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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality product, I rate this purchase excellent.

Following up on the earlier discussion of the benefits: Image clarity. The brightness slider is really comfortable; even at its lowest setting, the screen is easy on the eyes in the dark, while at its highest setting, you can see every detail on the screen in broad daylight. After a taxi driver from the airport remarked on how bright my phone screen was while we were stopped at a red light, I turned up the brightness to its maximum to show him the photos in all their glory (but may have gone a little overboard, as it turned out). To be fair, it was getting dark outside. In conclusion, this has unquestionably one of the greatest screens of any smartphone now available. Performance. For the simplest test possible, I left as many games and apps running in the background as possible in an effort to crash the phone. Failed. Therefore, no additional loading time was required for any games or applications. Among the many things that have been released are: Browser (63 tabs), Clash of Wits, Tricky, ZigZag, Smash Hit, Brain It On!, Camera, Contacts, Messages, Settings, Calculator, Gallery, Notes, Modern Combat 5, NFS No Limit, Gangstar 4, AC: Pirates, Snapseed, Vkontakte, Instagram, Microsoft Office, Disk, Viber, Kate Mobile, etc. Then I just stopped caring and declared my smartphone the victor. Invulnerable to moisture and dust. Some people take underwater photographs with a Galaxy S7, and others actually wash their phones when they get dirty, so you don't have to worry about accidentally dropping yours in the toilet or getting it wet when using it on the beach. Conclusion: Is it prudent to get this mobile phone? It was money well spent. The drawbacks I've outlined are, of course, entirely subjective and may vary from person to person or, say, from one usage style to another. Yet the benefits, which are emphasized by the entire Internet community and not just me, will outweigh the drawbacks and make this smartphone a no-brainer. I hope you all have a pleasant experience with whatever smartphone you decide to purchase.

Pros
  • Pluses: a high-quality camera with a "PRO" shooting mode, a sharp display, speedy operation, comfortable ergonomics, water- and dust-proof construction, and the option to add more storage with a microSD card (or both) (and someone combines this business with direct hands). In addition to being up-to-date and well-supported (it will be upgraded to Android 7.0 shortly, even if the current version is still in beta) and charging quickly, it also comes with a number of extras. This camera is among the best available right now, and it takes excellent pictures. According to the widely read site "dxomark," the Samsung Galaxy S7's camera is the second best currently available. Up there is only Pixel. When compared to competing smartphones, the superior quality of the images taken in low light stands out. Yes, RAW capture is supported. I should start by saying that the camera takes great pictures even in automated mode, but the RAW format is the clay out of which you can fashion a masterpiece. Why? You don't get a perfect picture already taken, but you do get the option to edit one into something truly special. The advantage of RAW is that it allows for minimum quality degradation during editing. If you compare a processed RAW file to a JPEG file, the difference is clear as day. As a result of its success, you will no longer need to bring a camera with you on your travels. The main camera shoots at 4k at 30 frames per second, the front camera shoots at 2k at 30 frames per second, and the sound records well. The front-facing camera is great for recording videos, but it doesn't always produce crisp, detailed stills. Both can be taken quite well with the main camera. Discussion continues below:)
Cons
  • After two months of use, the screen started showing SCRATCHES, making it look like I scratched it while carrying a smartphone and keys. - Full-screen glass is difficult to come by, which may have contributed to the initial deficit. - Operational time with heavy use of the battery. - Price. There isn't enough juice in my battery to last very long. To be fair, I will admit that I make extensive use of my mobile device: I have 4G or Wi-Fi turned on nearly all of the time, I take videos or photos almost every day, edit them, make calls, play a wide variety of games, read the news, and spend a lot of time on social networks (VK, Instagram), and watch videos online. Headphones are my preferred method of listening to music. 11 hours of use can be obtained from a full charge down to 1 percent. I should mention that the brightness is automatically adjusted; in strong sunlight, it will be set to its maximum, and in a dark environment, it will be set to virtually its minimum. I also use the Always-On-Display feature and Bluetooth to receive real-time updates from my fitness band. Scratches. To be honest, I was taken aback by this. On my aging Samsung S3, I was oblivious to this. Then the much-touted Corning Gorilla Glass 4 surprised me by covering my entire screen in a mosaic of tiny (and not-so-little) scratches. Glass that cost 500 dollars but shattered on the first day of use outperformed a phone screen that cost 50,000 dollars. As the glass still won't stick, I decided to give it a go anyhow. Yet after three minutes of crawling on this glass with various keys, it didn't appear any more scratched than my screen, which I attempted to wear carefully, keeping it away from the keys in one pocket. Believe me when I say that spending a thousand dollars on a screen protector is far preferable to spending ten times that amount to replace the screen on a current flagship.
