It is through them that we learned of a new feature headed for the Galaxies — a resolution switcher hidden inside the phone's settings! The toggle allows users to pick one of three modes for the display — HD (720 x 1280), FHD (1080 x 1920), and QHD (1440 x 2560). Yes, we've seen this menu before — it was on the Note 7. But since it's, sadly, gone now, the S7 twins are the phones that will carry Sammy's new battery-saving feature.
