Apple's iPhone 6s (452 nits), Huawei's Mate 8 (445 nits) and Google's Nexus 6P (337 nits) were all dimmer than the S7 in our tests.
That didn't really impact outdoor visibility, with the exception of the always-on display, which can sometimes be hard to see in direct sunlight. We found that the S7 has a peak brightness of 487 nits, which is a little dimmer than the S6's brightness of 521 nits. When I watched the trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the S7's screen exploded with rich, fiery oranges and cool, electric blues. When watching movies, you still get those true inky blacks and vivid, saturated colors. But with the phone's pretty limited selection of backgrounds, formats and colors, I'm hoping that Samsung adds some more options in the future. I really like the S7's ability to change what you see on the always-on display. Because displaying blacks on an AMOLED display draws literally zero electricity, Samsung says the always-on feature drains only about 1 percent of the S7's battery per hour, although it can also be disabled entirely if you so desire.
So if you rely on your smartphone to tell the time, you no longer need to unlock the phone just to get a peek at the clock. On the S7, Samsung added an always-on feature that displays the time, date, battery and even a calendar at all times. That doesn't mean things have gone entirely unchanged, though. But the S6 boasted one of the best displays on any phone, so you can hardly fault Samsung for staying the course. One of the few things on the S7 that has stayed pretty much the same from the S6 is the phone's gorgeous 5.1-inch 2560 x 1440 quad-HD AMOLED display.

The S7 is also more compact than the S7 Edge, although Samsung has done a pretty good job of keeping the S7 Edge’s waistline to a minimum. Rutherford / Tom's Guide)Īt 5.36 ounces and 5.61 x 2.74 x 0.31 inches, the 5.1-inch S7 is slightly larger and heavier than the 5.04-ounce, 5.44 x 2.64 x 0.28-inch iPhone 6s (with a 4.7-inch screen), but the difference doesn’t feel as big as their screen sizes would imply.
