The Galaxy S7 might not quite as cool as its edgier brother, but its smaller size and equally powerful components could make for a potent combination. Check out what the critics think in our roundup!
Reviewer: Dan Seifert
“The S7 and S7 Edge aren’t perfect — the software still lags behind the hardware — but they get the basics right: great screens, great cameras, great performance, and reliable battery life. They also have eye-catching designs and premium materials — in the Android world, the level of polish is unmatched.”
Reviewer: Chris Velazco
“…anyone even considering a new Android phone needs to consider owning one of these things. And yet, for all the polishing Samsung has done, these S7 siblings fall short of game-changer territory — this is a year of careful, logical upgrades.”
Reviewer: Eric Hermmann
“The Galaxy S7 surely warrants its asking price. It excels in all the key areas: its camera is the best that we have tested so far; its gaming performance is great and future-proof; its battery life is enough to support heavy use; and it’s generally a snappy and smooth device. “
Reviewer: Tim Moynihan
“You’ll never be left wanting for speeds, feeds, screen quality, face-computer fun, or battery life. At least until 12 minutes from now, when another awesome Android phone is announced..”
Reviewer: John McCann
“Samsung has tweaked the winning design from the S6, righted the wrongs of its previous flagships, and made a phone you don’t want to put down. The Samsung Galaxy S7 is iterative perfection.”
Reviewer: Robert Leedham
“The Galaxy S7 heralds the dawn of a new era. Welcome to the age of ‘sensible Samsung’, a smartphone maker of dependable excellence. Its latest flagship handset is the technological equivalent of a Steven Spielberg movie: the whole thing just oozes with quality.”
Reviewer: Max Parker
“2015’s Galaxy S6 was ace, but the latest flagship from the Korean company is even better. It looks sleeker than the iPhone 6S, has a better camera than the Nexus 6P and boasts a screen that leaves all the competition in the dust. It’s the most complete phone I’ve ever used.”
