SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 camera: Comparison with competitors. Main differences Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Difference between Galaxy S7 and EDGE

SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 smartphone is now from 600 dollars. So, for comparison, it is worth taking the same category devices. After all, what's the point of comparing with Xiaomi Mi5 or Meizupro 6? Yes, Chinese will give way, but he is twice as smaller. The main rivals are Apple iPhone 6S, LG G5 and HTC 10, which are selling for similar money. With them and it is worth making a comparison.

So: in comparison with the iPhone 6S, the Samsung Galaxy S7 camera looks more attractive. The Korean can notice a wider dynamic range: the sky does not shine, but transfers with blue notes. The contrast between the background and the foreground is harder. Details on Galaxy S7 seem more obvious, noticeable. When macro shot lens Korean is yellow, but it is the wines of the Sony sensor. Yes, and in detail of Samsung a small advantage.

Galaxy S7 VS. LG G5.

Against the background of the LG G5 - Samsung Galaxy S7 demonstrates more efficient photosensitivity in the dark: parts that are not visible on the "modular flagship", the comparison hero transmits. In macro shot with a flash "Galaxy" less soap, focusing on the details of the main object of shooting, and in the photo background. With sufficient natural light you can see parity.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 played on the hand of Samsung Galaxy S7 with cloudy weather. LG G5 shines the sky, and the hero of the review is no longer. Instead of gray sky background, it transmits clouds in detail. True, the small details of the near objects suffer from this (for example, leaves). In terms of color reinforcement, Samsung is also leading: it demonstrates more natural shades, compared with LG G5.

Galaxy S7 VS. HTC 10.

In comparison with HTC 10, the difference in night shooting is particularly noticeable. Samsung Galaxy S7 in the dark breaks the opponent, showing advantages in detail, color reproduction and noise with artifacts. In the daylight, the camera also demonstrates more lively colors, good details and clarity. The opponent "fines" the opponent is a common photo with an average level of lighting: HTC can also be seen in cold tones, more noise, and "plastic" shades of the main plan.

Analyzing Samsung S7, a comparison of cameras with competitors, one can state: it is better. With someone (for example, iPhone 6S), the advantage is insignificant, and it may seem unprofessional. But with someone (as with HTC 10) there is a full advance: in any mode, the opponent could not show advantages. Thus, Samsung Galaxy S7 camera is, indeed, one of the best for smartphones 2016.

Comparison of sizes Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 + with other top flags

You probably have already read a bunch of Samsung Galaxy S8 reviews and know about the smartphone literally everything. but than samsung galaxy s8 is different from samsung galaxy s7 edge? Is it worth spending 50 thousand rubles to the new flagship or stop on the old one, saving a bunch of money. Now I'll tell you about everything.

Why do I compare the novelty from Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE?

First, Galaxy S7, though the top gadget, but against the background of his curved fellow, it looks lethargically. The question of taste, of course, but the "Eja" has a chip - a curved screen. And it displays the device to another technical level.

Secondly, it is S7 EDGE and the usual S8 are more or less close in size. The plus version is completely healthy and it is logical to compare it with some Note. But there is no actual device from this line now.

However, what is differences Samsung Galaxy S8 from Galaxy S7 EDGE? About this in today's review.

Ease of use

I say immediately - there is no unequivocal leader. Each smartphone has pros and cons. Let any for himself decide that it is more important for him, and I will now list all the nuances of using both devices.

Do you care or sewn?

SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 EDGE - Wide smartphone and this is a double-edge stick. On the one hand, "EJ" does not suit everyone, you need a wide enough palm to comfortably hold the apparatus in your hand.

On his background SAMSUNG GALAXY S8. - model from the category fitness. He is narrow and lifted in any hand. Perhaps even fans of compact iPhone 7 with its 4.7-inches will appreciate the most excellent ergonomics.

However, the wide EDGE has one important advantage. In the standard keyboard, I type the text almost without errors. The "Eja" display is wider, the virtual buttons are greater, so they are easier to fall on them.

Follow the symbols on the S8 for me by the day hell!

S8 has little that the display is already, so also rounded edges cut off part of the useful area. As a result, the text set is real torment. By the way, with a keyboard from Google, I had a number of errors, but the quality of the set still left much to be desired. You need to get used. Long.

To view movies, the eight is much more suitable. All Hollywood films are displayed almost without black bands from above and below. And if you press the scaling button, the player stretches the picture and on the rounded corners, including. Full delight!

Against this background, the S7 Edge looks like an old "ruby" next to the plasma (S8).

Random clicks on the S7 Edge screen just kill me. And if you are lying with the phone in bed, then it is simply impossible to use it normal.

S8 has no such problems. No random pressures in any position. But why?

First, it's not so much a screen.

Secondly, there are some software algorithms that can cut off random clicks.

Well, the last difference. SG S7 EDGE even in 2017 looks very cheerful. Beautiful, curved and expensive design. And SG S8 looks even steeper! On his background, all the smartphones existing on the market are some pattephones, hopeless for 3-4 years.

Housing

S7 Edge side faces are sharp, slightly dug into the palm. The S8 side carefully rounded, therefore the feelings are more pleasant. We write in plus.

In the novelty, the rear camera is almost not protruding. It is good because the ending the lens will not break out. Although this is a controversial question, you need to give time.

The eight is perceived by the thinner of his last year's competitor. And this is despite the fact that in fact thinner S7 edge - 0.7 mm!

	Length	Width	Thickness	Weight
SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 (5.8 '')	148,9	68,1
SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 + (6.2 '')	159,5	73,4
SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 EDGE (5.5 '')	150,9	72,6
iPhone 7 (4.7 '')	138,3	67,1
iPhone 7 Plus (5.5 '')	158,2	77,9

Everyone swears the location of the print scanner in the novelty. And correctly do.

At first I thought I was accustomed to, but after three days of use, I realized that there was no. You have to turn the smartphone every time to see where the sensor is located, and only then apply your finger.

Perhaps this is the greatest inconvenience after a set of text on a narrow screen. And to this, and to waiver will be used to. You buy a phone for 55 thousand rubles and be good to get used to it. Like this?

Moreover, I would not call the scanner to the shock and accurate. The finger needs to be applied vertically, in the horizontal position unlock the device is not always possible. At the speed of unlocking here, there is also nothing outstanding. Before the record holder to both generations "Samsung" far.

S8 has a oleophobic coating on all sides. It is very high quality, no questions. But "Eju" was lucky with this only in front. Behind it is weak, the prints are ready here.

"Olefobka" is not only nice, it is also dangerous. Eye S8 is a trifle business. Moreover! If you put the device on an uneven and smooth surface, then he will heal with her to meet the floor. You need to be very careful!

Seven there are no such problems. Its housing is more hooked.

Display

There is a difference and not only in resolution (2960 x 1440 pixels versus 2560 x 1440 or Quad HD + against Quad HD). Colors on the S8 slightly softer, but at the same time with this slightly rich. All this is noticeable only when comparing the forehead in the forehead. Separately both superb panels. Super AMOLED, if that.

If you compare the transmission of individual colors, then S8 has already noticeably overtakes the predecessor. If the white EDGE has a small metal tone, then there is nothing like a young opponent.

S8 has only one nuance - at some angles it is very pink. It is not always noticeable, but the problem still remains and software patches do not yet help. I think it will not help.

Under extreme corners there are practically no inversion. In both devices, a light greenish tint appears ("Thank you" amoled`U), the seven is expressed by a little stronger. Nevertheless, this is not the crime that was before.

Pentile None in any device. Samsung got rid of him in his displays during the S6 times, so those who fear ghosts from the past can relax.

The EDGE side panel has not changed from the point of view of the functional. All the same we have seen in the seven. It is strange, because manufacturers often want to justify the purchase of a more fresh device with new software chips. But not in this case.

The new processor provides a little more productivity, but so far it has nowhere to apply. The situation, in fact, is very funny. Each year, iron producers increase the performance bar, and we do not see normal, cool games.

There is a world of tanks blitz, a port in the face of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, a pair of 3D-shooters, but there is no qualitative jerk. As much as 20 computing nuclei in the MALI-T71 graphically, it is simply nowhere to apply.

The thing is cool and works quite well, but you need a good lighting and a number of extra televitations. That is, if the phone lies on the table away from you, you need to bring and shove your physiognomy every time in the field of view of the sensor, while even after clicking on some button to highlight the screen. But why we need so much extra movements, when in the same "egreeh" a dactyloscopic sensor in front - stretched out a finger and ready.

In general, the fruit scanner on the front side is convenient, aesthetic, harmoniously and does not complete the figure. No need to invent anything.

Equipment of smartphones

Performance

It seems to be two crazy flagships on the hands, but I would not say that the animation of the interface is always running reactive.

We put the maximum resolution for everyone and get barely noticeable, but still those present are lagows. How can this be in the phone for 55,000 rubles? How?!

S7 EDGE on the last Android 7 is peeled in general. Every time after unlocking, I wondered him from the bed not in time, but I forgot to wake. Well, sorry! Animation slows down, lists scroll with frieze. In general, no matter it.

Want an ideal smoothness? I recommend to translate the resolution for S7 EDGE in FHD, and for S8 to reduce to FHD + (2220 x 1080). Believe me, the maximum values \u200b\u200bin ordinary life are not needed at all (only for VR). The picture and so looks perfect. In addition, energy consumption is reduced by at least one-fifth, and this, believe me, is critical for both of our devices.

In order to check the game performance, launched all the favorite "tanks". There is practically no pericactics of drawings on the new galaxy. It is usually 58-60 FPS, but occasionally the frequency dropped to 54, not lower. S7 edge such power will not boast anymore. In active scenes, the frequency sends to 31-34 fps, but usually spinning around 50 frames per second.

The situation in the benchmarks is Next (on the left of the predecessor, on the right of the young and arrogant stroke "ES-Eight"):

By the way, depending on the permission, the indicators "Benche" are different. I do not know why, but with HD + resolution, the results are the lowest.

And now "parrots", which my "seven" boasts. Loge in the synthetic on the face.

Main camera

The new generation of flagships receives new sensors. How can it be different?

So, Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 + is completed from behind either the Sony IMX333 matrix or S5K2L2 from System LSI. The predecessor could boast either the Sony IMX260 module or S5K2L1. In my "egreement" was the last option. And now to the point!

Daily shooting

Peered in the photo as he could. As a result, I did not find almost no differences.

Exception - Temperature Colors. S7 EDGE will often take pictures in heat, and S8 makes it colder. Below examples. On the left of the frames taken on the S7 Edge, to the right of the S8 camera from now on and below.

I will not record it in Plus S8, for it is always possible to configure white balance manually on the seven. Go ahead.

Macro

Here I expected to see the deeper and high-quality photo processing from S8: less noise, better detailing and so on. Did not work out.

It seems that I compared two photos from the same camera - no differences.

Bad light

The most interesting thing should begin here. At least I seemed so. Made a few frames, compared them among themselves, froined and ... did not find any differences.

Do you see anything? Me not.

Night

When light is in sufficiency, many smartphones remove well and more or less identical. But the night shooting is a real test for any mobile device. And then the developers had to show all their skills, in order to reduce noises, do not turn a photo into watercolor and so on.

And yes, it happened! Finally I found differences. S8 takes pictures a little more detailed and with fewer noise.

True, the difference is so small that it is possible to notice it, only comparing the cameras directly, with the same plots and conditions of shooting.

By the way, protective windows on both smartphones are glad. And these glare remain ultimately in the photos.

Frankly, I first notice similar on mobile devices.

By the way, we take the archive with all the originals at this link.

Front-camera

Frontalka in S8 really updated: Autofocus appeared and graduated resolution: from 5 to 8 megapixel. This household is presented by the Sony IMX320 matrix or isocell S5K3H1 - depending on the modification. At the same time, the S7 Edge is completed with a 5-megapixel S5K4E6 module.

Of course, all this had a positive effect on the result. Now the pictures have become more detailed, and the rear background got not big, but still blur. Previously, everything was in focus and creativity in such a photo there were not much.

There is a minus - the angle of view from the "eight" decreased noticeably.

Video machine

In terms of video, nothing has changed anything completely. Both smartphones are still removed in the 4K resolution at 30 frames / s and with a high bit rate of 48 Mbps. Example below.

With the Slow Motion mode, nothing interesting has happened. While the market is only two devices that pay in high attention to this moment: (1080p at 120 fps), and, which very seriously slows down everything around - already up to 960 FPS.

SAMSUNG S8 I kindly agreed to give David for a while with YouTube Channel ARSTAYL . Thank you for it!

As a result, the following conclusion has developed.

If there are no problems with money, and you do not need to take a loan to buy a novelty in the face of S8, then it is necessary to take it. There is a whole bunch of all kind of improved trifles, but there are two significant advantages: a unique market and very beautiful design, as well as pumped ergonomics in comparison with the same "Edge". All this is definitely worth overpaying 15 thousand rubles.

If 50 thousand rubles (plus-minus) is for a little expensive, and I still want a top gadget, then you can't score your head. We take Galaxy S7 EDGE and rejoice in life, good of nothing really revolutionary in the novelty (except for design). Waterproofing is, Samsung Pay works for the entire coil, the camera is identical in quality.

If you are not in the samsung camp, then both S7 EDGE, and S8 are two great occasion to join. And no, no one paid for advertising. Just the first smartphone is a chic in 2017 option to get an uncompromising apparatus for relatively small money. And the second is just a top top.

Personally, only two competitor worries me, about which there is little little about which. The first is HTC U11 and that with him this. The smartphone must come to me in the next month, so there is a review. The second apparatus is oneplus 5, which is not yet announced. Suddenly, the legendary Chinese do it turn out to make a monster for bucks 400-500? Then the "Samsung" will have a worthy competitor for less money.

The implementation of the MWC 2016 exhibition was commemmed by the release of many interesting mobile devices, including flagships from the popular South Korean manufacturer: Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE. We will get acquainted with the main differences between the two smartphones and will understand which one is better.

Differences in the features of the housing

The S7 EDGE model is riveted into a wider, but less thick case compared to S7. The housings of both smartphones are made of a metal combination and glass. The list of color variations available to Russian users is limited to black, gold and silver flowers. The weight of S7 EDGE is 157 grams against 152 grams in S7.

Displays of new products

The S7 EDGE model is equipped with a curved display of a diagonal of 5.5 inches. S7 is a 5.1-inch screen without bends.

Permission does not differ: 2560x1440 points. Both displays are manufactured using Super AMOLED technology. Always ON functions are available: only the date, time and other important alerts remain with the locked screen.

Both smartphones are equipped with sensors for fingerprints, and in both variations are available below the displays.

Processor and memory

In most countries, both models come with one of the best Exynos 8990 processors today. In some countries (presumably their list will be limited to China, Japan and states) - with the SnapDragon 820 processor. In terms of performance, both models are practically different from each other.

Both S7 and S7 EDGE have 4 GB of RAM on board. With regard to the volume of the built-in drive, variations with 32, 64 and 128 GB are available to the user selection. At the same time, both models are equipped with slots for interchangeable microSD cards.

Battery and camera

The S7 EDGE battery is 600 mah with a packer than the fellow - 3600 mAh against 3000 mAh. Batteries fixed. Available functions of fast and wireless energy replenishment.

For smartphone cameras No complaints: Innovative double pixel technology allows you to get high-quality snapshots and videos even in not the best light conditions. Autofocus triggers almost instantly. In fact, the camera starts longer (it takes about 0.5 seconds to it) than focuses.

Cameras of both models are equipped with an image stabilization function.

Protection of hull and software features

Smartphones are closed in waterproof enclosures. In accordance with the applications of manufacturers, devices can normally carry half-hour immersion in water to a depth of up to 1 meter. Additionally there is dustproof.

Both models support work with the Gear VR - the innovative headset of virtual reality.

Regarding software, everything is also at the level: smartphones are initially running Android Marshmallow with Touchwiz shell - traditional for Samsung devices.

Prices

The stated value of S7 at the time of sales is $ 670, modifications S7 EDGE - $ 790. Is it worth overpaying for a slightly enlarged curved display and slightly more capacious battery - each decides itself for itself.

Finally, take a look at the delivery set. And here it is worth noting the fact that, but is absolutely the same for Galaxy S7 and S7 EDGE.

Thus, both novelties from Samsung have an impressive functionality, high performance, beautiful design and very high quality. The above information will help make the right choice and buy a smartphone that will be perfect for you!

The new iOS device from Apple, iPhone 7, was officially announced at a recent event, and it naturally caused a conventional stormy discussion that surrounds any device of this company. It turned out to be a smartphone in fact very similar to his predecessor, but not in this essence. We sunbathe from impatience to compare your smartphone with its largest competitor, Samsung Galaxy S7.

We will try to learn the best sides, compare them and draw conclusions about each of the flagship devices.

Galaxy S7 against iPhone 7: Characteristics

Galaxy S7 against iPhone 7: Screen

If you compare the characteristics of both premium devices on paper, then the leader will definitely be samsung galaxy S7.

The South Korean manufacturer equipped his device with excellent 5.1-inch super amoled-screen, which is the best on the market. Apple's solution to leave the display of the same size and with the same resolution as the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S does not promise anything good, even if this time it expanded the color range.

Yes, 4.7-inch Retina HD in iPhone 7 has the support of the 3D touch function, which improves the user experience, but if you spend a little more, then you will receive Galaxy S7 EDGE with a 5.5-inch curved on the sides of the screen.

Galaxy S7 against iPhone 7: Cameras

Only the iPhone 7 Plus received the main chamber with a dual lens, and in the iPhone 7 there is an ordinary 12 megapixel camera. It is 60% faster and by 30% energy efficiently, and also collects more light by 50% than the master camera lens last year's iPhone 6S. The 47-inch model now has optical image stabilization and a new flash with four LEDs.

What concerns Galaxy S7, what else to say? With stunning work in low light conditions, optical stabilization of the picture and a complex manual mode, this flagship has an incredibly good module of the main chamber.

Galaxy S7 against iPhone 7: Processor, Memory and Coloring Case Options

Samsung supplies the Galaxy S7 model with the Exynos 8890 processor and 4 GB of RAM on board. Meanwhile, the iPhone 7 has a four-core chipset A10 Fusion, which, according to statements, is 40% faster than its predecessor. The device is equipped with 2 GB of RAM.

Apple finally got rid of models with 16 GB of user memory. Now in the basic configuration you get 32 \u200b\u200bGB of memory, which the iPhone fans have been waiting for so long. The company also offers 128 GB and 256 GB of permanent memory. The starting option offers 32 GB of memory memory on board, but it also has a slot for memory cards up to 200 GB.

Both smartphones are available in four coloring options. Since Galaxy S7 is covered with glass, any of the available colors has a glossy coating. In the case of iPhone 7, you only get some option that looks like - "Jet Black". By the way, it is polished and anodized aluminum, and not glass.

Galaxy S7 against iPhone 7: Price

The flagship from Apple in the basic modification will cost you 56,990 rubles, while its competitor from the South Korean company costs 50 thousand rubles. The average model of an iPhone with 128 GB of integrated memory is estimated at 65,990 rubles, and the maximum is 74,990 rubles.

conclusions

New flagships from Samsung and Apple as never like each other. They both waterproof, very productive and offer incredibly good cameras.

The key difference, as always was, is the operating system. The latest iOS update is the largest platform existence. Apple has improved the user interface by adding a huge number of new features.

Samsung has worked quite well over the new version of the Touchwiz shell, and Galaxy S7 is now much faster than their predecessors. It is expected that at the end of this year or at the beginning of the next it will be updated before Android Nougat. Most likely, it will be possible to change the design of icons separately from the topic as on Galaxy Note 7.

Unlike the S7, the seventh iPhone is deprived of the standard audio connector, but you still can connect your old headphones, as Apple comes with each smartphone with a special adapter. Also in the box with the device there is lightning-headphones, and in the company's accessories store there appeared Airpods Wireless Headset.

Samsung Galaxy S7, obviously, surpasses its competitor immediately in several areas: this is the screen and cost. They have about both excellent autonomy results and performance.

What did you choose chosen, galaxy s7 or iphone 7?

The owners of the S7 smartphone from the South Korean giant are not worth a hurry to postpone the money on the device's new generation. Although it is indisputable, almost an unbelief display, he produces an incredible impression. But is it solely because of the display to acquire a smartphone for more than 50 thousand rubles? Or maybe it's not only on the screen, but are there any other serious differences between Galaxy S8 from S7? Now let's try to figure it out.

Differences in ergonomics or more convenient - Galaxy S7 or S8?

The appearance of the smartphone has not changed very strongly (and honestly, in modern realities it is very difficult to create any very unique design), but at the same time, Samsung has tried to surprise us with several things in the new flagship S8, and must be recognized in Some extent it happened.

Exclusive display - Path to victory?

Comparing the appearance of two "competitors", naturally, a person makes a choice in favor of S8. Since such a display earlier than Samsung flagships we have not seen. He rushes into the eye and looks really like something unique.

The screen diagonal from 5.1 inches increased (in Galaxy S7), to 5.8 inches (in S8) and 6.2 inches (in S8 Plus).

By the way, remembering S8 Plus, it is worth noting that we have already compared two top devices submitted by the Samsung mobile division in 2017 -.

In order for the display not only to look great, but allowed to work comfortably with him, Samsung made it rounded along the edges, additionally reducing the frame width both in the upper area and lower.

Briefly make the following conclusion - the display is really a strong feature of Galaxy S8. Galaxy S7 on his background looks not so presentable and solid.

Fingerprint Sensor Transfer - Bold Solution

Unlike the Galaxy S7, where the fingerprint scanner was mounted in the home button and was under the screen of the phone, in the Galaxy S8, the South Korean company went to the experiment and placed the fingerprint sensor scanner on the back panel of the smartphone. Yes, such an operation was made in order to increase the display of the flagship, while not much increasing its physical dimensions.

But how much it became more convenient? Big question. Still, most users are accustomed to the "classic" scanner location on the front panel. Yes, and fluttering a finger on a scanner, we can pour the camera to the camera - also nothing good.

From the previous two points, you can make a conclusion ...

Galaxy S7 - Leader in terms of convenience

If the appearance of the device is beautiful, does not mean at all that it will be comfortable to work with it. Still, the wide frame of the s7 predecessor was much more convenient. Since the smartphone could be calm in her hand, being confident that our hand would accidentally affect the display and do not make any action.

In addition, we repeat about the fingerprint scanner. In S7 really he really is a place. Even if the smartphone lies on the surface, we can unlock it. In the S8 scanner on the back of the panel, because of which it must be kept in the hand to unlock. But, for fairness, it is worth noting that in the novelty there is a scanner of the irrigated eye - it will be able to partially compensate for the inconvenience when unlocking the device.

Performance and specifications

It is clear that Galaxy S8, compared with his predecessor, became "faster, above, stronger" - if it were different, Samsung would not understand the company. But is it much? Let's compare the technical characteristics of these models.

Battery and work hours

The battery remained completely unchanged - and there and there its container is 3000 mAh. Of course, it can be assumed that the Galaxy S8 will work longer than S7, due to the more energy efficient processor. But at the same time, in our opinion, the aburred diagonal of the display "Eat" is an advantage.

Ports and connectors

Galaxy S8 has a single change from Samsung S7 - the port for charging and synchronizing the microUSB was replaced with a more high-tech USB Type-C. And of course, it is good that a 3.5 mm connector is not going anywhere for the headphones.

MicroSD memory card support is also available - you can always add "unnecessary" 256 GB.

Camera

In S8, the camera is improved, but improvements will occur at the program level. . Why did not happen technical changes in the 12 megapixel camera? Unclear. Samsung somehow fiercely approached the improvement of the camera. While the same Apple sets double cameras, trying to exceed all its developments, Samsung just make minor improvements. Particular differences and innovations from Galaxy S7 we do not observe.

Performance

A faster processor was installed - despite the fact that "megaherts and nuclei" increased slightly, the main difference in the technical process.

Galaxy S7 - 8 nuclear, 64 bit, performed by 14 NM process.
Galaxy S8 - 8 nuclear, 64 bit, completed at 10 NM process.

It would seem that the difference is small, however, it is precisely the technical process (the size of the transistor on the crystal of the processor) gives a greater increase in performance than the insane extension of the number of cores.

SAMSUNG S8 also allows you to work with the latest mobile communications - gigabit LTE (Cat. 16 against Cat. 9 in Galaxy S7).

Memory - operational and constant

In this case, practically nothing has changed - and that smartphone has 4 gigabytes of RAM (though there will be a version of Galaxy S8 for the Chinese market with 6 gigabytes).

Capacity of the internal drive: Galaxy S8 is represented by a single option with 64 gigabytes of memory. 32 gigabyte version, as it was in S7, no now.

What was added or the Galaxy S8 chips?

In fact, if you compare with Galaxy S7, then, in addition to the above, changes in Galaxy S8 are not so many:

The device is initially running Android 7.0.
Added identification by retina eye.
BIXBY voice assistant -.
The new Samsung Dex docking station and its full support (connecting it to the monitor, you can turn the phone into a full-fledged computer).
The main "chip" - was transferred to the inscription Samsung on the front side, on the back cover. It would seem whether yes and only, but many users annoyed.
Price. At the "Start" sales, it has become much higher.

Outcome or what to choose?

If you use S7, and the huge screen does not attract you, I do not recommend buying a new product - you will not see anything that could cost fifty thousand rubles. Of course, modernization occurred, which made S8 somewhat better than its predecessor. The main "Konk" of the novelties - the display, but not everyone is ready to give big money for him.

If you are still in thought on Togo, buy S8 or S7, here's a couple of tips:

Wishing to save, we will recommend to take the predecessor, because its price will fall after the release of the novelty to 30 thousand rubles at least. While S8 in the first months after the start of sales will cost at least 55 thousand rubles. In terms of "Price - Quality" S7 unconditional leader.
For those who want everything and immediately - you can safely take Galaxy S8. It is this smartphone at the moment - as much as possible both in the aesthetic and technological plane.
