The New Galaxy S7, A Bad Move by Samsung?

Published Updated

imageAmong much hype surrounding Samsung Galaxy S7, a bad news has emerged. The difference between the previous Galaxy, named S6, and the new Galaxy S7, is minimal. Apart from larger screen and enhanced picture quality, there is little more that consumers would be spending money on.

The Korea Times reports that with the Galaxy S7, Samsung plans to make minimal changes to the most controversial aspect of the Galaxy S6: its design. It stated that, “As the S6 and S6 Edge represented progress; the S7 will have improvements both in picture quality, performance and other some new features. But because smart phones have already been commoditized, you don’t need to spend more on a surface overhaul,” said The Korea Times’ source. “The key point is can consumers enjoy content with enhanced viewing quality and boosted processing speed.”

Commenting on S7, Forbes stated that there is widespread appreciation for the fact Samsung stepped up the build quality of the phone, but not that it introduced an impractical glass back which long term testing found was slippery when your hands are cold and sticky when warm. It also meant Samsung had to kill off its beloved expandable storage and removable battery.

It looks like that apart from surface changes and enhanced resolutions; S7 is not much of a force to reckon with. So if people are money for the new Samsung it can be said that they are paying for the bigger screen.
