Review on Renewed Samsung Galaxy S7 G930A Unlocked AT&T GSM 32GB Smartphone - Black by Yusri Mohd ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The quality was generally satisfied, there were minor shortcomings.

I bought a phone to replace the iPhone 5, which suddenly refused to work, which faithfully served for almost four years, having endured everything during this time, from ordinary asphalt to the salty sands of the Karakum. Without having any additional protection, he practically did not lose his appearance. What can not be said about the Galaxy S7. He received the first scratch on the glass of the screen, it is still not clear how, in the first month of pocket operation. The scratch is deep, I really don't like it, but I'm already used to it. After the incident, it was decided to buy protection. The choice fell on the branded Clear view cover. He even saved the phone from a fall with almost no damage. But at the same time, it in itself is a source of very deep, albeit small, scratches along the edge of the glass. The home button and flash glass seem to be scratched by fine-grained sandpaper. All in all, after three months of much more careful use, the S7 looks worse than the iPhone 5 at the end of its life. The attractiveness of the phone, unfortunately, has been lost. Given the cost of the device and the experience gained, I strongly do not recommend the phone for purchase, especially for those who are not going to "jump" around it. The price-quality ratio is very poor. In conclusion, I will add that I also own a Lumia 640 phone, its cost is five times less. In a year and a half of extremely careless use, not a single serious scratch or crack, only a few subtle scratches. And one more thing, I decided to buy Galaxy S7 after demonstrating its "capabilities" in one of the stores. The exhibition sample was thrown with glass on the floor, drowned in water, cut with a knife. There was no damage. It turns out that the samples shown in the salons differ significantly from the real devices, thereby misleading the buyer.

Pros
  • Device quality, appearance, performance, connection quality. Yes, everything is fine, if not for the cons.
Cons
  • 1. Very noticeable distortion of the main camera. If there are no parallel lines in the picture, then it looks just fine. I must say that the camera is excellent. Fast and high quality. Great night shots. The camera pleases until barrel-shaped parallel lines appear in the picture. The software distortion correction function does not work. 2. At one point, the phone stopped seeing the memory card. Contacting the technical support service did not bring the desired result. They expressed symbolic "regret" and recommended formatting the memory card, but it is better to use only branded memory cards, and they are very expensive. The problem turned out to be the following: at some point in time, the phone stops recognizing an encrypted memory card, including a branded one. At the same time, he sees any other without any problems until you encrypt it. Apparently a software bug. The solution was found independently. 3. Stupid technical support.
