Samsung Galaxy S7 edge

Unfortunately, Samsung's camera software on the S7 has a weakness: after launching the camera, system screen rotation added a delay before a photo could be taken.
This is because the app did not lock screen rotation right after launching, and it first launches in vertical orientation, so if you wanted to photograph or film horizontally (as everyone should), the screen rotation added a delay of roughly a second.
After you launch the camera while holding the phone horizontally, you need to wait for the system screen rotation to switch to horizontal. It's sad Samsung overlooked such a simple thing. Additionally, screen rotation is not locked while recording a video.
On 2014 flagships (S5, Note 4), system screen rotation was locked while recording a video, and on 2013 flagships (S4, Note 3), the camera only launched in horizontal orientation, as it should. I am guessing the developers at Samsung created the camera software from scratch and overlooked this. Or maybe different people were at work.
This is thankfully fixed in more recent versions where not only the screen rotation but the UI elements are locked and do not rotate while recording a video, so the user is signalled if the video is saved in the wrong orientation. Looks like Samsung noticed their oopsie after some time.
Another error Samsung made on the S7 (the S6 got this too with Android 6.0 update): If the phone's proximity sensors (both on the front and rear sides) detected that the phone is in a pocket, the camera app showed a pop-up message that read "Camera has been opened via quick launch".
This pop-up got in the way of actually taking a photo or video, so it defeated the benefit that quick launch had. If you closed this pop-up by tapping the background or the "return" button right to the home button, the camera app would close. This prevented the camera from being launched while the phone is still in the pocket.
Thankfully, Samsung came to their senses and eventually got rid of this nonsense.
Another undocumented observation: The S7 can take burst shots with roughly 20 full-resolution pictures per second, which was a massive speed improvement over the S6. Each burst sequence is limited to 100 pictures, compared to 30 on the S6. However, burst shots are slowed down in lower light and disabled in very low light. This is necessary because less light requires longer exposure times.

First time seeing this phone from the music video of The Chainsmokers and Daya's "Don't Let Me Down". This was also time when Samsung's Exynos chipset was more superior than the contemporary Qualcomm's Snapdragon chipset.

This phone was released in 2016, and I bought mine second-hand in 2018. That means this phone presumably has been working for 8 years. 8 years with the same battery, I've dropped it multiple times, the back glass is shattered, I have to hit the camera for it to start focusing but the thing just keeps on going. Even now, 8 years later, the performance is more than enough. I don't play games and the apps I use like reddit, youtube, browser, google maps and others are snappy, and there are no bugs. It is crazy to think how people are trained to change their phone regularly, yet there clearly is no actual need.

finally got one of these, i love it. although mine is the Exynos variant, it still performs well on the very bloated One UI. the camera is great and the screen is better than my Pixel 7s. only complaint is the storage, but if you get an SD card youll be fine

Got a hand on this phone 2024, can say that it's still worth it even though it's only android 8/Oreo. Not that fast anymore but atleast more decent than most budget phones of today if you don't mind the android version

157 grams, lighter than any Galaxy S released since 2020. And that despite it being a large phone. And 3600 mAh is nothing to scoff at either. I don’t like how the batteries suddenly ballooned so much in size which made the resulting devices much heavier. It‘s a good thing for longevity but it seems like ergonomics have been completely neglected. I‘d rather them grow slower while keeping weights around 150 grams instead of around 200 grams.
