S6 vs S7 camera

That is quite impressive given how good the s6 was.

Overall cleaner and more dynamic range.

And the low light shots show better colours and less noise. Great stuff.

I am looking forward to getting my S7 edge, I ordered a gold one so I hope its nice and not to bling looking, I wanted the silver one but could only find gold or black. It will be replacing my trusty HTC one m8 which I must admit I have really enjoyed for the last 2 years.

I'm quietly hoping Amazon UK hop onboard with the free vr, hoping that the current offerings were launch partner ones and it'll open up a bit.....please Amazon

Just having a look at GS 6 prices, I didn't realise it was so cheap now, about £330

Trying to decide if the GS 7 is worth the extra £200+ now.... I really want the waterproofing of the gs 7 though....

If you haven't seen it in person I highly recommend you do before it arrives. It was way too bling looking for my taste!

I think I probably should see it first then! Do you know if the silver version is available in the UK?

Thanks for your reply.

Do you know if the silver version is available in the UK.

Not officially but I think you can get it from Amazon Germany.

Interesting, thank you. I thought it was odd that I could not see it available anywhere.

It was suggested that the silver will probably turn up as a network exclusive, which is probably true and a real shame.

I'd second that suggestion to take a look at the gold in person, just pop to your local CPW.

Silver is very nice. Had the Note 5 in silver:





Have sold it to fund the S7, will be going for black this time

 

[slick rick]

Thanks guys, I will try and see one in the flesh. The finish on that note 5 is amazing.

You can't unfortunately.

Unboxing in Spanish.

 

[jakspyder]

I super duper want one!

 

[magicroundabout]

No quickcharge 3.0?!!

 

[Mobius 1]

Because of exynos I think. It's not qc 3 compatible.

It'll still be blazingly fast charging regardless. Who needs to fully charge their phone in half an hour or less

 

[kona786]

Pffft! Why wouldn't you want 80% charge in half hr vs 50%. I currently have QC2.0 and its just super convenient.

I hope there's been some misunderstanding. It's unlike Samsung to not have the latest and greatest.

 

[Mobius 1]

Tbh. It'll probably be patched in at a later date. If it can be. I can't believe Samsung leaving it out completely.

 

[mark43]

That sounds like wishful thinking, its not a massive issue but a real shame they've left it out.
