Smartphones Galaxy S 7. SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 Review: Smartphone without weaknesses. Brakes. Anytime and anywhere

It is impossible to say that in terms of the design of Samsung Galaxy S7, it is fundamentally different from - 5.1-inch screen and glass case make it look like the predecessor. True, there are still differences and noticeable, besides, the novelty has become a little thicker and significantly harder.

Flagship dimensions - 142.4 × 69.6 × 7.9 mm, weight - 152 grams. In size, he is compacting Huawei Honor 7, but the largest and thicker of its predecessor. Smartphone is quite heavy, comparable by weight with Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016). The novelty has become a little thicker, but thanks to the rounded edges of the case, it is practically not felt in hand. The front and rear panels of the device are covered with Gorilla Glass 4 protective glass, the smartphone is framed by a metal frame. The device is conveniently lying in hand, but the glass case quickly collects traces and fingerprints. At the same time, it's surprising that it is almost not slippery and is quite reliably lies in the palm. It is different from the predecessor in front of the fact that the glass on the front panel is harder at the edges. The side frames are quite narrow, the ratio of the screen area to the surface area is 72%. Right under the display is the main key "Home", the fingerprint scanner is built into it. It works fast, but not always the first time, the matter here is rather in the geometry of the sensor. For example, at the same Huawei P9 it is square and large, so applying your finger to the sensor, you will almost certainly get on it the desired pad of the pad. And Samsung Galaxy S7 is narrow and small in the area, from here and may take these "extra", unsuccessful attempts to unlock.

Rear are the most interesting changes in the design plan. About the miracle, the camera now does not drink out of the housing and does not cause more aesthetic displeasure. Although it is worth saying thanks to the thickness of the phone, which this year has increased slightly. Another change is the form of the back, in the center it is flat, but closer to the side ends, narrowing, smoothly bends. It not only looks impressive, but also very convenient - thanks to this form, the phone more conveniently falls into the hand.

About the build quality there is nothing to say, it is at the maximum level. In addition, this year the phone returned to protect against water and dust missing after. Someone will not like that the phone is unbalanced, and the battery is fixed, but this is the fee for the metal case. Despite the protective glass from all sides, the smartphone cannot be called shockproof, like Samsung Galaxy S7 Active.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 smartphone is presented in three colors: "black diamond" (black), "dazzling platinum" (golden) and "silver titanium" (silver).

Screen - 4.6.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 display is one of the best smartphones on the current market, it is juicy, bright, twist and perfectly read in the sun. True, many colors on it may seem too saturated.

The device received a 5.1-inch super amoled display with a resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels and a density of 577 dpi. AMOLED technology provides excellent readability in the sun, maximum viewing angles and infinite contrast.

The measured brightness range was very wide - from 2 to 396 kD / m 2. And if you put in autostarity and leave it to the street, it will be all 525 kD / m 2. The display is easy to read in the sun, but in the dark will remain comfortable for the eyes. The color reproduction of the screen is very accurate - the magnitude of the color deflection does not exceed three units. If the screen seems to you too juicy, then in the display settings you can switch to the "main" image mode. In it, the color coverage of the device is narrowed with unusually wide to the narrower standard of SRGB.

One of the innovations relating to the display is the Always on Display function - it means an active screen throughout the day. Even if the device goes into sleep, the display will always display information about missed calls, time or date. However, it changes significantly on the autonomy of the device, "eating" about 1% of charging per hour.

It is a pity that there is no separate mode of work in gloves. Once this flagship is already trying to imagine everything that is only possible, we expected to see this feature. It must be said that the display is so rather sensitive, but it turns out to work with it only in very thin fabric gloves, and that is not very convenient.

Camera

Samsung Galaxy S7 received top chambers for 12 meters and 5 megapixel. They can be called one of the best among mobile devicesif not the best.

The company unexpectedly ceased to chase behind the number of megapixels (by the way, Samsung Galaxy S6 and S5 had 16), and began to improve the quality of shooting due to the use of instant phase autofocus and change the quality of pixels. Thus, the physical size of the sensor has not changed - 1 / 2.6, "the size of the pixels themselves increased from 1.12 to 1.4 microns, which allows you to" capture "more light and brightness even in low light conditions. In this case, this indicator is not the highest On the market. So, with the same resolution of Huawei Nexus 6P, the sensor is more - 1 / 2.3, "and the pixels themselves are slightly larger - 1.55 microns. But Samsung Galaxy S7 received an optical stabilization system (which is not Nexus) and a wider F / 1.7 diaphragm to skip more light. For comparison, LG G5 and Lenovo Vibe Shot they w.the same, f / 1.8 and f / 2.2, respectively.

So how does all this affect practices? In fact, Samsung Galaxy S7 is one of the leaders in mobile photography. In our opinion, on average, he removes better phones such as Motorola Moto X Force, Huawei P9 or iPhone 6S. It focuses correctly and almost instantly. Because of this, it even has a feeling that everything happens somehow, as of course. The camera removes with excellent levels of detail, even small fonts or inscriptions are read in the photo, although some small details are still "closed." The smartphone copes excellently with complex lighting conditions, and in the dark "noise" an order of magnitude less than most smartphones. At the same time, sometimes the camera can be mistaken a little with white balance, issuing cool frames or making greens is unnaturally saturated. Not that this is a big problem, rather, an amateur thing, Samsung's company phones often embellish reality.

The camera interface is both accustomed and understandable. From above there is a strip of fast settings, down - the photo and video shooting buttons (you can shoot a photo simultaneously with the video), go to the shots gallery and choosing one of the set of modes. Manual, or shooting "Pro" will delight the following choice of adjustable parameters:

• Exposure (from -2 to +2)
• Exposure (from 1/2400 to 10)
• ISO (from 50 to 800)
• White balance (from 2300 to 10,000 K)
• Focusing (from Macro to Infinity)
• You can add some filter from a small list.

In fact, such a choice is not so wide, in the same LG G4 it was somewhat wider, yielding only in the range of color temperatures.

The main chamber can also boast the possibility of recording video in 4K-resolution and slow shooting in HD (1280 × 720 pixels) at 240 frames per second, like iPhone 6. At the same time, the phone is able to shoot with the "hyperlaps" effect (accelerated video with a large number of frames) and in the "virtual shooting" mode of objects from all sides.

The front camera on 5 MP copes perfectly with selfie, they do not look muddy even in rooms. In her arsenal there is a jewelry mode, group selfie (mini panoramas), HDR mode, virtual survey and even flash using the screen on the iPhone SE manner. Funny, but the front camera also knows how to shoot video not only in Full HD, but also in QHD resolution (2560 × 1440 pixels).

Comparison of the HDR SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 function

Working with text - 4.0

Samsung Galaxy S7 uses a corporate keyboard, and we consider it convenient to work with the text.

It provides for a continuous input of text with the help of strokes (Swype) and a separate number of digits. True, for most additional characters, including comma, we will have to call an additional menu whenever. But the keyboard has the opportunity to access the so-called clipboard, in which many separate phrases or even offers can be stored. If you wish on the smartphone, you can adjust the keyboard height or select the 3 × 4 keyboard (looks like on old push-button phones).

Internet - 3.0

Browsers in Samsung Galaxy S7 are convenient and well suited to work on the Internet. So, the smartphone does not slow down when working at least ten tabs immediately. Initially, it is pre-installed Google Chrome. And your own browser "Internet". The first is able to synchronize with the desktop version of chromium and customize the text under the pre-selected size. And the brawl browser "Internet" does not offer any interesting settings, except for saving pages. Auto-lining text under the screen width or read mode is not provided.

Communication - 5.0

As expected, Samsung Galaxy S7 received a top set of communications:

• Wi-Fi A / B / G / N / AC, high-speed and dual-band, there is a Wi-Fi Direct
• Bluetooth 4.2, energy-efficient, with support for A2DP profile and APT-X codec
• Support LTE category 9 (up to 450 MB / s)
• A-GPS with GLONASS and Chinese Beidou
• NFC with SAMSUNG PAY proprietary function.

It is not clear only where the IR-Port was used, which was at the predecessor. Perhaps he was prepared fate again "to die", as it was already ten years ago. Also someone may not like the absence of FM radio. The device supports two Nanosim cards, but the second slot is hybrid, it is combined with a microSD card slot. In itself, the presence of a memory card slot is another advantage of the novelties (in Samsung Galaxy S6 it was not). But the fact that he is combined with SIM-Koy becomes a "minus to the plus", which annoys many consumers who get up to the problem of choice. Many probably expected to see the new USB Type-C connector, but instead it uses even more widespread microusb 2.0. Why did the company refused such innovation? This is three reasons at once - first, some accessories (for example, virtual reality glasses Samsung Gear. VR) do not support USB type C, secondly, the lowest prevalence of the new connector on the market is affected, and thirdly, Galaxy S7 and so quickly charges (fast charging - one of their advantages of USB Type-C). Separately, we note that the connector supports USB OTG to connect flash drives and other periphery. Moreover, a small OTG adapter is already included in the phone - it's just some kind of unprecedented generosity.

Multimedia - 4.6.

The company traditionally pay attention to the issue of supporting audio and video codecs, so Galaxy S7 can be called almost omnivorous. In tests, he showed himself almost as Samsung Galaxy S6. The phone could not play only audio in AC-3 and DT-S formats, as well as some MPG and RMVB rollers.

The music player is preinstalled for the phone Google Play. Music, it is equipped with an equalizer with setting different frequencies, sound effects and different "enhancements". The branded video player shows subtitles, can play only the sound without an image (to listen to the movie or video track) and show video in a small window over desktops and applications. It is also equipped with a simple editor - trimming, adding effects (blur, color filters) and adjusting the sound volume.

Battery - 4.4.

Compared to the predecessor, Galaxy S7 received a more powerful battery, and with it, autonomy has increased. True, some new features negatively affect the time of work, but if you wish, you can disable them - then you have enough phone for one and a half or two days of work.

In the smartphone, a non-removable battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh (remind, Galaxy S6 was 2550 mAh). The phone showed practically record work hours in video mode - 14 and a half hours of viewing HD video on the maximum brightness. For comparison, the major Samsung Galaxy Note 4 lasted "total" 12 and a half hours. In the remaining tests, the time also turned out to be at a high level, but not so outstanding. So, in the audio player mode, Galaxy S7 worked 85 hours, just longer than the predecessor, but less, for example, than LG Nexus 5X. In an hour in games, the battery lost about 16% of the charge, therefore, the phone is able to hold out about 6 hours, and this is one of the best results. On the shooting of a 10-minute FULL HD roller passed only 3%, also a kind of record. It is worth noting the new feature of Always on Display, which we talked above, if you use it, it will plant approximately 1% per hour. Personally, she did not seem so useful to us, we turned off it and spent all the tests without it. Still, an additional 24% per day is already a solid flow rate for the battery.

Samsung Galaxy S7 supports the fast charging function Quick Charge 2.0 and the wireless charging of two types common in the Qi and PMA market. A little sorry, but the latest type of fast charging (Quickcharge 3.0) is not supported by the phone. But you immediately give a network adapter that supports accelerated charging. With it, the phone is fully charged about one and a half hours, it is really fast for solid battery capacity.

Performance - 4.6.

The new flagship got 4 GB of RAM and operates on a rapid processor, which copes excellently with everything you can pose a smartphone. With this phone does not overheat and remains cool.

Samsung Galaxy S7 is equipped with a powerful top 8-nuclear EXYNOS 8890 (4 cores of 2.3 GHz + 4 cores of 1.6 GHz), which is made according to a 14-nm technological process. The phone received at once 4 GB of RAM, for example, for example, ASUS Zenfone 2 Ze551ml. Although still up to half of this memory will always be occupied by the system itself. Based on the characteristics only, it can be assumed that the Galaxy S7 is an extremely productive device. The manufacturer declares that the computing power of the graphics processor increased by 60%, and the central - by 30%. And judging by various tests, it really is.

Smartphone works quickly and smoothly, copes with any tasks. In addition, Samsung Galaxy S7 is the first flagship that works with the Vulkan Graphics API interface. It provides a higher productivity, gives a deep level of access to the "hardware" and helps to use it most effectively. Although in daily use you will not notice some particular difference between Galaxy S7, last year's Galaxy S6 or some other top smartphone. By and large, the difference is seen only synthetic benchmarks, and in them the novelty showed almost maximum results, again "punching ceilings":

• GEEKBENCH 3 - 6336 (Galaxy S6 received about two thousand less)
• Antutu 6.0 - 129 842 (a little more gets, for example, Apple iPhone 6S)
• 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited - up to 29 036 (Sony Xperia Z5 Premium - up to 26 114 points).

You can not doubt Samsung Galaxy S7 - one of their leaders in performance and speed. Faster work except for the last iPhones, for example,. We were a little annoyed that at times, about once a day, the smartphone still manages "chopping" in its own interface and suddenly think about switching between applications or somewhere in the settings.

We also checked whether the device does not overheat while working as some Android flagships of 2015. It turned out that there is no, half an hour of the game in NOVA 3, the temperature of the hull did not exceed 37 degrees. In fact, the smartphone is stronger than quick charging, but we will not take into account.

Memory - 5.0

While in Russia is a model only with 32 GB of internal memory. 64 GB versions are still not on sale, it seems that it will not be at all in our country. 32 GB is not such a large volume for the phone with a top chamber, removing and slowing, and 4k-video. But the memory can be enlarged using a microSD card (up to 256 GB). Apparently, the company listened to the criticism of experts and consumers who fell on the Galaxy S6 due to the lack of a slot for a microSD card, and finally returned it. That's really, I will first be sick, and then to return as it was, so that everyone was satisfied. True, we still remain unhappy with the fact that the applications cannot be installed on the memory card. Why and why? It is not clear, apparently, the manufacturer has no confidence in the "third-party" cards, after all, they work slower than the internal memory of the flagship.

Features

The Samsung Galaxy S7 smartphone is running the latest Android 6.0 and its own TouchWiz UI brand interface.

The features of this phone are a warp and a small trolley, perhaps he is generally one of the most special on the market. Returned moisture and dustproof. Returned - because already on Samsung Galaxy S5, but disappeared on Galaxy S6. By the way, now the protection has been updated to the IP68 standard. We would not be recommended to swim with him, but if you are inappropriate to shed liquid on it or use it during the rain, it will not suffer. The phone received an unusual housing - it is made of metal and is covered with glass on both sides, bent along the edges (2,5d) on the front panel. Even the form of the back is not easy - smoothly narrows closer to the side ends. Perhaps the most unusual, this is an abundance of sensors - fingerprint scanner, pulsometer, and even blood oxygen meter. Yes, all this was both Galaxy S6, but did not become some familiar year a year later. A little sadness is only that the last two can only be used in the app S Health, that is, a person who does not know and does not use this software may never stumble upon such functions in his phone. Also as features can be called extremely, even overlooking the display, as well as a series of chips like always on the screen (although it is not slammed by the battery per day), fast wired and wireless charging and top performance. In addition, we note the advanced package - the manufacturer did not regret you for you a charger with support for quick charging, good headphones and even a USB OTG adapter to connect peripheral devices. Samsung is actively promoting the cheap ecosystem to the device - VR virtual reality glasses, SAMSUNG Gear S2 smart watches and Gear S360 chamber. We believe that these are pleasant bonuses, but they relate to certain categories of goods. Still, the smartphone is self-sufficient and without them.

Part 1: General acquaintance, as well as performance comparison with iPhone 6S Plus and Moto X Force

Announcement Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge at the Mobile World Congress 2016 exhibition was expected to be one of the main IT events of recent weeks. And although there is nothing revolutionary in these smartphones - it is rather evolution in relation to and S6 EDGE, and not a revolution, however, according to the first impressions and for the aggregate of voiced information about the novelties, it seems that this is really hardly The best flagships of the first half of 2016. Now that we received Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE on testing, it's time to check it or not.

About our first impressions from Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge We were told in the report from the presentation. Here we emphasize that although Samsung, like a year ago, produces two smartphones at the same time and retains positioning, hardware differences between them are still greater than between Galaxy S6 and S6 EDGE. First, the display of two new products differs not only by the presence or absence of bend, but also a diagonal - 5.1 inches in the case of Galaxy S7 and 5.5 inches in the case of S7 EDGE. Secondly, the battery capacity, which almost coincided in S6 and S6 EDGE, is now quite significant: S7 this indicator is 3000 mAh, and S7 EDGE has already 3600 mA · h.

Apparently, the manufacturer decided to more thoroughly argue the difference in price between S7 and S7 EDGE. According to pre-order in Russia, smartphones cost 49990 and 59990 rubles, respectively. 10,000 rubles differences only for spectacular bending of the screen - a bit too much, but if you add to this more caulial battery and the large area of \u200b\u200bthe screen, it turns out much more interesting.

We particularly note that when making a pre-order, the user receives a second-generation Samsung Gear VR helmet, which is individually worth almost 8,000 rubles. Pleasant bonus!

Take a look at the characteristics of the Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE.

For clarity, we decided to make a table with the characteristics of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and its immediate predecessor Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE +, and also added to the Moto X Force table and iPhone 6S Plus - the most obvious new competitors.

* According to official manufacturers

The table is clearly seen what major changes have occurred in the novelty compared to the Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE +. First of all, support for microSD memory cards. In addition, the smartphone is now equipped with a new SOC and significantly more capacious battery. True, two parameters can embarrass those who choose between Galaxy S7 EDGE and S6 EDGE +. First, the novelty became a little thicker, and secondly, the rear camera now has a resolution of 12 megapixel instead of the previous 16 megapixel. However, both are substantiated by some technological features that we will also tell me further, so you should not immediately write it in the cons.

As for comparison with Moto X Force, there is attention to the smaller amount of RAM. Well, of course, the screen does not bend (although, according to Lenovo, owning the brand Moto, it is also plastic). As for the rest of the differences (Soc and camera parameters), then it is necessary to test here. The same is true and for the iPhone 6S Plus, where directly comparing the characteristics is generally meaningless due to different OS. But it is worth paying attention to that compared to the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Moto X Force, the iPhone 6S Plus has a much less capacious battery, although the dimensions are no less (only thickness).

However, let's move on to direct testing and in the process already respond to a number of questions that have arisen when comparing the characteristics. Including, to the main one: what smartphone is the most productive at the moment.

Equipment

The smartphone entered us in a test box, different from those that will be on the counter. Alas, it was not a wonderful suitcase, like colleagues from Poland, but just a white cardboard packaging. However, the equipment inside, apparently, corresponds to the buyers in the store.

This is a charger with Quick Charge, Micro-USB cable - USB, a key to extract the SIM card cradle and a memory card, OTG adapter (to connect external USB drives with a full-sized plug), as well as headphones in a separate plastic box and optional A set of rubber incum.

The same headphones were both Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE +, and, must be admitted, no wonder the manufacturer put them again. They have an unemployed wire of a flat cross section, a very convenient form of an ambushure, and most importantly - a decent sound. We checked it on the Flac versions of the new EP Massive Attack "Ritual Spirit" (by the way, the smartphone without any problems reproduces Flac tracks) and were pleasantly surprised by the transfer of deep bass in the songs of Dead Editors and Take It There.

As for the charger - more detailed about all matters related to the battery and recharging, we will tell us in the second part of the article, but for now we will notify only one result: in 15 minutes, the smartphone has been charged with a complete charging unit by 20%. Very good result!

Design

In terms of the appearance of the difference with Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE from S6 EDGE + and 6S Edge are minimal - first of all, they concern some changed sizes. Nevertheless, Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE can be called with any doubt one of the most beautiful modern smartphones.

Virtually the entire front panel takes the screen, spectacularly wrapped on both edges over long sides. And this is not enough that in itself admires, it also creates the illusion of the complete absence of the framework. In fact, the framework, of course, is, but they are so rather thin, and thanks to the rounding screen seems very insignificant.

And the front and the rear panels are completely closed with glasses. They are pretty marked, especially if we are talking about the black version of the smartphone (there will also be a silver and "platinum" versions), but still look great. Very narrow zones from below and from above above the screen - this is also a plus. Due to this, with the same screen sizes, the Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE is significantly more compact than the iPhone 6S Plus. True, the iPhone is very slightly fond, but it is completely unnoticed. And thanks to narrowing the side faces, the Samsung smartphone seems even thinner of the Apple device.

In general, Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE is optimal. S6 EDGE + was still Velice and lying in the hand is not so comfortable. But S7 EDGE - just right! Of course, because of the glass in front and behind, it is slipping, you are afraid to pick it up, but still hold it nice in my hand.

All the faces, like the predecessor, are made of metal, buttons - too. They are pressed with pleasant elasticity. The location of the buttons and connectors is similar to the previous model. On the right - the power button, on the left - the split buttons for adjusting the volume.

At the bottom edge - speaker, Micro-USB connector with OTG support (it is strange that Samsung does not switch to USB Type C, unlike many other manufacturers), 3.5 mm connector for headset and an integrated microphone hole. It is curious that the location of this opening has changed, that is, inside, apparently, the internal layout of the components has undergone significant changes. As for the speaker, its maximum volume is quite sufficient and in order not to miss the call / alarm clock, and to view movies or videos, but for listening to music, of course, it is not worth using because of the extra pride and not very pleasant sound character in Overall. However, it would be strange to expect something other from the device for such a form factor.

At the top face, we see another microphone hole and the combined slot for the SIM card and the MicroSD memory card. Yes, as we have already said, Samsung corrected one of the main deficiencies of Galaxy S6 EDGE and S6 EDGE +, adding memory card support to Galaxy S7 Edge. And considering that the manufacturer is especially proud of the smartphone chamber, this is especially true, since 32 GB's own memory for a camerafone, shooting video in 4k, is frankly little.

At the top of the front panel, near the eyes of the front camera and sensors, the LED indicator is located. A large round point shines in various colors depending on the battery charging status or incoming messages. This element was before, but pleased that Samsung did not sacrificed them.

The lens of the rear chamber is still pretty standing on the level of glass of the rear panel, but this is a serious disadvantage, it is hardly possible.

Speakers and the "Home" button on the front panel. But it's even plus, because it is easier to find it on the touch. And it will be necessary to do this every time you turn on the smartphone, because in this button - a dactyloscopic sensor. It works very quickly, the frequency of recognition is very good, so there are no complaints here.

Despite the fact that outwardly the design has changed the minimum, the new smartphone has one very important quality: Waterproofing according to IP68 standard. At the same time, there are no plugs on ports here. That is, moisture protection is ensured by design and materials. This is, of course, a beautiful and unexpected gift, a real feat of the engineers!

In general, the design deserves the highest marks. Of course, his subjective perception depends primarily on how much you basically like the screen bending on the verge. There are people who do not like it. But even they are unlikely to argue with the fact that the design of the Galaxy S7 edge is certainly original (except, of course, its predecessors), and thanks to the excellent ratio of dimensions and the size of the display, the smartphone is also very practical. He fit without problems in any pocket and will be comfortable to lie even in a small hand. As a huge plus, we note the appearance of a memory card slot, and the absence of a green option is in the number of minuses. Galaxy S6 Edge is precisely green ("Emerald") version was one of the most attractive, original and stylish.

Color options for the new representative of the EDGE family are also very good. But here is a strange situation: only black, golden and silver options are available for pre-order in Russia. And white - no. Although we saw it at the exhibition and, frankly, it was he who liked most of all. He has a very interesting pearl shade. The black apparatus that we now have on testing seems to be slightly less advantageous and practical (due to fingerprints), although the color is still interesting, deep, not banal.

Performance

The smartphone works on the new SOC exynos 8890 OCTA, made by the process of 14 nm, improved using the FinFet LPP technology (Low-Power Plus). Here are new Mongoose CPUs (four cores with a frequency of 2.6 GHz) and the four Cortex-A53 kernels with a frequency of 1.6 GHz are already used.

The role of graphic accelerator performs Mali-T880.

Previously, Samsung did not use this SOC, that is, now we have the first acquaintance with her. And therefore, it is necessary to compare it with the main competing solutions: Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 and Apple A9. Of course, it would be even more interesting if Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 participated in comparison, but there were still no devices with this SOC. So we will be content with what is, and at the same time we will try to answer the burning question, so causing the Internet Community: Who is more powerful - Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE or Apple iPhone S6 Plus?

Let's start with browser tests: Sunspider 1.0.2, Octane Benchmark, Kraken Benchmark and. On all Android devices, we used the Chrome browser, on iOS - Safari. If the table stands in the table, it means that the corresponding smartphone in this benchmark (or in this version of this benchmark) was not tested.

As you can see, Android-competitor and Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE's own predecessor overtakes confidently, but in the overall standing ahead is still iPhone.

Now let's see how the gadget will perform in complex benchmarks - Antutu 6 and Geekbench 3.

Unfortunately, we have no results of Antutu 6 for the previous Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE +, since we tested it in the fifth version of the benchmark, and it was radically different on the principles of points accrual, so comparing the results incorrectly. But Antutu finally earned normally on iOS. So we have contributed to the table and iPhone too.

And again the picture is repeated, although the superiority of the iPhone is already smaller, and in the Multi-core mode Geekbench 3 Apple smartphone and is not losing the novelty Samsung.

In addition to our permanent test technique, we decided to compare Galaxy S7 EDGE and iPhone 6S Plus in the Basemark OS II cross-platform benchmark. Results - in front of you. Screenshot Left - Samsung, right - Apple.

As you can see, SAMSUNG lost. Although not in all subtests (see Memory).

The last group of benchmarks is devoted to GPU performance testing. We used 3DMark, GFXBENCH and BONSAI BENCHMARK. All of them demonstrate the real 3D scenes and allow you to visually see how devices are coping with them.

Let's start with GFXBENCH. Recall that offscreen tests are the output to the image screen in 1080r, regardless of the real screen resolution. And OnScreen tests are a picture of a picture in a resolution that matches the resolution of the device screen. That is, the offscreen tests are indicative from the point of view of the abstract performance of SOC, and onscreen tests - in terms of the comfort of the game on a particular device. In addition, on Android devices of this year, a new CAR Chase scene is used, activating OpenGL ES 3.1. This standard is not supported by the iPhone, so this scene is not available there, as well as the version of the MANHATTAN scene with ES 3.1. However, the data is enough to draw conclusions.

As we see, Galaxy S7 EDGE and iPhone 6S Plus performed about equal. The difference in Onscreen mode is naturally due to higher resolution of the Galaxy S7 EDGE screen. As for comparison with other Android-smartphones, here the picture is unambiguous and does not require comments.

The following tests - 3DMark and Bonsai Benchmark. In the 3DMark scene Sling Shot on Android devices was launched in the OpenGL ES 3.1 version, and on the iPhone - in the OpenGL 3.0 version.

We can say about Bonsai Benchmark that it is no longer indicative for such productive SOC - in particular, this is evidenced by the results of two Samsung smartphones. But with 3DMark - more interesting. And here still leads the iPhone.

In general, the benchmarks allow us to draw the following conclusions. Undoubtedly, we have a powerful device to which there are no equal among Android smartphones. At least before the device appears on Qualcomm Snapdragon 820. However, the Samsung iPhone 6S Plus is failed to surpass - in most tests the flagship is leading the flagship. Although the separation is minimal and represents, rather, theoretical interest. The practical result (performance in games) will depend primarily on how well the game will be optimized for a specific SOC.

In the second part of the article you are waiting for detailed testing of the screen, the stories about the autonomous work, the description of software, as well as the test drive of the chamber in hiking conditions - on the Kola Peninsula, including under the underwater shooting! Do not miss!

SAMSUNG GALAXY S7. - This is a sign smartphone of Just 2016. He sets the rules of the game and serves as a landmark for all of its competitors, including Apple. However, on the example of this smartphone, it becomes clear that no breakthrough is not worth waiting for us. Many positive changes, a lot of retouching, but all this evolution. I have already said that the development of the market goes towards services and accessories, and S7 is more superfront.

Equipment

Includes Samsung Galaxy S7, the following has been found:

• charger with Fast Adaptive Charge function
• micro USB cable
• wired headset (in my case it was not)
• clip to extract a SIM card
• uSB adapter on micro-interface

The latter is designed to copy data from an old smartphone to a new one. The menu even found the corresponding software function. The only thing I did not understand is what kind of devices they are talking about: any Android-smartphone or only about "Samsung" solutions.

Immediately about the fact that Samsung decided not to equip their brainchild usb Type-C, and limited to a version with Micro USB. From the point of view of the desire to get all the most new things - this is, of course, the lack. In practice, there is no real need for a new type of cable. Micro USB is like charging from Nokia at its best times. Type-C is something new, tempting and incomprehensible why the right one. Well, true!

Design

The first thing that rushes into the eyes is a design, more precisely, the absence of changes in it in it. The novelty has been drawn in the spirit of time, but the designers did not bring anything new to the appearance of the device.

Is it good or bad? I do not think that you need to chase every year for something new. This is a meaningless race, which is so too much in our life. Updating appearance once every two years, as they do in Apple, and now in Samsung is a small island of stability to appreciate, and not to scold. Yes, and our savings will be intact.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 turned out to be a fluff. It is the thicker of its predecessor by as much as 1.1 mm.

It would seem, only one millimeter with the tenth of a share - because of what is the cheese-boron? In practice, it matters. I was not at hand S6, however, after many months, when I last kept in the hands of "Eschesta," I immediately determined that the novelty was noticeably thicker.

Of course, this does not have a negative impact on the experience of using the device. Well, more per millimeter. So what? Never mind! We use and rejoice at the benefits of modern civilization, especially since Galaxy S7, believe me, allows you to do 100 percent.

However, if the thickness of the thickness is critical and you are experiencing something similar to ecstasy when you hold a thin smartphone in your hands (, for example), then S7 will seem clumsy. Another thing is that I did not meet such aesthets in my century, and I myself cannot attribute himself to this category.

The developers donated the thickness of the installation of a more rapid battery, as well as rounded protective glass. The intentions of good, so at this moment you can safely close your eyes.

Samsung broke and installed on the front panel of a truly curved protective glass on the edges. This is Corning Gorilla Glass 4, by the way.

I do not get tired of repeating that 2.5d glass is different. On the one hand, a similar panel was already in Galaxy Note 4, but in comparison it is not the same. In S7, it has very steep edges, thanks to which the light plays very beautifully on the facial surface of the device.

Rear has the same glass, however, a little more marked than I would like, and more curved. There is a good oleophobic coating, however, prints and other traces of operation will accompany the device constantly. Previously, many men worn with them only a brush for shoes, now you will have to carry the microfibra to keep in proper form not only shoes, but also your phone. Times times.

Personally, I like it when and in front, and the glass is used in the back instead of the entire metal case. It is practical simply because you have less chances to disembark the device. The same iPhone 6 or 6S so strives to slip out of the hands. It seems that the creators made the housing so "soap" specifically so that we break the screens and change them for their, rather big money.

For the glass, the fingers cling more securely, so the safety for the tube is higher.

And besides, the glass provides a proper level of glossiness. This novelty will definitely not refuse. In my opinion, he is so glamorous by different colors, which is even too. Perhaps the more matte shade would look much more impressive and maintained. However, this is a matter of personal preferences.

All standard front elements are located above the screen. No additional outbreaks, second chambers and other non-fingerless nonsense. However, when photographing self-portraits in the dark, the display briefly lifts the brightness to highlight the face. Technology is not Nova and for the first time we met with her yet.

The surrounding light sensor works strange. More precisely, slowly and sharply.

The screen changes the brightness level with a delay of about 3-4 seconds and one jump. No smoothness is about. Perhaps this is exactly the case that is associated with a non-final sample. I had exactly such a device.

There is information that over time, the device learns to determine the level of ambient lighting and the brightness of the display depending on the user's preferences. Unfortunately, I could not check it out, since I tested the device not so much time.

The metal bezel around the perimeter of the case is now completely rounded. Previously, there were partially flat faces, now there is no. No corners. At all! It states that the metal here (aluminum alloy 6013) is resistant to drops and well, very durable.

Slot under the SIM card here has a composite design. The outer part, which sticks out in the housing, metal, and the inner already plastic. Design, you need to recognize, slipping. I would like greater reliability, although it is in principle and is not needed if you are not going to constantly change the cards with one to another.

The multimedia speaker is located below and I did not like it.

Weathered for a device of such a level, both volume and quality. Medium and high frequencies go into a whistle, and the volume on a noisy street will be completely definitely not enough. Skip the call nothing is worth it.

But the vibromotor here works as it should. If the device is in pocket pocket, then I do not know what you should distract you so much that you will not feel the vibration. I rarely meet such a strong vibrootklik. It is great that in the settings its intensity can be adjusted to their needs.

The rear camera still druits over the case, but now much less.

This fact even became an independent reason for pride from the manufacturer. Look at the official picture below.

Cool, probably. The most interesting thing is that with the release of the iPhone 7, the fact of the non-repeating camera will be actively operated in Apple. Wow will go hype. Already anticipating.

One of the main chips of the novelty is to protect against moisture and dust according to the IP68 standard.

Previously, such protection was already present in and the company actively exploited this moment. Then with the release of the sixth about him somehow delicately forgotten, because the phrase "can I like your smartphone?" Suddenly became a joke and toward his own, moreover, a more advanced and modern device. It fell funny, in my opinion.

Now the device is officially dried for 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 meters. Let me remind you that there was no information that could be done with him. The phone was protected from splashing, but it was not strong enough to dip in the water, although he had perfectly withstand such tests. Now all without restrictions. All in an adult.

First, the motherboard itself has a special, water-repellent impregnation. Secondly, the hull does not let moisture inside, to its components.

The fingerprint scanner

Unfortunately, the scanner does not work when they simply touch him. To unlock the smartphone, you need to click on the button, passing the finger along the way. This behavior is characteristic of, but not for the device on Android. In the latter case, it is usually enough just to touch the scanner and the device is unlocked.

For the latter, it is not worth worrying - from 10 attempts 10 will be successful. Read speed, but as a result and unlocking, maximum: no more than half acende on the eye, but maybe faster.

Display

The device received Super AMOLED screen, one of the best today, in terms of its characteristics, of course:

• diagonal 5.1 inches
• resolution 2560 x 1440 Points (QHD)
• density points 576 PPI

Yes, the screen has a very good stock of brightness, it is very contrasting and perfectly conveys a comprehensive paint. Perhaps even too. On the other hand, this moment is simply configured in the menu where you can choose a comfortable for yourself. color gamut. It is a pity that the choice of presets is not too big.

Traditionally, Amoled`Or screens are characterized by care in greenish shades with deviation. Previously, it was very noticeable, now in the eyes it is not rushed. There is a small leafer with other colors if the device is treated at different angles. High-quality IPS matrices, in my opinion, by this item bypass "Samsung" decisions.

If you look at the screen at a right angle, then perhaps this is the best matrix that I ever came across.

Extremely sensitive to presses. In the settings there is no mode "in gloves", so it is impossible to configure this moment. We will have to get used to the fact that the display will recognize the press even if you have not touched the surface of the protective glass. This is normal for many Samsung devices. On the other hand, this is not the worst thing to get used to. It would be much sad if the situation would have been exactly the opposite.

Always on Display.

This is a completely fresh setting that only new flagships received. Surprisingly, but with Samsung joined the fun and. The screen in it can also always be active and display the service information. As if someone had something at someone else at the stage of development of devices.

A set of preset patterns that can be displayed on the display in sleep mode are strictly limited to a specific topic. Add your drawing can not. At least, so far it is impossible.

The collections of these most pictures are not common. Put a third-party topic, activate it, and in addition to standard pictures also appear in the menu. And if an ordinary shell is activated, then third-party pictures are not visible. Such a pun.

In any case, this is a very useful chip, which does not particularly spend the energy of the device. In, for example, this feature consumes no more than 0.8% of energy per hour, which ultimately amounts to about 30 percent of charge. Not at all, however, on the side of the hero of our review one strong advantage - the Super AMOLED display. First, this screen is incomparably less consuming energy. And secondly, it can only highlight separate pixels. If the picture is black and white, then the energy is spent with Gulkin's nose.

SPECIFICATIONS SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 (SM-G930F model)

It is logical to compare the specifications of the device with last year's model. So there will be much more visually and will help identify people sitting on S6 if they need an update or not.

A little more about the most important thing about the processor. Exynos 8 Octa 8890 is installed in both new flagship - in S7 and S7 EDGE. There are no differences between them here.

The "stone" is made according to the 14-nanometer technology at Samsung's own facilities. The processor architecture is based on the Big.little configuration. For the first time, four cores of their own development of the South Korean giant are included in it, and four others are a long-acquired Cortex-A53. Of course, all eight nuclei may be included on the peak load, and for other scenarios there is a number of different scenarios: 2: 3, 1: 2, 3: 1 and so on. Very diverse work algorithms.

In terms of performance, new brains overtake the predecessor by 80% (graphics), and energy consumption during peak loads is reduced by 40%. All this is great, but it does not even mean that Galaxy S6 and his one year's place in the landfill. It is still very powerful devices that will be relevant for two years - quite accurately.

Part of the system on the chip is the LTE Cat modem. 12/13 of own, Samsung production. It provides data load at a speed of up to 600 Mbps, and return to 150 Mbps.

In addition, the new chip is able to support 4K Ultra HD video playback or 4096 x 2160 points. It is even higher than the 4K video resolution, which is written to the built-in camera.

This time, the system on the chip was acquired by a separate EXYNOS M1 processor, which is a nodal point for collecting and analyzing all data obtained from sensors. Such decisions are found in, and in. Moreover, for a couple of years as.

Performance

Do you think that you can find something interesting here? Whatever! S7 works expected reactive and point. Although no, a couple of times I still managed to detect barely notable animation brakes. It was in the deep Wi-Fi settings and then when switching to the browser. Something flashed, more precisely, the slightly thought, but no more.

Naturally, all these are little things and pay attention to this. In addition, it is worth knowing that I had no final sample in my hands, therefore, most likely, updates will be published, which will close these holes if they can be called that.

The results of performance tests in system benchmarks Again the highest of the existing currently.

Many often claim that all this is Sintentika and there is little about what. I categorically disagree with it. Can not a device that is gaining 35,000 points in Antutu, run unkilled at the maximum and not to see in complex scenes. It's impossible.

The work of standard animation and interface with peak performance is in no way connected and here, of course, the benchmark is nothing to do with it.

During the test, I managed to catch only one glitch - Google Play Market unexpectedly decided to self-destruct. Considering that this problem is massive and manifests itself on a large number of different devices, I think the error on the Google side, and not samsung.

Games and Game Tools

I tested only one toy - it is a 3D-shooter Unkilled. And in my memory only two devices that swallowed the toy on ultra and did not even join: and now Samsung Galaxy S7. The rest of the devices in the battles begin to see up to 15-20 fps, but not these two monster.

And now about the new bun - about Game Tools.

This is a pass-through system function, with which you can make screenshots of the game, record the game directly process, and, apply over the window from the front camera, adjust the sound and much more. The thing is really very interesting.

Below the video of what happened when I activated the recording of the game, the video from the front camera.

Cameras and picture quality

There is nothing special about the frontal module. He removes well, there are different settings in the spirit of all major competitors.

I would not say that the quality of the pictures is somehow highlighted against the background of competitors. The manufacturer clearly did not pay any particular attention to this moment.

Front sensor writes a good video in a resolution of 2560 x 1440 points at 30 frames per second. Here is an example.

The rear camera is a separate conversation. First of all, there are many innovations in theory. The Sony IMX260 module with sufficiently specific characteristics is used:

• 12 megapixels
• maximum resolution 4032 x 3024 pixels
• the diaphragm F / 1.7 (a kind of record)
• pixel size 1.4 microns

Unfortunately, during testing in Moscow, frankly stray weather and bright, beautiful frames were not possible. On the other hand, it is even plus, because with sufficient lighting, many cameras remove very well. And here go yeah make a masterpiece into cloudy weather! I will say right away, I got what happened.

The capabilities of the cameras built into smartphones have long developed enough budget soaps, and Samsung does not stand still and tries to improve something else.

Nevertheless, I did not notice much differences. The fact is that you need to compare both generations of the forehead in the forehead and, perhaps, only then can be determined by the difference. S6 shot excellently, S7 removes no worse - that's for sure.

If you chase the quality of the camera built into the phone, then you should not change your old S6 or Note 5 for a novelty. Differences, as for me, very little.

The traditional SAMSUNG devices perfectly operates HDR mode. The system can independently include this feature when it considers it necessary. As a result, photographs are obtained more saturated, without departure, or on the contrary, in black. Usually HDR is a rearranged contrast and photographs do not differ in realism. Here these nuances are more or less smoothed, so pictures are even pleasant.

Of course, the device can record 4K video (resolution of 3840 x 2160 points) at 30 frames per second and with a speed of 50 Mbps. Pretty impressive parameters.

Here is a rough video record on the street.

And this roller, filmed already in the room.

Chips

Samsung, as a rule, with the release of each new flagship adds several new chips. Some of them are useless, some on the contrary can be very useful in one situation or another. In general, we will get acquainted with the most interesting features.

Galaxy S7 as a Wi-Fi repeater

Our hero can connect to wireless networks and transmit the same network to other devices. For example, there is a public network with the Internet "A", our S7 is connected to it and becomes an access point for the transmission of the network signal "A" further. So, the devices "B", "C", "D" and so on (up to 10 pieces) can be connected to S7 and use the same Internet that the point "A" is distributed. Very cool and useful opportunity.

Where is she useful? For example, at the hotel, when the Internet is paid and costs a significant money, and around a lot of hungry mouths (see devices), which you need to enter Instagram` Buy a subscription to one device and connect access to the same point through your S7 the whole family, and at the same time you can earn the neighbors, offering them to throw on a little bit. Thus, you can use paid Internet and discourage the same service. Such is the Jewish trick. Do not thank.

As a restrictive wall, you can specify not only the traditional password from Wi-Fi, but also to create a list of allowed devices. They are marked with the device by the MAC address. Thus, extra gadgets will not pass.

Working tables and other

Many producers slowly surrender and transfer all installed applications on desktops, but not the Koreans, or rather not only Samsung. LG That failed to resist the trends.

In the S7 on the main screen, only the most needed is still located, including advertising shells of applications (for example, Instagram, Facebook, and so on).

The matrix with the rest of the icons is in the menu item.

Topics

Yes, now it has the opportunity to install third-party topics. To download additional shells and manage them need account Samsung. The thing is generally useful if you have a device of the company of the same name. In general, I advise you to get.

Of course, new wallpapers and the effect of animation of the background appeared in the system with deviation of the device in different angles. All stylish, cool. The only minus is that there are not many officially authorized pictures that are injected in memory at the factory. They are beautiful, but I would like to have a more extensive collection.

Dictaphone

There are several modes of operation: the usual, interview (two microphones are activated from below), as well as "voice". What exactly "voice" is unclear: the inscription goes beyond the borders of the screen and in the landscape orientation it is still not read.

Nevertheless, I liked the last mode most. This voice nadick mode, which automatically converts the voice to the text. Moreover, it makes it quite good even in a noisy place. The main thing is to speak clearly, picking up and keep your smartphone close to the mouth.

Below the result of my efforts on a small example:

SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 Review Today, the Wednesday is the second March 2016

Below, I propose to look at the screenshots of the remaining places of the updated shell of Touchwiz 2016.

Battery life

Unfortunately, I used a smartphone pretty short time: so to test the device for full (from 100 to 0 percent). Nevertheless, in terms of energy efficiency, the device pleased me. Well, how? Regarding the time of autonomous work in a modern understanding, and this is 1-2 days for any smartphone (flagship or not).

Thus, the device will absolutely accurately live under the load on all fronts one day.

Under this, I understand 4-5 hours of screen work, background notifications via 4G / Wi-Fi, calls, shooting on the built-in cameras, surfing the network for 2-3 hours, listening to music through headphones and so on. This is a cool result. Compared to Motorola E398 there is nothing about anything, but in comparison with modern competitors, everything looks more than decent.

Until full hundred percent, the device is charged in less than two hours. So run fast charging.

As always, Samsung is given special attention Energy saving issue. And this is at all other characteristics that themselves very effectively save the charge (for example, Super AMOLED display, smart and extreme savings modes, and so on).

So, in the settings showed a menu item where you can manage installed applications. Some utilities hang in the system and periodically do something on their own. As a result, energy is spent. The system estimates that such programs are not used for a while (configured in days) and automatically translate them into power saving mode, that is, restrictions on their work. It is convenient, as we put dozens of applications and use many of them from time to time, and they at the same moment continue to sink and consume batteries.

Samsung was not kept and installed the purge in their product - SmartClean Master SDR, called. In the menu it is called differently. This is a kind of center for controlling the main nodes of the smartphone: power supply, memory, and so on.

In general, the thing is convenient and it would be possible to even make a separate label on the desktop for her.

Wireless charging, of course, is supported and built into the rear wall of the device. True, the accessory for this is sold separately.

Outcome

I remember what thoughts came to me when I was preparing a large-scale comparison of the iPhone 6 and 6s. My conclusions regarding the flagship from Koreans will be the same. And all thanks to the strategy that Samsung is guided by developing its products.

If you do not have a Samsung Galaxy S6 or S6 EDGE, but there is a sufficient amount of money for a new thing, then buy S7 or its curved misunderstanding. Do not lose. This is the maximum of all points of view of smartphones, which can be found today and, I think, in the next six months nothing will change for sure.

Yes, on the side of the iPhone 6S is a very cool 3D touch - perhaps the only advantage in the direction of the brainching of the American corporation. From the point of view of performance, both competitors are very close, as they offer unprecedented graphics and processor power to the village. And in all other 6s, 6s loses its competitor from Asia (camera, communication, OS and manufacturability in general).

If you have S6 or S6 Edge, you should not go to a new generation. Nothing fundamentally new you will notice. Your requirements should be very specific or you play at some kind of Gikovsky level in mobile toys, so that there is an objective need to upgrade to "seven". Of course, again it is worth considering the lack of financial problems.

There is another category of users who read this review and reflect on the topic. This paragraph is for you. If you are tired of iOS and wanted to try something new, then welcome to the real, diverse and very interesting Android world and the acquisition is like this immediately from the Galaxy S7 threshold - it's like that all childhood suffer from allergies to citrus And then rose, buy 5 kilograms of oranges and eat them at a time. Interesting? Not that word!

In conclusion about reasonable in our lives. New flagships are expensive (S7) and very expensive (S7 EDGE). This is a fact and reasons we will not discuss. I just want to remind you that you need to know who you are, where your place and what you can afford. There is absolutely noticed to earn 20-30 thousand rubles per month. On the contrary, there is an excellent motivation to develop and achieve success, which will definitely be accompanied by financial returns. Thart of the purchase of BMW or buy an S7 on credit, provided that there are questions with employment - this is the highest nonsense. And just for such behavior should be ashamed. However, this is just my opinion and the author may be wrong. Such is "disclaimer."

Samsung is the most decent apple competitor. The devices of this Korean brand are in great demand and popularity among users. SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 - no exception. Smartphone will like minimalist lovers and huge features in one device. Samsung Galaxy S7 is a "pumping" version of Galaxy S6, as all his advantages imagined and got rid of flaws.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 Accessories

CPU

Samsung decided to install the best central processor for mobile devices, which is called Snapgradon 820. For users from Europe and Russia, models with Samsung from Samsung - Exynos 8890 will be provided. He received custom high-performance Mongoose kernels. Thanks to the new technical processor, the processor has become fast, cold and economical.

Graphic adapter

The video adapter of this gadget, as the processor is one of the best and calmly copes with all game news. For maximum performance in Samsung Galaxy S7, the MALI-T880 MP12 from ARM is installed. The new video adapter is 80% faster than the one that is installed in Galaxy S6. The performance level in games overtakes even the iPhone 6S indicators.

RAM and internal drive

Developers decided not to make special changes in the accumulative subsystem of the device. RAM as it was 4 GB in Galaxy S6, and remained in the novelty. Its volume is enough for all tasks performed on the smartphone.

Samsung decided to return the ability to install a Micro-SD drive. The developers say that at least the internal memory of the UFS 2.0 memory and is much faster than the usual "flash drive", but an additional removable drive can be useful in some situations.

For the storage of important data is provided for as many as 32 GB. In addition, the memory can be expanded using a Micro-SD card up to 200 GB.

Additional modules

No less important for a good smartphone is the possibility of reliable wireless communication. Samsung Galaxy S7 has one of the best Wi-Fi and 4G modules. Data transfer rate at the highest level.

Also, on the new model, it was possible - relaying a Wi-Fi signal. The user will be able to use his gadget as a mobile router.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 cameras

The main feature of its main chamber is Dual Pixel technology. The speed of working with photos is a great. The user can instantly focus the lens and take a photo. Delays and hanging when shooting is not observed.
