You can move apps off the home screen and add folders as you see fit. You're going to want to move some things around, but the UI as fast and fluid, and still has plenty of options. The good news is that Samsung's user interface customizations are about as good as they've ever been. It'll depend on what carrier you got your Galaxy S7 from. Other apps - like Google's productivity apps, or Microsoft's, even - will need to be downloaded later as well.
That includes the excellent Samsung Pay, which lets you use your phone for purchases even a store doesn't use contactless payments. Or if you simply don't want to use Google's services but still get new apps, it's an option here.Īnd you might well need to go hunting for a few new apps, as some surprisingly ones might not pre-loaded.

There are some little things that Samsung will want to update through its own services, and that's the price of admission. We recommend biting the bullet and signing up for a Samsung account, and then signing into your phone. And if you're wearing a smartwatch, it's even more superfluous.īeyond that, Samsung is really the only other manufacturer (especially for those of us in this part of the world) you'll run into that has its own app ecosystem. But none of that comes close to the usefulness of other always-on implementations that let you actually do something with the notifications, or show previews of messages.īut, yes, you'll save battery life by not waking the entire screen when you just need to check the time. (And if you're anything like us, you always have an email or text message waiting.) Sure, you've got seven styles of clock from which to choose - or you can go with a monthly calendar view, or a full-bleed patterned image. The bigger problem is that it's not really useful beyond quickly checking the time, or seeing that you have an email waiting. By default you get the day and date, time, battery level, and basic notifications from a select apps, like Samsung's email client and missed phone calls. When the phone's just laying around it'll float a little bit of information around on the screen. It's a feature we've seen on other phones, but this is the first time Samsung's going for it. New for the display is an "Always-on" mode. While nothing beats a good front-facing stereo system, it's much improved over the GS6. If you're going to be stuck with a single, downward-facing speaker, you want it to at least be as good as what's in the Galaxy S7. (It'll be interesting to see how much those stand out on the all-black model.)Īnd Samsung deserves a quick tip o' the hat for the speaker this year. We've managed a few pockmarks on the edges already. It borrows from both while improving on what is already there, but very much still in the same family.īut like other metal phones, it's very possible to ding it up a little bit. Think of the GS7 as an extension of the GS6 and Note 5, really. All in all, it's a really good feeling in the hand. It also feels a lot less plasticky - using more metal will do that. So it's a lot more comfortable to hold that the S6. The biggest difference this year is that the backside has picked up the same sort of curves that we enjoyed on the much larger Galaxy Note 5. Its corners are rounded in the same manner as before. It's a tad heavier than both, but not so much that you'd notice. The Galaxy S7 itself is just about the same size as the Galaxy S6, and the iPhone 6s, while we're comparing things.
And along the way they've worked on some of our concerns. Samsung's mainly kept what worked last time, and made it better. The Galaxy S7 isn't a huge departure over 2015's Galaxy S6.

It's running Android 6.0.1 (Build MMB29M.G930VVRU1APB1) with the February security patches. We've been using a Verizon-branded Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930V) for 10 days in Pensacola, Fla., briefly in Atlanta, and also in the middle of Lake Lanier, Ga. But Samsung has taken what it did well in its 2015 flagship and and improved it for 2016 - and more important it addressed a number of concerns we had with the GS6. Much of what you'll find in the Galaxy S7 should be familiar to those who own a Galaxy S6. It maybe won't be for everyone, but it'll serve the needs of most, and do so better overall than anything else out there. Easily one of Samsung's best, if not the best. But spend some time with the Galaxy S7 and you'll quickly come to the realization that this is a really good phone.
