The water-resistant Galaxy S7 and S7 edge feature a moisture sensor in the USB port

I beginning to be jealousy of S7 edge owners. This phone still has about 2-3 weeks to be available in my country. Can anyone tells me if it is really a dual Sim hybrid?

Yes it is, confirmed it with a Samsung rep. He said the SIM tray would be way too big if it wasnt hybrid since it would mean accomodating 3 different holes!

It does support dual sim? I thought it was sim/sd card only, not sim/sim.
Guess I'm about to cancel my sd card pre order.

I just looked it up but there is a single sim version and a dual sim version. So the standard S7 (edge) won't feature dual sim

Mine has yet to break, 2 yr later, but... I rarely open it with wireless charging... that being said, I'll be happy to not have it.

Its not wireless according to the experts. There is an invisble cord connected to the phone so the answer is no.

It's wireless because you don't have to plug anything into it. Yes the proximity has to be close to the charger. I'm sure people that have wireless chargers in the cars don't feel there's a wire going to their phone. No matter how good the tech gets there will always be a proximity distance to the charger for it to work. You're entitled to your opinion(propaganda) though.

According a few of Android experts and Apple experts on PA. Asvlong as the wire exist, there are no wireless charging.

12. Subie (Posts: 2157; Member since: 01 Aug 2015)

But it's not plugged into the phone.

yeah right its all a big lie... wireless earbud isnt wireless since you need to plug cable to charge its battery. 4G also isnt wireless, since 4G BTS tower have gazillion cable connected to it. satellite isnt wireless since signal transmitter/reciever on earth connected to lots of cables...

I know. For them, the next contactless iPhone charger is the real wireless charger. Even thought in their homes, wire does still exists. Am I too dumb or are they too smart?

Those are ridiculous analogies... Wireless earbuds need not to be connected to the phone with a wire while in actual USE. The phone does not need to be attached to a cell tower to have cellular connectivity (sounds ridiculous). Satellites do not need to be attached to the ground station on the ground to be able to transmit a signal (sounds even more ridiculous). Hence, they are wireless. The phone needs to have CONTACT with a charging station (which is connected to a power source with a wire) to utilize induction charging, so basically wired charging.

So you intend to charge in a sauna?

Dampness and moisture is in almost everywhere in the air (there is no 100% dry air), so -of course- that sensor could detect many levels of moisture and decide If It should block the charging or not.

If you're keeping it around much longer, get a wireless charging back and wireless charger. With those two things I rarely open my port and I'm still on the original ~2 yr later.

Yup, after the S pen issue last year they want their bases covered as best as possible.

Its not even an issue. Its because of dumb people

24. Subie (Posts: 2157; Member since: 01 Aug 2015)

Whether is was the fault of Samsungs design or just "dumb people" as you say, it was still an issue. Please look up the definition of the word issue. Here is the definition from the Cambridge dictionary: "a ​subject or ​problem that ​people are ​thinking and ​talking about"!
