The Galaxy S7 takes up 8GB of internal storage out of the box

Samsung users have long made a fuss about the company pre-loading all kinds of bloatware on its devices that takes up a big chunk of the internal storage right out of the box. It got so bad that Samsung was actually sued in China for putting bloatware on its devices and it had to allow users in China to get rid of it. If you didn’t like that the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge don’t support Marshmallow’s rather useful Adoptable Storage feature...

The Galaxy S7 and S7 edge are the best of the best Samsung smartphones to have been announced in world history so far (though we’re sure the future looks even brighter than these beauties), but, as usual, the discussion among Android users remains the same, no matter how many “Galaxies” or TouchWiz iterations have come and gone.

[Poll] Anyone interested in a 4-inch or similar Galaxy S flagship?

This year, Samsung is changing things up and is offering its latest Galaxy S flagship in two different screen variants. One is a 5.1-inch device and the other a 5.5-inch Edge variant, with the latter being the first time the company is offering a flagship phablet with a 5.5-inch display since the Galaxy Note II. Right off the bat, this seemed like a way to counter Apple’s 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhones, and we certainly think it’s a good...

Now, two months later and a couple of weeks after the flagships unveiling, another report has surfaced...

The Galaxy S6 didn’t have a microSD slot because Samsung was concerned about performance issues

Samsung fans didn’t like it when the company removed the microSD slot from its flagships last year. All previous Galaxy S series handsets supported external memory expansion so it was a big change for the company.

That’s why it comes as a huge surprise to learn that the company hasn’t adopted the latest version of QuickCharge for its latest duo, the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge.
