S7 Rumors flooding the web

As is the case with any flagship device from Samsung, online rumor mills and tech websites get flooded with posts, leaks and speculations before release. While Samsung has not revealed much about the upcoming successor to Galaxy S6, the same trend is being noticed online.

Speculation on spec

The rumor is that one of the handsets will be powered by a top notch Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC while the other will have Samsung’s own Exynos chip inside. It is also likely that Samsung will are introduced the microSD slot in the upcoming device. The introduction of USB C port is another possibility.

Early 2016 launch

Samsung is likely to unveil the S7 in the first quarter in 2016. It is also possible that the company will choose next year’s MWC as the event for unveiling the S7.

What about the design?

For several years, Samsung had not deviated much from the design of the Galaxy handsets. The S6 Edge was a departure in a way. However, it remains to be seen what policy Samsung adopts for the S7. The plastic build is gone for good, as most tech experts feel.

A new display and camera

Most of Samsung handsets come with its well-known super AMOLED technology display nowadays. For Galaxy S7, what will Samsung do? Experts predict a bump in screen resolution may be on the cards. Given the fact Sony has recently released a flagship model with a whopping 4k resolution, Samsung may not want to be left behind. It is also possible that Samsung will deploy a better camera in the Galaxy S7 with bumped up resolution.
