**** The Official Samsung Galaxy S7/Edge Thread ****

[Jabbs]

You can turn the always on display off if you want anyway.

My 2 spigen covers just arrived I got off the rainforest place for £2.99 each .
Got 2 S7 and S7 edge as I didn't know at the time the model I wanted, but went for S7 Edge.

Does anyone know the video support? 1080/60p? 4k?

Also can you haggle with EE or CPW when taking out a new line? I am currently on sim only plan.

 

[BananaDunka]

The sensor supports 4K, so yeah. 1080P 60fps is a given. Perhaps 120fps but I doubt it.

3 Store here have the S7 models in store now so I'm gonna go over at lunch and have a play.

Yes 1080p60 and 4K are supported. And 720p 240 slo-mo I presume.

Thanks guys for the video support information. I currently have a G4 and for video it isn't very good. It constantly hunts for focus and doesn't do 1080/60p.

The dual pixel AF in the S7 seems a step up for shooting video along with snapping the family when without the DSLR.

I have just ordered my Samsung S7 Edge from Samsung direct. Have had to email them to confirm I am getting the free Gear VR as there was no ******* mention of it when ordering. *looks skyward*

QUESTION: what is the fastest/best memory to order for the internal upgrade?

I'll be maxing the capacity out with this puppy!

 

[ttaskmaster]

I don't know anything about modern phones, but I was considering this - Could you quite easily stream a PC game to the phone and play it in VR with this Gear thing, or would it just be awful?

Wow the new wireless charging stand is £80... http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/official-samsung-wireless-adaptive-fast-charging-stand-black-p57973.htm

What's so different to the existing fast charging "base" other than the new one being a standing type?

That's a joke of a price. Amazon were doing the fast charge pads for £20 the other day.

How much are these?

 

[Chris344]

How much are these?

And where is the best place to get one?

 

[kona786]

I got mine from a competitor on a lightning sale.

Currently under £90

Base is the same as my one for the Note 5 which is £45 to £60 cheaper then that.

£85 on the Rain forest

I've got the Samsung Memory 128 GB EVO Plus MicroSDXC UHS-I Grade 1 Class 10 Memory Card which I got for £40 from the above

 

[Chris344]

Thanks guys.

Can music be stored on the cards?

 

[Mobius 1]

Yeah. It can.

Not sure if posted, looks awesome.

Damn this display is amazing, much brighter then the Note 5 (855 cd/m2 which is overkill), special screen brightness that makes its adapt much better, can be used with polarized sunglasses, Adobe RGB on a phone, super dim mode (2 cd/m2).

Finally an OEM has included smart auto brightness. Been using the below app that does the same thing.

The new peak OLED brightness is very impressive indeed. 800+nits (thoughs that probably with 1% Full Screen White)

Nice. One will go into the Note 6 when it arrives.

 

[kona786]

The new 2.5D Glass coupled with the Edge does look rather sleek.

Man I'd pay another £20 just to remove the Samsung logo! Lucky Koreans!

Where are people playing with the devices? Phone shops?

Carphone Warehouse had em in!
