Details about the Samsung Galaxy S7 have surfaced ahead of its February 21 launch. Freshly leaked press renders hinted the price, color options and edge battery size of the forthcoming flagship handset of Samsung.
The Week reported that Samsung is slated to unveil its next flagship handsets during its upcoming Unpacked event. But it seems like there will only be a few information left in store as to what the handset will look, considering the series of exposes that disclosed the designs in detail.
The most recent leaked images come from a well-known leaker Evan Blass, who also posted the first press renderings of the Galaxy S7 way back in January. Based on the leaks, the Samsung Galaxy S7 will be available in black, silver, and gold guises - a change from the emerald, black, white, and gold pallet of the Galaxy S6. Nonetheless, it is still possible for the green and white tints to form part of the line-up.
Seeing the smartphone in these colors has shed a clearer light on the exact shape of the Galaxy S7, with its back portion clearly more curved than the outgoing S6.
Meanwhile, Forbes reported that Samsung is going to sell its latest flagship devices at prices that are competitive against the newer iPhones. The 32GB Galaxy S7 is expected to cost at €699 while the 32GB Galaxy S7 Edge might be tagged at €799. This will be a €50 drop from the introductory price of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge last year. To compare, the starting price of the 16GB iPhone 6S and 16GB iPhone 6S Plus was priced at €739 and €849 in Europe, correspondingly.
As the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge will be sold at lower prices in Europe, it is more likely that the smartphone carriers in the U.S. will sell the new Samsung devices at a lower price also. The U.S. major carriers might sell the Galaxy S7 at a price that is between $50-$100 lower than the introductory Galaxy S6 price.
When it comes to the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge's battery capacity, an FCC filing showed that this handset will have a 3600 mAh battery- a 1000 mAh increase compared to the S6 edge. The battery capacity is exhibited in the FCC label location document where an FCC certification ID can be found. In addition, an FCC e-label for the S7 edge was also found on the Battery info screen making the document reliable.
Moreover, BGR cited other possible features that the Samsung Galaxy S7 might have. The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge could boast a 5.1-inch and a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED QHD display correspondingly. Both of these devices are believed to arrive featuring IPXX certification for water and dust resistance, together with Apple's 3D Touch like pressure sensitive display.
These smartphones might be either powered by Snapdragon 820 or Exynos 8890 chipset, coupled with 4GB of RAM and 32GB or 64GB storage options. With the next family members of Galaxy S series, there is a possibility that Samsung would bring back the microSD card slot.
When it comes to camera, the Samsung Galaxy S7 might be armed with a 12-megapixel rear camera with an aperture of f/1.7 and a 5-megapixel selfie unit is predicted. Its connectivity options include USB Type-C port, Wi-Fi 802.11ad, NFC and Bluetooth. In the battery department, the Galaxy S7 could sport a 3,000 mAh capacity battery with support for Quick Charge feature. Both the smartphones are expected to run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow wrapped under Samsung's TouchWiz UI.
Samsung is yet to confirm its specs, so everyone is advised to take the aforementioned details as a pinch of salt.
