Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F 32GB 4G White - smartphones (Single SIM, Android, NanoSIM, GSM, HSPA+, LTE)

Ideal phone for the little mount i use a mobile.

When i bought this it was no longer the latest model but when released it was the flagship model for Samsung and it shows as it has all of the features one could get at the time. Also since it was out-of-production this one for sale appears to have been designated for sale in the Middle East but it worked fine in Europe too. I had purchased it to upgrade from the Samsung S3 i previously had and was at first not totally at one with the S7 as the touchscreen seemed less sensitive than the S3 plus the newer Android version moved/hid functions/menus & changed terminologies (as most OS upgrades do for some reason). But in time i got used to it and found this phone to be very capable as i only retired it this year (2025) mainly due to the battery not lasting - which is pretty good it lasted for 6 years from purchase, and likely manufactured a couple of years before - and not being 5G compatible and wanting a better camera, and also wear of connection ports. But it's only when you come to replace something that you come to realise not only how good it was but also how the newest tech isn't always 'better'! When trying to match the features of the S7 (headphone jack, SD card, no "hole" in screen) with current models the only one that came close has been the Sony Xperia models, however this model along with Android 15 are missing key things such as Voice recorder and being able to do Panoramic photos without unlocking the phone or even in landscape orientation! Also new phones are a bit oversized. Things i like about the Samsung Galaxy S7: - Size: it fits and can be easily used & handled in one hand, especially texting, scrolling, taking quick photos, plus fits in most pockets and wireless charging cradles especially in older cars like late 2010's BMW. - Weight: for it's size maybe of average weight, but still so much lighter than modern phones of today. - Screen quality is great! Very clear and max res of WQHD 2560x1440 - many new phones only go FHD-1080! (when doing this review finding even more functionality on this device!) Also being 16:9 ratio means it's better suitable for more video content instead of leaving blank side borders. - Front auxiliary physical button - THIS was the reason i hunted it down and bought it out of production as the S3 had this feature - it was great to use to instantly wake the camera for quick photo with any hand, also perfect to exit apps or return to home where sometimes touchscreen buttons don't work or easily accidentality touched, whereas u have to PRESS this. - Micro SD card slot. - Nano size SIM card slot. - 3.5mm headphone jack. - Battery life was good (originally). - Never had a problem with 3G signal strength and WiFi was fine but didn't reach as far an my laptop. - LED indicator light for notifications when screen was off. - Upgraded to Android 8.0 which has a lot of functionality, able to navigate through menus & settings and good font. - Wireless charging! (which i only found by accident 3 years later!) - Design pleasing to look at & hold even with a case on - like the dark metallic blue colour. - Front glass & main frame are tough. - The single camera lens is centrally located of top of back of phone and once a case is fitted it doesn't protrude like some modern 'phones, and the image quality is very decent for a 12MP phone-size sensor and the software allows RAW images to be shot as well as manual functionality when shooting and image & video post-processing. - Rear LED when used for a torch was very bright with a good spread compared with other phones of the time. - Twin microphones. - Waterproof functionality. - Bluetooth worked fine with a multitude of devices. Never tried NFC. Things i didn't like so much: - Fragile glass back cracked-up easily and not sure when or why as i had case on it. - Front 'selfie' camera resolution was low and not great focus function (if any!). - Optical zoom function was desired. - Because of slightly rounded screen edges, even on this flatter non "Edge" version, a glass screen protector didn't work as it popped-off especially when fitting a case. However a plastic screen protector has worked just fine for years! - Screen was bright enough for most situations except full sunlight. - The single external speaker located at the bottom of the phone was often not loud enough. - MicroUSB charging port was compatible with many other devices at the time but not so much now and wear could be an issue (but is USB-C or iPhone things really any more resilient?). - Not 5G compatible. I know the S7 could do 4G but not sure if i got that one as the old SIM in mine is still 3G! - This one had 32GB of onboard storage space which was fairly limited even back then as it soon fills-up (my new Sony phone uses 32GB just on the bare-bones OS from new!!). I'm sure i'll think/find of other things later. I'd actually give it FOUR & A HALF stars as it's not "perfect" but actually i would say it's closer than one would think as i do actually think it to be PEAK smartphone in terms of functionality, usability & style.

This must of been the most disapointing purchase I've ever made in my life. I thought it would be nice to upgrade from my old Samsung S6 as I had it a few years so decided to order a S7. My last 3 phones were Samsung ones and have always being a reliable phone. Anyway my purchase of the S7 started well and the transfer of Phone data went smoothly. The next day the phone was frozen as I was out in town and I could not restart as it never got past the start up "Samsung Galaxy S7" screen. It took at least 3 hours before it decided to unfreeze. That evening did an operating system update hoping it would resolve the issue. The next day the phone froze yet again for a few hours, later in the evening and went through Samsung online helpline (who where very helpful) to try and run the phone in "safe mode" but it was freezing on that to, in the end of my ordeal they said its the hardware and will have to be sent back for inspection. I am very dissapointed that for such and expensive high grade phone it's totaly useless, this is the sort of thing I would expect from a cheap phone for £14.99 form the local supermarket not from a £425 one!!!! If I would give this 0 stars if the review allowed it.

Love the phone. Updated from a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini which I'd had for a long time, so ready for something new. Nice & fast to use, a clear & responsive screen with great colours. Needed an update via wifi out of the box, then transfered almost everything from my old phone via the NFC function. Happy overall with everything, just learning to use it now! It has much more software than my old phone which needs sorting into useful & not. The ONLY bugbear is that I don't seem to be able to move my icons around the screen like my old phone, by holding then moving. It seems to have a very longwinded way of moving them around. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? Also, I have 2 ringtones which were downloaded many years ago for my 2 favourite contacts which haven't transfered & I can't find which folder holds then in my old Samsung to send them across to the new one. Overall, happy with my new toy...... now how to drive it?

Supplied by HandyGlobal through Amazon.co.uk Market Place without a UK charger plug (£10 to buy one from Amazon!). The email receipt is in German. The handset is excellent and hugely faster and more responsive than my old S3, also battery life seems much better so far (but it's not user replaceable). Two reservations - it is very slippery; I have invested in a gel case as I was really nervous of it slipping out of my hand (the S3 was the same) - the registration process on the Samsung website is incompetent to an astonishing degree! The Model Number is required to do anything and the model number on the sticker on the back and in Settings is incomplete so you can never complete online registration! I had to email for help and a very helpful reply from a Samsung employee advises that she has registered it for me, as she can find the model number from the Serial Number I supplied; why ever can't the website do that for us?

Gorgeous crafted smartphone. There is nothing much to say that people will not already know so I just want to say a few minuses that are my opinion. The phone felt tall for me as I prefer the smaller phone and battery life varies everyday. Battery life is always subjective mainly due to what apps people use but somedays were good and somedays it felt like battery was going down quite fast. Else this phone has the lot and micro sd support is one of them. The audio through headphone is lots clear and dynamic compared o my Sony Z5 Compact and I like the way the white version shows all the sensors on the front whereas black hides them. Gorgeous screen fully flexible as Android is compared to crippled IOS there is basically nothing wrong with the S7.

Good phone but I have had great problems in charging it. The first one I had lasted eight months before the battery died and the phone was unusable. I contacted the seller through Amazon and, to their credit, they agreed to refund me, even though it was long past the 30-day deadline. I then bought the same model again as it suits my needs perfectly. However, this one started to display recharging problems in only three weeks. Charging is a hit-and-miss affair - sometimes it will charge fully, at other times not at all, even when left all night on charge. I shall give it a week more before deciding whether to return it. I contacted Samsung, who said that as the model was introduced in 2016, the batteries could well have degraded. Really? In that case they had no business in allowing dealers to sell these phones. Will not buy another if I do return it.
