the s7 edge builds upon last year's model but adds some things that people missed from
that version such as a micro SD card slot and water proofing but is the phone really
as good as people say it is and is it really worth it well I have been able to try this
phone out pretty extensively over the last few weeks and this is my opinion on it this
is my S7 Edge review
so starting off with the design this phone is as unique as it gets
other than the S6 Edge on the phone the front of the phone curves to the side on both sides
and really gives the effect that there aren't any side bezels at all it really makes text
and other things on the screen look like they are curving off the screen when you swipe
them off also on the front there is a fingerprint sensor that is pretty fast and works pretty
well and that's built into the home button and there is also a front facing camera that
really takes some nice pictures but for some reason it zooms right in for videos it must
be to do with the stabilisation or something I'm not really sure why moving onto the bottom
you get your 3.5mm headphone jack microUSB charing port and a mic and a speaker on the
left there is volume controls and on the right there is the power button and on the top there
is a sim card tray that also couples as a micro SD card tray yes you can expand the
storage this time around and on the back there is a camera that uses some great technology
to focus really fast and there is also a flash talking about the back camera the one on this
phone is absolutely stunning it is super fast to focus i mean crazy fast and it takes some
pretty stunning pictures even in low light going into mode you can see that there is
a whole load of other modes that you can use and there are also some extra ones that you
can download I haven't really tried out many of these but most of them are pretty self
explanatory the camera really does a good enough job in auto but there are some really
nice things in there such as hyperlapse and slow motion
you can also launch the camera from anywhere
by double pressing the home button and it opens almost instantly but this speed and
ease of use is a trend throughout the entire phone though everything about this phone is
super fast and I actually really like the animations that Samsung has added on top of
the usual android animations they really make this phone feel fluid and fast so good job
Samsung on that and that great experience doesn't stop at the animations the interface
itself is actually really good touchwiz has definitely been slimmed down since its earlier
versions leaving you with a really great interface that doesn't throw a whole load of rubbish
in your face the whole experience has that really premium feel that I just really like
a phone the phone is also IP68 water proof which means that you can essentially take
some underwater pictures with this with Samsung claiming that you can take it at a depth of
1.5 meters for up to 30 mins and yes the screen does work underwater by the way what is also
great about this phone is that you don't have to close any ports or anything to put this
phone under water as you had to do with the S5 they did this by sealing all of the components
from the inside rather than relying on covers from the outside the screen on this phone
is a quad HD super amoled display which makes whites look very white and blacks look very
black in fact for parts of the phone that are showing black the LEDs are actually switched
off which makes them look really black because they are not switched on at all this also
allows you to have an always on screen which shows you a clock, your calendar or an image
but for some reason it doesn't show notifications I'm really surprised that they didn't add
this in while this saves on battery life the battery life isn't perfect by any stretch
of the imagination it does usually last a full day but by the end of the day the phone
will probably be running out and will be almost dead and you are going to have to be charging
it but it supports fast wireless charging or non-wireless charging so that shouldn't
be too much of an issue as you can quickly juice it up when you need to overall though
this is an absolutely stunning phone to look at that has a great display, a great design
and is super fast and super responsive it bring back the water proof and expandable
storage features that were not present in the S6 and is definitely a phone that I would
recommend if someone asked me to recommend them a phone and that is coming from a guy
that never used to like Samsung phones at all or any Samsung devices for that matter
so good job on Samsung with this phone I'm really really happy with it so I hope that
you all really enjoyed this video if you did be sure to give it a like and I hope that
you all have a really great day I'll see you all in the next video bye
