Everything Specs
Last winter was a great time for Samsung, as they released one of their most recognizable smartphone Samsung Galaxy S7. This smartphone has a 5.1″ screen, with 2K resolution, and believe me, it’s very sharp and vivid! For a smartphone just over $520, Samsung Galaxy S7 packs a serious punch. Exynos 8890 Octa CPU located here is more than capable of anything you need from a smartphone and the addition of 4 GB RAM will prove you that we’re right. Mali GPUs aren’t exactly for gaming, but Mali-T880 MP12 GPU located here is a high-end GPU that will melt even high-end games.
The 12 MP camera here might not sound impressive, but hey, it can record 4K at 30 fps, enough? If not, how about 720p at 240 fps? This camera is pretty good, along with the front-facing camera, although it’s minuscule 5 MP. The weakest link here is the 3000 mAh battery, but it manages to perform well even on these specs.

When it launched, S7 was one of the best devices you could buy and that's when i bought it. I like its design, its screen and the performance it gave me. With its 4 GB of RAM i could play games, watch videos and browse the Internet with ease. I still have it and wouldn't change it for any other phone.
