A few days ago we told you 7 reasons to buy the Samsung Galaxy S7, which is already officially sold in the market and is Samsung's new bet to try to conquer the mobile phone market once again. The 7 reasons that we offered you are the most interesting and with total security they have convinced many of you, but as we already said there are many other reasons why you should not buy a Galaxy S7.
Today in this article we are going to tell you how you were already imagining 7 reasons why you shouldn't buy a Samsung Galaxy S7. Some of them are very evident, but in others of them perhaps I had not fallen or raised you.
If you are considering the possibility of acquiring a Samsung Galaxy S7 and you have already read the reasons why you should buy it without hesitation, today we are going to tell you many other reasons why you should not. Of course, the final decision is in your hands, we only give you data so that you take them into account and make the most correct decision.
An almost perfect design, which is broken by looking at it
Nobody doubts that the design of the Samsung Galaxy S7 is spectacular in every way, but neither can anyone escape that we are facing a very fragile mobile device and that as they say it can be broken just by looking at it.
Unless we are very careful or wear it for life in a case, our Galaxy S7 will not last long intact. Cones are made of premium materials, but they are not too resistant. If you are not very careful or a big hand, without a doubt this smartphone is not for you.
The screen is either curved or very small
This time Samsung has decided to launch two different versions of this Galaxy S7, let's call it a normal one, which offers us a 5,1-inch screen. The other, the edge, offers us a larger screen with a curved screen. If we want a terminal with a large screen, we will have to swallow whether we want it with the curved screen or not and if we want a smartphone with a screen of just over 5 inches we will not be able to enjoy the curve.
Making 4 versions of the Galaxy S7 would surely have been the solution to please everyone, but we know that it is difficult for Samsung. This even though it may not seem like it can be an important reason not to buy the new flagship of the South Korean company.
Battery has improved, but is still insufficient
Even though Samsung has greatly improved the battery of the Samsung Galaxy S7 compared to the Galaxy S6, the 3.000 mAh offered by this new terminal are still insufficient clearly if we consider that we are dealing with a mobile device that has a screen larger than 5 inches.
If we are looking for a smartphone that offers us autonomy that exceeds 24 hours without a doubt this Galaxy S7 should not be an option since its battery will allow us to reach the end of the day, but not much beyond.
The price is prohibitive
Despite the fact that it is becoming easier to buy a mobile device with the characteristics of the Galaxy S7, through loans, through convenient installments or through a mobile operator, its price is still absolutely prohibitive.
Paying more than 700 euros for a mobile device, for many news and features that it offers us, is nonsense Or at least that's my opinion.
In a few months the Galaxy S7 will be worth much less
Related to the price of the Samsung Galaxy S7 we must not forget that in just a year we will see the Galaxy S8 appear on the scene, which will leave the price of this smartphone that today is being news almost daily on the ground. However, we should not wait a year for the price of the new Samsung flagship to drop greatly. Some studies estimate that in a few weeks this smartphone could be worth between 100 and 150 euros less.
For those who wait a few weeks to buy their Galaxy S7, it will be great news to save a few euros, but all those who buy it now will see with suspicion and even a little anger that they have left a good handful of euros on the road.
The improvements over the Galaxy S6 are not too many
The Samsung Galaxy S7 has incorporated some other improvement and has renewed how it could not be otherwise its processor that accompanied by more RAM memory has further increased the performance of the terminal. Nevertheless the improvements over its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S6 are not too many And perhaps for all who have the previous flagship of the South Korean company it is an unnecessary move to acquire this new Galaxy S7.
For those who are thinking of buying one of the new Galaxy S7, it may be a better opportunity to acquire a Galaxy S6 with a price that is almost a balance compared to what came on the market about a year ago.
We don't need a super smartphone
Despite what we all say and repeat on many occasions nobody or almost nobody needs to have in their possession a mobile device such as the Samsung Galaxy S7. With excessive power, a pretentious design and a price that is too high, we could say that it is excessive for any user.
Having it as a whim is clear that it is an option, but no one needs to spend more than 800 euros on a mobile device when there are also other terminals on the market, much cheaper and that offer us more or less the same characteristics and specifications.
Can you think of any more reasons why we shouldn't buy the Samsung Galaxy S7?. Tell us in the space reserved for comments on this post or through the social networks in which we are present. You can also tell us if you have decided to buy a Galaxy S7 because you have decided and if the decision is the opposite, we are eager for you to tell us.
The reasons for not buying an S7 are very vague, it seems an article made out of necessity to comply with the previous one. Lack of technical arguments.
There are no technical reasons, I would only stay with its price and its design, which are already enough not to buy it.
A greeting!
It is currently the most beautiful and best smartphone in the world
..
Reasons a little inconsistent, but the last one is already stupid .. you don't need a "super smartphone" but then something lacks? They were -_-
It seems more like a bad publicity from the very expensive and Chinese IPHONE
Samsung is Korean, what things right ?.
Regards and thanks for your comment!!
It makes me a stupid article and if I start looking for an answer to each of your reasons, I will knock them all down
And I am not defending Samsung or any brand is a very general comment
Today good cell phones come from premium materials, ……… I don't love myself
extend but what garbage is what they write
One reason is that we don't need a super smartphone ???? Pffff
One reason is the price pfffffdd if I feel like spending 1000 bucks on an iphone galaxy or whatever, I feel like I don't see a reason
Didn't you see the resistance test they did to the S7? This cell phone is made to be carried without covers for many years. What a bad article.
This reason is included based on my experience. When I tested the Galaxy S6 it slipped from my hands within 5 minutes of taking it out of the box and the screen broke. I haven't dropped the Galaxy S7 yet, but it is very slippery and will sooner or later fall off.
A greeting!
Hello, good day. I'm about to buy a Samsung S7 and I would like to know if I put the identical case to the wallet and I put glass mica if it were to fall, it would break anyway. THANKS
Three times my S6 Edge has been dropped and not a scratch on the screen. My girlfriend, her S6 Edge Plus fell when she was walking through Puerta del Sol in Madrid, it fell through the screen, guess the result. It is not necessary, I already tell you, INTACT. For bad screens, those of the Xperia Z3, a fall from the desktop and my cousin had to send it to the SAT to change the screen, a week later, a friend of his hit him with the clock and made a hole in the screen, another once to the SAT.
What you've written is bullshit, in general, from start to finish. And on top of that you go and say that the S7 still hasn't hit you.
I insist, an Edge and an Edge Plus and here they continue with their screens. I knock on wood. And since when a 5-inch screen is small for a smartphone, it is the ideal, indeed, I would say that it is already too big. 5,5 ″ is a pain in the pocket, in fact my girlfriend's Plus I had bought it for me, I told her that if she bought the S6 Edge we would change them, and I didn't get to release the Edge Plus, I waited because it condemned me to wear a bandolier. A 5,5 ″ screen is overkill, and many times they put those screens in cheaper phones to have more size to fit components without increasing the thickness.
Prohibitive price, no more than an iPhone, which in what I like the most iPhone is its performance at a suitable size. We don't need a television in our pocket.
What will be cheaper in a few months? Logical, unless we are talking about an apartment in the center of Madrid, some land to be developed or a painting, everything usually goes down in price over time. The iPhone do not go down so much and that is why those of the previous generation are bought less.
The improvements with respect to the S6 are not many, but if you do not have an S6 it is amazing, 1 Gb more of RAM, RESISTANCE TO WATER AND DUST, EXPANDABLE MEMORY BY MICRO-SD, more battery, less frames, more updates of the operating system in front.
Do you realize that all the comments come to say that you have written a stupid article, lacking in rigor, and excessively subjectivity?
I think you travel the tests to s6 and there are many with split screens
It is glass whether we are careful or not, it is glass for everyone, even if it is primium glass
Alvaro had never broken a phone, Samsung s7 lasted 7 days. Very sad since I will be paying it for 2 years and I thought that I was investing in a resistant article.
Hello Alvaro, I bought an S7 8 days ago, it's nice and everything they want, as they say, if I feel like it, I spend it, period, but I don't know which phone they did. Resistance test, I left it charging and the screen appeared broken and not to mention that the replacement is extremely expensive ………. so it is very beautiful but very fragile I do not recommend it
I have many reasons to buy an S7 if or if I am going to buy it at the end of the month ... I'll explain it to you about Samsung smartphones I have at home all the models that I write about is an S6 edge plus. … In relation to the price if it is expensive to me personally I do not care I am Happy Tecnología I am from Samsung. And more I have a gear s that for me is a pass. .more a week ago I bought the GEAR S2 edition or rose. ..my wife and 13-year-old daughter who are Apple fans have more of the same latest iphone and apple watch. .well I'm almost 58 now… .this is my hobby and I'll tell you one thing I don't have money I'm a simple worker… ..in Agriculture that everyone when they go to buy a lettuce for 1 euro dis that is expensive. ..pois very well I planted it I take care of it until it goes on sale 90 days of hard work and each lettuce that comes out of me or our production I put on the market for resale 10/15 euro cents ... good friend friends
HAPPY TECHNOLOGY
What makes Samsung S7 is an eye 'and what this advertising has done is a child
We have tried to see the Galaxy S7 from the positive side and the negative side, with 7 reasons to buy it and 7 not to buy it. You can position yourself on the side you want.
By the way, I would love to be a child or at least be one year younger, but unfortunately I already have a gray hair.
A greeting!
All the reason in the world. ...
I Galaxy S7 EDGE my next purchase
SAMSUNG E SAMSUSUNG the rest is already part of the past let's take advantage of the future
LIVONS THE HAPPY TECHNOLOGY
This article is rubbish, probably written by the typical pive who is a computer scientist and has an iphone.
With 3600mah, how can the battery not last? With a gorilla glass 5, what do you say about what breaks just looking at it? As if that were not enough, the rear part (the one that suffered more from the blows) is less exposed than in the s6.
What has not changed with respect to s6 ??? Do not make me laugh, just to be able to put a removable memory card and IP68 resistance to water, it is much better, not to mention a much more efficient interface especially for the functions of the curved screen on the edge.
This article will have been written by some of those parguelas who say there is no difference between 1080p and 2k or between 30fps and 60fps ...
Do not make bad publicity of a piece of mobile that is going to dispute the best mobile wl year together with the g5.
Can someone confirm when we have SAMSUNG PAY available. .
Thank you
I hadn't read for a while, or rather, I was wasting time reading such a bad article. It seems that it was paid for by some company that is a competence of Samsung.
I imagine that according to you, the article "7 reasons why you should buy a Galaxy S7" has been paid by Samsung, right?
A greeting!
It does not have an infrared emitter. It's a feature of my current s5 that I simply love, so losing it makes me so angry that I probably won't change terminals or consider other options.
Nobody forces you to buy it Mr. Villamandos. There is a saying that says "when the fox cannot reach the grapes, he says they are sour." I hope you have understood. It is everyone's option to buy what they like.
At no time did Nicoleta say that it was a good or bad purchase because two days ago I gave 7 reasons to buy it and with this article I have put myself on the other side. I also think that the S7 is a good purchase, but it also has its negative points, like buying any smartphone.
There are several drop tests of the S7 edge where an acceptable resistance is shown in addition to having IP 68 certification, which if it is a problem is the repair of it, Ifix demonstrates it on its YouTube channel. If its price is excessive since the manufacturing cost is US $ 255, practically the same as the S5 in its days (the most expensive is its processor US $ 60). But fashion costs and having the latest trend on the market is not affordable for most. I still think that by those Items against it influences whether to buy it or not.
The drop tests have shown that the resistance of the S7 edge or the S7 is otherwise acceptable, the point against is if its repair which according to Ifix on its YouTube channel is almost impossible, because the components are modular that is, it is distributed in blocks and not independently, making it difficult to replace.
5 ″ It is acceptable, it is also directly reflected in the performance of the battery, and for the edge I think the size is even more balanced than last year, which became a direct competition from Note 5 and they chose not to distribute it in some markets . Its edge type screen made a difference last year and is what users prefer and in the pre-sales it was reflected
The prohibitive of the price is relative, the fashion costs and having at this moment this flagship makes a difference between lovers of smartphones, it is excessive if we compare it with its manufacturing price of about $ 255, its most expensive component being its processor which costs about 60 Dollars.
Najar the price of insurance that yes but the user pays the exclusivity and the decision to have it now and not in a few months
The improvements may be few in terms of aesthetics or their customization, but the ones that we do not see (software and hardware) improved a lot.
That we do not absolutely need this terminal is true it is only a trend in the consumerism market, which will disappear when it comes out in Note 6 or S8 and so on.
So bad is this article (without real grounds) as Mr. Villamaldos trying to justify his article by responding to each of the criticisms, excuse me, but just like you. he had the freedom (of expression) to write his nefarious article, let the rest of us express our outrage, and YES swallow the criticism ... and long live Samsung!
They are everyone's taste. Okay
completely agree IT BREAKS SO FAST DO NOT BUY IT>
I have had S, S2, S4 and S5. I coimpre S7 edge two weeks ago and it slipped and falling from the height of my pocket the screen cracked on the upper left and lower left. If that is gorilla 4 then the s5 is more resistant
I'll wait a few months after the s7 is out, so that the s6 drops in price and I can buy an s5 x)
The article is really good, it tells the truth and the reality of things, although it is true it is a luxury device and "cutting edge technology" it is also true that in a short time it will cease to be, and you sheep will continue to buy every time that a new phone comes out, because they are simply ignorant, coupled with the fact that they do not know and have no idea what they are buying, since the advertising media are in charge of thinking for you and deciding for you how to spend your money Remember that these phones are already disposable nowadays, and if someone has a little culture remember the meaning of PROGRAMMED OBSOLESCENCE, change your way of thinking, think differently, this article reveals reality, of course not in all its splendor but it's close enough,
DEMAND THE BEST, LEARN TO ASK AND FINALLY DO NOT LET OTHERS THINK FOR YOU, DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO PRICE THINGS, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO SHOULD PRICE THINGS.
Excellent answer Angel and it is very true, the Samsung Galaxy are fragile like porcelain tableware and people are only subjects of study and marketing tests borrowing uncontrollably in order to show off that I call IGNORANCE wanting to show off and go into debt without control just to do the current ridiculous trend among idiots called fanboys
I had an experience with 4 Samsung S7 Edge computers. The first was from my mother who bought it and also added the amoled screen, a few days a simple fall from the kitchen table was enough to completely destroy the screen. The second was from my brother's wife who used it with the full cover with a lid, in a normal fall that anyone with their phone usually has, one side of the screen splintered, the third and most painful was the Personal, 1 week after buying the equipment, I obviously had it with the "armored" cover, a fall from my pocket and the key under the button splintered and the screen cracked on both sides. The fourth is my mother, in the urgency for not being without a phone, she bought the same equipment again, this is the only one intact because I buy her 3 covers (I'm not exaggerating, she carries it with 3 covers everywhere), first she placed the amoled glass, then the armored cover and above it a rubber cover with a lid, it is practically impossible to write comfortably, it is annoying and not at all aesthetic. My summary, the worst team I knew in terms of endurance. Samsung should admit to reimbursing the equipment or minimally exchanging it for the common version, as it does not fulfill the function it is designed for, which is to use it. I chose Samsung again because I had my Note 3 for 3 years without even a scratch, clearly it is not a situation of "bad luck" the team is as we would say in Argentina "OF PAPER". DO NOT BUY IT or buy its common S7 version.
You speak from a POOR point of view. Whether it is worth it or not depends on many factors. I do need a good mobile performance and I prefer to stay with Android than iPhone. I bought the edge 7 on ebay for 499 euros and the truth is that I am super happy
Little friend ... does your family have a coordination problem? Why does everyone drop it? It is a top-of-the-range smartphone, you have to take care of it ...
It breaks from nothing, to carry it in the pocket of the jacket the lid splinters.
What ridiculous reasons ... it is the best smartphone that exists even today ... 11 months after this article was written ... to all the people who dropped it here, who seem to have osteoarthritis in their hands and have a top smartphone range is not reason enough to take care of it, to continue with the Nokia 1100, you could throw it off a fifth floor and nothing happened ... for others, people who want to find a good price / quality ratio, nothing beats Samsung S7 Edge. I've been using it since it arrived in my country ... a little less than 1 year ago, and it is still intact, literally not a single mark has been made anywhere on the phone ... the performance is amazing and meets all my expectations. It's one of the best technology investments I've ever made.
A powerful reason for this junk to stay in the back room of Samsung and they eat it: the glass of the rear camera breaks ONLY, yes, you leave your new and very expensive mobile on the bedside table and when you wake up, you He looks stupid, said glass is smashed, pulverized and Samsung tells you that "what a blow you have given him" and does not take charge. You spend another 100 euros and that's it, but they don't guarantee (of course) that it won't happen again. Does this seem like a good reason?
The same thing happened to me, without knowing how, just a week after buying it, the whole rear part has cracked, it has cracked like a Granada even with a protective cover and everything, with which I am quite sorry for having bought it and I do not recommend it to anyone.
Samsung is the all one par excellence but its camera leaves a lot to be desired in all its models
Samsung are liars because they claim that they are waterproof and they are not, since my daughter out of curiosity submerged him in the pool to take a photo and guess what happened, he got the water and I do not recommend them, when taking him to the technical service I was surprised by samsung that they say they are not responsible for what happened and that it is not true that it is totally waterproof, I should sue them for scammers since they are too cars
I'm super sorry I bought the S7, I sat on a chair slid from my pants pocket a drop of less than 1 m and the entire screen fractured.
Before I had the A3 which was much harder.
