Five reasons not to buy Samsung's new Galaxy S7

Because all the publications currently circulating claim that Samsung's new Galaxy S7 is a must-have device, we decided that there should be a counterargument. galaxy s7

Almost all articles dealing with the Galaxy S7 only mention the positives of the device, proving that Samsung's huge marketing machine is really doing a very good job.

Below we will list five disadvantages of Samsung's new smartphone, the ones we consider the most important (if you think of anything else, you can add it in the comments).

The first thing you should know about the Galaxy S7 is that Samsung decided not to use the latest technologies in its device. So the device does not come with the new USB Type-C port that other major mobile phone manufacturers are using.

This means that the Galaxy S7 comes with the old and much slower microUSB 2.0 port.

The second drawback is that the Galaxy S7 comes with a non-removable battery. While it has a slightly larger battery (3000 mAh) than the Galaxy S6, many people prefer to be able to swap batteries on the go.

It seems Samsung thought this issue would be solved by adding wireless and fast charging to the Galaxy S7. But here comes the third reason why you shouldn't buy Samsung's flagship.

Surprisingly, the Galaxy S7 comes with Quick Charge 2.0 and not 3.0. The latter is 38% more efficient than Quick Charge 2.0 and twice as fast as the original version of the wireless charging technology.

But let's get to the point: If you use your fingerprint scanner to unlock your phone, you'll probably be disappointed to hear that the Galaxy S7's fingerprint sensor hasn't improved at all over the previous model.

The fifth drawback we've found is the lack of spare storage. The cheapest model comes with 32GB of storage, but system files and Samsung's bloatware use up 8GB, leaving you with just 24GB.

If you want more storage, you can add an SD card, but you won't be able to install apps and games on it. You can store pictures, videos, and other files.

The Adoptable Storage feature that comes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow could help with this, but Samsung didn't include it in the Galaxy S7.

We could mention other disadvantages. If you want to add something, you can leave your comment.
