Samsung Galaxy S7 Review

PROS / Samsung's new Dual Pixel autofocus is shockingly fast and brings smartphone cameras a leap closer to DSLRs.

CONS / For some reason, the world’s premier Android device is still anchored to TouchWiz and carrier bloatware.

 VERDICT / The Galaxy S7 takes a great thing and makes it even better. It may be pricey, but it’s the most capable smartphone you can buy.

The Galaxy S7 is the best smartphoneSamsung has ever made. It’s delightfully snappy, unabashedly sleek and boasts a superb camera. It’s water resistant and crafted from the finest materials. And after a noticeable absence from the Galaxy line, its microSD card slot has made a triumphant return. This truly is an amazing device.

That’s not much of a surprise, though. We’re talking about the new flagship smartphone from the biggest smartphone manufacturer in the world – of course it’s going to be amazing. It’s also an extremely expensive phone with great competitors like the Moto X Pure and Nexus 6P that cost hundreds less. We can’t help but ask, “Is it worth it?”

If you’re a Samsung fan? Without question. If you’re not, there’s just enough here to give your wallet a moment of pause. The Galaxy S7 deserves your full consideration, but thanks to a couple persistent issues, its price tag could be a little hard to swallow.
