\"Samsung<\/a><\/p>\n

The new Galaxy S7 phone and Galaxy S7 Edge <\/a>phone from Samsung might just be the best smartphones ever. That may sound like an exaggeration, but when you discover the many features <\/a>that the S7 phone and S7 Edge offer, you will begin to see just how attractive they are. Anyone in the market for a new smartphone is sure to find something they like. In fact, if you are looking to upgrade, switch from an existing device, or buy your child or spouse a smartphone of their own, you may want to consider this one. Here are five (truly compelling) reasons why:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5 Reasons in Considering the Galaxy S7 Phone<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Waterproofing<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you’ve seen any of the advertising for the new Galaxy S7 phone (Samsung ran a rather humorous spot during the Oscars telecast starring William H. Macy, among other celebrities), then you know the phone is waterproof. Though that may seem fairly trivial, in a day and age when everything from our watches to our jackets are designed to deflect water with ease, it’s fairly revolutionary for the smartphone industry.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Designed to withstand immersion in up to 1.5 meters<\/a> (or approximately five feet) of water for up to 30 minutes, the Galaxy S7 phone can take a coffee being accidentally spilled on it without missing a beat. You don’t have to worry about your son jumping in a pool with the phone in his pocket, or your daughter texting with friends on a rainy day. With older smartphones, such carelessness might result in a broken phone and $500 bill \u2013 not so with the Samsung S7 phone.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Expandable Memory<\/span><\/h3>\n

Music, movies, apps, mobile games, TV shows, and photos (if you’re like most people, this means lots and lots<\/em> of photos) all take up storage space. Increasingly, the solution for this is cloud-based storage. On paper, it’s a great idea; with the cloud, you can access all of your files at once, from anywhere, at any time. Better yet, it allows you to keep your device lean and mean, because the data isn’t stored locally. In practice, however, the cloud can be a burden.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Storing data in the cloud means managing access privileges, remembering user credentials, and having an Internet connection at all times (without the Internet, there is no cloud). Sometimes, it’s better to simply store the files you want on your device. The Samsung Galaxy S7 phone accommodates this with expandable memory. If the phone’s built-in storage isn’t sufficient, you can supplement it with a microSD card<\/a>, providing for up to 200GB of additional storage space.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Wireless Charging\"Samsung<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the coolest features of the new Galaxy S7 phone is its ability to charge wirelessly<\/a>. Using a compatible charging pad, you can simply place your phone down to begin charging it. True, this feature may not completely change your life, but sometimes it’s worth appreciating the small things \u2013 and they do add up! Wireless charging means no more bending down to fetch the charging cable and no more crimped wires. If you’ve always wanted to ditch the cords and wires, here\u2019s your chance!<\/p>\n

 <\/h3>\n

4. Low Light Camera\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

Anyone who uses their camera phone on a regular basis knows that when the lights go out, picture quality diminishes drastically. And smartphones don’t have the most powerful flashes, so you\u2019re often left with few options. The new Samsung S7 aims to correct this with an all-new camera designed and optimized for low light conditions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Combining a more sensitive and powerful double-pixel camera sensor with a new camera lens that physically draws in more light, the Galaxy S7 phone may be the first smartphone to actually take decent photos “in the dark.” Obviously, it won’t work in true dark, but for those group photos at your favorite restaurant, it should work perfectly. Now, your nighttime and interior photos don’t have to look blurry and pixelated.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Usability and Interface<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Galaxy<\/a><\/p>\n

As you may have gathered by now, the new Samsung Galaxy S7 phone is available in two different models: standard and Edge<\/a>. Both offer a Quad-HD display with four times the image resolution of standard high definition; however, the Galaxy S7 Edge has a slightly larger screen (5.5 inches) that wraps over the left and right side of the phone. This unique form factor provides for a wide range of user experience and interface possibilities<\/a> \u2013 you can list contacts along the edge of your screen for ease of access or keep a news feed visible so that you are up to date on the latest events. It’s a clever design and takes the S7 Edge a step beyond the typical smartphone.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Should You Make The Switch?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Whether you’re in the market for a new phone or are considering a switch, you may want to consider the Galaxy S7 phone by Samsung. Even if you’re locked into an existing contract, you may find that the benefits of the phone outweigh any potential switch-over penalty. Carriers like T-Mobile<\/a>, are now making it easier than ever to switch phones (they\u2019ll pay your early termination fees) with their infamous \u201cun-carrier\u201d features. If you purchase the S7 or S7 Edge soon, they are offering a free Netflix subscription for a year. Not a bad incentive, and who doesn\u2019t love Netflix!<\/p>\n
