Hey there, hope you all have been having a terrific life so far, shame no one wrote us to find out why we were away so long...you're all mean, and we love you irrespective.
Well, well, well...what have we here? two flagship devices gracing the internet and causing a frenzy (...one more than the other though) all at the same time.
Lets meet the heavy hitters shall we;
Samsung has just announced their new flagship device (...you should see our faces) and it's the Samsung Galaxy S7. Yes, yes before you S6 owners start blowing steam just lets be done here okay. It's been roughly a year since the release of the S6 and Samsung has graced (...after horrendous levels of leaks) us all once again with another major flagship for the year. Whats the difference you ask? well, we are all about getting to the point with our views so here goes what the S7 brings to the table;
- slightly thicker in diameter to contain a bigger battery, 3000mAh over the 2550mAh of the S6, in lay terms, the S7 should have significantly better battery life.
- no camera hump as present on the S6, basically its just about design preference for you.
- ooh! water and dust resistant, swimming, showering, water balloon fights are all welcomed. for a timed duration though. (...took you guys at Samsung long enough to put this feature in a flagship than creating a S7 Aqua or something).
- techy stuff now; faster and more powerful processor (...there's the Snapdragon 820 version and Samsung's own Exynos version), latest Android version Marshmallow 6.0 (...which the S6 might never see, or not), fingerprint scanner and heart rate monitor, supposedly better camera 12MP rare and 5MP front (...lower MP than previous S6 but then again, its not really about MP these days) with better low light capture, wireless charging and quick charging (...plug the S7 in and get about 80% in 30 mins, sweet), microSD support is back, 32/64 GB internal memory options and 4GB RAM (...seriously, Android needs to get their act together on RAM management).
- and its trademark feature, the ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY (...and NO, its not a battery draining feature as this works like E-Ink technology which if you know about that you'll understand it uses extremely negligible power, cool).
That's basically all you...we need to know about the S7. Techy folks can go elsewhere to seek reviews that dissect the phone antennae for all we care. These are the basics and now you know them.
Moving on, Sony has always captivated us with their designs, the top and bottom bezels (...the space above and below the screen) however have left much to be desired in terms of screen to body ratio but yeah, can't be it all now can we.
The new Xperia X series of phones are the next thing for Sony and there is a mid range device here too but we are not talking about that, the flagship is what we are looking at and it bears the name of the entire lineup...Xperia X Performance (...there's the Xperia X, X Performance and XA).
from the hands-on experience gathered, these are the offerings;
- new design aesthetic from previous Xperia phones with curved edge glass and brushed metal back (...edge to edge display is really pleasing but still looks overly a lot like previous Xperia phones, the brushed back helps grip and the curved edge glass for fluidity).
- every other feature is still very similar to the Xperia Z5; water and dust proof, stereo speakers, microSD support, 23MP rear camera, FM radio with RDS and fingerprint scanner.
- the front facing camera however has been bumped up from 5MP to 13MP (...those crazy about selfies will appreciate this).
- other techy details include; 3GB of RAM, 32GB internal storage and a faster Snapdragon 820 processor which means faster CPU (...for multiple app processing) and GPU (...for intensive graphic games).
Our thoughts:
So there you have them, thinking of changing your device (...unless you REALLY know the use of such high end devices), these are on the top list of fresh out the oven devices to keep your productivity going but we must warn, they do cost a pretty penny and knowing the exchange rate of where you might be purchasing from...we'll advice you think long and hard before making such a change.
Both devices are superb and beautiful in every aspect, it all comes down to personal preference. Great Job to Samsung and Sony on these and here's to a successful sellout to both.
