For the S7, Samsung listened to our S6 feedback

[drone3]

Don't have any reviews yet, and can't tell how the software performs, but it seems Samsung had listened to our feedback. Here are some great improvements over the S6.

Bigger Battery!!!
SD Card!
Smaller camera hump
Water resistant
Better camera in low light and faster auto focus.
Better ergonomics , beveled back.

The only thing that I think annoys me is there is no IR blaster, and no USB C.

Any other improvements on the S6 you guys would have liked?

Nothing, really.

Maybe a prettier UX out of the box but that's about it.

The S7 improved on everything the S6 didn't shine so brightly on and also improved on its strengths while maintaining the fact that this is a phone and that it does things a smartphone does really well.

In short, it's a very worthy successor

Yeh I fully agree.

But, just thought of another thing I would add - front facing speakers.

Did they listen to our feedback or the audio files the S6 records without permission?

They didn't change the CRAP antenna the S6 had on the S7 that uses the Samsung Exynos SoC.
They are still using the CRAP flexible PCB (FPCB) tech that they started using in the S6 that lead to MANY signal issues
