years old, I can just get through a 8 hour day. An extra 200mAh is unlikely to make an altogether gigantic difference. There are more important factors at play - the power efficiency of the components used for example, and the power optimisation of the phone's software. The iPhone 6 only has a 1715mAh battery yet manages to get for the most part comparable battery life to most other flagship devices, for example.

Partly due to the fact that battery life optimization on these skins are terrible. 3000mAh could be not poor if these companies would put more thought into optimizing battery life. Last phone that I had run forever on a 3000mAh was my LG G2.

Posted February 27, 2016 I ordered mine already. I had played with a Gear VR that a coworker had brought in and when I saw that you could get one for preordering the S7 I jumped on it. I currently have the S6 edge and there is nothing wrong with it at all. I am just one of those new phone every year kind of guys. The larger battery for the S7 edge also got me really interested in it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
