It’s almost that time again, at least for Android lovers. In just a few months, the next Android smartphone, tentatively referred to as the Galaxy S7, will be making its arrival.
According to a recent report from Reuters , the Korean electronics manufacturer will launch the Galaxy S7 in two screen sizes come February. It’s looking like a 5.2-inch Galaxy S7 and a 5.5-inch Galaxy S7 Edge are set to be unveiled, possibly at the Samsung Unpacked event on Feb. 20 in Barcelona.
Currently Samsung’s Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge sport 5.1-inch screens. The electronics giant also sells the Galaxy S6 Edge+, a larger smartphone with a 5.7-inch screen with curved edges. Although we won’t know until Samsung takes the stage, the latest rumors suggest the S7 will follow the style of the current S6. Similarly, the smartphone may be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor with 4 Gbytes of RAM, and include a USB Type-C port. It may possibly also include microSD card slots, which would be the return of a much-desired feature.
Other rumors of the phones’ features include a pressure-sensitive screen (just like the iPhone 6S’s 3D Touch), and a possible iris scanner.
Even though the Galaxy S6/S6 Edge and Note 5/S6 Edge+ are incredibly smart and handy devices, Samsung’s market share dropped significantly once consumers got their hands on Apple’s latest iPhone 6S and 6S Plus.
Soon enough, we’ll find out if Samsung will be able to turn the tide with the introduction of its Galaxy S7.
