The display on this machine is 5.1-inches diagonally with Quad-HD (2K) (2560 x 1440 pixel) resolution. Under the hood you'll find 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. There's also a microSD card slot that can hold a card up to 200GB large.

The cameras on this device is 12MP (dual-pixel) with LED flash, autofocus, and f/1.7 aperture. That's on the backside. On the frontside you'll be working with the same sort of aperture with 5MP shooting.

Above and below you'll find the three color versions of this device – wildly different from one another. The green camo and sand colors are not available as original Galaxy S7 units – the gray is very similar to the gray you can get with the original Galaxy S7.
