We all know that and its undoubtedly crystal clear that Samsung Edgy models have win all our hearts. It was a big step to launch that kind of models in the Market as it an be a big hit if the users accept it otherwise that may also cause the company to a big loss.
But Samsung believe in the users that what actually the users want and they made their step to the world's first edge screen phone as Samsung Galaxy S6 edge, but it didn't stopped there. They made another greater version of the edge model that we know as the Samsung galaxy S6 edge plus. Another beautiful smartphone.
Samsung Galaxy S7: Release date
The Galaxy S6 launched at MWC 2015 and the Galaxy S5 at MWC 2014. We therefore think the Galaxy S7 will release during MWC 2016 in February. If that happens, you can expect the phone to hit store shelves five weeks later, towards late March or early April.
A semi-reliable source from Twitter claimed Samsung's plans coincide with Mobile World Congress 2016, with the an event set for 21 February, the Sunday before MWC formally kicks off.
Samsung Galaxy S7: Design
One of the biggest surprises with the SGS6 was the launch of two models. All the rumours so far predict that Samsung will again be launching multiple models, offering flat and curved "edge" displays.
SamMobile said Samsung will continue to release two variants of its flagship smartphone. One has the model number SM-G930 and a flat display, while the other has the model number SM-G935 and a dual-edge curved display. Both variants are codenamed Project Lucky and are being internally referred to as the Hero and Hero2, respectively.
The Galaxy S6 brought an overhauled design to the flagship line, so we're not expecting any radical changes for the next cycle upgrade. There's been a rumour that claimed it'll be built from a different type of metal, a magnesium-based alloy, to be specific. These claims are supported by leaked cases from ITSkins that shows the S7 looking similar to the current S6, although this could be the case manufacturer trying to grab some headlines.
There's been plenty of talk about multiple handsets, with regular tipster @evleaks tweeting a graphic of the three names Galaxy S7, S7 edge and S7 edge+, making a strong case that we'll see all three of these models from Samsung this year.
Samsung Galaxy S7: Display
One report from Asia Today claimed the Galaxy S7 will come in two sizes: 5.2-inches and 5.8-inches. A possible AnTuTu benchmark for an unknown Samsung phone (codenamed "Lucky") indicates Samsung has made a device with a 5.7-inch 1440 x 2560-pixel screen.
This 5.7-inch, 1440 x 2560 screen rumour is backed up by a leaked data sheet on nowhereelse.fr.
Samsung.hdblog.it again claimed the Galaxy S7 will have two versions: a phone with a "flat" 5.2-inch display, and another with an "edge" 5.7-inch display. The edge version will have a slight curve on the side edges, top, and bottom. There are also reports of an SGS7 edge+ with a 6-inch screen. The rumours are running amok, it seems.
Shifting down from the larger 5.7 or 5.8-inch rumours, according to a report from South Korea's ET News (via Reuters) the regular version will feature a flat 5.2-inch display, the second "edge" variant will feature a curved, 5.5-inch screen.
This information has been expanded on by Android Authority, claiming that indeed it will be two models - the flat SGS7 at 5.2-inches and the SGS7 edge at 5.5 inches, supplying possible dimensions for these devices.
Samsung Galaxy S7: Power and hardware
Supposed internal Samsung documents posted to Chinese social networking site Weibo appear to confirm the SGS7 (though it has the codename "Jungfrau") is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor, although Samsung avoided Qualcomm in 2015.
According to SamMobile, Samsung will release two variants of its flagship smartphone. One will arrive with an Exynos 8890 processor, while the other will have Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 SoC. This might be a strategy to appeal to different customers in different territories and we've seen other manufacturers do this before.
A separate benchmark on Geekbench - supposedly for two variants of the Galaxy S7 - shows one Galaxy device with 3GB of RAM and another LTE version with 4GB of RAM. Both of these devices go by the codename Lucky.
That 4GB model has also appered on a leaked datasheet backed by the Snapdragon 820. Supporting this, a leaked benchmark on nowherelese.fr suggests the new edge model will come with the Snapdragon 820, Adreno 530 graphics and 4GB of RAM with 64GB of internal memory.
At the moment it's unclear exactly what Samsung might offer. With few complaints about the Exynos chipsets, it might make more financial sense for Samsung to stick with in-house hardware.
Audio quality is expected to be impressive with a Korean report suggesting Samsung will use the Sabre 9018AQ2M chip for superior sound. This should mean the 32-bit audio DAC delivers near analogue quality sound and supports formats like DSD. With rumours suggesting Samsung is looking to buy Jay-Z's Tidal music streaming service, the Galaxy S7 may come with some serious audio offerings.
Samsung Galaxy S7: Camera
An AnTuTu benchmark possibly for the Galaxy S7 shows it having a 16-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera, which are the same camera specs found on the Galaxy S6. But another AnTuTu benchmark revealed a duo-camera on the phone, so at this point it is unclear what the phone sports.
According to SamMobile, Samsung is testing a dual-camera setup in some prototypes as well as a 20-megapixel ISOCELL sensor. This could be backed up by Samsung's patent of the term "Duo Pixel" which is expected to appear in the S7.
Samsung has officially unveiled a new 20-megapixel sensor so that could appear in the handset. The new sensor, dubbed Britecell, will offer new phase detection autofocus for faster, more accurate placement of object even when moving at speed. One of the changes wrought by this new sensor is size, with the Britecell being slimmer, potentially reducing the need to have the camera jutting out of the back of the phone. Samsung.hdblog.it also backed up talk about the inclusion of Britecell.
Slash Gear has taken a different approach to the "Duo Pixel" idea in that it speculates that the SGS7 could adopt a modular camera, like Google's Project Ara handset. That way you would be able to buy add-ons to make the phone more Galaxy Camera-like. We're less sure on this concept though.
The new type of camera could explain the lower 12.2-megapixel camera leaked on a data sheet. This also showed a 5-megapixel front-facing selfie camera. This was also supported by the leaked benchmark on nowherelese.fr, also suggesting 12-megapixel and 5-megapixel snappers.
Samsung Galaxy S7: Software
We expect the Galaxy S7 to launch with Android Marshmallow, the latest version of Google's mobile OS - and supposed internal Samsung documents posted to Chinese social networking site Weibo appear to confirm that it will.
However, Samsung likes to stamp its own identity on its devices, so we'd expect the SGS7 to come with a tweaked version of TouchWiz. The SGS6 was something of a triumph, in many ways taming the flaws of TouchWiz, while still maintaining its Android identity. We'd hope that the offering sticks to this ideal.
We're sure there will be plenty of talk about SmartThings too, with the SGS7 leading the charge into Samsung's smarthome offering.
Samsung Galaxy S7: Other specs and features
There's no word yet on the battery, but a rumour posted to Weibo claimed Samsung will add a microSD card slot to its flagship phone. The phone is rumoured to have internal storage of 32GB or 64GB, but one of the great features of Android 6.0 Marshmallow is Flex Storage, where you can use microSD as integrated storage, rather than limiting it to media and documents. This would be a popular addition for the SGS7.
SamMobile said Samsung Galaxy S7 feature UFS 2.0 storage and maybe microSD slots. Samsung.hdblog.it also backed up these rumours, claiming the next flagships will feature a microSD slot and possibly USB Type-C. Android Authority's information suggests that microSD will only feature on the regular 5.2-inch Samsung Galaxy S7 model and not the larger 5.5-inch device.
Leaked case maker renders from ITSkins suggest the larger of the two handsets will feature USB-C while the smaller could stick with micro-USB, although we suspect this is just the case maker trying a number of options.
STAY TUNED FOR MORE UPDATES.....
