The Samsung Galaxy S7, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Samsung Galaxy S7 Active are Android-based smartphones manufactured, released and marketed by Samsung Electronics. The S7 series serves as the successor to the Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+ and S6 Active released in 2015. The S7 and S7 Edge were officially unveiled on 21 February 2016 during a Samsung press conference at Mobile World Congress, with a European and North American release on 11 March 2016. The S7 Active was unveiled on 4 June 2016, and released on AT&T in the United States on 10 June 2016.

The Galaxy S7 is an evolution of the prior year's model, with upgraded hardware, design refinements, and the restoration of features removed from the Galaxy S6, such as IP68 certification for water and dust resistance, as well as expandable storage with a MicroSD card. Succeeding the S6 and S6 Edge+, respectively, the S7 is produced in a standard model with a display size of {{convert|5.1|in|adj=on}} as well as an Edge variant whose display is curved along the wide sides of the screen and also has a larger {{convert|5.5|in|adj=on}} display. The S7 Active features a thicker and more rugged frame, with an increased battery capacity. The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are the last two phones in the Samsung Galaxy S series to have a physical home button with a front-sided fingerprint sensor embedded in the button. The S7 Active is the last in the Active series to feature three physical buttons with the fingerprint reader embedded home button, when not considering the prematurely discontinued Galaxy Note 7. It is the last phone in the Samsung Galaxy S series to be equipped with a microUSB port, which has since been replaced with USB-C technology.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 was succeeded by the Samsung Galaxy S8 in April 2017.

The Galaxy S7's hardware design is largely that of the S6.

Still photos can be captured during 1440p (30 fps) and 2160p (30 fps) video recording, while the predecessor could only do so at up to 1080p. However, still photos can not be captured during 1080p video recording at 60 frames per second.

The camera software of the Galaxy S7 has a mode for the manual adjustment of operating parameters, such as exposure, ISO light sensitivity, white balance, and exposure value. Parameters can also be set for video recording. However, the ISO light sensitivity and exposure settings are locked during video recording.{{Cite web|url=https://www.sammobile.com/2016/03/30/pro-mode-on-galaxy-s7-and-galaxy-s7-edge-works-even-when-video-recording-is-active/|title=Pro mode on Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge works even when video recording is active|website=SamMobile|date=30 March 2016|access-date=11 February 2021|archive-date=24 November 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211124020329/https://www.sammobile.com/2016/03/30/pro-mode-on-galaxy-s7-and-galaxy-s7-edge-works-even-when-video-recording-is-active/|url-status=live}} In addition, the LED torch can not be toggled during video recording.{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ4J0C4gY0U|title=Review of Samsung Galaxy S7 video camera by videographer|website=YouTube|date=13 May 2016 |access-date=9 July 2020|archive-date=5 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201105043134/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ4J0C4gY0U&gl=US&hl=en|url-status=live}}

== Chipsets ==

The Galaxy S7 devices are equipped with either a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC on the US variants, or the in-house octa-core Samsung Exynos 8890 SoC everywhere else. The US variants support older CDMA networks that are extensively used by carriers there.{{cite web|title=What chip will your Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge have?|url=http://www.pcworld.com/article/3035732/what-chip-will-your-galaxy-s7-or-s7-edge-have.html|website=PC World|access-date=21 February 2016|date=2016-02-21|archive-date=21 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160221195206/http://www.pcworld.com/article/3035732/what-chip-will-your-galaxy-s7-or-s7-edge-have.html|url-status=live}} The processor is cooled with a 0.4mm thick 'liquid cooling' heat pipe cooling system that transfers the heat from the processor and onto the body of the phone. It is used alongside the graphite thermal pads in the previous Galaxy S6.{{cite news|title=MWC 2016: Samsung Galaxy S7 restores expandable storage|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-35625058|website=BBC News|access-date=24 February 2016|date=2016-02-21|archive-date=24 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160224053618/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-35625058|url-status=live}}

The Galaxy S7 devices come with 4 GB of LPDDR4 RAM and either 32, 64 or 128 GB of internal storage (with the 128 GB option being exclusive to the S7 Edge). Storage can be expanded externally using a microSD card, inserted using the SIM tray built into the phone (with dual SIM models utilizing the shared second SIM slot as an option if you want to use either 2 SIM cards at the same time, or just a single SIM card alongside a microSD card).

The Galaxy S7 devices include a USB OTG adapter in the box. It can be used either as a regular adapter to attach USB devices (like flash drives, wired peripherals or the like), or it can be used with Samsung's "Smart Switch" application used to easily transfer data, media and settings from a previous Samsung Galaxy or Android device running Android 4.3 or later, iPhones running iOS 5 or later, or BlackBerry devices running BlackBerry OS 7 or earlier.{{cite web|title=Use Samsung's Smart Switch to quickly set up your Galaxy S7|url=https://www.cnet.com/how-to/use-samsungs-smart-switch-to-quickly-set-up-your-galaxy-s7/|website=CNET|publisher=CBS Interactive|access-date=21 March 2017|archive-date=22 March 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170322020105/https://www.cnet.com/how-to/use-samsungs-smart-switch-to-quickly-set-up-your-galaxy-s7/|url-status=live}}

The Galaxy S7 ships with Android Marshmallow (6.0) and Samsung's proprietary Grace UX software suite. The new Grace UX also allows the user to disable the app drawer. A new "always on" functionality displays a clock, calendar, and notifications on-screen when the device is in standby. The display is turned off if the device's proximity sensor detects that it is in an enclosed space such as a pocket. Samsung claims this feature would only consume half a percentage of battery capacity per-hour. New widget panes can be displayed on the edge of the S7 Edge, in "Edge Single" and wider "Edge Single Plus" sizes.{{cite web|url=http://www.techradar.com/us/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/samsung-accidentally-confirms-the-galaxy-s7-edge-1314216|title=Samsung accidentally confirms the Galaxy S7 Edge|author=James Rogerson|work=TechRadar|access-date=16 February 2016|archive-date=21 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160221181127/http://www.techradar.com/us/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/samsung-accidentally-confirms-the-galaxy-s7-edge-1314216|url-status=live}} Android Marshmallow's "adopted storage" feature is disabled and not usable.{{cite web|title=The LG G5 and Galaxy S7 won't support Android 6.0's adoptable storage|url=https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/02/the-lg-g5-and-galaxy-s7-wont-support-android-6-0s-adoptable-storage/|website=Ars Technica|access-date=25 February 2016|date=2016-02-23|archive-date=25 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160225025640/http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/02/the-lg-g5-and-galaxy-s7-wont-support-android-6-0s-adoptable-storage/|url-status=live}}

Reception

The Galaxy S7 received generally positive reviews with critics praising the return of the micro SD card slot and water resistance, while retaining the premium metal design of the preceding Galaxy S6.{{cite web|last1=Beavis|first1=Gareth|title=Hands on: Samsung Galaxy S7 review|url=http://www.techradar.com/us/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-s7-1315188/review|website=techradar|access-date=2 March 2016|archive-date=1 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160301103943/http://www.techradar.com/us/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-s7-1315188/review|url-status=live}}{{cite web|last1=Martin|first1=Chris|title=Samsung Galaxy S7 review: The best phone of 2015 just got even better for 2016 with most of our prayers answered|url=http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/review/android-smartphones/samsung-galaxy-s7-review-benchmarks-ambient-preorder-exynos-3635183/|website=PC Advisor|access-date=2 March 2016|archive-date=2 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160302002143/http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/review/android-smartphones/samsung-galaxy-s7-review-benchmarks-ambient-preorder-exynos-3635183/|url-status=live}} The design of the larger Galaxy S7 Edge was particularly praised, as its curved sides on the S7 Edge are used to "make the phone much narrower than it would be if it had a flat display. It makes the whole device smaller and easier to use. That becomes readily apparent when you put the S7 Edge next to other devices with 5.5-inch or similar screens" like the iPhone 6s Plus (5.5-inch) and Google Nexus 6P (5.7-inch).{{cite web |url=https://www.theverge.com/2016/3/8/11172968/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-review |title=Samsung Galaxy S7 review: on the edge of perfection |publisher=The Verge |date=2016-03-08 |access-date=2018-09-06 |archive-date=29 March 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180329120948/https://www.theverge.com/2016/3/8/11172968/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-review |url-status=live }}{{cite web |last=Savov |first=Vlad |url=https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/4/10/15241666/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-s8-value |title=Samsung's Galaxy S7 Edge is still a great phone, and now great value thanks to the S8 |publisher=The Verge |date=2017-04-10 |access-date=2018-09-06 |archive-date=29 March 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180329120946/https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/4/10/15241666/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-s8-value |url-status=live }} The quality of the primary (rear-facing) camera has been further improved, despite the megapixel decrease from 16 MP to 12 MP, it has larger 1.4-micron pixels and even faster focusing than its S6 predecessor.{{Cite news|url=http://www.phonearena.com/news/Heres-why-the-drop-in-resolution-between-the-12MP16MP-cameras-of-the-Galaxy-S7-and-S6-doesnt-matter_id79251|title=Is the camera of the Galaxy S6 better than Galaxy S7?|last=P.|first=Chris|date=2016-03-24|newspaper=Phone Arena|access-date=29 December 2016|archive-date=29 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180729171041/https://www.phonearena.com/news/Heres-why-the-drop-in-resolution-between-the-12MP16MP-cameras-of-the-Galaxy-S7-and-S6-doesnt-matter_id79251|url-status=live}}{{Cite news|url=http://www.androidcentral.com/galaxy-s7s-camera-drops-12mp-picks-14-micron-pixels-and-even-faster-focusing|title=Galaxy S7's camera drops to 12MP, picks up 1.4-micron pixels and even faster focusing|last=Martonik|first=Andrew|date=2016-02-21|newspaper=Android Central|access-date=29 December 2016|archive-date=30 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161230100023/http://www.androidcentral.com/galaxy-s7s-camera-drops-12mp-picks-14-micron-pixels-and-even-faster-focusing|url-status=live}}

iFixit gave the S7 a repairability score of 3 out of 10, noting an excessive use of glue and glass panels, as well as it being nearly impossible to service certain components of the device (such as the daughterboard and other components) without removing the screen, which is not designed to be removed, and that "replacing the glass without destroying the display is probably impossible".{{cite web|url=http://www.extremetech.com/mobile/224439-galaxy-s7-teardown-cracked-glass-likely-and-glue-galore|title=Samsung Galaxy S7 teardown: Cracked glass likely and glue galore|access-date=28 July 2016|archive-date=18 July 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160718092701/http://www.extremetech.com/mobile/224439-galaxy-s7-teardown-cracked-glass-likely-and-glue-galore|url-status=live}}
