Samsung announced the Galaxy S7 family in February this year and the device has been available in stores and online for a number of weeks now. Their latest Galaxy S flagship device is based around either the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 or Samsung Exynos 8890 System-on-Chips, paired up with 4 GB of RAM and at least 32 GB of internal storage, plus a MicroSD card slot for customers to add at least another 200 GB of storage. The Galaxy S7 includes a 1440p, or 2,560 by 1,440 pixel resolution, 5.1-inch Samsung AMOLED panel, a 12MP rear camera with improved low light performance, a 3,000 mAh battery including high speed wired charging, wireless charging and high speed wireless charging with the right Samsung wireless charger. This Galaxy runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow under Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface and is constructed from a combination of glass and metal. The Galaxy S7 is marginally thicker than the 2015 Samsung Galaxy flagship, the S6, but has a much larger internal battery.
This week, HTC are starting to ship their new 2016 flagship device, the HTC 10. It’s around and about this time that other manufacturers or resellers start to either reduce their prices or include freebies with their flagship to help sales when customers might otherwise be distracted by a newly released device. For Samsung and Costco, their latest offer includes bundling a 32-inch Samsung HD TV with the Galaxy S7 – but customers also benefit from a portable 5,200 mAh battery charger and a $25 Costco discount card to use in store. The television on offer is a modest set; it is 32-inch across the diagonal but 720p in resolution; the Galaxy S7 smartphone has four times as many pixels in a much more compact design! However, the television is free but in order to quality, it appears that customers will need to buy the Galaxy S7 using a device installment plan. The television must be returned if the Galaxy S7 is returned, as presumably will the $25 Costco gift card and 5,200 mAh portable battery charger. Nevertheless, if you are interested in picking up the Galaxy S7, this could be an enticing deal. The offer is set to run for most of May, so customers have plenty of time to decide.
