I am glad once again to welcome you to the pages of our wonderful. I repeatedly wrote that it was the OFFtop section that I liked the most. In it, I can scold Apple for a number of its shortcomings, which have become especially numerous recently. Sometimes I even offer to buy some interesting smartphone that will turn out to be a great alternative to the iPhone. In general, the scope for action is simply limitless.

But in this case, I will offer you a replacement not for the iPhone, but for its most popular alternative. The fact is that Samsung has made really interesting flagship devices this year - the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. Both devices turned out to be so cool that many Apple fans have already managed to replace their iPhones with them. But they are quite expensive. Therefore, today we will look at something cheaper.

Well, in this topic we will look at the Samsung Galaxy J7. Despite the fact that the device resembles the same flagship. But it does this only from afar, which will only be satisfied by far from the most sophisticated user. Nevertheless, the cost of the device in this case is appropriate. But for the same money, you can take some interesting Chinese analogue - it's up to you to decide.

Samsung Galaxy J7 - screen

(Samsung Galaxy J7 screen)


Sometime during the presentation of the iPhone 4, we were told that a screen density of 300 PPI is enough for the human eye. Apple called it Retina and began to install such displays in all their devices. Albeit not without nuances, but this statement remains relevant today, when we are all waiting for the iPhone 7.

In this case, we have a 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 720x1280 pixels. It gives it a density of 267 PPI. As you can see, very little. Therefore, to consider individual points on the screen in this case will not be any work at all - in general. And this can hardly be called a very positive fact.

Moreover, in this case, Super AMOLED technology is used, which I myself frankly hate. It gives unrealistic colors, and coupled with low resolution - crazy ladders. In general, a terrible horror.

And if we think about virtual reality, it is better to immediately realize that it will not be available for devices of this price range for a very long time.

(Specifications Samsung Galaxy J7)


The heart of the device is far from the most productive Samsung Exynos 7 Octa processor today. By and large, it will be enough for the normal operation of the smartphone in some ordinary tasks, but no more than that.

The amount of RAM is at the level of 2 GB. And for the normal operation of Android, this is also very little. File storage is 16 GB, expandable via microSD memory cards.

Far from the most powerful device is equipped with a 3300 mAh battery. Most likely, it will be enough for the device to work for a couple of days.

Samsung Galaxy J7 - cameras


(Samsung Galaxy J7 cameras)


The main camera of the device has a resolution of 13 MP. Despite the rather large figure, it takes very mediocre pictures. And this once again proves that the main thing is not resolution, but completely different characteristics of the module.

The auxiliary camera of the device has a resolution of 5 MP. Good selfie she is unlikely to boast. But for ordinary needs it will do.

Of course, we are not talking about any metal in this case. And this is very frustrating. On the sides of the smartphone is a pseudo-metal frame, which feels like that. The front and back panels are made of mediocre quality plastic.

The smartphone has only three colors - pink, white and gold.

151.7 x 76 x 7.8 mm are the dimensions. 169 grams is the weight.

Samsung Galaxy J7 - additional features


(Additional Features of Samsung Galaxy J7)


No fingerprint sensors or anything like that - we have a device that is too cheap. At least for Koreans.

The device is sold for almost 20,000 rubles. And this is not the smallest price for such a device. Moreover, for it you can take a whole scattering of much more interesting devices that will differ in a normal set of technical characteristics and a metal case.

And using this device as an example, I wanted to prove once again that a relatively low price segment is not the lot of Samsung or Apple. At least if we are talking about the primary.

A look at will make you grin: if in 2015 it was ahead of it, then with the release of the seventh generation of devices in the Galaxy line, the situation has changed to the opposite.

Despite a larger screen size, a useful set of edge display features and a larger battery, the Galaxy S7 Edge lost out to its "slim" and more affordable counterpart - the Galaxy S7 (recommended retail price in Russia - 49,990 rubles).

There is absolutely nothing to say about its predecessor: Galaxy S6 is generally estimated to be three percentage points behind the new Galaxy S7. Why Samsung's new top model is currently out of competition (almost) is explained in our test report.

Hooray! Galaxy S7 memory is now expandable

With the return of the memory card slot, Samsung has answered all the critics who condemned the S6: now with the help of a microSD card, you can increase the disk space of the Galaxy S7 by an additional 200 GB. Built-in storage capacity is 32 or 64 GB - options with a different amount of built-in memory is not provided. Moreover, the latter option will not be available in all countries. We are not very sad about this fact, but this version is more convenient to use in Dual-SIM mode, when the memory card slot is occupied by a second SIM card.

Smartphones Galaxy S7 Edge and Galaxy S7 received a slot for memory cards

Samsung is making the Galaxy S7 waterproof

While the Galaxy S5, despite the removable battery, was protected from dust and moisture in accordance with the requirements of the IP65 standard, the Galaxy S6 did not have such protection. The new Galaxy S7 is "sealed" according to IP68 directives. Therefore, now the smartphone is not afraid of long-term immersion in water, dust and sand will not penetrate inside the S7 either. In a conversation with Samsung, we found that dust and moisture resistance, along with the need to ensure compatibility with the Gear VR headset, played a key role in deciding against the introduction of a USB Type-C connector. This type of USB connector has not yet been designed to be water resistant.


Samsung Galaxy S7: now waterproof with IP68 certification

Galaxy S7 feels good to hold

When it comes to performance, the Samsung Galaxy S7 is even more advanced than its predecessor. We especially like the noble black mirrored back surface of the tested device - at least until numerous fingerprints spoil its appearance. Pleasant tactile sensations are facilitated by a slight roundness of the case, which was first implemented in this design in Note 5. The aluminum frame also adds a sense of high cost. The Home button can be subjected to minimal criticism - it is relatively difficult to press it.


Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge smartphones are comfortable to hold

No smartphone takes better photos than the S7

At the time of the test, the Galaxy S7 set a new record - so it is now a benchmark for other smartphones in it. Although the resolution is only 12 megapixels, compared to the Galaxy S6, the image quality has improved significantly.


The main camera of the Galaxy S7 is built on the basis of a new matrix

Samsung claims that the pixel size of the matrix has increased from 1.12 microns to 1.4 microns. Together with the wider f/1.7 aperture, this allows each sensor element to capture more light. Result: laboratory photos taken in poor lighting, we were amazed - the pictures turned out to be clear and almost noise-free. Daytime results are subjectively better than the S7 Edge, as vignetting is less pronounced and the edges of the test photo look much sharper.

Autofocus is stunning with its speed of operation even after prolonged use of the device. Here, Samsung has adapted the Dual-Pixel technology known from Canon products and uses two independent photodiodes per pixel. In fact, in terms of camera capabilities, we lack only the front LED flash, and the “screen” backlight that replaces it is also quite suitable for taking good pictures.

Nothing has changed in terms of video shooting (4K mode is available), and the front camera still has a resolution of 5 megapixels. For especially creative "mobile" photographers, various modes are provided, including professional for fine-tuning. There was, for example, even such a mode as "Food". Slow motion shooting can be done at up to 240 frames per second.

Samsung Galaxy S7: The processor draws its power from eight cores.

The power of Exynos - full speed ahead!

The latest generation of Samsung processors has significantly contributed to the next record in. In a special Burst mode, the maximum clock frequency is 2.6 GHz. In normal operation, the eight-core processor handles its work at a clock speed of 2.3 GHz - and does it extremely quickly. We did not notice any jerks or delays when launching applications during the entire time of the test. The pre-installed Android 6.0.1 operating system is in harmony with the redesigned TouchWiz user interface and 4 GB of RAM.

In order to prevent the smartphone case from melting at such a high power, Samsung keeps heat generation under control using a liquid cooling system. During testing under full load, the smartphone certainly got warm, but not so much that it was uncomfortably hot.

A capacious battery and solid acoustics ensure the pleasure of the phone

The Achilles' heel of the S7 could only be the battery. But the new Galaxy stands up to our test in this category quite well. The Galaxy S7's built-in 3000 mAh battery is enough to last almost 9 hours of phone calls and 9.25 hours of web surfing. Thanks to QuickCharge 2.0 technology, the battery is fully charged in just 1.75 hours.

We see a small potential for improvement in telephone acoustics: despite the acceptable volume and intelligibility, the sound could still be better. Separate syllables sometimes sound with a slight noise, the line does not always remain "transparent as glass."

Samsung Galaxy S7: alternative

What other smartphone can appeal to someone who is interested in the Galaxy S7? Most likely, only the predecessor - . In the smallest version with 32 GB of internal memory, the S6 costs only about 35,000 rubles. As already mentioned, it has neither a microSD slot nor an IP certificate. However, in terms of speed, the S6 is still better than many newer competitors. The 16-megapixel camera takes excellent pictures, and the predecessor's battery also makes a good impression.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 is one of the most anticipated smartphones in the first half of 2016 with a lot of useful features and . But not only Samsung regularly pleases users with interesting innovations and developments. Hence the question: is it worth buying the Galaxy S7 or is there something better? Due to the fact that for each buyer the concept of “better” is individual, we will not criticize any devices, but will only consider worthy alternatives to the new flagship from Samsung.

iPhone

The closest competitors to the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge smartphones are the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, respectively. In terms of functionality and performance, the devices are not inferior to each other - everything is at the highest level, in accordance with current trends and user requests. We will not dwell on design - this is a personal matter for everyone.

Let's go over the significant differences.

Firstly, representatives of the seventh line of Galaxy have acquired a slot for microSD flash cards, while the amount of internal memory of the basic version is 32 GB. "Apple" gadgets do not support interchangeable cards and limit the choice of the buyer to several standard solutions. The principle is simple: if you want more memory, you pay more. In this regard, the smartphone from Samsung definitely wins.

The camera deserves no less attention - in Galaxy it works much better and better than in "apples". Plus, such a most useful option as moisture protection definitely adds points to the Galaxy S7 piggy bank!

Along with this, in accordance with the results of testing, all other things being equal, the iPhone lasts longer on a single battery charge than the new Galaxy. But is it worth overpaying for an extra hour and a half of battery life? You decide.

About younger brothers

They still keep their brand and do not lose their relevance, for which they deserve special attention. The key differences between S6 and S7 are as follows:

  • S6 does not support flash cards;
  • sevens have an Always On function - in standby mode, the phone screen turns off to save energy, while the status bar in the Edge modification can be made always active;
  • the seventh series is equipped with high-quality moisture protection;
  • S7 smartphones run the latest Android out of the box;
  • in the seven, the camera was radically redesigned, which made it possible to increase the focusing speed, improve color reproduction and detail, and also get many other advantages;
  • batteries of the seventh series have a higher capacity;
  • "sevens" are characterized by much better ergonomics.

Along with this, the Galaxy S6 can be bought without any problems for 30-50% cheaper than the S7. What to choose - everyone decides for himself. these two devices!

For lovers of the unusual

There is a class of buyers whose representatives do not experience special financial difficulties and want, at the same time, to stand out from other users. We can offer such citizens to pay attention to the Blackberry PRIV model: the slider is traditionally equipped with a QWERTY keyboard, a high-quality AMOLED display with curved edges, as well as many interesting features.

Disadvantages: high cost, lack of official sales and warranty service.

Other alternatives

Among other devices, the declared technical characteristics of which allow us to classify them among the competitors of the Samsung Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge, for example, the following models can be noted:

  • Nexus 6P;
  • VivoXPlay5;
  • Meizu Pro5;
  • Sony X Performance.

Thus, if you wish, you can either choose a worthy alternative to the Samsung Galaxy S7 or give preference to the flagship from the South Korean manufacturer - the final decision is always yours!

P.S. In our opinion, Samsung S7 is still the best and uncompromising solution in 2016. Leave a like if you agree with us!

At the beginning of this year, the new Samsung Galaxy S7 was released, which immediately fell in love with a multi-million army of brand fans around the world.
Operating experience has shown that the Galaxy S7 replicas were quite successful, but, unfortunately, they are now discontinued. We invite you to familiarize yourself with other current models:

Compared to its predecessors, the gadget received not only a more powerful technical characteristic, but also has a more attractive appearance.

Alas, the price of the flagship was not affordable for everyone. Fortunately, there is a unique opportunity to purchase an exact clone of an advanced device, costing at least five times less.

The Korean and Chinese copy, although not by much, is still inferior to the original, nevertheless, it deserves your attention. You will understand this by reading the Samsung Galaxy S7 copy review.

Not everyone can buy the original model. If you want to save a lot, do not miss the opportunity to become the proud owner of a wonderful gadget.

Let it even be a copy of a smartphone, because its quality is on top!

Why is a copy interesting?

First of all, it should be noted that the Chinese or Korean copy of the Galaxy S7 looks completely identical to the original model. It is impossible to find differences with the naked eye, the smartphone is an exact copy!

Secondly, all copies can boast of high-performance stuffing. These smartphones are running a modern version of the Android OS. This means that you can run any modern application or game without any problems.

Thirdly, you can buy a gadget clone at a price that is several times less than the original.

Key Features

A copy of the Galaxy S7, without exaggeration, can be called the most unique smartphone from a Chinese manufacturer or a Korean manufacturer. Judge for yourself.

  1. The clone works on a 4-core MTK processor.
  2. The graphics chipset and clock speed ensure that applications run as fast as possible.
  3. Outwardly, the copy is indistinguishable from the original - the exact parameters, full compliance with the color scheme, the absence of any bevels, gaps.
  4. Exact as the original model, the dimensions are 70.5 × 143.4 × 6.8 mm and weighs 140 grams.
  5. The smartphone features excellent sound quality, a camera with excellent color reproduction, a bright picture, new systems and various updates that an experienced user needs so much.

Choosing the right model

It is noteworthy that you can buy both a copy of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, which has rounded edges, and a copy of the standard SGS7.

You just have to make a choice. To make it easier to do, I suggest watching a video review of a copy of the smartphone.

Without exaggeration, it can be argued that such devices fully meet the advanced quality standards. The products of Chinese and Korean manufacturers are guaranteed.

A copy of the Samsung Galaxy S7 is a great opportunity for you to get this amazing modern smartphone, while saving significantly.

Moreover, you become the owner of a 100% copy of an advanced gadget.

Why is the copy price so much lower?

The Chinese and Korean models have some differences, which are reflected in lower prices compared to the original model.

They can be attributed to shortcomings, but I would not call them obvious. Let's consider them.

The speed of the device is slightly lower, because unlike the original, where the RAM has 4 GB, here we have 2 GB.

Much lower screen resolution and brightness.

In analogues, glass is replaced by plastic, while the body of the best smartphone is made of glass and metal.

In some cases, fakes differ in sacristies in size and parameters.

But the technical characteristics of the clones are quite powerful, so that the advantages far exceed the minor disadvantages, as evidenced by the numerous positive reviews of those who have already managed to evaluate a copy of the Galaxy S7 in practice.

In our store you can buy a Taiwanese replica Samsung Galaxy S7 at the lowest price in Russia. We have been cooperating with the best manufacturers for many years, thanks to which we can guarantee the quality of all products.

Each copy of the Samsung Galaxy S7 from Taiwan has a number of advantages compared to Chinese counterparts. The main ones are:

  • The use of better materials, and most of the installed modules are the same as in the original flagships of the South Korean brand. All this ensures a long service life.
  • An optimized platform that has the correct translation of files and applications of all nesting levels. This applies not only to Russian and English, but also to other languages.
  • Precise assembly ensure comfortable use. Outwardly, they are indistinguishable from the original, and in terms of performance they are often not only not inferior, but also superior, thanks to the installation of high-frequency multi-core processors.

The price of Taiwanese devices is slightly higher than analogues from China. This is primarily due to the higher cost, since the parts are purchased directly from the manufacturer in South Korea.

How to choose a Taiwanese copy of the Samsung Galaxy S7

Before buying any electronics, and there are more analogues of gadgets of well-known brands, you should carefully study all the available offers and choose the best option, taking into account the design, specifications and price category.

Considering the parameters of each available model, it is worth paying attention, first of all, to:

  • Number of cores and clock frequency of the processor. The higher these indicators, the more productive it is, and the device, in turn, supports more new games and applications.
  • The presence of a built-in 3D accelerator, the main task of which is to work with graphic data, such as games and high-quality videos.
  • The amount of RAM, referred to as RAM. Each running program, including the operating system, consumes a certain amount of memory of this type to ensure the correct operation of processes.
