Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: World's Most Awesome Flagship Now Available Unlocked In USA [VIDEO]
Samsung has announced some good news for its fans on Thursday, especially those who hate getting phones that are cluttered with apps from U.S. carriers. According to Samsung, it would start offering unlocked versions of its two flagship devices, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, to U.S. customers through Samsung's online store, Amazon, Best buy, eBay Sam's Club and Target.
In a lot of ways, unlocked smartphones are better than their counterparts that are released from U.S. carriers. For one, unlocked phones do not come with a 2-year contract. Plus, they come with a default set of apps that do not include those annoying bloatware that carriers usually place on mobile devices.
Apart from these advantages, unlocked phones also work regardless of what carrier users are under. Thus, the unlocked Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge is compatible with all U.S. carriers, including CDMA firms such as Verizon and Sprint.
However, unlocked devices are also usually very expensive. True to form, the unlocked versions of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge also require some deep pockets, with the S7 costing $670 and the S7 Edge being sold for $100 more, at $770.
Samsung assured its fans that the unlocked phones would feature the exact same specs as their locked counterparts. Just like the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge devices that are released through U.S. carriers, the unlocked phones feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM and advanced 12MP cameras.
The units are also water resistant, and are equipped with quick charge technology and wireless charging. Also, the devices would fully support Samsung Pay and come equipped with full warranties from Samsung.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge have garnered much praise since the devices were released earlier this year. Gaining almost universal acclaim from critics and users worldwide, the devices are widely considered the best Android smartphones in the market today.
