galaxy s7

This serves as a PSA for the many of you who have been asking me FoxFi does work on the Verizon Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. I say it works on Verizon because I have not tested it on any other carriers. I also know that some carriers are able to block FoxFi so your usage may vary. Now that carriers...

The fact that Samsung decided to only offer the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge through carriers in the US is kind of annoying. This means that not only are our bootloaders locked, but we also have to deal with the huge amounts of bloatware that come preinstalled. Some of the apps are carrier specific...

While the US variants of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are totally locked down it seems that Exynos versions are not locked down at all. In fact TWRP is already available for the G935F, FD, X, and X8 variants! This means that you will be able to root the devices pretty easily by flashing SuperSU in...

In case you missed it all US variants of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge have locked bootloaders. This is a huge blow for those of us with high hopes of running AOSP on a Snapdragon processor. It was several years ago that CyanogenMod announced that they would not officially support phones with Exynos...

Is it just me or does the Galaxy S7 perform poorly in low light? Most of the photos I take in low light are super grainy with lots of noise. This is very disappointing as Samsung advertises the camera as a "Low-light camera". Samsung says an f1.7 aperture lens with larger 1.4ultra micron pixels...

The most exciting news of the day has to be the fact that Samsung actually left Adoptable storage in touchwiz. The feature is not easily accessed however, and is not at all apparent. Samsung believed that their users would rather have a removable sdcard that they could store photos on and share...

The S7 and S7 Edge go live tomorrow, but you can get a taste of the S7 experience right now on your Galaxy S6 or Note 5! Developer "Albe95" has put together an S7 apps package. There are 6 apps included so a few things are missing. Unfortunately this does not include the Always on Display from...

In the above video above the Galaxy S7 camera is tested against the Canon EOS 70D. The guy who put this together may look a bit silly, I mean try not to laugh, but this is actually a pretty great way to demonstrate the GS7's AF capabilities. Unsurprisingly the Galaxy S7 holds its own against one...

If there is a way to break something consumers will find it whether by accident or on purpose and will blame the manufacturer for their own stupidity! We saw this with the whole backwards S-Pen on the Note 5. In that case Samsung knew that sticking the pen in backwards would break the phone, but...

During the Galaxy S7 announcement Samsung was pumped to show off the device's liquid cooling. This "liquid cooling" works by wicking vapor as the phone heats up. This is a measure taken by Samsung to keep the phone from overheating during high intensity processes. A recent teardown of the...

Dropping a new device just isn't fun. With all the T-Mobile Galaxy S7 Edge device out so early this was bound to happen. Most case manufacturers have not even shipped out cases yet. We were told that the front of the device is covered in Gorilla Glass 4. The Gorilla Glass is said to cover both...

The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge is already starting to ship out from 3 of the top 4 US carriers. T-mobile was the first to ship the S7 Edge. Units started arriving on T-Mo customer's doorsteps on Monday. Today AT&T and Sprint started shipping out devices. As a Verizon customer I am getting a bit antsy...

Samsung is at it again adding their own flare to Android even though it is not necessarily needed in this case. They have skinned the Marshallow Emoji in touchwiz. The emoji definitely look much more refined and polished, but Samsung did make some weird choices. For instance an "eye roll" is...

Verizon appears to be going all in on the Galaxy S7 launch. Samsung had already announced that they would offer free Gear VR headsets for those pre-ordering either of the new Galaxy phones. Now Verizon is 1 upping Samsung. They will give you the choice between a Gear VR and a Gear S2 smart...

Both LG and Samsung are boasting the fact that they are bringing us expandable storage on the LG G5 and Galaxy S7. It is commendable of LG and Samsung to offer this. This is what we have been asking for, for LG to not take it away and for Samsung to bring it back. We are getting what we asked...

Samsung does a pretty good job of partnering with companies to line their pockets for adding forced bloat to your phone. They have had a long standing partnership with Flipboard to integrate the Flipboard Briefing screen to your homescreen. The screen is enabled by default and swiping to the...

It has been generally accepted that the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge would include the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 CPU. In the announcement yesterday Samsung talked about the performance of these devices by saying they would be 30% faster than last years model, but never specified which CPU these devices...

Yesterday Samsung announced what will probably be the best selling Android devices of 2016, the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge! The event mostly confirmed what we already knew, but also offered up detailed and juicy demonstrations and explanations of all the new features and specs of the devices...

WhitePages will be partnering with Samsung to bring some pretty nifty features to the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge dialer! Most of you can probably remember a time where you had to flip through a huge yellow book to find a the number of a business or coleague. Today we simply google search that kind of...

Samsung has always been on point with their accessories game! The accessories for the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge will be no different! Samsung has released their official accessories lineup for the pair of devices. The LED view cover has embedded LED lights which display information like time and...
