Review: Samsung Galaxy S7 for Verizon Wireless

Hardware Software Wrap Up Comments 11

I recommend the Samsung Galaxy S7 to anyone who can afford it. It's that good. The hardware borders on perfection with its design, materials, and build quality. Toss in extras like waterproofing and that's just icing on the cake. The GS7 has a fantastic screen, provides good voice calls and decent data speeds, and delivers excellent battery life for a handset in this class.

On the software front, TouchWiz is still a bit heavy-handed for my tastes, but the GS7 offers an incredible numbers of tools to personalize the handset. You can make things simple or go for the advanced. The Snapdragon 820 processor provides plenty of power and the phone is lightning quick.

The camera is the Galaxy S7's stand-out feature. It ranks among the best in the market, and offers plenty of flexibility when capturing photos.

The Galaxy S7 is a pricey phone at $670, but it's worth every penny.
