The Galaxy S7 is one of the most polished product to have been released by Samsung, says Himanshu Juneja
The price tag of Rs 52,990 seems a bit off.

With a passable built material, and decent battery back up, the chances of the phone commanding premium price dwindled quite early. Anybody with a budge of thirty thousand plus will gladly go for something more worthy like Moto X Style
