Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Review

Score: 75.8 / 100

Samsung Galaxy S7 Active is an impressive phone launched many years ago, equipped with a very fast 2.15 gigahertz Quad-Core processing unit, a quite big 5.1" screen, and 2 cameras, a 12 MP back camera and a 5 MP front-facing camera.

Regarding its construction materials, this phone is mainly manufactured with Plastic . Samsung didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 6.53 oz cellphone. This phone is offerred in 3 colors, camo green, sandy gold and titanium gray. This phone has a wonderful design, with a thickness of just 0.39". This cellphone is quite a compact phone, taking into consideration it packs a 5.1" display and it is just 5.86" long and 2.95 inches wide.

The S7 Active is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 MSM8996 system chip, including a great Quad-Core processing unit speeding at 2150 megahertz with a large 4 GB of RAM memory. A good point of the S7 Active is the 32 GB big internal storage memory and an SD card slot, which allows you to store hundreds of applications and even the heaviest games currently available without thinking about filling it.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 Active has a incredible 5.1" display with a 1440 x 2560 (Quad HD / 2K) resolution, which makes everything look beautiful and brightful.

This cellphone features wifi connectivity (but it can't share it with other devices around, acting as a hotspot) and fast 3G data connection, over HSPA technologies. The Samsung Galaxy S7 Active uses a Nano SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

This phone has two cameras, a 12 megapixels back side camera and a 5 megapixels front-facing camera. It also shoots videos in 4K 3840x2160 at 30 frames per second, and slow motion videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 60 fps (2 times slower than regular videos).

The S7 Active counts with a 4000 mAh amazing non-replaceable battery providing this cellphone a great battery duration. An issue to evaluate is that the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active's battery isn't replaceable so you can't change it when it starts losing capacity, while with such a great capacity you will probably discard this phone before it becomes an issue.

This cellphone also includes a lot of interesting characteristics such as Fingerprint ID, Wireless charging system, NFC, Bluetooth (4.2 ) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

This device is being sold for about $ 247, which is quite a high price for a device this level. No matter if you need a device to play lots of games, need it for work, you love taking pictures or want this device mostly for internet broswing and social networks, this device is probably the correct option for you.
