Verizon update brings FM radio to Galaxy S7 and S7 edge

Killian Bell 5 years ago

Verizon has rolled out a software update for the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge to activate FM radio functionality. The move gives users the ability to tune into their favorite local radio stations, but they’ll need to download an app first. The Galaxy S7 and S7 edge have always had FM radios built-in, but until now, those on Verizon were unable to take advantage of them. That...

Top 5 Android smartphones - The best you can buy in the U.S.

Todd Haselton 6 years ago

Let’s get down to brass tacks here – I used to write a “Top 5 Android smartphones” list every quarter, except, for a little bit there, everything started to feel awfully similar. We got into a very iterative stage of smartphones and, sure, there’s still the argument that we’re still fighting our way through it. But I think there’s enough differentiation out there to qualify a list again...

Samsung has rolled out an update for its Always On Display feature on the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge to give users greater control. Instead of just activating or deactivating it, you can now create a schedule that takes care of it automatically. Always On Display is a terrific feature, and Samsung insists it doesn't burn a lot of battery life. But there are times when you simply don'...

Todd Haselton 6 years ago

We usually save our top 5 smartphone lists until the end of the year but, given the influx of new phones that have landed in our laps, we figured now would be just as good a time as ever to bring you a list of our favorites. And, unlike some of our other lists, the TechnoBuffalo team actually did work to organize this in order, starting with number 5 and working down the page to the...

Galaxy S7 Edge camera samples: 10 pictures from my life with the phone

Todd Haselton 6 years ago

We always put a lot of attention into the camera section of our smartphone reviews, particularly just in an effort to provide you with samples of shot with the camera of the phone we’re testing. We already did that with the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, but we wanted to continue showing how the camera performs just… as we live with the phone. We’re always asked about this sort of stuff...

Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge home buttons scratch easily, report says

Jacob Kleinman 6 years ago

The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge are both excellent smartphones, but they may include one significant design flaw. PhoneArena reports that the home button on both devices scratches easily, offering up photos of each device as evidence. The photos above look pretty damning. The Galaxy S7 home button is badly scuffed and the S7 Edge took similar damage too. PhoneArena notes that a...

Google Nexus 6P vs. Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge—Two of Android's finest

Brandon Russell 6 years ago

You have two choices: Samsung’s powerful, impressive, and gorgeous Galaxy S7 Edge, or Google’s Nexus 6P, which is a little less powerful, not quite as beautiful, but much, much cheaper. Which one do you choose? It really depends on your needs. If you’re the kind of person who absolutely demands the latest technology, the Galaxy S7 Edge is an obvious choice. However, if you’re not too...

Nexus 6P vs Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: Vote best smartphone – Mobile Madness 2016

Roy Choi 6 years ago

Vote today’s round of Mobile Madness. Today we have previous play-in round winners the Nexus 6P going up against the Galaxy S7 Edge. The Nexus 6P is probably the first time most U.S. users have set their eyes on a Huawei device. Then again, some may argue it is equally difficult to get an Xperia device here in the U.S. market as well, at least as far as sales distribution is concerned...

Galaxy S7 Edge vs OnePlus 2 - Vote best smartphone - Mobile Madness 2016

Roy Choi 6 years ago

We’re continuing on our next match-up for Mobile Madness, yesterday we saw the Nexus 6P absolutely crush The Sony Xperia Z5. Today we’ll see the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and OnePlus 2 go head to head. Is it fair to consider the Galaxy S7 Edge a flagship phone? Flagship usually means THE top phone, though for the Korean company that term is relative and Samsung has a handful: Galaxy S7,...

Galaxy S7 Edge vs iPhone 6s camera comparison: Two giants go head to head

Brandon Russell 6 years ago

It’s inevitable. Whenever a new phone comes out, it will be compared to Apple’s iPhone. Even the iPhone is compared to the iPhone. And although Apple’s devices don’t have the most advanced specs, you can’t argue with their success—that’s a big reason why the iPhone (and Apple) is at the center of so many smear campaigns. So, with the release of the Galaxy S7 Edge—perhaps the best and...
