With the release of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge this week, it took only a couple of days for the world to get a look at how much damage the new smartphones can take beyond scratching. SquareTrade, a smartphone insurance company, took the brand-new Galaxy S7 phones and tested their water resistance and durability against falling, tumbling and bending. The S7 phones fared much better underwater than the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus and SquareTrade says they're the most water-resistant phone it has tested. As far as the S7’s glass front and back are concerned, the corners and back reportedly break easily. After a run inside a device known as the TumbleBot, the S7 and S7 Edge had significant damage on the back and corners, with minor scratches on the screen.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is set to launch on August 23rd. It's always exciting to see what the likes of Samsung, Apple and Sony will come up with next to entice tech fans in to buying their latest and greatest flagship smartphones. But if you want to save a little money, now is also a great time to get deals on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S7 Edge. No one knows for sure how much the Note 8 will cost - but it's sure to come at a steep price.
Samsung delighted their fans by making the Galaxy S7 phones waterproof again. The phones can withstand being under at least a meter of water and for at least 30 minutes. But it turns out the phones don’t just handle being dunked — they also know when they’re wet. S7 will warn you if it detects any moisture lurking in the one weak spot in any waterproof phone design: its charging port. One user reported that his phone would no longer charge after performing a dunk test. When he plugged his Samsung fast charger in, the phone displayed a message that moisture had been detected in the charging port and the current never started flowing.
