Review on Renewed Samsung Galaxy S7 in Gold - 32GB and Locked to Verizon Wireless by Li Kai ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm satisfied with it, there are only some small flaws.

The phone was purchased in the summer of 2022, at that time it was one of the best phones on the market, which in many ways surpassed its competitor - the iPhone 6s, but at the same time it was cheaper. In general, for 2 years of use, I was satisfied with it, I probably would even take it again if they were sold. To the controversial points, I would include the microUSB connector and the sound quality both in the headphones and from the speaker, here for an amateur. Perhaps this is one of the last representatives of the flagships with a relatively compact 5.1" screen with a 16/9 ratio and a screen with frames, which is much more convenient to use than frameless ones. Is everything as cool after 2 months as you would like? Definitely yes, the phone has not turned into a pumpkin that is impossible to use, and not even against the backdrop of recently released flagships. Is it worth taking in 2022? Even though it's one of the best options for $20K, it's better to look at newer models that will still receive ates.

Pros
  • Very good camera, in auto mode you can shoot better than on a DSLR; one of the best screens at the time of release, and even now you will not find this everywhere; support for fast and wireless charging; Samsung Pay with NFC + MST (some Chinese still do not put NFC even in flagships); support for two SIM or SIM + microSD; water protection IP68; I personally really like the design.
Cons
  • A few fly in the ointment could not have done without a few fly in the ointment: the quality of communication is completely unsatisfactory. Abroad, it also happened that the iPhone 4 and the old Samsung were caught in full, but he had no connection (Sim card of one operator, the point is in the crooked modem). Shooting video in low light leaves much to be desired, the video image becomes soapy. Well, the battery life from the very beginning showed itself not from the best side, and over time it became even worse, with active use you have to recharge during the day.
