Samsung Galaxy S7 Smartphone Rumors

The latest rumors on the Samsung Galaxy S7 is that it will look like mostly like the Galaxy S6. That isn’t too shocking as we heard that the battery is still sealed and that only minimal design tweaks are happening to the outside. The good news is that the Galaxy S7 may have microSD support for expandable store, a pressure-sensitive display, a high-speed USB Type-C reversible charging port, a beefed up BRITECELL camera, a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC and maybe even a retina scanner. This information comes straight from the Wall Street Journal that has published a report citing insider sources! No word about the Galaxy S7 series being waterproof, but we are happy with the low light photography improvements and hopefully being able to get a full days charge in just 30 minutes!

The pressure-sensitive display will likely be similar to the one that was released by Apple on the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus earlier this year. That means we’ll likely see a ‘Force UI’ much like the ‘3D Touch’ solution that Apple is using. Apple and Samsung are no strangers to high profile patent infringement cases, so it will be interested to see what happens when the dust settles. It is expected that the Galaxy S7 will have a 5.2-inch AMOLED display capable of a 1440×2516 screen resolution that is topped off with Gorilla Glass 4.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 is widely rumored to be unveiled on February 21st just ahead of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain on February 22nd. We also expect that the Samsung Galaxy S7 will be joined by the S7 Edge. The Galaxy S7 Edge with the curved display isn’t expected to have microSD expandability, so if you want the memory slot you’ll likely need to go with the S7. Samsung greatly underestimated the demand for the Galaxy S6 Edge, so we expect immediate availability and plenty of units on hand to fulfill first day orders. Pricing is expected to be lower than that of the Galaxy S6 due to the weak market share of the Galaxy S6.
