It is through them that we learned today of a new feature headed for the Galaxies — an options menu within Settings that allows the user to pick a resolution of their own choosing... well out of the 3 options, that is — HD (720 x 1280), FHD (1080 x 1920), and QHD (1440 x 2560). Of course, we've seen this menu before — it was on the Note 7. But its life was cut short by the minor annoyance of an exploding battery, so we didn't get to enjoy its unique features a whole lot.
But back to the S7 / edge. Word is that, currently, when you update to Android 7, the phone will default to the FHD resolution (1080 x 1920), not the full, ultra-crisp QHD. This could be an overlook with the beta, but it could also be a conscious decision on Samsung's part. We thought we'd ask — which resolution would you choose on your S7 (hey, even if you don't have one — imagine that you do and join the fun) once the Nougat update comes?
Which resolution would you pick on your Galaxy S7 when the update comes?
HD (720 x 1080) is enough for me and I want as little stress on my hardware as possible

FHD (1080 x 1920) - I'll pick the golden middle

QHD (1440 x 2560) - I want it as crisp as possible!

Hold your horses, let me see if it affects battery life and performance in any noticeable manner
