Samsung Will probably Unveil the new Galaxy S7 Later This Month

Samsung is getting set to unlock its latest premium phones—the Galaxy S7 and S7 part—later this month, on February 21.

according to new information and leaked images collected via Evan Blass of VentureBeat, the 2 new phones will look nearly just like their predecessors, the Galaxy S6 and S6 side. in fact, it can be very troublesome to peer even one detail within the leaked photographs that diverges from the S6 and S6 area designs.

One big difference, Blass says (citing a supply with data of Samsung’s plans), is that whereas the S7 will keep the 5.1-inch diagonal reveal size of its predecessor, the S7 facet may have a bigger 5.5-inch show.

If leaked knowledge is right (and Blass has a very good document in this regard) the new phones’ improvements can be largely under the hood.

The S6 line of the phones, including the larger S6+ and S6 aspect+, have been criticized for their battery existence. In my experience, the S6 edge+ battery lasts neatly more than a day, and takes a long way longer to charge than the iPhone (my other phone). So the S7 will get a brand new, larger battery that might strengthen battery life by way of as much as 20%.

The S7 telephones will even get full waterproofing (a function which is also anticipated within the new iPhone 7 with a purpose to be introduced later this 12 months).

one of the most demanding design parts of the S6 line is the digital camera housing that protrudes a few millimeters from the again of the phone. Samsung is said to have decreased the megapixel rely of the cellphone’s camera from sixteen megapixels all the way down to 12 megapixels to permit the digital camera to suit utterly throughout the body of the telephone.

The S7 digital camera, alternatively, will feature an f/1.7 lens aperture, superior from the f/1.9 aperture of the S6 digicam, Blass experiences. this may occasionally help with the great downfall of the S6 digicam (and just about all smartphone cameras)—the shortcoming to shoot non-grainy images in low-light situations.

Blass mentioned that the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 aspect will characteristic a microSD slot on the aspect of the cellphone for extra storage.

eventually, Samsung tweeted a teaser for an upcoming Galaxy instrument announcement, with a purpose to take place at an event in Barcelona one day ahead of the start of mobile World Congress. The announcement will almost indubitably feature the S7 and S7 side.

Blass believes the new telephones will go on sale within the U.S. March 11.
