That being said, Samsung decided to keep up with the latest trends when it came to the Always-On display. It was also seen on the LG G5 which launched on the same day. The Galaxy S7 boasts a 5.1in crystal-clear Quad-HD (2560×1440, 576ppi) SuperAMOLED panel as seen in the Galaxy S6, the S7 only can show you the time, date and notifications on its Always-On display.
It makes use of a proximity sensor to turn off at night or when the device is in your pocket but on all the other times, the information is simply a glance away. Although the Galaxy S7 is thicker than the Galaxy S6, the increased thickness is a welcome.
Whenever Samsung upgrades its devices or introduces a new flagship, it manages to jump straight into the top tier of benchmark results. Samsung has included the brand-new Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 quad-core (2x 2.15GHz + 2x 1.6GHz) processor – or the octa-core Exynos 8890 depending on your region and the LP-DDR4 RAM has been complemented from 3- to 4GB.
The Adreno 530GPU has improved the graphics as well. Meanwhile, in the UK, the Samsung Galaxy S7 will come with a powerful Exynos 8890, not the Snapdragon 820. The Galaxy S6 has the Exynos 7420 processor. It has 14nm architecture, 64-bit chip built with two quad-core (1.5GHz Cortex-A53 and 2.1GHz Cortex A-57) sets and a Mali-T760 GPU is integrated.
