The problem with the feature is that it requires the memory card to be formatted first and then encrypted, before it starts behaving like internal memory. Both come with Quick Charge 3.0 support which promises to charge 83% in 30 minutes.
Samsung's new and improved Galaxy S7 smartphone will enter the market in two weeks' time to take on Apple's iPhone 6s.
Samsung is also making the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge more enticing by giving out the Samsung Gear VR as a bonus to those who would pre-order any of the two between February 23 to March 18. The Galaxy S7 Edge sports a somewhat bigger 5.5-inch QHD Super AMOLED panel, compared to the Galaxy S7's 5.1-inch display. The S7 Edge comes out with a 5.5 inched screen and a 3600mAh battery.
He said as far as storage is concerned, the Galaxy S7 Edge is equipped with a microSD card slot that can host up to 200GB of expandable storage, as well as, a hybrid SIM card tray with dual SIM card slots.
One feature that has returned to Samsung's flagship is microSD support, something that was missing from the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note 5. The current IP68 rating allows the Samsung Galaxy S7 to stay submerged in 1.5 meters of water for up to 30mins. It will still be up to the phone owner how he will use storage or in which mode.
"With adoptable storage, first of all the card may be erased the first time it is inserted into the device".
The Galaxy S7 looks quite similar with the Galaxy S6 and even if this could sound negative, we remind you that this device was one of the most "desired" smartphones in 2015.
Once the feature is turned on, the microSD card is merged with the existing internal storage of the device running Android Marshmallow, extending the device's capacity to install as many apps as possible. This is likely not going to appeal to heavily storage users but that's how it's going to be. This behavior may be unanticipated by several users and the company does not want its users to lose their files (pictures, videos).
