I'm interested in buying this phone, but I don't really know if it's worth to buy it in 2017, I also have an option to buy Samsung Galaxy S7 but still, S6 edge looks way cooler, and also looks like it has a better camera. It's also much cheaper but I don't know if should buy this phone, does someone knows if this phone's as fast as S7?
Depends on your definition of better.
Cpu is not faster but they both feel extremely responsive.
I would not buy the s7 due to no IR blaster.
I have 128GB version so i care not for the lack of SD CARD.
Camera is a bit of a tricky one. I only like to take pics in 16:9, the S7 gets its max MP at a 4:3 aspect ratio. Low light is better on S7 but if thatis not important to you then I think the S6 edge 128GB is far superior to the S7 edge as it has more features that s7. Always on screen is irritating as I have had it on a custom rom and found that at night its still distracting while you sleep.

I'll be honest and it's just my opinion but my s6 edge is by far the best phone I have ever got. I would still buy this phone again in a few years time!
To me it feels just as responsive as the s7
Between this XA1's Helio P20 vs Samsung's Exynos 7870 (on the new Galaxy A3 2017) which you think would provide greater performance overall and leading to better battery life?
In terms of camera and speakers which one you think is better?
Compare my wife's XA1 with mine A3 (2017) in terms of performance, I see that XA1 reacts quicker in user commands (open applications).
I haven't compare battery life or something else.
Would be nice to compare the A3 2017 to something like the XA1 or Honor 6X or Huawei P10 Lite in camera, battery life (standby time, video playback or web browsing) please.
If anyone has these phones I would appreciate some feedback & comments. Thanks.
A3 is more compact so in my opinion not comparable and A3 has awesome battery life. Performance is little better on XA1 and camera is also better because A3 doesn't have image stabilisation.
But I don't like Xperia anymore because of so much trouble I had with multiple Xperia's, so Samsung is my favorite choice. In my opinion Samsung has better (bug free) software.
Build quality of A3 is top notch. It's just like a mini S7.
I have a Tab S3 right now, and I'm considering upgrading it to either S5e or S6.
All I care for is the display quality for watching movies and HDR content. I have read that they both have same screen, but S6 has HDR10+ certification? Can anyone confirm the difference between nits?
I have the Galaxy Tab S6 WiFi now 1 day.
One thing I saw is that compared to my Tab S4 the display of the S6 is a little less bright even with full HDR in use the S4 display is a bit brighter.
Testet it with a YouTube Video 1440p HDR10 in both Tabs at the same time.
So if you go just for the display then I would say don't upgrade from the Tab S4.
Edit: I can confirm that the Tab S4 and the Tab S6 have more nits then the Tab S3. But the king is still the Tab S4 on that..
I have s6 one day, before had s5e few months.
New tab has only 2 screen profiles compared to Samsung classic 4 modes.
Subjectivity, natural mode is excellent white balanced and calibrated. Beter then s5e which goes to red white. S4 I never owned and s3 was maybe best calibrated. S2 9.7 also was good. Subjectivity.
Of course, measurements must say that.
Sharpness is superb, maybe little better then s5e, but very similar screens.
Unfortunately, I sold s5e before got this. Direct compare would say all.
Someone will post that probably on YouTube
Just to make you aware that not all display you'll get be the same. The guy who mentioned his S4 having a brighter screen might just have a bad batch screen. Plus he's not using anything to accurately measure it. My S6 comes today, so I'll see how it is.
Hello everyone
I was wondering if the camera is identical on the S10 Lite model compared to the full fat Samsung Galaxy S10? or if the S10 will still be better?
Thank you.
well i have s10 plus
and wide angle has 16 mp, one of the most important features of the new s10 series
while the new one all 12
also stabilization is better
the only benefit of lite is it is sharper when zooming in, and snapdragon takes slightly sharper pictures
but, the regular s10s are all more expensive than the new ones, so....
i know mp not so important, but manufacturers should at least do 16 to 19 mp cameras,
No, not even close. The camera sensor on S10 Lite is the same as mid range A51 and it has a narrow aperture to boot. I haven't seen any benefits of the super steady OIS that mitigate these shortcomings.

thank you both for your replies but.... completely mixed responses here : S
My pixel 2xl touch ability suddenly stopped.
So decided s10 lite is a good choice for snapdragon 855, screen size, amoled and a good branded price.
I hate the camera on s10 lite.
I mean it should not be called a camera at all.
Omg I hate it so much I am thinking of replacing the lcd of the pixel 2 xl even though it will cost me almost 140 euro.
Dont buy it if the 48 megabytes camera supersteady shot attract you, it's rubbish.

Why don’t you try gcam?
https://gcamhub.com/download-google-camera-7-2-for-samsung-s10-lite-with-astrophotography/
Has anyone tried Gcam for s10 lite? Does it improve quality as expected?
With the S10 series getting some S20 camera features, S10 Lite is not mentioned in the press release.
Hi All,
I'm currently using Tab S4, but I want to switch to S7 11 inches. As we all know there is a LCD display.
Generally AMOLED is better, but do I see big difference between these two? I could order S7+, but it is just too big for me.
Can you please advise? I don't want to be disappointed every time I look on my new tablet.
Thanks
personally i would go amoled anyday. lcd the blacks will look dark grey.
Accustomed to the AMOLED display now going back to a LCD... eeh. Since i like having most of my stuff in dark mode anyways, the AMOLED will be considerably better on battery life for me. Even it being slightly bigger (1" x .5" roughly) vs the S4.... 12.4" screen imo would be worth it. I'm looking forward to the S7+ myself!
Going from tab s4 to the s7 plus screen is seriously impressive.
The screen with 120hz is the best I have ever seen.
I use my S4 as a huge google maps / waze GPS when in the car, is the S7+ screen outside the legal limits if you get pulled over? I think 11 inches is the largest screen you are allowed to have ( United States)
I have both the Tab S 7 and the S7+.
Avoid the S7 as the screen looks terrible, dull and pixelated. It doesn't even hold a candle to the screen of the Tab S3.
In contrast the S7+ screen looks glorious.
I had the tab s4, s5e and recently picked up the regular tab s7. During regular use, I would say there's not a huge difference, but the viewing angles are a little better on the amoled screens. If you watch content in low light, you will notice that the blacks aren't as inky black....but on my amoled screens, I get a bit of black crush/banding when displaying greys at low brightnesses.
I would say that using it is a much better experience than the tab S4, if you include the keyboard case. It makes it much closer to an actual 2-1 device compared to the prior generatios.
No comparison s7 lcd is crap compared to s4 and s6 ambled. S7 plus screen is fantastic. If you want lcd buy an ipad
I have not used other tablets but own the note 9. I didn't expect the LCD to look great after all the reviews. Thankfully I have been surprised by how much I like it. I am drawing, gaming and content and the only thing I wish it included was the keyboard and the themes store. I will get the keyboard later. 11" 120Hz screen is very nice. Having the 5g version this will be a really fun tablet.
Have you people actually used the S7? I have the S7+ but I've used the 11" S7 and it's a really really nice screen. I can't imagine the S4 looks better. Do not be afraid to buy the S7 if it's the form factor you want.
Please stop telling people the S7 screen looks good compared to amoled. If it were true samsung would have put the new LCD on both models and we wouldn't see every flagship phone even from apple starting to use OLED. If you don't care about vibrance and aren't using for media then the s7 is probably fine for you, but that does not mean the screen is as good as OLED, it just means you don't care. There simply are no LCDs that compare to OLED, phone, tablet or TV. The s7 has a well made "nice" looking LCD, the s7+(and S6, S4, S3, S2) have beautiful AMOLED displays and samsung should be ashamed.

I don't think anyone is saying that. I think the point is to compare the Tab S4 screen to the Tab S7. The S7 has a higher resolution than the S4 and is a really really good screen for not being AMOLED.

yup
The next marketing victim.
Simply go to wikipedia or ask s.o. with knowledge. But avoid sponsored reviewers on YouTube living from the stuff they present.
OLED are great for average usage. Biggest advantage: pitch dark blacks and strong contrasts as well as saturation.
Biggest down-side: uneven decay by color over lifetime. -> strongest color shift, burn-in effect...
LCD can be much brighter, have the highest color accuracy and stability, but lack the OLED high saturation and contrasts. Hence, blacks are not really dark.
It always come to the use case.
You wanna play, watch movies, use many apps. Great: OLED is for you. Most people even do not keep their devices longer than 2 years, so burn- in will not appear. Even my 3.5 years old s8 phone have not a really notable burn-in. And for the color shift I care by adjustments the rgb levels.
You want a working device, showing all day long office, use it as a display mount on a wall, showing static areas: OLED will have burn-in within less of a year.
That is the reason you will not find OLEDs in offices, not to talk from company's relying in color accuracy.
There's a reason, companies like Samsung spend billions in developing new techniques like Q-\Micro-LED.
Finally: the s7 has a really great LCD, superior to most others LCD devices. In contrast to OLEDs, it lacks perfect blacks and oversatturation. Does it fall behind professional monitors? Not really - but every OLED will.
If color accuracy is a thing for you? Go for the s7, especially you do not like the bigger size of the s7+. If perfect black and strong contrast is your thing, take the s7+, but remember the mentioned draw backs of OLEDs.
Of course LCD can be brighter, they just put in brighter edge or back lighting at which point your color accuracy and consistency across the device goes to crap. This is one reason why anyone who calibrates an LCD TV set's base brightness quite low.
Either way I'm done arguing, the one thing that was said that is correct is "go see them for yourself" don't believe anyone here(including me) which screen is better for you.
Everyone sees differently. I don't see any colors the same as others do so the S7 screen looks great. Not better and certainly not any less then any OLED I have looked at.
I barely touch my note 9 these days. Love the screen size etc for gaming and watching movies in bed.
I don't know where people learnt that AMOLEDs are better, they are worse than LCD: Amoleds has little more details in black with blacker blacks at the cost of having less dynamic range with burned highlights (false high contrast illusion, for a high contrast to be high you need details in shadow and highlights), and the worse thing you will find in any Amoled is PWM that is not present in the S7 LCD (point your cell camera in super slow motion to an Amoled screen and see what you get in any Amoled/Oled brand...), there is a reason why the specs of high end monitors says NO PWM, thus for a tablet is important not to have AMOLED if you don't want eye strain or other health issues as the time pass.
When I bought my Tab S7 was because of the LCD display, speed and audio output, last week I used it to sign a contract very well in the place of my turtle Onyx Boox Note (I don't use often the pen but is very responsive, the Onyx feels more like a paper but the screen is prone to scratches); I had Amoleds before in tablets and were horrible for my eyes and I don't like the burned highlights. I have been using the S7 for a month and I'm very happy with my choice and I use much less my S10+ (I hope Samsung will release smartphones with LCD and not curved screens...)
I don't see any reason why in a tablet someone should use Amoled.

Please stop telling people that amoled is god made. S6 screens are full of wobble. S4 and lower were oversaturated and settings couldn't be really changed. All "benifit" of amoled was there in saturation and non existent accuracy. Once saturation removed there was no real difference between lcd aside high propensity to burn depending on usage and blinking individual pixels. I am not saying that lcd is better but definitely not as much worse as you kije trying to shill about godlike amoled, but sung is always doesn't know what the hell they are doing. They doing whatever without understanding, everytime new variety of terrible obviously stupid decision.

If someone should consider color accuracy at all levels of brightness (Amoleds as the brighness goes up, the colors are totally off), dynamic range and health, LCDs with no PWM are by long much better than Oleds, the only advantage of Oleds are the deep blacks, lets wait for the minileds if they will have PWM or not.
By the way, all of my phones are and were amoled, my televisions are Oled and all have the nefarious PWM (LG say they don't but is a lie, I checked them with my camera) but I rarely watch them.
What about your laptop?... did you checked PWM before buying it or did you only check battery life, CPU and memory? Most of the laptops has tremendous PWM that is really bad to your eyes, but nobody is talking about this...
Why Apple and other brands put Amoled in their phones? because of consumerism, Samsung marketing (LG for Oled TVs) tried to convince hard the public for lot of years that the deep blacks is the way to go but they didn't explain at what cost including your health.
Tab s7 also has PWM according to notebookcheck review
