BARCELONA: After Samsung’s Galaxy S6, the company’s new handset is going to hit the market soon as pictures of Samsung’s new flagship handsets have leaked online weeks before they are introduced, Daily Mail has reported.
The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are set to be unveiled at Mobile World congress in Barcelona next month on February 20th. The S7 will have a 5.1inch screen, and the S7 Edge a larger 5.5inch screen – the same size as Apple’s iPhone 6 Plus.
These images from @evleaks, a writer for Venture Beat, confirm recent rumours surrounding the different sized handsets. ‘Whereas last year’s pair of flagships had the same 5.1-inch display size, this year only the flat S7 variant will retain that screen diagonal. ‘The S7 edge was said to offer a larger, curved display measuring 5.5 inches.’ The handsets will also both feature microSD card slots and be waterproof, it is believed.
BGR claims ‘based on previous leaks, we believe the Galaxy S7 will feature a 5.1-inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera, a 5-megapixel front-facing camera, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, although we don’t know if this is the baseline storage for the device.
‘The S7 edge will likely have most of the same hardware except it will also have a larger display.’
One model is said to use a Samsung-made processor and the other will use Qualcomm. The images shows a cut out of the home button, with sensors on each side. The Wall Street Journal has also reported that the new phone will include a pressure sensitive display, just like the iPhone.
