We all agree that the Samsung Galaxy S7 has a new camera, new processora whirlpool bath, new battery and until a new water-resistant design Regarding the Samsung Galaxy S6. But what about its screen? Is there one? screen improvements of the Samsung Galaxy S7? Well yes, there are, and the truth is that the few improvements The ones that exist are sufficient.
The best mobile screen on the market
At the very least, this new screen helps the Samsung Galaxy S7 to be considered by DisplayMateThe Samsung Galaxy S7, a benchmark in screen analysis, was considered the phone with the best screen on the market. Of course, this wasn't entirely accurate, given that the previous best phone was the Samsung Galaxy S6, and logically, the Galaxy S7 wasn't going to be any worse.
Conversely, there are some improvements with respect to the previous mobile phone. The main one is the sunlight readability or the screen's visibility under direct sunlight. When using a mobile phone outdoors, screen visibility is much more challenging than indoors, but it's true that the Samsung Galaxy S7 seems to have improved compared to the Samsung Galaxy S6.
But in addition, it has also improved automatic brightness modulation system from the screen, reaching the 885 nitsKeep in mind that the phone will be able to shine even brighter with this mode active than if you adjust the brightness manually. This is because the screen brightness level can always reach higher in automatic mode than in manual mode. When you go outside, the phone will know it needs to increase the brightness level and will set the screen brightness to maximum.
Apart from what has already been mentioned, the screen has different picture modes to improve its quality. The standard mode, the AMOLED Photo mode, and the Adaptive Display mode. While the second aims to represent colors with all the precision possible and the color temperature, something great for the photographersThe last mode saturates the colors so that the screen has a more vivid colors, an effect that has always been characteristic of screens with AMOLED technology, but which in this case is done on purpose.
Panel technology and outdoor brightness
Both devices share a Super AMOLED panel 5,1-inch resolution Quad HD (2560 x 1440)The pixel density is equivalent, but the S7 optimizes the automatic brightness curve and contrast management, resulting in significantly superior visibility in exterior and under intense sunlight. They are also noticeable more realistic colors in calibrated modes and improved color stability at different angles.
Another subtle improvement is the glare reduction apparent and the light sensor responseIt reacts faster when changing from a dark to a very bright environment. For multimedia consumption and gaming, the improvement is noticeable in HDR scenes and content with many shadows, where the S7 better maintains fine detail without washing out the deep blacks characteristic of AMOLED displays.
Always-On Display and user experience
The Galaxy S7 introduces Always‑On Display, a function that shows hour, notifications and basic information without fully turning on the screen. Its impact on battery life is minimal and allows you to check data at a glance. This feature, combined with the increased Energy Efficiency The panel provides a more practical experience in everyday life.
If we consider the S7 Edge, the curvature and the larger panel size amplifies the feeling of immersion and improve the readability of quick access buttons on the edge. In both the flat and Edge models, the S7's screen is better suited for virtual reality and extended video consumption, thanks to peak brightness and motion handling in fast scenes.
Glass protection and durability
In addition to the leap in brightness and visibility, the S7 incorporates a glass protection more advanced than that of the S6, with better resistance to scratches and accidental bumps. Combined with the IP68 certification The device's screen is better protected from everyday situations such as splashes or rain, keeping the panel's quality intact over time.
Color adjustments, resolution, and extra modes
Los picture modes The S7 further refines the calibration already present in the S6. Those who want fidelity can opt for more neutral profiles (ideal for editing or reviewing photos), while those who prefer visual impact have profiles with greater saturationAdditionally, the system allows you to adjust the effective resolution to prioritize autonomy when maximum detail is not needed, while maintaining the perceived sharpness in everyday use.
All of this, added to the brightness management At 885 nits in automatic mode, the Always-On function and glass protection, the Galaxy S7 offers a package that provides superior screen experience compared to the S6, without changing the size and resolution recipe that already worked.
For those who value reading outdoors, watching series, and playing with intense colors and deep blacks, the S7's panel represents a clear step forward: it maintains the definition of the S6 but adds better readabilityPlus peak brightness, useful features such as Always-On and more robust protection, reinforcing its position as one of the best screens in its category.
