First Impression

The attendees did not get to touch the Galaxy S7 at all but we were allowed to have a look at it, suffice to say it’s yet another Galaxy S6 but what’s neat about it is the improved specs on the S7.

The Galaxy S6 / S6 edge changed the way I work last year and even so, the camera was the only thing I liked about it.

Now with the Galaxy S7, I’m impressed that Samsung made the following changes
– People, task and apps on edge.
– Expandable memory up to 200GB
– Hybrid Dual-SIM (one SIM slot that works for memory)
– 3600mAh battery
– Dual-pixel sensor camera with f/1.7 apeture.

They made the edge screen useful, they made it come with expandable storage of which the opening doubles as a secondary SIM slot, they’ve increased the battery capacity and lastly – they’ve improved the impressive camera even further.

Put it short – I can’t wait to take this baby for a ride!
