Latest Report: Galaxy S7 To Be Released This Year

This is an interesting turn of events. In addition to releasing its Galaxy S6 Edge Plus (http://wccftech.com/5-7-inch-galaxy-s6-edge-expected-in-august/) and its flagship phablet, Galaxy Note 5 (http://wccftech.com/latest-galaxy-note-5-leak-states-smartphone-feature-behemoth-screen-size-59-inches-4k-resolution-beefy-4100-mah-battery-usb-typec-port/), Samsung is also being reported to release its Galaxy S7 during the second half of 2015. Thanks to the reports published by South Korean media Newsis (http://www.newsis.com/ar_detail/view.html?pID=10400&cID=10401&ar_id=NISX20150618_0013735890), Samsung is intending to launch the successor of its Galaxy S6 duo much quicker than expected. While Galaxy Note 5 is expected to be launched during the month of September, one reason why Galaxy S7 will be released would be to take on Apple’s iPhone 6s duo, and that should be quite a matchup.

Galaxy S7 Expected To Feature Custom Cores To Take On iPhone 6s Duo The source reports that Samsung has already begun to work on its Galaxy S7 approximately 2-3 months ahead of schedule. Looking at the previous timelines, Samsung has always launched its flagship handsets during the first quarter of the year. If the report turns out to be true, it will be first time in history that Samsung will be launching two Galaxy S smartphones in the same year.
As for the hardware specifications, it is expected that Samsung will be assimilating its own custom cores inside Galaxy S7, although taken that we are still in the year 2015, the architecture will still remain at 14 nm FinFET. In addition to releasing a flurry of smartphones, Samsung will also be releasing its Galaxy Tab S2 slate (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-s2/), which is expected to be running the company’s impressive Exynos 7420 SoC; the same one running in the company’s Galaxy S6 duo.





Although Galaxy Note 5 will be sufficient to take on Apple’s upcoming smartphone offerings, it appears that Samsung does not want to take any chances, as the Cupertino tech giant already made an example out of Nexus 9 when the company’s A8X SoC present in iPad Air 2 made short work of the Tegra K1 running tablet. With the release of Galaxy S7, Samsung will be able to even out the odds. Let us hope that the rumor turns out to be true.
Are you getting geared up to witness Galaxy S7 in action this year? Let us know your thoughts.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Will Not Be Released This Year

Only recently, it was reported that Samsung was prepping to roll out the successor of its Galaxy S6 duo during the second half of 2015, Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/latest-report-galaxy-s7-released-year/). The smartphone was expected to be running the company’s custom core but sadly, the release of this particular handset is not going to be witnessed this year, which only means that your high spirits will have to come tumbling down thanks to a false rumor. However, on a lighter note, you guys will still be able to witness the release of Samsung’s Galaxy Note 5 (http://wccftech.com/autoeject-pen-function-present-galaxy-note-5/) and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus (http://wccftech.com/5-7-inch-galaxy-s6-edge-expected-in-august/).

Galaxy S7 Will Be Released During The First Half Of 2016 According to Business Korea (http://www.businesskorea.co.kr/article/11168/hopes-down-samsung-electronics-will-not-release-galaxy-s7-year), Samsung Electronics Marketing Division had stated in an interview that:

“There is no change in our policy to release products on schedule, including the S series.”





In short, your cash saving habits will probably have to continue for a while longer because we already know that Samsung’s plate is becoming full with the imminent launch of Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and Galaxy Note 5. Galaxy S7 could have been possible, but then it would have pointless since it would feature the same 14 nm FinFET SoC that the Galxay S6 duo and Galaxy Note 5 would be comprised up of.
Samsung’s upcoming flagship phablet will most likely be taking on Apple’s iPhone 6s duo, which will feature mobile chipsets manufactured on the same 14 nm FinFET process, meaning that we are going to witness a clash of mobile titans in the near future.
Samsung is expected to release Galaxy S6 Edge Plus during the month of September, followed by the release of Galaxy Note 5. This is going to be the same month where the Cupertino tech giant will also be gearing up to unveil its highly anticipated smartphone duo. Things are about to get heated up in the near future, and like always, we will be here to provide you with constant updates.

Samsung Bridges Old Divides And Starts Testing Snapdragon On Galaxy S7

Samsung’s Galaxy S6 Duo launch this year came with its fair share of changes. The company’s parting of ways with Qualcomm’s was well reported throughout, as the Snapdragon 810 came to suffer some very severe throttling issues. The Korean manufacturer also chose to launch its flagship devices with an all metal unibody, combined with an all new curved display for the first time. This, coupled with the Exynos 7420, Samsung’s very own, in-house SoC manufactured on the 14nm FinFET made the Galaxy S6 Duo a near perfect combination. Well, fresh reports have started to surface about the Galaxy S7, an they hint at a changing of things over at Samsung.
http://cdn4.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/galaxy-s6-s6-edge-ventes-635x392.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/galaxy-s6-s6-edge-ventes.jpg)





Samsung’s Galaxy S7 Might Come With A Qualcomm SoC Claims Report Well, some fresh reports (http://english.etnews.com/20150710200001) have started to come in from Samsung’s home country, and they claim that the divide between Samsung and Qualcomm might not be all that permanent. We’ve been seeing several leaks over the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus over the past couple of months, and Samsung’s latest edition to its flagship set of devices is expected to come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 808. And if today’s information is correct, then the next iteration in the Galaxy flagship smartphone series might follow the same formula devices before the S6 have as well.
As we’d expect Samsung to start planning towards its next year’s flagship from now, the Korean smartphone giant has already started to test a variety of processors for the Galaxy S7. And Qualcomm’s offerings are included in this as well, with Samsung also testing units with an Exynos variant on board. If test go smoothly, which was not the case on this year’s Galaxy S6 Duo, then we might get to see the Snadpdragon roar in a Samsung Galaxy flagship once again. Its some interesting speculation nonetheless. Stay tuned and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Mysterious Samsung Device Scores Nearly 96,000 Points In AnTuTu; Galaxy S7 Maybe?

Looks like we have another winner from AnTuTu, this time from the Samsung club. Previously, we reported that that a mysterious LG device had its AnTuTu benchmarking points leaked, obtaining a score of 85,000+ (http://wccftech.com/lg-nexus-5-2015-antutu-scores/) in the process, which is phenomenal. Now, it appears that an unknown Samsung device has been able to top that, with a massive score of nearly 96,000 points. That high a score can definitely not be obtained by a Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, or a Galaxy Note 5, so our next best guess is that it has to be a Galaxy S7.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-635x396.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Samsung-Galaxy-S7.jpg)
Samsung Galaxy S7 Could Feature A Snapdragon 820, Which Is The Only Reason Why The Handset Could Get A High ScoreAccording to Weibo (http://weibo.com/206800072?from=profile&wvr=6), there are two screenshots (images given below) where it states that the Samsung handset given the model name SM-G8508S has been shown to obtain a score of 95,972 points in AnTuTu. Earlier, we reported that Galaxy Note 5 was leaked to obtain a score of 69,702 points (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-note-5-69702-antutu-score/) in the benchmarking application, indicating that a chipset much powerful than Exynos 7420 was going to be required to obtain a score that high.




It just so happens that there was another leak stating that Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-snapdragon-soc/) could feature a Snapdragon 820, since Samsung was testing out the upcoming SoC in the company’s next flagship smartphone. Additionally, we also have information that Qualcomm’s upcoming chipset is not going to feature the company’s Kryo cores, but a quad-core CPU comprising of the firm’s own developed Hydra cores (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-hydra-cores-14-nm-finfet-q1-2016/).
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/9846815ejw1eusz2ms2i2j20e20p0t9o.jpg

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/9846815ejw1eusz2m77n5j20e20p0jsp.jpg

Keep in mind that these are the same cores that Qualcomm was looking to use as server processors (http://wccftech.com/qualcomms-prepping-64core-arm-server-cpu-called-hydra/), and with the firepower that server processors possess, you can rest assured that they would be able to obtain a score this high, if taken for a bench run. However, we should take this leak with a grain of salt and wait for Snapdragon 820 to make its way to in to handsets to really witness its true potential.
If the smartphone is able to reach this performance level while sporting a Snapdragon 820, then it looks like Qualcomm really did learn its lesson.

Leaked Document Suggests Galaxy S7 Will Be Featuring Snapdragon 820

After Samsung pretty much dismantled its relationship with Qualcomm for passing over Snapdragon 810 for its Exynos 7420 to be placed in its Galaxy S6 family, the company will be looking to mend its partnership with the American firm once more. Previously, it was reported that Snapdragon 820 was being tested on Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-snapdragon-soc/) to see if there were no issues concerning the temperature the thermal throttling fronts of the SoC. Now, it appears that Samsung might actually be dead serious to use the ‘system on a chip’ in the upcoming smartphone.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/android-m-jungfrau-01-635x485.jpg

Documentation Shows That Galaxy S7 Codenamed As Jungfrau, With Snapdragon 820 Possessing The Model Name MSM8996According to Weibo (http://www.weibo.com/2554757470/Cva3b0ceA?from=page_1005052554757470_profile&wvr=6&mod=weibotime&type=comment#_rnd1439194019431), KJuma is at it once more, as he posts documentation images that show the codenamed of Galaxy S7, which is Jungfrau, and the model number of Snapdragon 820, which is MSM8996. While Samsung did developed its own Exynos 7420 and incorporated it in to the company’s Galaxy S6 family, there have been no reports suggesting that the firm is working on the successor of its aforementioned SoC. The only other report we came across was that Galaxy Note 5 would be featuring an Exynos 7422 (http://wccftech.com/exynos-7422-soc-rumored-present-galaxy-note-5/).




However, after further leaks came through, it was revealed that Galaxy Note 5 would indeed be featuring an Exynos 7420. Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-hydra-cores-14-nm-finfet-q1-2016/) is going to be fabricated on the same architecture as Exynos 7420, which is 14 nm FinFET. Instead of sporting cores from ARM’s Cortex lineup, Snapdragon 820 will feature its own custom Hydra cores (http://wccftech.com/qualcomms-prepping-64core-arm-server-cpu-called-hydra/), which will be four in total to form a quad-core CPU. There were earlier rumors stating that Snapdragon 820 would be suffering from the same overheating issues as Snapdragon 810, but an analyst clarified this issue later on (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-does-not-overheat/).
As for the GPU running inside Snapdragon 820, Adreno 530 is going to exceed Adreno 430’s performance by 35 percent, and will be 20 percent more efficient compared to the latter, which only means that you will not be experiencing any overheating issues when engaging in taxing mobile gaming applications. So far, this is all the information that we were able to gather. More info will be available in the future so stay tuned for further updates.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Processor Details Emerge With Old Wounds Set To Heal

With all eyes set on Apple’s upcoming iPhone 6s, and Samsung’s Galaxy S6 having started to fade into oblivion due to decrease in sales and poor supply decisions made by the Korean giant, word is now starting to surface about the Galaxy S7. After Samsung and Qualcomm’s well publicized divorce on the Galaxy S6, due to Snapdragon 810’s overheating issues, it looks like the two giants might be getting back together again.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/snapdragon-820.png (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/snapdragon-820.png)
Samsung And Qualcomm Might Be Getting Back Together For The Galaxy S7Well, even though both the manufacturing giants parted ways on the Galaxy S6, looks like Samsung’s eager to give Qualcomm a second chance when it comes to the next Galaxy – namely the Galaxy S7. We’ve been hearing now for quite a while that Samsung’s testing Qualcomm’s next generation Snapdragon for the Galaxy S7 and today there’s more smoking coming from that direction.
News straight out of Korea (https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.dreamx.com%2Fview.asp%3Farticl eno%3D21111519&edit-text=&act=url) claims that Samsung has started to carry out some intensive tests on the Snapdragon 820, to ensure that the processor does not suffer from the same overheating issues that plagued its predecessor. The Snapdragon 820 is expected to hit the market some time next year, and with the processor, Qualcomm’s shaking things up quite a lot.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Galaxy-S6.png





The chipset will be coming with Qualcomm’s custon Kryo or Hydra cores for the first time and will also be featuring the Adreno 530, that is expected to give 40% power and performance increments over the previous Adreno found in the Snapdragon, according to Qualcomm itself. GPUs have always been the U.S. chipmaking giant’s strong point and if the 530 really manages to deliver that much improvement then we’re in for an impressive processor indeed.
So, if Samsung has started testing, then it also gives the company plenty of time to collaborate with Qualcomm on its next processor and if its really serious about the Galaxy S7 coming with the 820, then we should undoubtedly see such a device next year. After all, Qualcomm should be playing its cards carefully after the Snapdragon 810 debacle so let’s see how things turn out.
Stay tuned and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Galaxy S7 Could Feature Both Snapdragon 820 And Mongoose M1 Variants

Previously, we had come across a report which stated that the original name of Samsung’s next Exynos SoC was Exynos 7430 Hero (http://wccftech.com/samsung-exynos-chipset-details-revealed-read/), indicating that the official name for the chipset Mongoose had been revealed. Now, we have come across more information that suggests that the upcoming Galaxy S7 will not only sport a Snapdragon 820 version, but an Exynos 7430 Hero version as well.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/S7-635x360.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/S7.jpg)
Galaxy S7 Already Being Tested Out With Snapdragon 820 – Samsung Could Be Keeping Its Options Open With Exynos Variant According to a source hailing from China, when the report came out detailing the official name of Mongoose, additional information concerning the chipset was that it was also going to be present in Galaxy S7. From what we know so far, Samsung has already been testing Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-leaked-images-show-snapdragon-820/), which is a chipset that is going to be running Qualcomm’s custom Hydra cores (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-hydra-cores-14-nm-finfet-q1-2016/).
Additionally, Samsung will continue the trend of incorporating its own developed chipset, seeing as how Exynos 7420 was able to bulldoze through the competition, and remaining thermally stable, unlike Snapdragon 810. According to the latest benchmarking leak (http://wccftech.com/mongoose-soc-from-samsung-shows-dominating-benchmark-results/), the upcoming Exynos chipset is a force to be reckoned with, seeing as how it is able to make short work of Exynos 7420 in both the single and multi-core tests of Geekbench.
The leaked report also stated that unlike Samsung’s Exynos 7420, which features an octa-core processor, Exynos 7430 Hero is going to be running a quad-core processor at 2.4GHz. With Galaxy S7 coming in 2016, the chipset is definitely going to be processed on the company’s 14nm FinFET process, much like Snapdragon 820.




http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Samsung-Exynos1-635x543.png (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Samsung-Exynos1.png)
Earlier, there was an AnTuTu benchmarking leak of a mysterious Samsung smartphone, and the device was able to score in excess of 95,000 points (http://wccftech.com/samsung-device-leaked-with-96000-antutu-points-galaxy-s7-maybe/). All arrows were pointing towards Galaxy S7 but since these scores can easily be tampered with in order to show much higher score than what the mobile device is actually able to achieve, we thought we should wait for more leaks to come through.
If Samsung is planning to release Galaxy S7 in both the Snapdragon 820 and Exynos 7430 Hero variants, then we can expect both chipsets to deliver similar performance and efficiency, making the device an effective mobile powerhouse. Unfortunately, this is all the information that we have at this current point. When Galaxy S7 draws nearer to its official announcement date, we will have more details published for you.

Galaxy S7 Benchmarking Leaks Show Very Impressive Performance; Exceeds Galaxy Note 5 As Expected

Galaxy S7, Samsung’s upcoming flagship smartphone is undoubtedly going to surpass Galaxy Note 5 is both performance and efficiency, but by how much? According to the leaked benchmarking tests, the upcoming handset might not show how efficient it is, but it still shows that it is able to deliver substantial amounts of performance.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/S71-635x360.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/S71.jpg)

Galaxy S7 Specifications Leaked Along With Benchmark Results – See All The Details Right Here According to a source, the Galaxy S7 version that was taken for a benchmarking run was a Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-hydra-cores-14-nm-finfet-q1-2016/) variant. We expect that in addition to this version, the South Korean tech giant is also going to release a Mongoose chipset (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-feature-snapdragon-820-mongoose-m1-variants/) variant of the device, which is also being referred to as Exynos 7430 Hero (http://wccftech.com/samsung-exynos-chipset-details-revealed-read/). Coming back to the benchmarking results of Galaxy S7, they are nothing short of impressive, which you will see after we have gone through all the hardware specifications of the handset.
Starting off, Galaxy S7 features a Snapdragon 820, which has been processed under Samsung’s 14nm FinFET architecture. With a small lithographic architecture, we are confident that Qualcomm will easily be able to avoid the overheating saga that thousands of users went through with their mobile products that were running Snapdragon 810. In addition, the device will also have 4GB of RAM, which is the same amount of present in Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/w.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/w.jpg)





Hopefully this time, Samsung will finally incorporate a MicroSD card slot, even though the details only state that the smartphone features 64GB of internal storage. In order to avoid severe criticism from the public, along with reduced smartphone sales, Samsung is going to have to bring back this feature. Another detail that caught our attention was that the smartphone features a 16MP rear camera sensor. The sensor has a maximum image capturing resolution as Galaxy Note 5, which is rather disappointing, since we were hoping for a slight upgrade in this segment.
However, the company has managed to use a 5.7 inch screen for its upcoming device; one that will be resonating a resolution of 1440p. Once again, this is not the right approach for Samsung, as it will deplete battery life much quickly than displays that give off a 1080p resolution. Let us hope that Samsung is able to place a bigger battery capacity this time, because a 3,000mAh cell present in both Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus was a huge disappointment.
Here are the scores for your valuation purposes:

Samsung Galaxy S7 to include impressive processor, camera upgrades


We all know to expect some big upgrades on the Galaxy S7, but what should we expect exactly? According to the latest rumors, Samsung will include some big processor and camera upgrades, two key parts of the Galaxy S7.

http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/4/8/48055_02_samsung-galaxy-s7-include-impressive-processor-camera-upgrades.jpg

Samsung's next flagship smartphone should feature its own Exynos 8890 processor, which is an impressive 8-core processor clocked at a huge 2.3GHz on the 14nm FinFET process. Apple paved the way with Force Touch on the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, but these new rumors would see Samsung introducing ClearForce technology onto its Galaxy S7, something that Qualcomm unveiled a few days ago now. The new Galaxy S7 will also receive a camera upgrade, with Samsung using a 20-megapixel rear-facing camera using their own ISOCELL technology. On top of that, the Galaxy S7 should also feature ESS' Sabre 9018AQ2M headphone amplifier solution, which includes a 2-channel D/A audio converter. It also includes harmonic distortion support of up to -120dB, lowered power consumption, and more. We should expect Samsung to unveil the Galaxy S7 early next year.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge And Edge Plus Variants To Launch Concurrently

With October almost coming to an end, we’ve got only a few months left until Samsung’s flagship smartphones for the next year, the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-snapdragon-820/) series is launched. Several bits and pieces of information about the devices have been popping up over the past couple of months and we’ve managed to uncover quite a bit of information about it. Today there’s some more news about the devices’ launch date so take a look at it below.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Galaxy-S7-concept-design-1024x575-635x357.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Galaxy-S7-concept-design-1024x575.jpg)
Samsung To Launch Galaxy S7 Edge And Galaxy S7 Edge Plus ConcurrentlyThe majority of information that has surfaced related to Samsung’s flagship plans so far has surrounded the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsungs-lucky-lte-beats-snapdragon-820-hands-latest-leak/). There’s been little word on an edge variant of the device coming next year, but today’s information manages to add an interesting angle to the mix. After Samsung launched three Galaxy S flagship smartphones this year, with the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge coming earlier than the S6 Edge Plus, the Korean manufacturer might change things around next year.
According to a source, the Korean manufacturer will be launching three Galaxy S flagship smartphones next year, with all three devices coming at the same time. We’ve heard rumors about three variants of the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-variants/) coming next year with each based on a different chipset and market and if today’s information turns out to be true, then Samsung might have a little trouble keeping count of the different Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-edge-concepts-force-upgrade-upcoming-smartphone/) flagship smartphones out there.




http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-edge-renders-1-660x330-635x318.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-edge-renders-1-660x330.jpg)
If today’s information turns out to be correct then Samsung will be launching three new devices at the start of next year; the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsungs-mongoose-benchmarks-leak/), Galaxy S7 Edge and the Galaxy S7 Edge Plus. These, coupled with rumors of the Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/samsungs-exynos-8890-specifications-claim-top-notch-frequency/), the Exynos 7422 (http://wccftech.com/exynos-7422-soc-rumored-present-galaxy-note-5/) and the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-feature-snapdragon-820-exynos-combo-markets/) coming on the Galaxy S7 make up for a total of nine Galaxy smartphones, making the lineup one of the most customized flagship smartphones out there. While such options work out well in other markets, such differentiation should undoubtedly cause confusion among a lot of users.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsungs-galaxy-s7-feature-high-quality-features/) is expected to come with a 20MP rear camera, Samsung’s very own pressure based touch interface (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-patent-3dtouch/), an all new audio chip that is expected to further boost the device’s multimedia capabilities and USB Type-C (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-feature-blazing-fast-data-speeds-typec-connectivity/) on board. By the looks of things so far, Samsung’s next flagship smartphone sounds quite an impressive offering indeed. We should learn more as time passes. Till then, stay tuned and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

And three different SoCs
There have been quite a few rumors regarding Samsung's next Galaxy flagship smartphone and the latest one suggest that Samsung might equip the Galaxy S7 with high-end ESS SABRE 9018AQ2M audio chip.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S7 flagship has been heavily rumored recently, including the fact that we might see it announced as early as January and that it might be available in three different version with three different SoCs, including Samsung's own Exynos 8890 and Exynos 7422 and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820. The rest of the rumors include the all new 20-megapixel ISOCELL camera, USB Type-C connector, 5.2-inch and 5.7-inch versions with up to 4K/UHD resolution, magnesium frame and glass front and back and plenty of other rumors like the curved screen.
The latest rumor coming from MyDrivers (https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=zh-CN&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.mydrivers.com%2F1%2F452%2F4520 29.htm&edit-text=) and spotted by Phonearena.com (http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-may-equip-the-Galaxy-S7-with-a-top-shelf-ESS-audio-chip_id74942) is also quite interesting as it suggests that the Galaxy S7 might end up with a high-end digital-to-analog converter (DAC), no other than high-end ESS SABRE 9018AQ2M, currently one of the best audio chips for mobile applications.
Samsung has been using Wolfson DACs in its smartphones and while these are not bad, high-end ESS chip could make a difference. Samsung might partner up with Jay-Z's Tidal music service which stream loss-less high-fidelity tunes, so a high-end ESS chip could be the one play it all.
Judging from all these rumors, Samsung is definitely aiming to create a proper flagship smartphone with the Galaxy S7 and hopefully we will hear more about it soon.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Leak Claims RAW Support And 20MP Shooter

As the months pass by and we head towards 2016, more and more information has started to surface about the Samsung Galaxy S7. By the looks of things so far the Galaxy S7 will be coming with top performance and features for every aspect of a mobile device, as should be expected from a manufacturer of Samsung’s scale. Today we’ve managed to get our hands on some fresh information about the device, so take a look below to find out more.


The Samsung Galaxy S7 To Come With 20MP Rear Camera And RAW Image SupportAfter having seen details that range from its processor to multimedia capabilities, today we’ve got some information that claims to elaborate on the Samsung Galaxy S7’s rear camera capabilities. After earlier reports that suggested that the Korean electronics giant will be once again upgrading the rear camera sensor on the Galaxy S7 this time around, today’s information further corroborates earlier rumors.
Given that cameras have started to become an increasingly important feature of our smartphone as time passes, looks like this year Samsung’s also looking to give some special attention to photography. In addition to the 20MP rear camera sensor on the Galaxy S7, the device will also be able to shoot images in RAW format, which should mean some great news for all the photography enthusiasts out there.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Galaxy-S7-concept-design-1024x575-635x357.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Galaxy-S7-concept-design-1024x575.jpg)If today’s information turns out to be correct, then the Samsung Galaxy S7 will be a very well rounded device indeed. We’ve got three processors lined up for it so far, which are the Exynos 8890, the Snapdragon 820 and perhaps even the ePoP Exynos 7422. This, coupled with all new multimedia capabilities and haptic feedback compatibility on the device should help Samsung target a wide variety of users looking for a high level experience on their smartphone.
Things have started to take yet another new direction in the mobile world recently, after Apple’s launch of the iPhone 6s/6s Plus with 3D Touch on board. Haptic feedback seems to be the new talk of town with Synaptics also having launched its solution recently and some Samsung patents also showing the Korean manufacturer’s commitment to the matter for quite a while. Its still some time before we get to lay our on the device, so more information’s bound to surface. If only some design and image leaks were to follow. Stay tuned and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Galaxy S7: 50 Percent Of Units Are Going To Be Powered By Snapdragon 820

It looks like Samsung has its faith restored in Qualcomm because Galaxy S7, the company’s upcoming flagship handset is going to be running a Snapdragon 820 SoC, and from the looks of it, quite a large number of units are going to be running the chipset manufacturer’s flagship SoC.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/S71-635x360.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/S71.jpg)
Snapdragon 820 And Exynos 8890 Variants Of Galaxy S7 Are Reported To Being Produced In A 1:1 Ratio According to a source, Snapdragon 820 variants of the smartphone are going to be produced in a 50 percent ratio. The chipset is already going to be manufactured on a brand new process called 14nm FinFET LPP (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-leaked-completely-manufacturing-process/), which will no doubt be superior to the 14nm FinFET LPE process. Previously, there was a rumor suggesting that Snapdragon 820 was suffering from overheating issues (http://wccftech.com/qualcomm-refutes-rumors-snapdragon-820-suffers-overheating/), but an executive has stated that thanks to the smaller lithographic process, such incidents are not going to be repeated by the manufacturer.
Galaxy S7 is going to be powered by Qualcomm’s custom cores which are being referred to as Hydra cores (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-hydra-cores-14-nm-finfet-q1-2016/), and they will result in 35 percent more performance in comparison to its predecessor. We will wait for detailed benchmarks to appear before we can properly come to a conclusion of course. What we know about Galaxy S7 so far is that the smartphone is most likely going to sport the exact same sensor that was present on Xperia Z5 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-rumored-sport-camera-sensor-sonys-xperia-z5-series/), meaning that a huge camera upgrade is coming our way in 2016.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Qualcomm-635x325.png (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Qualcomm.png)




One of Samsung’s biggest problems concerning its mobile products is the severe customization that they add to its TouchWiz interface. Not only does it reduce performance substantially because it utilizes far more system resources as compared to stock Android. Also, there have been reports concerning severe lack of security present in Samsung’s devices. We believe that the company should definitely switch away from its own interface, and cut out pre-loaded applications from the equation altogether.
Both Snapdragon 820 and Exynos 8890 chipsets will reportedly include a Cat 12 LTE modem, which will allow for download speeds of up to 600Mbps where the network allows it. We also believe that Galaxy S7 will remain limited to a 1440p display since adding a 4K resolution to its Super AMOLED display will result in severe loss of battery life and performance, irrespective of how attractive everything inside the display will look.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Samsung-Exynos1-635x356.png (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Samsung-Exynos1.png)
It has also been reported that Galaxy S7 is going to be unveiled during the month of February, but our hunch is that the company is going to unveil it during MWC 2016. What are your thoughts on Galaxy S7? Let us know them right away.

Highly Credible Leak Points At Early Samsung Galaxy S7 Launch Date

Not a day passes that we don’t see new information surface about Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S7 launch. The Korean manufacturer managed to regain industry and market interest this year with the launch of the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge in March. Not only did both the devices come with the Exynos 7420 that is undoubtedly one of the best performing SoCs in the market right now, but they also came with sleek designs that captured the attention of many. By the looks of things so far, Samsung’s looking to further build on its successes with the Galaxy S6/S6 this year, with some information about the pair’s successor having surfaced today.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-635x396.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Samsung-Galaxy-S7.jpg)
Firmware Development For Galaxy S7 And Galaxy S7 Edge Suggests Early Launch Given the amount of leaks that have taken place so far surrounding the Samsung Galaxy S7, we have a fair idea of what to expect from the device so far. But while specification related leaks and rumors have been abundant, there has been relatively little information about its launch details so far, with only a handful of information surfacing so far.
We’ve heard previously that Samsung might be looking for an early Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge launch next year, and today some more information has surfaced which lends credibility to this fact. Folks over at Sammobile, known for their highly credible sources when it comes to the South Korean electronics giant claim that Samsung has already started to develop firmware for both the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-concept-renders-by-Hasan-Kaymak-635x397.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-concept-renders-by-Hasan-Kaymak.jpg)




This provides us with several interesting bits of information. Firstly, its a rare mention of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, a device that has seen limited mentions when compared to its regular Galaxy S7 counterpart. Secondly, if true, then this would be exactly a month earlier than Samsung’s firmware development schedule for the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge, so the company should have things all tidied up rather early when it comes to its next flagship smartphone launches.
The firmware names for the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge are G930FXXU0AOK6 and G935FXXU0AOK6, which coupled with Sammobile’s good credibility in the leaks-sphere could really mean that we’re going to see both the Galaxy S7 devices in three months. Current information suggests that Samsung will be increasing the screen size on the devices, coupled with a brand new Exynos 8890 ticking under the hood. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 is also expected to be made available in US and Chinese markets, so rest assured, the Galaxy S7 will be a power packed device indeed.
Stay tuned and let us know what you think in the comments section below. We’ll keep you updated in the meanwhile.

Samsung’s Galaxy S7 Launch Date In Confusion After Alleged Unpacked 2016 Date

Samsung’s Galaxy S7 has started to see leaks and new information surface at an increasingly fast pace over the past couple of days. We’ve seen rumors ranging from its technical specifications, dimensions, colors and launch date pop up, which apart from giving us a good picture of what to expect, also end up muddling things a little bit. After we told you earlier that the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge might be seeing an early launch date, some more information has surfaced which suggests that Samsung might be sticking to its current schedule.

Samsung To Launch The Galaxy S7 And Galaxy S7 Edge At The Sidelines Of MWC In Barcelona Earlier today, some information surfaced which claimed that Samsung has already started work on developing the firmware for the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. In addition to somewhat confirming the existing of an edge variant for the device, it also managed to point out the fact that Samsung is exactly a month ahead of schedule in development terms when compared to the progress on the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge.


However, now serial tipster Ricciolo claims to have some new information about the Galaxy S7’s launch date in a twitter post. According to him, there’s no change of plans at Samsung for the Galaxy S7’s launch, with the company to still launch the device at the cohorts of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, set to take place from February 22nd to February 25th.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/concept-de-samsung-galaxy-s7-635x397.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/concept-de-samsung-galaxy-s7.jpg)
So as of now, nothing can be said with surety about Samsung’s flagship smartphone launch plans. There’s no reason for the Korean manufacturer to launch the Galaxy S7 earlier next year either, as there shouldn’t be any direct competitors that it should be looking to get ahead of through an expedited launch. The Galaxy S7 is turning out to be quite an impressive device so far however if the current information about the device’s specifications and features is to be believed.
Not only will the device be launching with both the Exynos 8890 and the Snapdragon 820, but the Galaxy S7 will also be featuring a rear camera with resolution 20MP, coupled with Samsung’s proprietary ISOCELL and RAW image support. This should account for some high quality photography on the device, which coupled with expanded multimedia capabilities should make the Galaxy S7 one good device indeed. There’s no word on the device’s design so far, but that should change in the near future. Stay tuned and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Early Q1 Galaxy S7 Launch Date On Cards As Both Variants Enter Testing

As 2015 reaches its end, the mobile world, with Samsung fans in particular are eagerly waiting for the Galaxy S7. Samsung’s next smartphone flagship has been in the rumor mill for quite a while and apart from any design and aesthetic changes that the Korean manufacturer might have planned, we have a fair idea of what to expect from the device so far. Well, looks like Samsung’s made quite decent progress into the device’s development up to now as some new information has surfaced so far that points towards an early Q1 launch next year.


https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/507069916868931584/Zg1JCFio_normal.jpeg Evan Blass @evleaks (https://twitter.com/evleaks)
AT&T already testing both Galaxy S7 variants (SM-G930A and -G935A), adding weight to rumors of an early- to mid-1Q16 release.
<time class="dt-updated" datetime="2015-11-13T21:27:47+0000" pubdate="" title="Time posted: 13 Nov 2015, 21:27:47 (UTC)">9:27 PM - 13 Nov 2015</time> (https://twitter.com/evleaks/status/665279918633295872)

Samsung Galaxy S7 Enters Testing At AT&T – Early Q1 Expected Even though a variety of new tipsters have started to surface on various social media networks these days, there are only a few whose credibility we can be absolutely sure of. One of these is Evan Blasss, or @evleaks, who has been around for as long as the rumor mill itself. Evan’s back today and this time he claims to have some information about Samsung’s plans for the Galaxy S7.




According to Blass, both variants of the Galaxy S7 Edge – SM-G930A and G935A have already started testing at AT&T, which would mean that things are heading quite nicely for the device’s development over at Samsung and the US carrier. We’ve been hearing about an expedited Galaxy S7 launch for quite a while now, and if Samsung believes its device is ready to undergo testing at carriers, then this might bear fruition after all.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/concept-de-samsung-galaxy-s7-635x397.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/concept-de-samsung-galaxy-s7.jpg)
Specifications wise, a lot can be expected from Samsung’s flagships this year. The Galaxy S7 is expected to feature several overhauls in 2016, which start from its processor. The Korean electronics giant recently launched the Exynos 8890, which comes bearing Samsung’s own custom Mongoose M1 cores, coupled with four of ARM’s Cortex designs. While the true performance of the Exynos can only be judged once the Galaxy S7 comes out, Samsung claims that the processor packs quite a punch indeed.
In the camera side of things, the Galaxy S7 is expected to come with a 20MP rear camera boasting Samsung’s ISOCELL and RAW image capabilities. In fact, customization on the photographic end of the device have been in the rumor mill as well, and given the increasing relevance of the feature on mobile devices, we should expect Samsung to have a couple of tricks up its sleeve as well. Add some great multimedia support to the list and a slightly larger screen and we should definitely expect Samsung’s device to be in a lot of hands next year. Stay tuned and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Galaxy S7’s Premium Edition To Feature 14-Core GPU And 4K Display

Samsung fans are eagerly waiting for the successor of Galaxy S6 as 2015 nears end. Currently, Samsung’s forthcoming flagship does not have any confirmed design and aesthetic changes, however, we do have an educated guess for what the Korean manufacturer might be up to. Samsung’s Galaxy S6 was definitely a step up from its predecessor in terms of both hardware and software, while this year the competition is even more intense.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/concept-de-samsung-galaxy-s7-635x397.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/concept-de-samsung-galaxy-s7.jpg)
As leaks and rumors catches pace, we’re hearing more about the internals and the configurations of the Galaxy S7. A new rumor from a tipster claims that the Galaxy S7 will have a Korean variant which is said to be a premium version, which might be limited to specific regions. As the name suggests, the device ranks above its European and North American counterparts. Along with this, there are some internal hardware changes in the report as well, which we will be talking about later on.
Let’s dive in to see some additional details on the upcoming Premium Galaxy S7 and how it stacks up against its standard variant.




Galaxy S7 To Have A Premium Variant Limited To South Korea Several leaks and rumors have been spotted on various social media platforms as well as different sources. According to the previous reports, the premium edition of the Galaxy S7 is said to feature Exynos 8890, which was recently launched by the Korean giant. The Exynos 8890 comes with the company’s personal Mongoose M1 cores incorporated with four ARM cortex model. According to Samsung, the processor brags a lot of power.
The premium edition of Galaxy S7 could feature a 4K display and a 14-core GPU. The standard version of the Galaxy S7 will pack Samsung’s in-house Exynos 8890 processor with 12-core Mali-T880 GPU. The premium version could have an impact in the graphics department with a 14-core Mali-T880 GPU. The premium edition is said to be available in South Korea, which is Samsungs’s host market.
According to reports from Design & Trend, it is possible that half of Galaxy S7 units will be shipped with Snapdragon 820, while the remaining would be shipped with Samsung’s in-house Exynos 8890 processors. Another report from the same source also coins that Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked 2016 event will be held on February 21 in Barcelona.
This is it for now, folks. How do you feel about the two variants of Samsung’s Galaxy S7? How will the graphics performance vary with a 14-core Mali-T880 GPU? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Samsung BRITECELL mobile camera technology promises improved low-light performance


http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015/11/2015-11-18-image-18.jpg

Samsung used its annual Investors Forum to introduce a new camera module destined for future smartphones. Dubbed BRITECELL, the camera technology promises improved low-light performance with less noise.
As Android Authority (http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-britecell-camera-technology-656359/) notes, BRITECELL builds on Samsung’s homegrown ISOCELL technology (http://www.techspot.com/guides/850-smartphone-camera-hardware/page2.html) for their BSI sensors. ISOCELL places barriers between each photodetector to reduce crosstalk, thus improving sharpness and color accuracy – especially when shooting in dimly-lit environments. ISOCELL sounds a lot like the deep trench isolation technology Apple uses with its latest batch of iPhones.
http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015/11/2015-11-18-image-19.jpg
BRITECELL reduces pixel size from 1.12um to 1.0um which Samsung claims results in a 17 percent reduction in physical module height. In other words, it may allow the company to tone back how much the camera sticks out on the back of flagship smartphones (or lead to even thinner phones).
The technology also allows for an increase in density up to 20 megapixels. Of course, megapixel count isn’t everything but raising the ceiling certainly won’t hurt matters.
Another key to BRITECELL technology has to do with a change in pixel arrangements. Most smartphone cameras use what’s called a Bayer filter which employs an abundance of green pixels to help prevent light from hitting the sensor. With BRITECELL, Samsung has effectively traded green for white which lets more light in, resulting in brighter images.
Samsung didn’t reveal which phone would be the first to use the new camera technology although if I had to venture a guess, I’d say we might see it arrive in the Galaxy S7 (http://www.techspot.com/news/62496-galaxy-s7-rumor-roundup-magnesium-body-glass-back.html) early next year.

Galaxy S7 Rumored To Bring Back One Crucial Feature

With all the buzz that we have been hearing (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-50-percent-units-running-snapdragon-820/) about Galaxy S7, Samsung has been rumored to have finally learnt its lesson and is said to bring back a very crucial feature present in Android smartphones.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Samsung-635x394.png
Galaxy S7 Rumored To Bring Back Support For A MicroSD card Slot According to a source, Galaxy S7 could bring back support for a MicroSD card, which is a highly crucial feature that was missing from Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge Plus and Galaxy Note 5, so can imagine how furious consumers must have been upon hearing the horrible news. If Samsung does manage to incorporate a storage card slot in Galaxy S7, then we should expect that it will have a higher support capacity than Galaxy S5, which could recognize up to 128GB.
Our guess is that the maximum supported capacity could be 256GB, which is completely alright, seeing as how Microdia recently announced a very expensive (http://wccftech.com/microdia-stuffs-512-gb-storage-microsd-card-overtakes-sandisk/) 512GB MicroSD card. As for the remainder of the specifications present inside the upcoming flagship handset, Galaxy S7 is said to ship out in two chipset variants; a Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/qualcomms-adreno-530-outperform-apples-a9/) one and an Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-announced/) one, and according to our previous report, the device could sport a Sony IMX300, which is the same camera sensor (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-rumored-sport-camera-sensor-sonys-xperia-z5-series/) that is present in Sony’s Xperia Z5 series.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/S72-635x360.jpg




However, there are some models that we believe will also come with Samsung’s own developed camera sensor. Another crucial feature that we desperately want to see in Galaxy S7 is a large battery capacity. Irrespective of how efficient mobile chipsets and operating system updates have become, Samsung aimed straight for its foot when it unveiled all four of its high-end smartphones since they all featured smaller cells compared to their predecessors.
Somewhere down the road, we are going to witness more and more smartphones with 4K displays and that only means that either battery technology evolves to something far more capable than lithium ion or polymer cells, or increase their overall capacities. Another thing; Samsung will have to give up is its TouchWiz interface. Prior to releasing its Galaxy S6, the company stated that its interface will be similar to a pure Android experience, but we have yet to see that claim show itself up.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Samsung-Exynos2-635x356.png
If the rumor turns out to be true for Galaxy S7, then we sincerely hope that Samsung also takes note of the remaining things that we have pointed out. What other things do you thing Samsung should include or omit from its upcoming smartphone? Let us know your thoughts.

Qualcomm scores some Galaxy S7 designs

http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/6a7bfdf0ca590afcb4c9737c55cd6bc9_L.jpg (http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/6a7bfdf0ca590afcb4c9737c55cd6bc9_XL.jpg)

Exclusive: Just not all of them
Our well informed sources have informed us that Qualcomm will win some SoC design wins for Samsung Galaxy S7 – just not all of them.

This is great news for Qualcomm as the company didn’t get its Snapdragon 810 under the bonnet of any Samsung Galaxy S6 devices in 2015. The company sold some modems that went into the Galaxy S6 for specific markets but not the whole thing.
Samsung has announced its own Exynos 8890 which is a promising looking chipset which even has a cat 12 LTE modem. Still some markets might fancy a Qualcomm chip since there is a great chance that it will have a fast CPU, dominant GPU and the most advanced LTE modem in the market.
It will be interesting to see how Samsung's Exynos 8890 with its custom M1 cores will compair against the Snapdragon 820 and its Kryo cores supported by Adreno 530 GPU. Samsung would rather use its own, in -house design but not at all costs. If the Snapdragon 820 ends up being significantly faster than Exynos 8890, Samsung will give up on it. The company doesn’t want to hand-deliver LG, HTC and other competitor the performance crown.
Qualcomm took things seriously after the Snapdragon 810 and the company's executives confirmed that learned a lot from that particular stuff up. The SoC performance market is getting more complicated as many players do try to get inside but we have a strong sense that Qualcomm can easily be the performance winner in this fight.

Samsung’s Galaxy S7 Specifications Claim Major Screen Size Increases

As we reach the end of November, information about the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-could-be-launched-during-the-very-beginning-of-2016/) and the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-patent-3dtouch/) has started to surface at a nice pace. We’ve seen a lot of leaks, rumors and speculation surface that peg the upcoming devices with a host of impressive features. The Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsungs-galaxy-s7-feature-high-quality-features/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsungs-exynos-8890-specifications-claim-top-notch-frequency/) are expected to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 and Samsung’s Exynos 8890 under the hood, potentially mark the return of microSD on the Galaxy S lineup and feature camera and other upgrades. Today, some information has surfaced about their screen sizes so lets take a look below at what to expect from the company at the sidelines of MWC in Barcelona next year.

Samsung Galaxy S7 And Galaxy S7 Edge To Come With 5.2 and 5.7 Inch Screens Claim Sources When it comes to the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-rumored-to-bring-back-one-crucial-feature/), we’ve heard quite a lot about the device. Samsung’s upcoming flagship launch will be vastly different from the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge, in terms of features and specifications. The Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7s-premium-edition-to-feature-14core-gpu-and-4k-display/) is expected to come with a rear camera of resolution 20.7MP that will be coupled with the company’s brand new BRITCELL imaging technology, that Samsung showed off a couple of days back.
On the processor side of things, as mentioned above, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon will be making a return to the Galaxy S lineup, after being dropped by the Korean electronics giant earlier this year. Dimension wise, both the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-undergoing-testing-att/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-unpacked-2016/) are expected to come with larger screen sizes when compared to their predecessors, something which we have also heard before.

According to them, the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/major-detailed-galaxy-s7-leak-claims-tons-stuff/) will be coming with a screen size of 5.2 inches while for those requiring even larger screens, Samsung will be offering the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-specifications-point-20mp-rear-shooter/) with a much larger screen size of 5.7 inches. Mind you that this is the same screen size found on the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, so we just might get to see three Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-rumored-sport-camera-sensor-sonys-xperia-z5-series/) variants next year, or Samsung could simple scrap away the standard Galaxy Edge.

Speaking of the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-galaxy-s7-edge-models-launched-simultaneously/), our sources also claim that the device will not only be featuring a curvature on both sides, but on the top and bottom as well. How Samsung manages to pull that off and what new features will that bring on the table, we’ll only know once the device sees the light of day. As of now, the Korean manufacturer does seem to be intent on changing things, especially with the return of microSD also rumored for both the devices. Thoughts? Let us know what you think in the comments section below and stay tuned for the latest.

Is Galaxy S7 Overheating? Samsung Looking For Heat Pipe Manufacturers Might Provide Some Evidence

When we were finally convinced that Snapdragon 820 was not going to overheat (http://wccftech.com/qualcomm-refutes-rumors-snapdragon-820-suffers-overheating/) like its predecessor, we have come across another report that states Samsung is looking for heat pipe manufacturers for its Galaxy S7. It definitely looks like the company’s upcoming flagship smartphone could be overheating, at least those ones that are running Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/S7-635x360.jpg
Heat Pipe Solution Will Overcome Overheating Issues – Samsung Making Sure Its Galaxy S7 Is Problem Free Prior To Announcement Date According to the latest report from a Chinese source, Galaxy S7 is going to be incorporated with a heat pipe solution that will keep the processor in its thermal limit. So far, we have two companies that use the exact type of heating solution for its handsets, and both of them were running a Snapdragon 810. Those smartphones were Xperia Z5 Premium and Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL. The processor running in both devices did not have their clock speeds reduced like some smartphones, indicating that there could be some scenarios where the devices could heat up abruptly, and so kudos to both firms for planning ahead of time.
Now, before jumping to conclusions, let us consider a few things. According to our report, Snapdragon 820 of Galaxy S7 are going to be available in the same number of units as the ones that feature Samsung’s Exynos 8890 SoC (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-announced/). Naturally, Samsung would want to be prepared for the worst otherwise if the Snapdragon 820 chipset variant of the smartphone starts to display overheating issues, then Samsung might have to recall all 50 percent of those units, which will put another dent in the smartphone market growth, allowing other companies like Xiaomi and Huawei to capitalize on this through smartphone discounts, or something much worse such as smear campaigns.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Qualcomm-Snapdragon2-635x356.jpg
Now, it is not necessary that the Snapdragon 820 of Galaxy S7 is overheating, but Samsung wants to make sure of that by looking for partners for mass producing heat pipe solutions specific to the design of the smartphone. Let us hope that the upcoming handset is far better than what we got to witness in 2015. According to our previously published reports, Galaxy S7 is said to feature a MicroSD card slot (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-rumored-to-bring-back-one-crucial-feature/), along with a Force Touch tech feature that is very similar to what present in Apple’s iPhones and Huawei Mate S.
With Samsung finally putting all the right things in its upcoming high-end offering, it would be a shame to see the chipset’s processor overheat. What do you think of Samsung’s latest idea to protect its Galaxy S7 from overheating? Let us know your thoughts.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Specifications Now Said To Have Little Design Changes Claims Korean Media

After a brief pause, Samsung’s Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/is-galaxy-s7-overheating-samsung-looking-for-heat-pipe-manufacturers-might-provide-some-evidence/) has started to appear once again in the rumor mill. Its been quite a while since we’ve been hearing about the device, with countless details having surfaced over the past couple of months. With only visual confirmation remaining, the device is turning out to be quite an offering as far as hardware and performance specifications are concerned. Today we’ve got some news about the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-exynos-8890-benchmarks/)‘s design details and looks like Samsung’s decided to tone down things a bit.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-concept-renders-by-Hasan-Kaymak-635x397.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-concept-renders-by-Hasan-Kaymak.jpg)
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Will Change Little In Design Terms Claim Sources With the increasing emphasis on change in the smartphone and the business world in general, manufacturers often find themselves in complicated situations when releasing high profile devices. At one end you have the need to grow or keep market share intact and at the other end there’s also a growing need of keeping devices unique and differentiated in terms of branding and customer experience. All of this, combined with the need to take hardware performance at the next level with every flagship launch makes being a smartphone manufacturer in today’s world quite a complicated job indeed.
As a manufacturer, Samsung saw some mixed fortunes with the launch of the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge last year, with both the devices coming with impressive designs and top-tier hardware specifications on board. While a high market demand did create some supply issues for Samsung, when compared to their predecessors, the pair was a vastly overhauled offering. And looks like Samsung’s decided to keep some things similar on next year’s Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-screen-resolution-size/) launch, according to some information from the Korean media today.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/concept-de-samsung-galaxy-s7-635x397.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/concept-de-samsung-galaxy-s7.jpg)The Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-rumored-to-bring-back-one-crucial-feature/), as pointed out above, has been a feature of countless leaks and speculations so far. Samsung’s next flagship offering is expected to come with a lot of improvements on board, which start with all new chipsets on board. The Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-galaxy-s7-edge-models-launched-simultaneously/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-undergoing-testing-att/) is expected to come with both Samsung’s Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-variants/) and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 on board, processors that are expected to set the pace for things in 2016.

In addition to top performing processors, the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-specifications-point-20mp-rear-shooter/) is also expected to come with RAW image support and a 20MP rear camera that’s combined with Samsung’s latest BRITCELL, successor to the Korean manufacturer’s already popular ISOCELL. A special attention has also been to the device’s multimedia capabilities, we’ve managed to learn. The Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsungs-galaxy-s7-feature-high-quality-features/) will be coming with ESS’ Sabre 9018AQ2M headphone amplifier solution that, coupled with USB Type – C (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-feature-blazing-fast-data-speeds-typec-connectivity/) should make using the device one good experience indeed.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Galaxy-S7-concept-design-1024x575-635x357.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Galaxy-S7-concept-design-1024x575.jpg)Hardware specifications aside, one thing that we’ve been continuously curious about on the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsungs-lucky-lte-beats-snapdragon-820-hands-latest-leak/) is the device’s design. After all, Samsung must be facing similar pressures that Apple did when launching the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus this year but by the looks of things, if you’re expecting the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-patent-3dtouch/) to be massively overhauled in terms of design, then you’d be wrong.
The Korean media is reporting that the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-rumored-to-bring-back-one-crucial-feature/) will not be featuring any major design changes, and will be launched in a design language similar to this year’s Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge. If Samsung manages to deliver on the device’s performance segments, then we wouldn’t be disappointed at this, since changing and perfecting a device’s design does take quite while, as Apple has proved time and time again. Thoughts? Let us know what you think in the comments section below and stay tuned for the latest.

Samsung's Galaxy S7 may feature overclocked Snapdragon 820 cooled by heatpipes


http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015/12/2015-12-07-image-6.jpg


There’s a flurry of rumors surrounding Samsung’s next Galaxy flagship, the S7 (http://www.techspot.com/news/62790-att-samsung-galaxy-s7-q1-2016.html). The latest rumblings have to do with heat – or more specifically, how to handle the potential thermal problem that Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://www.techspot.com/news/62739-qualcomm-showcases-quad-core-snapdragon-820-adreno-530.html) may bring.
For those that haven’t been keeping up, Samsung famously snubbed Qualcomm and its Snapdragon 810 in the Galaxy S6 due to overheating concerns. With the Galaxy S7, we’re hearing that Samsung will rekindle its relationship with Qualcomm and use the Snapdragon 820 in some (regional) models.
Here lately, however, rumors circulating suggest Samsung may be looking for a bit of an insurance policy in the form of a passive cooling system for the phone.
http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015/12/2015-12-07-image-7.jpg
As Android Headlines (http://www.androidheadlines.com/2015/12/samsung-engineer-talks-on-cooling-system-rumored-for-galaxy-s7.html) notes, an alleged Samsung engineer recently posted on Weibo to defend the company. The engineer said that thermal design is an art and that while operating temperature can affect a chip’s performance, having a passive cooling system doesn’t necessarily mean something is wrong with a chip.
Instead, the engineer suggests that because the chip can stay cooler, the device may have a bit more performance. If you’ve been keeping pace with rumors, you know that this jives perfectly with rumblings that Samsung may use an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 820 in the Galaxy S7.
Other rumors suggest Samsung may come in at a cheaper price point and even bring back the beloved microSD card slot.
It’s worth reiterating that all of this is hearsay at the moment and we won’t know anything for certain until early next year at the soonest.

Galaxy S7 Case Renders Show A Very Interesting Dimension Figure Of The Upcoming Smartphone

We have reported a ton of rumors and leaks concerning Galaxy S7 concerning the hardware specifications, but have not been able to gain a valuable amount of insight into the device’s dimensions, until now. Thanks to a third party manufacturer, we finally know the size of Samsung’s upcoming flagship smartphone, and it will puzzle you to a whole new degree.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/S71-635x360.jpg
Galaxy S7 Could Feature A Screen Size That Is Much Larger Compared To Galaxy Note 5 Third-party accessory makers, with one name in particular ITSKINS eventually get details concerning the dimensions and features of the smartphones prior to their official announcement so that they can start preparing their cases ahead of time. While the information is quite scarce, the dimensions reveal that Galaxy S7 could have a screen size of 6 inches, which is slightly larger than the screen size of Galaxy Note 5.
There are obvious advantages of having a larger screen size with the primary one being that Samsung will finally have enough room to accommodate a large battery capacity, which we are actually hoping for after the mess the company made with its previous generation devices (incorporating a much smaller capacity as compared to its predecessors).
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/gsmarena_002-635x582.jpg

Given below are all the dimension details of Galaxy S7. Keep in mind that there are going to be two models of the device.


Regular version: 143.37 x 70.8 x 6.94mm
Plus version: 163.32 x 82.01 x 7.82mm

As for the hardware specifications, we do know that the upcoming handset is going to be sold in both the Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-announced/) and Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-leaked-completely-manufacturing-process/) chipset versions. There is no cutout in the smartphone that looks remotely similar to a MicroSD card slot, but we did report that Galaxy S7 could see the return of the storage card slot (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-rumored-to-bring-back-one-crucial-feature/), which will definitely be a killer feature for majority of consumers who were bitterly disappointed with what Samsung had done with its current lineup.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/gsmarena_003-635x413.jpg

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/gsmarena_004-635x405.jpg

With MicroSD storage support going as high as 512GB (http://wccftech.com/microdia-stuffs-512-gb-storage-microsd-card-overtakes-sandisk/), it is high time that Samsung was serious about bringing back this feature. Let us hope that Samsung does not leave us bitterly disappointed this time. As for the software, it was rumored that Google has lending a helping hand to the South Korean tech giant in order to help the latter with improving its software to a whole new degree (http://wccftech.com/google-reported-aiding-samsung-refining-touchwiz-interface/).
What do you guys think of Samsung’s upcoming flagship smartphone so far? Are you excited to see a mammoth sized handset being announced? Let us know your thoughts.

Galaxy S7: Looks Like There Are Going To Be A Total Of Four Models For Sale

For fans waiting for Galaxy S7 to come out, according to the latest leak, it looks like Samsung has an ace up its sleeve as far as its upcoming flagship smartphone is concerned.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/S72-635x360.jpg
Looks Like There Are Going To Be A Total Of Four Galaxy S7 Models That Are Going To Be Released In The Distant Future According to a source, Galaxy S7 is going to be available in the following models:


Galaxy S7
Galaxy S7 Edge
Galaxy S7 Edge Plus
Galaxy S7 Plus

That being said, there are effectively going to be eight models being rolled out since half the number of units (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-50-percent-units-running-snapdragon-820/) are going to be running an Exynos 8890 SoC (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-announced/), while the remainder of the units are going to be running Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/qualcomms-adreno-530-outperform-apples-a9/), which has been manufactured on Samsung’s newest 14nm FinFET process (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-leaked-completely-manufacturing-process/). It will be a very interesting launch event, since this is possibly the first time we are seeing that the company is going to be rolling out four different models in a single announcement period. The ‘Plus’ versions of the smartphone are expected to sport a screen size of 6 inches, according to the dimensions used by third party case manufacturers (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-case-renders-show-a-very-interesting-dimension-figure-of-the-upcoming-smartphone/).
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Samsung-Exynos2-635x356.png
Advertisements


It looks like we will finally get to see the return of the MicroSD card slot (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-rumored-to-bring-back-one-crucial-feature/), which was a critical feature that was sorely missing from all of the high-end smartphones that Samsung announced in 2015. Hopefully, the South Korean tech giant would have more sense to cater to the masses instead of looking out for its own pocket. One huge performance difference in our opinion would be to greatly modify its TouchWiz interface.
The interface has been severely criticized of chewing up a significant portion of core system resources such as processor speed and RAM, and while Samsung has done well in the hardware department, the tech firm still needs to prove itself extensively in the software department. Apple knew this all along; hardware can never do well without software, which is why the California based tech giant used all of its resources to create an optimized mobile and desktop platform.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/12.png
If Samsung can mildly improve its interface, it will finally be able to see an influx of sales that the company saw when it released devices like Galaxy S3 and S4. Galaxy S7 is also expected to feature the same camera sensor tech (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-rumored-sport-camera-sensor-sonys-xperia-z5-series/) as Sony’s Xperia Z5 lineup so in addition of delivering raw performance, the handset is most likely going to make its mark in the smartphone photography section as well. Let us hope that the company awes us with the something completely new. What are your thoughts on the upcoming flagship smartphone? Let us know your thoughts.

Rumor suggests Samsung Galaxy S7 will have pressure sensitive screen


http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015/12/2015-12-14-image.jpg


Considering Samsung typically launches a new flagship smartphone in the first few months of the year, it shouldn't be overly surprising that rumors relating to the Galaxy S7 are starting to appear with greater frequency.
The latest rumor, as reported by The Wall Street Journal (http://www.wsj.com/articles/samsung-adding-pressure-sensitive-display-high-speed-charging-port-to-galaxy-s7-1450083387), suggests that the Korean giant will be adding a pressure sensitive touchscreen to the Galaxy S7. The screen will feature functionality similar to Apple's 3D Touch display in the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, giving users extra methods of interaction through pressing harder on the display.
The WSJ also suggests that the Galaxy S7 will feature a reversible USB Type-C port and much faster charging, allowing the battery to be charged fully in under 30 minutes "and in some cases significantly faster than that". The camera will be improved as well, with better low-light performance in a slimmer module, removing the need for a camera hump.
Design-wise, the Galaxy S7 is said to be very similar to the Galaxy S6, and of course Samsung is planning to release it alongside a curved-screen Galaxy S7 Edge. Some variants of the device could feature a retina scanner, while the non-Edge model could bring back the microSD card slot.
Surprising no one, it's expected the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge will be unveiled at Mobile World Congress in late February, ahead of a mid-March release. Unfortunately we haven't heard any rumors about Samsung increasing the size of the battery inside the Galaxy S7: an improvement that, unlike a pressure sensitive touchscreen, is most needed after the poor battery performance of the Galaxy S6.

Samsung Galaxy S7 improvements to include a 'force touch' display

Thanks to a new report published (http://www.wsj.com/articles/samsung-adding-pressure-sensitive-display-high-speed-charging-port-to-galaxy-s7-1450083387) by The Wall Street Journal, citing insider sources, we have a pretty good idea of the feature uplifts coming to the Samsung Galaxy S7. Just like with the Galaxy S6 launch there will be more than one version of the next flagship; expect at least a curved Galaxy S7 Edge to accompany the regular Galaxy S7.
For clarity I have bullet pointed the key new technologies coming to the Galaxy S7 flagship smartphone(s):


A pressure sensitive screen: this will be accompanied by 'force touch' UI style niceties, of course.
USB Type-C: convenient orientation, fast charging (a full day charge in 30 mins) and speedy data transfer capable next gen connector.
Improved camera sensor for the common challenge of low light photography (probably the BRITECELL (http://hexus.net/ce/news/cameras/88268-samsung-details-britecell-camera-sensor-technology/)). There won't be a camera bump or bulge say the sources.
The non-curved screen Galaxy S7 smartphone(s) will have microSD expandability.
A retina scanner might appear too.
The design of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge won't be a long way away from the S6 family.

http://hexus.net/media/uploaded/2015/12/563779d4-ad4f-485c-97b5-a71a28d6a5b3.jpg

The Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge Last time around Samsung misread the potential demand for the curved screen version of its flagship, the Galaxy S6 Edge. It could have sold a lot more of these more expensive smartphone variants but missed the opportunity to do so. That mistake won't be repeated, says the WSJ.
Another smart business decision is to make the Galaxy S7 smartphones more immediately available after unveiling, an event expected at the MWC 2016. Last year there was a six week delay between the publicity buzz and eventual product availability. This year a mid-March product release will capitalise on the media excitement.
http://hexus.net/media/uploaded/2015/12/67aaffcb-f9a1-4ea1-b16b-cfdadae811e5.jpg
Overall it sounds like a worthy update to Samsung's flagship. It will also be interesting to see if MWC 2016 (or CES 2016) brings along any more innovative designs from Samsung using its impressive flexible screen and flexible battery technologies, such as Project Valley (http://hexus.net/ce/news/mobile-phones/87635-samsung-project-valley-foldable-smartphone-arrive-january/).

Galaxy S7 rumored with expandable storage, USB Type-C, fast charge

While we reported that Samsung is preparing four different Galaxy S7 models for 2016 (http://www.tweaktown.com/news/48930/samsung-reportedly-preparing-four-different-galaxy-s7-models-2016/index.html), The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) (http://www.wsj.com/articles/samsung-adding-pressure-sensitive-display-high-speed-charging-port-to-galaxy-s7-1450083387) and Gizmodo (http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2015/12/wsjsamsung-galaxy-s7-will-have-pressure-sensitive-screen-fast-charging/) have let us in on a little more information about this new champion product release.

Set to include an pressure-sensitive screen like Apple's 3D Touch (http://www.tweaktown.com/news/47491/apple-reveals-iphone-6s-plus-3d-touch/index.html) and fast charging capabilities, it's also claimed that the new Galaxy S7 will don the all-new USB Type-C port. This new port inclusion is set to be the vehicle for fast charging capabilities, with WSJ claiming that a quick 30-minute charging time of a brand-new S7 will see a full day's charge enjoyed. If Samsung's new Galaxy S7 does indeed ship with a pressure-sensitive screen, it'll likely utilize Synaptics' new ClearPad 3700 Display Controller which is designed to bring 3D Touch to the Android market (http://www.tweaktown.com/news/47895/apples-3d-touch-coming-android-phones/index.html).

Set to be released with Edge and 'normal' Samsung screens, the latter design is said to contain an expandable memory port, an improved camera for lowlight operations and a thinner lens design. This information has not been confirmed yet by Samsung themselves, but the inclusion of an external memory port, likely to be some form of an SD card, will be a welcome feature for many Android users.dly-preparing-four-different-galaxy-s7-models-2016/index.html

Realistic Samsung Galaxy S7 Concept That Has Been Winning the Hearts

Samsung’s next flagship smartphone will be released in the next few months. As we get closer to the launch of a new flagship, we also start receiving more rumors, leaks and speculations around the smartphone. These rumors and leaks when paired with the imagination of an artist often result in some stunning concepts that we devour ahead of the official release. Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-design/) may still be a few months away, but the concept designs are already flooding in.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/35-635x356.jpg
Realistic Galaxy S7 concept images and video: Jermaine Smit, a very well-known concept designer, has released a Galaxy S7 concept that looks absolutely beautiful and quite realistic too. Unlike the futuristic concepts often inspired from sci-fi movies, this particular Galaxy S7 concept looks real and possible. An edge-to-edge display, design ideology of Galaxy S6, this Galaxy S7 concept is far from the dreamlands. According to the rumors so far, Samsung Galaxy S7 will be sticking to the Galaxy S6 design which seems to be the foundation of this concept as well.
Samsung Galaxy S7 is expected to be released with an Exynos 8890 / Snapdragon 820 processing unit, 4 GB of RAM, a 12 megapixel camera with F1.8 aperture, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow (http://wccftech.com/how-to-access-stock-android-6-file-explorer/). Following are the concept images and video, shared by Sammobile (http://www.sammobile.com/2015/12/17/what-do-you-think-about-this-samsung-galaxy-s7-concept/). What we hear from the rumors and leaks, the flagship from Samsung won’t deviate too much from this concept in terms of design.

Galaxy S7 Images Leak Shows Dissembled Device With All Internals Included

Customers who have been patiently waiting to get their hands on a Galaxy S7 will finally know that they can expect from the device in terms of both the internal components and the chassis that it will sport once it finally gets official announced. Here are all the factory images of the upcoming flagship smartphone from Samsung.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/S73-635x360.jpg
Galaxy S7 Factory Images Leaked – See Every Single Component Right Before Your Eyes While the original post from Chinese micro-blogging website Weibo had been removed immediately, Slashgear was able to get a hold of the images and you can see the kind of hardware that is going to be present inside the upcoming handset. Looks like Samsung is going to adopt the same metallic design like it did with its previous flagship smartphone lineup and surprisingly, the battery capacity is looking to be much larger, meaning that we will finally get to see a larger cell present in the high-end device.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/webber-635x387.jpg
Combine that with either a Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-leaked-completely-manufacturing-process/) or Samsung’s own Exynos 8890 SoC (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-announced/), and you will have one of the most efficient devices to be rolled out by the company. Also, thanks to the improved 14nm FinFET LPP architecture, you can expect even better efficiency from the handset. However, as much as we are hoping to see the performance of the flagship smartphone, we cannot quite make out which version of Galaxy S7 can currently be seen in the images. As we reported earlier, Galaxy S7 was not going to be coming out in two models, but a total of four models (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-total-models-sale/), showing that Samsung wants to put extra emphasis on its high-end category of devices (for God knows what reason).

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/innard-635x371.jpg
Additionally, there have been rumors that these devices will also see the return of the MicroSD card slot (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-rumored-to-bring-back-one-crucial-feature/), though we cannot tell from the images if there is going to be an expandable storage slot or not. Looks like we are going to find out in the future. As for the software, let us hope that Samsung has finally learnt its lesson of incorporating a RAM hungry interface and will be making strides in ensuring that its flagship offering provides a much more resource friendly interface to millions of users out there.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/chassis-635x441.jpg
We will continue to update you on all the aspects of Galaxy S7, so you guys should stay tuned for more updates. What did you guys think of the latest images? Let us know your thoughts right away.

Samsung planning 5 million Galaxy S7 smartphones,

http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/aabbdb00eb6a039355bff108de2aefb8_L.jpg (http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/aabbdb00eb6a039355bff108de2aefb8_XL.jpg)

Two different flavours
Samsung Electronics the world's top smartphone maker, plans an initial production run of about 5 million of its upcoming Galaxy S7 smartphones.

According to South Korea's Electronic Times (http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/hardware/samsung-electronics-plans-initial-production-of-5-million-galaxy-s7-phones-report/articleshow/50347876.cms)Samsung is planning to launch two different versions of its new Hero flagship smartphone: a 5.2-inch flat-screen version, and a 5.5-inch, curved-screen version that will be called the 'Galaxy S7 edge'.
Samsung plans to initially make 3.3 million of the flat-screen devices and around 1.6 million of the curved-screen version, the report said, with plans to launch the handset in February. This approach is similar to that of Apple’s approach when it released iPhone 6 in 4.7-inch (iPhone 6) and 5.5-inch (iPhone 6 Plus) last year.
Samsung Electronics plans to flog 400 million phones in 2016. Its number of target is similar or bit smaller than this year. Industries are focusing on whether or not Samsung Electronics can break through Smartphone markets where they are saturated and which is why the Galaxy S7 is so important.
Hero goes to mass-production from February of 2016 and its release date will be soon after.

Galaxy S7 Has Been Reported To Come In Two Screen Sizes; Here Are Their Dimensions

After seeing the benchmarking scores (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-a9-benchmarking-scores/) of Galaxy A9, we are even more excited to see what kind of power Galaxy S7 is going to be packing. There is still some time for that unfortunately, and the latest report suggests that there are going to several screen sizes of the upcoming mobile computing powerhouse, which means that there is a high chance that we are going to see varied results in terms of performance.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/S74-635x360.jpg
Galaxy S7 To Come In Two Screens Sizes; 5.2 Inches And 5.5 inches According to the latest report, Galaxy S7 is going to be coming out in two screen sizes, but surprisingly, the source did not manage to state that if both versions are going to retain the same resolution or not, which will be finding out in a few months. Earlier, we did state that the upcoming flagship smartphone was going to have several variants (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-total-models-sale/), and they have been listed below:


Galaxy S7
Galaxy S7 Edge
Galaxy S7 Edge Plus
Galaxy S7 Plus

As the name suggests, the regular version of the handset is going to feature a screen size of 5.2 inches, while the name with ‘Plus’ at the end is definitely going to have a 5.5 inch display, if the report turns out to be true. All in all, it looks like there are going to be a lot more models for consumers to choose, which might make it a tad bit difficult to reach the end of your purchasing decision since according to our latest report, 50 percent of the produced units (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-50-percent-units-running-snapdragon-820/) are going to be running a Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-leaked-completely-manufacturing-process/), while the remainder are going to be running an Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-announced/), Samsung’s flagship smartphone SoC.
Advertisements


http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Samsung-Exynos3-635x356.png
Despite the fact that there will be several models to choose from, we will still be detailing each and every one of them in order to make your purchase a tad bit simpler, in case you ever intended of upgrading to Galaxy S7. While we still have no word on the resolution, we still believe that both screen size variants will have a 1440p display, since a 4K display will decimate battery life like there is no tomorrow. However, perhaps the biggest feature that we have been waiting for is the return of the MicroSD card (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-rumored-to-bring-back-one-crucial-feature/), which was a feature that was sorely missed from Samsung’s previous generation of flagship phones.
How do you expect Galaxy S7 is going to be popular among the masses? Is it going to be a hit, or a miss? Let us know your thoughts.

Samsung could launch the Galaxy S7 earlier than expected (http://www.kitguru.net/laptops/mobile/matthew-wilson/galaxy-s7-release-date/)


It looks like Samsung might be preparing to launch the Galaxy S7 a little earlier than expected as a Chinese network provider has leaked images of an internal presentation, revealing slides for the Galaxy S7’s release. According to the slides, we can expect the Galaxy S7 to be revealed in February and presumably we will also see the Galaxy S7 Edge.
This would be a pretty big change for Samsung as typically its flagship Galaxy announcements have landed somewhere in Q2. That said, even if the Galaxy S7 is announced in February, there is no guarantee that it will release that month, as was the case with the Galaxy S6, which was announced in March and hit stores in April.
http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/galaxy-s6-edge-exquisitely-crafted-desktop-e142841361934711-1.jpg (http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/galaxy-s6-edge-exquisitely-crafted-desktop-e142841361934711-1.jpg)
The downside to this is that the Galaxy S6 will have had a fairly short ten-month life-cycle. However, this wouldn’t be the first time Samsung has taken this approach, as the Galaxy Note 5 also launched earlier than expected last year, cutting the Galaxy Note 4’s life cycle down to ten months as well. As Forbes points out (http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2015/12/26/galaxy-s7-release-date-leaks/?utm_campaign=ForbesTech&utm_source=TWITTER&utm_medium=social&utm_channel=Technology&linkId=19914485), this will also give Samsung a longer head start on next year’s iPhone release.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Leak Points To 5.7-inch Display Option And 4GB RAM


Samsung (http://hothardware.com/tags/samsung) has a new boss (http://hothardware.com/news/samsung-receives-new-mobile-chief-to-reverse-downward-trending-smartphone-sales-earnings) in charge of its mobile (http://hothardware.com/tags/mobile-)division, D.J. Koh, and the pressure's on to turn things around after a series of missteps that led to a changing of the guard. His first real test will be the impending launch of Samsung's Galaxy S7 handset, an as-yet unannounced phone that's rumored to ship with a 5.7-inch display.

Previous rumors pointed to a 5.5-inch display for the Galaxy S7, though based on a screenshot showing the phone's specs, it appears that Samsung plans to roll with a 5.7-inch display instead, at least for one of the models -- there's been chatter that Samsung could release two or even three display options. That brings up several possible scenarios, one of them being a 5.1-inch Galaxy S7 and a 5.7-inch Galaxy S7 Edge.

According to the screenshot, Samsung will source Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 SoC (http://hothardware.com/news/qualcomm-unleashes-snapdragon-820-with-adreno-530-graphics) to power its next-generation flagships as opposed to its own Exynos chips, though Samsung's also been known to use different chipsets in different territories.

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36138/content/Samsung_Galaxy_S6_Edge.jpg


Assuming the screenshot is right on the money, the Galaxy S7 will also rock 4GB of RAM, sport a fingerprint sensor, and snap photos with a 12.2-megapixel rear shooter and 5-megapixel front shooter. Considering that Samsung's Galaxy A9 (http://hothardware.com/news/samsung-announces-galaxy-a9-with-6-inch-display-massive-4000-mah-battery) features an 8-megapixel front camera, we're hoping the final version of the Galaxy S7 gets bumped up from 5-megapixels.

Specs are only half the battle. The other challenge Mr. Koh faces is anticipating demand and then executing production accordingly. That's something Samsung's former mobile boss J.K. Shin struggled with, as he failed to anticipate (http://hothardware.com/news/demand-is-greatly-outstripping-supply-for-both-samsung-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge) how popular the Galaxy S6 Edge would be. Combined with production woes (http://hothardware.com/news/production-difficulties-result-in-early-shortages-for-curved-screen-samsung-galaxy-s6-edge), there ended up being a shortage, which hurt Samsung's bottom line (http://hothardware.com/news/galaxy-s6-edge-shortages-cloud-samsungs-q2-sales-financial-expectations).

Galaxy S7 Appears On AnTuTu, But Its Screen Size Remains The Same As Its Predecessor’s

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S7 appears on AnTuTu with the primary of its specifications listings, but it appears that the company has retained the screen sizes between it and its predecessor, Galaxy S6.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/S7-635x360.jpg
Galaxy S7 To Have A 5.1 Inch Screen Size – Maybe It Is Just One Variant That We Are Looking At If you look at the image below, Galaxy S7 will feature a screen size of 5.1 inches, and will exude a resolution measuring at 2560 by 1440 pixels. If these specs turn out to be true, then it appears that we should thank Samsung for not going overboard and incorporating a 4K display. Coming to the screen size, it looks like there was only one model of the handset whose specifications were listed because according to our previous reports (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-total-models-sale/), we did cover that Galaxy S7 is going to be available in the following models:


Galaxy S7
Galaxy S7 Edge
Galaxy S7 Edge Plus
Galaxy S7 Plus

In total, there are going to effectively be eight smartphone models, because four of them will be sporting Samsung’s Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-announced/), while the remaining 50 percent of the units (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-50-percent-units-running-snapdragon-820/) are going to sport Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-version-latest-benches-roll/), which is manufactured on the 14nm LPP technology (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-leaked-completely-manufacturing-process/). The models that feature the ‘Plus’ at the end of their name will obviously have a larger screen size, otherwise why would a name want to be used with a handset? Another interesting thing to note here is that the upcoming device will have a rear shooter of 12MP, which is a downgrade of 4MP compared to its predecessor, if you are only counting the number of megapixels the rear sensor is going to be using.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/s7-edge-antutu-341x540.jpg
However, we have seen time and time again that megapixels carry very little weightage as new sensor technology always makes up for the reduced number of megapixels. That being said, a reduction in megapixels will also mean that more light will be able to enter per pixel, so your final results will look much better in low-light conditions, a condition where every smartphone camera suffers. This, along with a wider fixed aperture will definitely be a game changer when you are snapping a quick fire of images in locations where there is low level of lighting.
There is also a very high chance that Galaxy S7 could bring back the MicroSD slot (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-rumored-to-bring-back-one-crucial-feature/), since that feature was sorely missed from the company’s previous flagship lineup. What features do you want to see from the upcoming smartphone? Let us know your thoughts in the polls below.

Charming Galaxy S7 Concept with Reimagined Curved Display to Warm Your Hearts

Samsung’s next flagship smartphone series isn’t too far away from its launch now, expected at the Mobile World Congress 2016. Samsung is reportedly creating two models of the smartphone with one sporting a curved design. While there are plenty of rumors detailing the specs and features of the upcoming flagship series from Sammy, there is no confirmation as to what design or spec changes we are looking at. Analysts believe that Samsung won’t be going too far from the Galaxy S6 series (http://wccftech.com/how-to-flash-android-5-1-1-galaxy-s6-custom-rom/) in terms of design. However, that doesn’t mean that designers also have to stick to last year’s design.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/s7edge_3-635x423.jpg
We have already seen a couple of Samsung Galaxy S7 concepts (http://wccftech.com/realistic-galaxy-s7-concept-winning-the-hearts/), with the latest focusing on the Galaxy S7 Edge with a look that definitely can’t be considered realistic but is obviously quite attractive, to say the least. Case manufacturers have already started making cases (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-case-renders-show-a-very-interesting-dimension-figure-of-the-upcoming-smartphone/) for the Galaxy S7, which means the hopes of seeing a new design are close to nada. The popular concept designer, Martin Hajek (http://wccftech.com/apples-ipad-pro-bezel/), has shared his own imagination around the upcoming flagship smartphone and it doesn’t seem to follow what case makers or others believe would be the new device.
Sharing his video with a German tech channel Curved (https://curved.de/news/curvedlabs-das-galaxy-s7-unserer-traeume-338725), the design neither seems logical nor realistic. Sporting a screen that is curved at the bottom of the device, the Home button is integrated right into the edged display. A USB Type C at the top of the Galaxy S7, microSD slot at the bottom, the Galaxy S7 Edge concept looks inspired by both the Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6’s design. Also, don’t forget to spot the camera with no protrusion whatsoever.

Here are the images, video and specs shared by the designer. Realistic for this year’s Galaxy S7 or not, it’s quite fun to look at this design ingenuity.


<iframe width="635" height="388" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QSFQKgpEZAM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>



Galaxy S7 Edge specs:
– design language based on Galaxy S6 edge (http://wccftech.com/g925vvru3bog5-android-5-1-1-for-galaxy-s6-edge/)
– main camera now flush with back side(no protrusion)
– back side has soft/rounded edges, like Apple’s iPhone 6/6s
– back side is a full metal case
– the front display has an additional curve; towards the bottom area (curved display now not just along the long edges).
– this allows for the home button to be integrated in the front glass
– USB-C included
– microSD card slot
– display 5.3″ instead of 5.1″ in a package the same overall size as the galaxy S6 edge

Samsung’s Galaxy S7 Pricing Details Share Attractive Details

As we finally get to set in 2016, all eyes are on Samsung’s upcoming launches of the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/charming-galaxy-s7-edge-concept-to-warm-your-hearts/) flagship lineup of smartphones expected from the Korean manufacturer at the cohorts of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Given the nature of the leak and the rumor mill we’ve seen a lot surface about the device over the past couple of months, so heading into February we have quite a decent idea of what to expect from Samsung’s flagship smartphone, all set to dictate the pace for Android flagships in 2016.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/concept-de-samsung-galaxy-s7-635x397.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/concept-de-samsung-galaxy-s7.jpg) Samsung’s Galaxy S7 To Be Cheaper Than Predecessors Claim South Korean Media Reports When it comes to the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-appears-on-antutu/) we know quite a lot of things about the device by now. Its expected to be launched with Samsung’s Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-exynos-8890-benchmarks/) and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-version-latest-benches-roll/) on board, both of which will take things in mobile processing to the next level. Aside from this, Samsung’s also expected to upgrade the rear camera sensor, battery and overall design aesthetics which are expected to make this year’s Samsung Galaxy flagship a vastly different device from last year’s offerings.
Samsung did after all manage to significantly shake up things on the Galaxy smartphone lineup with the Galaxy S6 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-and-galaxy-s6-edge-price-cuts/) and the Galaxy S6 Edge (http://wccftech.com/price-cuts-galaxy-s6-mobile-leading/) launched last year. Not only did both the devices come with a completely new design and build materials, but we also saw the company’s in-house Exynos 7420 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-exynos-atom-a8-benchmarks/) receive extra attention with the launch of the devices. Throttling didn’t do any wonders for the Snapdragon 810 (http://wccftech.com/mediatek-helio-benchmarks-htc-a9/) and Samsung chose to rely only on its own silicon last year.

Sources in Samsung’s home country, South Korea have started to speak up about the pricing details of the upcoming flagship smartphones and according to them, Samsung’s going to go a bit easy on your pockets this time around.
According to sources, the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-design/) will be 10% cheaper than its predecessor, which means that we’re looking at a price reduction of around $40 this time around. Samsung ran into a bit of bad luck last year with the Galaxy S6 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-models-will-have-their-prices-adjusted/) and its pricing as the Korean manufacturer saw market prices of its premium flagship smartphone decline all around. Looks like the company is eager to learn from the mistakes of the past. We hope it does. Thoughts? Let us know what you think in the comments section below and stay tuned for the latest.

Galaxy S7 And Galaxy S7 Edge Getting Dual SIM Variants As They Pass The Certification Process

Before Galaxy S7 and its respected counterparts are officially announced, they will obviously go through a certification process. Now, the latest leak suggests that both variants of the flagship are going to be receiving a dual-SIM variant, suggesting that there are even more models appearing in the near future.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/S71-635x360.jpg
Galaxy S7 And Galaxy S7 Edge Getting Dual SIM Variants According To The Latest Certification Checks We already knew since a long period that there were going to be several models of Galaxy S7 coming through. However, the latest certification checks (present in the image below) show that Samsung wants to flood the market with as many models as possible, which might become a little difficult when you are picky about which handset model to purchase, but that is what we will be helping you out with when the device and its different models have been officially announced. Galaxy S7 will be releasing in two chipset models; one will be armed with a Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-version-latest-benches-roll/), while the other will be running an Exyos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-detailed-infograph/).
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/rumor_samsung_galaxy_s7.jpg
Both SoCs will be manufactured on Samsung’s 14nm FinFET LPP process (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-manufacturing-contract-samsung/), signifying better efficiency and performance across the board. As for how many models can we actually receive during the official announcement, we did report that Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-total-models-sale/) would be coming in the following variants.

Galaxy S7 Edge

In another report, we stated that the smartphone would be coming in the 5.1 and 5.7 inch screen size models (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-has-been-reported-to-come-in-two-screen-sizes-here-are-their-dimensions/), but so far, we can only see the specifications of the smaller variant (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-appears-on-antutu/). There is also a rumor that Samsung will be incorporating the highly coveted MicroSD card slot (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-rumored-to-bring-back-one-crucial-feature/); a feature that was sorely missing from the powerful, yet feature-severed flagship family of South Korean tech giant. Samsung appears to be on its highest level of defense because according to another report, the company was looking for heat pipe manufacturers to incorporate thermal heat pipe solutions (http://wccftech.com/is-galaxy-s7-overheating-samsung-looking-for-heat-pipe-manufacturers-might-provide-some-evidence/), most likely as a contingency plan if Snapdragon 820 develops an overheating issue, which was an attribute rife with Snapdragon 810.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/bocoran_spesifikasi_samsung_galaxy_s7.jpg
For once, we’d like to believe that Samsung has finally learnt its lesson with its previous flagship family and will be making amends to make sure that its latest and greatest smartphone offering will eclipse the remainder of the competition.

Here Are The Hardware Specifications Of Galaxy S7, According To The Latest Leak

In our last reported leak, we detailed that there are going to be dual-SIM variants of Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-dual-sim-variants-certification/), suggesting that there are a going to be a ton of models to choose from. Now, we will detail what looks to be the final specification sheet of the smartphone, at least according to the latest leak and they have been shown in the table below.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/S72-635x360.jpg
Galaxy S7 Will Sport A 5.1 Inch Screen, Quad HD Display And A Bunch Of Really Impressive Integrated Hardware Now that Qualcomm has finally cleaned up its act with its Snapdragon 820 SoC (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-leaked-completely-manufacturing-process/), not to mention that there is a slight chance that the company will be working on a second revision of the chipset (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-version-latest-benches-roll/), looks like Samsung is finally comfortable in incorporating the 14nm LPP chip inside its flagship handset. According to our previous reports, 50 percent of the total Galaxy S7 lineup (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-50-percent-units-running-snapdragon-820/) manufactured by the South Korean tech giant are going to feature Qualcomm’s high-end chipset, while the remaining number of units will sport the company’s own developed SoC, which if you do not know, is called Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-announced/).
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Samsung-Exynos-2-635x360.png
To show how proud it is of its flagship chipset, Samsung released an official press release detailing a very large infograph (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-detailed-infograph/), indicating that the best from Samsung in terms of mobile hardware is yet to be witnessed by us. Thanks to Samsung’s superior manufacturing process, is it any wonder that Qualcomm ditched TSMC and made the tech giant its chief supplier (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-manufacturing-contract-samsung/)? As for Galaxy S7, we expect that the upcoming handset is going to feature several models (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-total-models-sale/), which have been listed below, and aside from that, we also feel that the MicroSD card slot (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-rumored-to-bring-back-one-crucial-feature/) is going to make a return to the lineup.

As for the camera sensor, it looks like Samsung is going to be incorporating a brand new tech (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-rumored-sport-camera-sensor-sonys-xperia-z5-series/) in order to surpass the image and recording capabilities of both Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note 5. While the number of megapixels have reduced, the added benefit will be that it will allow more light to pass per pixel, making the new sensor work like a champ in low-light conditions. Right now, majority of smartphones, even those belonging at the top of the food chain might have capable camera sensors, but they all suffer in low-light conditions.

Samsung's Galaxy S7 hardware revealed in benchmark results


http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2016/01/2016-01-20-image-9.jpg


With Mobile World Congress just over a month away, rumors regarding upcoming smartphones are circulating at a feverish pace. One of the most anticipated phones of the year, Samsung's Galaxy S7 (http://www.techspot.com/news/62790-att-samsung-galaxy-s7-q1-2016.html), is the subject of a new report from PhoneArena (http://www.phonearena.com/news/AnTuTu-posts-the-specs-of-Galaxy-S7-with-Exynos-8890-promises-benchmark-scores-later_id77573).
The publication recently caught wind of an AnTuTu benchmark result purported run on the Galaxy S7 (or at least, one of multiple expected variants).
The handset, codenamed SM-G930F, is said to include a 5.1-inch display operating at 2,560 x 1,440 that's powered by Samsung's own octa-core Exynos 8890 SoC alongside a hearty 4GB of RAM and 64GB of local storage.
http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2016/01/2016-01-20-image-10.jpg
The Galaxy S7 in question is equipped with a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera, somewhat of a surprise since Samsung has been willing to participate in the megapixel race for so long (the Galaxy S6 (http://www.techspot.com/review/996-samsung-galaxy-s6/), for example, utilizes a 16-megapixel sensor). Fewer (but larger) pixels allow the camera to collect more light, thus improving low-light image quality.
Serial leaker Evan Blass (https://twitter.com/evleaks/status/687015019494662144/photo/1) recently said on Twitter that Samsung will release three variants of its new flagship: the standard Galaxy S7, an S7 Edge and an S7 Edge+. The Exynos 8890 is likely to ship with international models while Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 (http://www.techspot.com/news/63055-samsung-galaxy-s7-may-feature-overclocked-snapdragon-820.html) is expected to power devices sold in the US.
We've also heard over the past several months that the Galaxy S7 may have a pressure-sensitive display (http://www.techspot.com/news/63126-rumor-suggests-samsung-galaxy-s7-have-pressure-sensitive.html) that would function similar to Apple's 3D Touch panel found in current generation iPhones. Other rumors suggest the phone will feature a magnesium alloy body (http://www.techspot.com/news/62496-galaxy-s7-rumor-roundup-magnesium-body-glass-back.html) with a glass back and a high-end audio chip.

Galaxy S7 Benchmarking Leak Shows Up, Signifying That Device Will Be Announced Very Soon

Only yesterday, the specifications of Galaxy S7 showed up (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-specifications-leak/) through a leak that we covered, summarizing that the upcoming smartphone, or at least one model, is going to be sport a 5.1 inch AMOLED display and a 1440p display. Now, the latest benchmarking scores of the device have popped up on Geekbench, indicating the smartphone is going to be announced very soon.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/S73-635x360.jpg
Galaxy S7 Benches Show Up – Not That Impressive Particularly When The Device Is Expected To Sport An Exynos 8890 And/Or Snapdragon 820 According to a source, Galaxy S7 is going to be available to purchase in both the Snapdragon 820 and Exynos 8890 SoC (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-50-percent-units-running-snapdragon-820/). Both chipsets are manufactured on the 14nm FinFET LPP technology (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-leaked-completely-manufacturing-process/), making them much more efficient than Exynos 7420, which was manufactured on the 14nm LPE architecture. Coming to the benchmarking scores, Geekbench was able to keep a record of Galaxy S7’s scores, and they have been listed below.


Single-core: 1873
Multi-core: 5946

When we detailed our exclusive benchmarking results (http://wccftech.com/exclusive-iphone-6s-benchmarks-show-unparalleled-performance-dualcore-cpu/) of Apple’s iPhone, the iOS running powerhouse is able to zip past Galaxy S7 in the single-core test, while being unable to surpass it in the multi-core test. The point we are trying to make is that these results could just be for testing purposes only and that the actual smartphone could project a much higher score. After all, a device that is rocking a 14nm FinFET LPP SoC is definitely not something to be taken lightly. Another thing that we noticed is that this particular version of Galaxy S7 is running eight processing cores running at a speed of 1.59GHz.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Samsung-Exynos-21-635x360.png

When Samsung announced its Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-announced/), and afterwards proudly showcased its very detailed infograph of the SoC (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-detailed-infograph/), four cores will be running of Cortex-A53, while the remaining will be running Samsung’s own developed ones. This shows that we will have to wait for more results in order to confirm the authenticity of these scores, but seeing as how Galaxy S7 is expected to be announced during MWC 2016, it will not be long till we can witness the mobile computing capabilities of the handset.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/galaxy-s7-geekbench-635x514.png
Perhaps the biggest feature we want to see in the upcoming smartphone is that it features an expandable storage slot (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-rumored-to-bring-back-one-crucial-feature/), along with a bigger battery capacity. While the 14nm FinFET LPP chipsets will play a huge role in keeping both temperatures low and maintaining battery life, it is high time that Samsung also made a sizable investment towards increasing the battery life of its handsets. What feature are you most excited to see in the smartphone? Let us know your thoughts.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Leak Provides For Expedited Friday Launch In US

With January almost over, its less than a month left until we expect to see the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-pricing-speculation-surfaces/) being unveiled by the Korean electronics giant at the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress, Barcelona. The device has been in the rumor mill as long as recent memory serves and we’ve managed to unearth quite a bit of details about its alleged specifications, though any visuals or pictures of the device haven’t surfaced as of yet.
Today, some more information about the device has surfaced, this time about its launch date in the United States. Given the source of today’s information, we’re highly inclined to believe it, and if you’ve been following us regularly, you’ll agree with us as well after the break.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 To Hit The Shelves In The US On Friday March 11th Evan Blass, formerly known as @evleaks is back today and this time he claims to have some information about Samsung’s plans for the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-dual-sim-variants-certification/)‘s launch dates in the US. As you can see in the tweet above, Evan expects the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-benchmarking-leak-shows-up/) to hit the shelves on Friday March 11th, which would be a full month earlier than when Samsung released the Galaxy S6 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-galaxy-s6-edge-launched/) for the general public here in the US last year.
Given the increasing amount of competition in the mobile world, an expedited release from Samsung shouldn’t come as a surprise to many as the company should expect other devices with the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/htc-m10-s820-hx20/) to become available soon after. But processing and other performance aren’t the aspects on the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-appears-on-antutu/) that we’re worried about.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Galaxy-S7-concept-design-1024x575-635x357.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Galaxy-S7-concept-design-1024x575.jpg)Samsung launch of the Galaxy S6 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-s6-edge-display-amazing-amazing-amazing/) and the Galaxy S6 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-edge-vs-htc-one-m9-camera-test/) with the Exynos 7420 last year was also widely applauded with the company having chosen to significantly redefine the way it approaches and looks towards its flagship smartphones. But as well designed and upgraded the devices were, Samsung failed to anticipate demand, particularly for the Galaxy S6 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-edge-review-video/), which led to some embarrassment in the end.
In fact, to make up for this, and for decreasing Galaxy S6 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-edge-sales-surpass-samsung-expectations/) prices all around, Samsung was also quick to launch a larger Galaxy S6 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-edge-2/) as well, in order to better capture the additional market interest generated through the launch of a curved edged smartphone. With the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-leaked-factory-images/), we’re expecting Samsung to take a stable approach on design and rather improve on the device’s performance and other specifications as smartphone flagship upgrade cycles have started to move towards two years instead of one.
Manufacturers are after all forced to make quick innovations and changes every year due to fierce market demands and competition all around, which has ended up stifling innovation in its truest form. Whether Samsung will be able to live up to the bar it set for itself with last year’s lauches, we’ll find out soon enough. Till then, stay tuned and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

First Live Image Of Fully Assembled Galaxy S7 Shows How Things Have Changed

Given the highly active nature of the rumor mill, we’ve been kept highly informed about the expected specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-leaked-factory-images/). The device(s) are expected to come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/qualcomm-snapdragon-820-specifications-features/) and Samsung’s Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-benchmarks/), two chipsets that should set the pace for the mobile hardware industry as well. So needless to say, things are gearing up nicely for those interested in all things smartphone. Today we’ve managed to get our hands on some images of the device, which marks a nice change of things.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/galaxy-s7-leaked-2-720x530-635x467.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/galaxy-s7-leaked-2-720x530.jpg)
Alleged Samsung Galaxy S7 Image Shows Completely Assembled Device Given the overall lull in the rumor mill with regards to visual details, its a nice change of things to be able to speculate on the design details of the upcoming smartphone from Samsung. Design details are what’s been setting the pace in the smartphone world over recent times and companies have been forced to take a separate approach to overall device aesthetics.
Samsung showed a mature design approach with the launch of the Galaxy S6 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-galaxy-s6-edge-launched/) and the Galaxy S6 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-edge-vs-htc-one-m9-camera-test/) last year; drawing criticism from a segment of long time customers in the process. Today’s images however show little details for the upcoming Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-pricing-speculation-surfaces/)‘s design as the module in question is disguised quite heavily. It’s said to be a developer edition (thus all the coverings) but the overall composition of the front and the frame does suggest a different approach from its predecessor.

Apart from the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-benchmarking-leak-shows-up/) in its alleged full form, we’ve also been treated to some camera lens units claimed to be straight off the manufacturing line. While details of the plant in question remain unknown, the device number at the top of the plate does match what we already know about it. SM-G903F (http://wccftech.com/samsungs-galaxy-s7-feature-high-quality-features/) has been mentioned before as well so things can be assumed to be moving nicely over at Samsung.
As far as the official launch of the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-launch-date/) goes, we’ve got less than a month until the device should be expected. Samsung’s expected to follow past traditions and launch its flagship smartphones at the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Other manufacturers are expected to follow suit throughout the year as we once again settle in for this year’s flagship launch schedule. Thoughts? Let us know what you think in the comments section below and stay tuned for the latest.

Samsung Galaxy S7 release date leaked (http://www.kitguru.net/laptops/mobile/matthew-wilson/samsung-galaxy-s7-release-date-leaked/)


While we are currently expecting to see Samsung’s 2016 flagship, the Galaxy S7, make an appearance at the Mobile World Congress at the end of February we haven’t heard much word about a solid release date. However, that may have just changed this week as the release date for the Galaxy S7 appears to have leaked.
This leak comes from EVLeaks/Evan Blass (https://twitter.com/evleaks/status/690630250561150976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw), who has often proven to be a reliable source on these things. According to him, the Samsung Galaxy S7 is set to launch at retail on the 11th of March in the US. Right now, we don’t know how close the UK/European release date is set to follow.
http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/galaxy-s6-edge-exquisitely-crafted-desktop-e14284136193471111.jpg (http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/galaxy-s6-edge-exquisitely-crafted-desktop-e14284136193471111.jpg)
This will be a bit earlier than the release of the Galaxy S6, which saw its debut in March last year and launched at retail in April.
Right now, rumour has it that the Galaxy S7 will feature a 5.1-inch 1440p display, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot and an Exynos 8990 processor. It will also debut with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow so it will have all of the most up to date software features available.

Samsung Galaxy S7, and S7 Edge, specs leak with diagrams

The next Samsung flagship smartphones are expected to launch at the MWC 2016 next month (MWC 2016 (https://www.mobileworldcongress.com/) kicks off on Monday 22nd Feb, in Barcelona). If anything like previous years, Samsung will hold its own mini-event ahead of the opening of the 'congress' to overload our senses with just how fantastic its latest smartphones are. The problem is - it looks like we already know, thanks to a number of leaks including; information relayed to Korea's Naver news publication (via VR-Zone (http://vr-zone.com/articles/galaxy-s7-specs-allegedly-leaked-by-a-samsung-employee/105020.html)) and a fully annotated specs diagram of the S7 (Edge) via SlashGear (http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-release-date-imminent-specs-leak-in-diagram-25424167/).
http://hexus.net/media/uploaded/2016/1/c197373f-dc44-42c9-bb7b-3958c80f4b28.jpg
Getting to the nitty-gritty specs straight away, the recent body of leaks suggest that the Samsung Galaxy S7 (and S7 Edge) will offer the following key specifications:


Display: 5.2-inch Super-AMOLED with 1440 x 2650 pixel resolution (or 5.5-inch for the Edge)
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, or Samsung Exynos 8890 (octa-core) depending upon your region
RAM: 4GB LPDDR4
Internal Storage: 16, 32, 64GB UFS 2.0 flash memory models, +microSD card slot for storage expansion
Camera: 12MP back-facing camera with 4K video recording abilities, dual-LED flash, f1.7 aperture lens and larger pixels should improve low light photographic quality.
Front-facing camera: 8-megapixel
Battery: 3,500mAh (guesstimate)
Dimensions: 143.4 x 70.8 x 6.9mm
Operating System: Android 6.0 Marshmallow
Special Features: Fingerprint scanner, Force Touch pressure-sensitive panel (under display), Corning Gorilla Glass 5 front and back panels, water and dust resistance, curved glass edges on rear, similar to Galaxy Note 5, USB Type-C connector

As you can see above, the megapixel wars do truly seem to be over, with Samsung stepping down from the Galaxy S6 models' 16MP main camera to a new unit with 12MP and bigger pixels. I was recently in a smartphone shop in Taiwan and all the sales staff were highlighting aperture values as the leading and most important camera spec. Notably the Galaxy S7's purported f1.7 aperture is one of the lowest on a smartphone.
http://hexus.net/media/uploaded/2016/1/73d50cf2-db48-4bbf-aa6b-78445aa730f5.jpg
The rest of the specs progressively improve on previous models, with faster newer processors, more memory and fast fixed storage. Samsung looks to have brought back micro-SD card compatibility but hasn't been able to implement the user-swappable battery that people tend to request on forums. So it's probably an attractive upgrade to some Android fans but not breaking the mould or anything like that. Hopefully Samsung, and others, will have some other smartphones with innovative new features and form factors to keep us interested.
As mentioned in the intro, we first expect to officially see the Galaxy S7 models on 22nd Feb or thereabouts. Renowned smartphone leakster Evan Blass reckons (https://twitter.com/evleaks/status/690630250561150976) the physical product will hit shelves in the US less than three weeks later, starting Friday 11th March.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 To Favor Exynos 8890 More; Alleged Processor Ratio Surfaces



With less than a month left until its launch, Samsung’s Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-launch-date/) has started to become an increasing part of the news. We’ve seen countless pieces of information surface about the device, particularly over the past week or so, which have managed to once again provide us with a fair idea of what to expect. Its been common talk for quite a while that this year’s flagship smartphones from the Korean manufacturer will feature both Samsung’s home grown Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-benchmarks/) and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/qualcomms-adreno-530-outperform-apples-a9/). Both the processors have been launched by their respective manufacturers and today we’ve managed to learn more about their ratio on Samsung’s flagship.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/concept-de-samsung-galaxy-s7-635x397.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/concept-de-samsung-galaxy-s7.jpg)
Samsung To Employ A Processor Ratio Of 6:4 (Exynos:Snapdragon) For The Galaxy S7

After the Snapdragon 810 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-exynos-atom-a8-benchmarks/) demonstrated throttling last year, Samsung chose to launch the Galaxy S6 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-vs-iphone-6-vs-htc-one-m9-vs-nexus-6/)/S6 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-edge-vs-htc-one-m9-camera-test/) last year with its Exynos 7420 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-810-exynos-7420-a8-benchmarks/) on board. The chipset managed to consistently outperform other processors in the market in performance related measures, resulting in Samsung’s position being cemented in the market.
While the Galaxy S6 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-galaxy-s6-edge-launched/) and the S6 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-edge-tips/) might not have done so well in terms of sales, Samsung still managed to retain a significant portion of the market. This year, both the Korean electronics giant and Qualcomm have been working rather closely to develop the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/qualcomm-snapdragon-820-specifications-features/), and judging by the looks of things so far, Qualcomm’s different approach to things is working out in the company’s favor; though we’ll only know for sure once the Snapdragon comes to the market.

Now, sources straight out of China are claiming that Samsung will be employing a 6 by 4 ratio when allocating for the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/live-image-galaxy-s7-change-things-pace/)‘s processor. Out of 10 smartphones, 6 will be equipped with the Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-detailed-infograph/) while 4 will come featuring the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/htc-m10-s820-hx20/). If true, then we could once again see Samsung choosing to focus more on its home country of South Korea. But the manufacturer’s resources are sufficient enough to cater for global demand; despite forecast errors last year.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-benchmarking-leak-shows-up/) is expected to be launched by Samsung in less than a month, and the smartphone is expected to once again feature several upgrades when compared to its predecessor. Not only will we be getting to see new processors (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-specifications-leak/), but display (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-screen-resolution-size/), design (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-design/) and camera specifications (http://wccftech.com/samsungs-galaxy-s7-feature-high-quality-features/) are also expected to increase, compared with some new features thrown into the mix.

(http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-processor-ratio-claimed-favor-samsung/#ixzz3ySj3VhNh)Another Galaxy S7 Benchmark Appears – Snapdragon 820 SoC Confirmed To Be Present



A multitude of leaks surrounding the highly anticipated Galaxy S7 show that mostly everyone is locked and loaded over the release of the upcoming handset. This latest benchmark shows that the device is rocking the 14nm FinFET LPP SoC (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-leaked-completely-manufacturing-process/), and the scores speak very loud volumes over the performance that we can expect from the device.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/S74-635x360.jpg
Galaxy S7 Rocks The Table With A Dominating Single-Core Test Result

Snapdragon 820 has had some several benchmarking leaks, including one where there were several handsets benchmarked (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-new-benchmarks/), and there is also a slight chance that Qualcomm might be introducing a second revision (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-version-latest-benches-roll/) of the mobile chipset somewhere in the near future to take on future chipsets such as Apple’s upcoming 10nm FinFET A10 (http://wccftech.com/looks-like-apple-haschosen-a-clear-cut-winner-for-mass-producing-a10-orders/). For now, this particular version of Snapdragon 820 will definitely be taking on Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-announced/), and while Samsung might have agreed to incorporate Qualcomm’s own SoC inside the South Korean’s flagship smartphone, the firm is extremely confident of its own developed chipset, to the extent that it released a very detailed infograph (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-detailed-infograph/) on its specifications and capabilities.
As you can see in the benchmarking results, the scores obtained are definitely impressive in the single-core section, but we feel that in the multi-core test results, the quad-core is unable to bring that much to the table. Perhaps it is due to the number of cores present inside the SoC, since we have seen on previous occasions that chipsets sporting more cores tend to perform well in the multi-core area of the test. Since the smartphone is yet to be officially announced, we are going to let this slide, but since Snapdragon 820 has been manufactured on an advanced manufacturing process, we expect that performance and efficiency will be the two strongest suits of the upcoming handset.

While the hardware side of the smartphone is definitely something to look forward, let us dig into the software side of things; an area where Samsung has been severely criticized on, and it rightly should. The company’s TouchWiz interface, running on top of the Android OS has been hammered on numerous occasions for being too heavy on the system resources. We also reported that Google is intending on lending a helping hand (http://wccftech.com/google-reported-aiding-samsung-refining-touchwiz-interface/) to Samsung in order to further refine the interface, because it would be a huge blow to the tech giant if it loses out on the most popular Android smartphone manufacturer in the world right now.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/16-16012G02205.jpg
According to the benchmarking results, Galaxy S7 is going to be running Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 out of the box, so we should hope for better performance from the device. What do you think should be Samsung’s area of focus as far as its upcoming smartphone is concerned?

Things have finally started to pick the pace when it comes to leaks and rumors about smartphones. After a brief lull, the rumor mill is at it again and we’ve started to see a steady inflow of information and details about several Android flagships. Most of these have concerned Samsung’s Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/live-image-galaxy-s7-change-things-pace/) with the highly anticipated smartphone launch from the Korean manufacturer being the center of attention. We’ve managed to pick some more details about the camera specifications on Samsung’s flagship so head over below to find out more.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/070327_Samsung_8.4MP.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/070327_Samsung_8.4MP.jpg)Samsung Galaxy S7 Camera Specifications To Feature 12MP Resolution With Dual PD Sensor

When it comes to camera specifications on the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-design/), we’ve heard quite a lot so far. Some sources have claimed that the device will be coming with an upgraded camera of resolution (http://wccftech.com/samsungs-galaxy-s7-feature-high-quality-features/) 23MP with RWB pixels, while others have suggested that, contrary to its mode of operations, Samsung will be decreasing the camera resolution on the smartphone and instead choose to rely on a Dual PD Sensor to improve things this year.
Before we get into the details, the Samsung received an interesting patent dubbed as Duo Pixel (http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=86833892&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch) back in December at which time sources out of China were already speculating about the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-dual-sim-variants-certification/) to feature a 12MP rear camera sensor with Dual Photo-Diode on board. Today, we once again see Dual PD pop up, alongside some other specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-pricing-speculation-surfaces/).
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Samsung-RWB-Technolog-635x423.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Samsung-RWB-Technolog.jpg)Looks like iceuniverse is quite confident about Samsung choosing Dual PD sensors for the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-benchmarking-leak-shows-up/). After November last year, the Chinese blogger is once again claiming that some alleged Samsung employees claim that the Korean manufacturing giant will be equip the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-exynos-8890-benchmarks/) with a 12MP Dual-PD sensor. In addition, the camera sensor on the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-launch-date/) will not protrude this time around; which is something that should further improve Samsung’s flagship smartphone design.
In addition, aperture size for the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/live-image-galaxy-s7-change-things-pace/) will be f/1.7 and the camera will be optimized particularly w.r.t low light scenarios. A dual photo-diode sensor should help over here as it should help improve effective dynamic range and readout speeds. These should further boost the video recording capabilities on the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-processor-ratio-claimed-favor-samsung/) and will undoubtedly prove handy for a lot of users.

Camera details are not the only things which have been shared with us today however, as iceuniverse also believes that the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-feature-blazing-fast-data-speeds-typec-connectivity/) will be coming with dust and waterproof certifications on board and also SD card support. MicroSD support on the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-rumored-sport-alloy-chassis-samsung-copying-apples-newly-announced-smartphones/) is a big claim and should Samsung choose to reintroduce the feature, it will undoubtedly appease a particular segment of its fans as the absence of the feature on the Galaxy S6/S6 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-duo-no-microsd-slot/) caused some uproar.
That being said, its still a month until the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-with-snapdragon-820-benchmarks/) is officially unveiled by the Korean manufacturer and therefore nothing can really be said for sure. The company sure has some interesting technology in its corners so we’re eager to see how things turn out. Thoughts?

Galaxy S7 Edge Might Not Be Coming As Quickly As You Expected
We have spoken on this subject on numerous occasions; the fact that there are going to be two versions of Galaxy S7 will make the announcement even sweeter. However, Galaxy S7 Edge, the device with the curved edge display might release after the announcement of the regular version, which might not bode well as far as fans are concerned.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Samsung-logo2-635x354.jpg
Galaxy S7 Edge To Come In Several Models – Here Are All The Details You Need To Know Previously, we reported that there were going to be a total of four Galaxy S7 models (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-has-been-reported-to-come-in-two-screen-sizes-here-are-their-dimensions/), at least according to the form factors that they were going to be coming in. These models have been listed below:


Galaxy S7
Galaxy S7 Edge
Galaxy S7 Edge Plus
Galaxy S7 Plus

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/S75-635x360.jpg
Another report state that the regular version was going to sport a screen size of 5.1 inches (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-appears-on-antutu/), which is the same size present on Samsung’s previous generation flagship lineup. In addition, it is also possible that dual-SIM variants (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-dual-sim-variants-certification/) of the handset are going to be announced later down the road, and on top of that, the device is going to be coming out in two chipset variants (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-50-percent-units-running-snapdragon-820/); Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-with-snapdragon-820-benchmarks/) and Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-detailed-infograph/) (both of which are manufactured on the 14nm FinFET LPP (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-leaked-completely-manufacturing-process/) process). The only disappointing thing about this revelation is that the upcoming smartphone models are not going to be released at the same time, indicating that loyal fans of the Galaxy lineup will have to wait if they want to enjoy the more appealing model.

Additionally, the edge model might retain the same strip of pixels that will add additional functionality and seeing as how this is going to be the third smartphone from the South Korean tech giant, Samsung would definitely make an effort to make sure that your extra set of dollars was well invested. Speaking of investment, we have absolutely no clue what the price tag is going to be of these smartphone models but considering that they will be loaded with a ton of features and ‘top of the line hardware’, we cannot expect Samsung to price them according to an ideal price/performance ratio.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Infographic_SamsungExynosOcta_Main1.jpg
However, this pricing strategy might end up biting the company later down the road since we know that several Chinese OEMs are also gearing up to release their own mobile offerings; one that will cost less than the premium asking price of Galaxy S7 Edge. Regardless, we will be updating you with the latest and ‘up to date’ information regarding all the info you wanted to know about the smartphone. For now, tell us what feature you are dying to see from the upcoming handset in our polls below.

Samsung To Chase Apple With Galaxy S7 Smartphone Upgrade Program


Though they're bitter rivals in the mobile space, Samsung (http://hothardware.com/tags/samsung) and Apple (http://hothardware.com/tags/apple) often show each other the sincerest form of flattery, which is imitation. You can argue that one copies the other more often, but they both do it, often to the benefit of customers. The latest example of this has Samsung planning to roll out a Galaxy smartphone upgrade program similar to the one Apple offers for its iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s Plus (http://hothardware.com/reviews/apple-iphone-6s-plus-review-more-of-a-good-thing) devices.

Details are in short order, but it's said the program will kick off with the launch of Samsung's forthcoming Galaxy S7, which is expected to happen around March. Like Apple's program for iPhones, Samsung's program would allow customers to upgrade to a new model handset every year in exchange for a monthly fee.

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36367/content/Samsung.jpg


It's not clear if there will be any other perks. Apple offers AppleCare+ warranty service with its upgrade program, which requires a 24-month installment agreement. Samsung may opt to do something similar, either as a value-add or to bring in more revenue by requiring a warranty up-charge in order to participate in the program.

There have been several rumors associated with the Galaxy S7, some suggesting it will have a pressure sensitive display (http://hothardware.com/news/samsung-galaxy-s7-tipped-to-include-pressure-sensitive-display-fast-charging-support) and others saying it will bring back a storage expansion slot (http://hothardware.com/news/samsung-galaxy-s7-reportedly-brings-back-expansion-slot-and-water-resistance), a feature Samsung removed when switching to a premium design for its Galaxy S6 line.

Whatever the case might be, it's likely Samsung will make a splash of some sort. As of the end of last year, Samsung's mobile division has a new boss (http://hothardware.com/news/samsung-receives-new-mobile-chief-to-reverse-downward-trending-smartphone-sales-earnings) in D.J. Koh, who replaced J.K. Shin after a series of missteps.

Samsung Looking To Refine Motion Photography For The Galaxy S7; Software Improvement In Play?

Even though its almost a month until we get to see Samsung unveil its Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-edge-releasing-late/)flagship smartphone, the speed of information that the rumor mill is chugging has increased significantly. Not a single day passes by that we don’t get to see a mention of the device from one quarter or the other. Today, we get to once again hear a previous claim that the device will be featuring a pressure sensitive screen, alongside another potentially controversial feature.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/gs7render-1211-635x327.png (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/gs7render-1211.png)
Samsung Now Claimed To Be Testing Motion Photo Software For The Galaxy S7 When it comes to smartphones, there’s very little manufacturers can manage to do these days in order to achieve true differentiation. Apple’s launch of the iPhone 6s (http://wccftech.com/iphone-6s-duo-to-see-production-cuts-amid-lackluster-sales/) and the iPhone 6s Plus (http://wccftech.com/apple-iphone-6s-specifications-features-price/) saw the company introduce pressure sensitive touch systems on the iPhone. Soon after, the Korean media began to speculate that the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-patent-3dtouch/) could also feature similar technology, with Samsung in possession of similar patents.
Now, there’s some information which suggests that engineers over at Samsung have also been testing a feature that should allow users to capture images directly as GIFs. While it can be contrasted as being similar to Apple’s Live Photos, ‘Vivid Photos’ will retain a rather simplistic approach to the entire motion photography equation.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/maxresdefault2-635x357.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/maxresdefault2.jpg)
Advertisements


The same sources report that the feature is said to be purely software in nature, and might not debut alongside the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-launch-date/) next month. Samsung could choose to push it out later as a software update, but if the company really is looking to focus on software this year, then we should also be expecting improved TouchWiz (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-android-6-marshmallow-screenshots/) for this year’s Galaxy S flagship series.
Furthermore, given the diverse nature of leaks and rumors surrounding the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-camera-specifications/), we now have a lot of features to speculate on for the device. Out of these, several things can be considered to be concrete as of now. Processors for the smartphone will be the Korean manufacturer’s very own Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-samsungs-chip-solution/) and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-with-snapdragon-820-benchmarks/), with the Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-processor-ratio-claimed-favor-samsung/) set to receive a greater share of the pie according to latest information.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/1452586050_id481329_1-635x279.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/1452586050_id481329_1.jpg)Aside from the processor and pressure based touch features, the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-with-snapdragon-820-benchmarks/) is also said to feature either an upgraded camera of resolution 21MP or Dual Photo-Diode sensor aimed primarily towards improving low light image and video quality. Given the nature of the leaks surrounding its predecessor, the device has seen some rather interesting claims surface.
Yet, there’s still one month left until the device (or devices) are launched by the Korean tech giant at the sidelines of the Mobile Word Congress in Barcelona. Till then, we’re expecting more information to surface. The nature of these leaks generally refines as launch dates near so stay tuned and let us know what you think in the comments section below. We’ll keep you updated as this develops.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Specifications Corroborated By Slide Leak

With less than a month left until its launch, Samsung’s Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsungs-galaxy-s7-feature-high-quality-features/) has been an increasing feature of rumors and leaks lately, especially over the past couple of days. We’ve seen information surface which ranges from performance benchmarks to processor ratios and have quite a good idea of what to expect from the device next month in Spain. Today, some information about the device’s specifications has surfaced which confirms what we already know about it so far.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/concept-de-samsung-galaxy-s7-635x397.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/concept-de-samsung-galaxy-s7.jpg) Samsung’s Galaxy S7 Sees Slides Surface With Specifications In The Mix When it comes to the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-screen-resolution-size/), owing to the countless rumors and leaks which have taken place over the past couple of months we have a fair idea of what to expect from the flagship smartphone from Samsung this year. The Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-design/) is expected to come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/samsungs-lucky-lte-beats-snapdragon-820-hands-latest-leak/) and Samsung’s Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-exynos-8890-benchmarks/), both of which are expected to offer top tier performance and specifications.
In the camera side of things we’ve heard conflicting news, with several sources suggesting that the device will be coming with an upgraded camera resolution of 23MP. Others have gone to suggest that while the camera resolution on the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-pricing-speculation-surfaces/) will decrease this year (contrary to long time Samsung traditions), the company will instead be equipping the device with a 12MP, Dual PD camera sensor, which should greatly improve performance and image capturing.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/possible-samsung-galaxy-s7-leak-2.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/possible-samsung-galaxy-s7-leak-2.jpg)Considering the specifications mentioned above, and today’s slide leak, we see that Samsung’s Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-processor-ratio-claimed-favor-samsung/) just might come offering everything that we’ve told you so far. The device is listed with the Snapdragon 820 and the Exynos 8890 on board with the rear camera being a Samsung BRITCELL sensor with resolution 12MP. Screen size for the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/live-image-galaxy-s7-change-things-pace/) should be 5.1 inches with resolution being 1440p. 4GB of RAM will be supplementing the Exynos so all in all, the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-launch-date/) should see itself right at the top of 2016’s high performance mobile smartphones.
Advertisements


When it comes to the design of the device however, information so far suggests a mixed picture so far. Samsung’s expected to pay more attention to the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-with-snapdragon-820-benchmarks/)‘s performance this time around, with several features such as pressure sensitive touch display and motion photography also being rumored so far. The Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-edge-releasing-late/) should be expected to be made completely out of metal but with some rumors suggesting a MicroSD slot as well, we’re eager to see how it turns out.
Thoughts? Let us know what you think in the comments section below and stay tuned for the latest.

Official Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge images leaked

http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/6d5c245a01296d6c997eefcfeaa63607_L.jpg (http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/6d5c245a01296d6c997eefcfeaa63607_XL.jpg)

Subtle color changes over S6 series

Earlier this month, mobile editor at VentureBeat Evan Blass shared some key information regarding Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge smartphone lineup, including screen size, screen resolution, and processor components. Now, the editor has revealed the first official images of both devices to the public.


http://www.fudzilla.com/images/stories/2016/January/samsung-galaxy-s7-official-image.jpg

Source: Twitter.com (January 29, 2016)
The images were posted to Twitter (https://twitter.com/evleaks/status/693174249545187333) earlier on Friday, following VentureBeat's earlier release (http://venturebeat.com/2016/01/04/samsung-galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge-will-feature-microsd-water-resistance-and-larger-batteries/) of Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge side views, along with key specifications, on January 4th.
Samsung's previous Galaxy S6 generation was first introduced nine months ago in April 2015 and featured 5.1-inch Super AMOLED displays with 2560x1440p resolution, 577 pixels per inch, and Gorilla Glass 4. The Galaxy S6 Edge+ was subsequently released a couple months later in August. This year, the company's new Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge will not feature the same diagonal screen size. The standard S7 model will retain the same 5.1-inch display size, while the S7 Edge will now have a larger, 5.5-inch curved display.

http://www.fudzilla.com/images/stories/2016/January/samsung-galaxy-s7-side.jpg

Source: VentureBeat.com (January 4, 2016)
One key difference over the previous models, however, is the inclusion of always-on display (AOD) functionality. This will allow users to glance at the screen in a dimly-lit mode while only consuming one percent of battery per hour. Currently, Samsung's Gear Live smartwatch features an always-on display, allowing wearers to tap the screen to bring it back to an active state.
Of course, both devices will be powered by Samsung's own Exynos 8 Octa 8890. This is an octa-core SoC as its name suggests with ARM's big.LITTLE architecture. It features four high-performance 2.30GHz cores along with four smaller, more power-friendly 1.60GHz cores, and an integrated LTE Category 9 (http://www.3gpp.org/keywords-acronyms/1612-ue-category) modem (downlink speeds up to 450Mbps).
Based on the images, the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge do not look much different from the S6 and S6 Edge. Some suggest that the colors have been tweaked a bit, perhaps in an effort to differentiate them from last year's models.
So far, rumors claim (https://twitter.com/ShaiMizrachi/status/693040038288953344) that Samsung's Galaxy S7 lineup will be announced on February 21st and will be released in European markets on March 11th. The announcement date makes sense, as Mobile World Congress 2016 kicks off in Barcelona, Spain the next day. On the other hand, Chinese carrier China Mobile shared some documents in late December which also indicate (http://www.idigitaltimes.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-release-date-details-new-report-doubles-down-march-launch-499083) a March timeframe for the actual launch.
Our staff will be attending Mobile World Congress 2016 later next month and we should have more information on Samsung's new lineup a couple days before the show starts.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Might Not Change Much In Design This Year Show Renders



The amount of leaks and rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-ppt-leak/) have greatly increased in number over the past couple of days. We’ve been hearing a large variety of rumors about the upcoming handset(s) and today you can add some more speculation to the mix. When it comes to design, we’ve seen or heard little about the device so far, apart from the fact that the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-edge-releasing-late/) might be coming with Micro SD support this year. Otherwise, the devices have been claimed to change little in design terms and today some renders have surfaced which provide some insight.

Samsung Galaxy S7 And Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Renders Provide Insight Into Device Design

When it comes to the upcoming smartphone launches from Samsung, we’ve seen leaks and rumors which cover performance related specifications and features. There’s quite a lot information available about the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-camera-specifications/) so far, with the device nearly confirmed to be coming with both the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-with-snapdragon-820-benchmarks/) and the Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-processor-ratio-claimed-favor-samsung/) on board. Camera specifications for the device include a 12MP rear camera with a Dual-PD sensor. Resolution wise, we expect things to stay the same, with Samsung also looking to introduce software features that allow users to capture GIFs directly with their device.
On the design side of things, while we shouldn’t be expecting Samsung to make any major changes, a minor refinement of the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/live-image-galaxy-s7-change-things-pace/) and Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-launch-date/)‘s design should be expected. Today’s renders, courtesy of Evan Blass, end up showing exactly that. As you can see in the image above, both the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-pricing-speculation-surfaces/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/charming-galaxy-s7-edge-concept-to-warm-your-hearts/) seem to follow much more smoother curves and a thinner form factor when compared to their predecessors.

Taking a look at the renders, we see that Samsung’s overall interface for the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-design/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-screen-resolution-size/) is expected to stay similar to previous devices. The bottom of the devices also appears to be similar in nature, with the placement of the headphone, connector and speaker grille being the same. Overall placement of buttons also appears to be the same, so we’re eager to see what performance upgrades Samsung has planned under the hood this time.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsungs-galaxy-s7-feature-high-quality-features/) is expected to come with 4GB of RAM on board, coupled with the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/qualcomm-snapdragon-820-specifications-features/) or the Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-samsungs-chip-solution/), 3000mAh rear battery capacity and other changes on board which should secure it one of the top places in today’s flagship smartphones. The devices are expected to be launched at the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress, due to be held in Barcelona next month. Stay tuned, we’ll keep you updated and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Galaxy S7 Reportedly Going To Launch In Exactly Three Weeks



As we move into the month of February, it looks Samsung looks to be in full swing in announcing its flagship smartphone, Galaxy S7.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/S76-635x360.jpg
Galaxy S7 Rumored To Be Announced On February 21 – Less Than Three Weeks Remaining Ladies And Gentlemen

Yes, you have read that correctly, in less than three weeks, it has been rumored that we will bear witness to the flagship smartphone Galaxy S7, which is expected to be sporting both Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-with-snapdragon-820-benchmarks/) and Samsung’s own developed Exynos 8890 SoC (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-detailed-infograph/). According to our previously published reports (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-has-been-reported-to-come-in-two-screen-sizes-here-are-their-dimensions/), the upcoming smartphone is going to available in two screen size variants, and they have been listed below:


Galaxy S7
Galaxy S7 Edge
Galaxy S7 Edge Plus
Galaxy S7 Plus

We have already stated the specifications present inside the 5.1 inch screen variant (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-appears-on-antutu/), as well as the handset’s dual-SIM models (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-dual-sim-variants-certification/), which will most likely be arriving after the single-SIM versions have been brought into the spotlight. While Samsung has received significant amount of praise for its mobile hardware, it has been bombarded with the exact same opposite responses when it comes to its software. It was even reported that Google is intending on lending a helping hand (http://wccftech.com/google-reported-aiding-samsung-refining-touchwiz-interface/) to Samsung in order to further refine the interface, because it would be a huge blow to the tech giant if it loses out on the most popular Android smartphone manufacturer in the world right now.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Samsung2-635x394.png

As for the battery capacity, it is expected that Samsung is going to house a 3,000mAh battery (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-0-50-25/), along with fast charging capability to allow users more battery life when they cannot invest a hefty amount of time in plugging their device. Additionally, it has also been stated that the upcoming handset will be packing a 12.3MP rear camera sensor (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-camera-specifications/) with a wide aperture of F/1.7. This goes beyond the capabilities of Galaxy Note 5, which feature an aperture of F/1.9, showcasing that Galaxy S7 will perform very well in low-light conditions.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/222222222.png
Despite the fact that the number of megapixels have been decreased, it will actually be advantageous in low-light environments because more light per pixel will effortlessly be able to enter the sensor, resulting in an accurate and pleasing image, even in locations where there are limited sources of light. Galaxy S7 is definitely looking to be a killer smartphone, and if Samsung is able to refine its mobile platform and add a MicroSD card slot, the company will definitely be able to get back into the smartphone game with severe ferocity.

(http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-rumored-launch-date/#ixzz3yvLvAM72)Samsung's Galaxy S7 rumored to go from 0-100% charge in 100 minutes

We aren't far from the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S7 smartphones, with the latest rumor surrounding the 'new generation' battery Samsung is preparing for its new handset.


http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/5/0/50069_27_samsungs-galaxy-s7-rumored-go-100-charge-minutes.jpg (http://www.tweaktown.com/image.php?image=imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/5/0/50069_27_samsungs-galaxy-s7-rumored-go-100-charge-minutes_full.jpg)

According to blogger Eldar Murtazin, the Galaxy S7 requires 100 minutes of charge to go from 0-100%, thanks to its 'new generation' battery. We don't know what the 'new generation' battery is just yet, so we could be looking at Samsung increasing the capacity of the battery without requiring too much room inside of the body - or, Samsung is using new technology that will charge the Galaxy S7 much faster.

The Galaxy S6 edge+ and Galaxy Note 5 already charge quick, taking around 110 minutes to get to full charge, so the 100 minutes on the Galaxy S7 would be pretty impressive to see. We should also expect the Galaxy S7 to rock wireless charging, so I'd like to see just how fast the new smartphones from Samsung charge over wireless charging. Give me 100 minutes of 0-100% on wireless charging, and I'll be very, very impressed.

Galaxy S7 And S7 Edge Rear Side Leaked – Are We Seeing Another S6 In Design Form?

Now that we know that the announcement date of Galaxy S7 is going to be February 21 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-official-launch-date/), let us take a look at the handset’s design, which has been leaked courtesy of a known leakster on Twitter.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/11111-635x419.png
Galaxy S7 And S7 Edge’s Front Side Smile For The Camera – Are We Seeing Samsung Retain Its Galaxy S6 Design For Its Two Handsets? Thanks to Evan Blass, it appears that there are going to be two smartphones announced on February 21; Galaxy S7 is expected to sport a 5.1 inch screen size while Galaxy S7 Edge is expected to sport a 5.5 inch screen. While both devices might sport the same design (at least from the rear side), they vary in size quite a bit, as you can see in the image below. Now here’s an interesting thing about both smartphones; it appears that Samsung’s design team might have ran out of ideas and decided to keep the aesthetics of its upcoming flagship handset similar to that of Galaxy S6, which is quite disappointing, since we were hoping to see some form of effort implemented by the team.
Regardless, we certainly hope that the company has invested a great deal of effort in maintaining a slew of convenient features such as a MicroSD card slot otherwise we fear that the company might lose its position as the top Android smartphone OEM very soon. While Samsung has received significant amount of praise for its mobile hardware, it has been bombarded with the exact same opposite responses when it comes to its software. It was even reported that Google is intending on lending a helping hand (http://wccftech.com/google-reported-aiding-samsung-refining-touchwiz-interface/) to Samsung in order to further refine the interface, because it would be a huge blow to the tech giant if it loses out on the most popular Android smartphone manufacturer in the world right now.

Samsung’s Galaxy S7 Renders Show Intricate Camera + Thickness Upgrades



With less than a month left until its launch, things have started to pick pace for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-pricing-speculation-surfaces/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/charming-galaxy-s7-edge-concept-to-warm-your-hearts/). We’ve seen countless leaks about the upcoming flagship smartphone launches from Samsung so far. These include details ranging from the devices’ processor to its multimedia and design specifications. Today, some more renders which show some design details have surfaced as well, so lets take a look at how different the devices will be this time around.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/CaKLMfbW0AE0D22-635x390.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/CaKLMfbW0AE0D22.jpg)
Samsung Galaxy S7 Renders Show Design Changes For Upcoming Devices

While details about the performance specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-launch-date/) have been abundant, we’ve seen relatively little information surface about the device’s design details. The Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-processor-ratio-claimed-favor-samsung/) is expected to bring back the Micro SD card and come with an overall reduced thickness, but apart from this, no major changes should be expected on the device.
Today’s images further end up confirming these facts but show that Samsung’s taken a close look at the smartphone nevertheless. The one at the start shows an overall softer approach with the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-with-snapdragon-820-benchmarks/) with the device shown to feature a curved top edge. Not only this, but we should also expect the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-camera-specifications/) to be thinner than the Galaxy Note 5 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-launches-galaxy-note-5/) that stands at 7.6mm. The Galaxy S6 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-vs-iphone-6-vs-htc-one-m9-camera-comparison/) on the other hand is 6.8mm, so Samsung’s got its work cut out for it.

The second image shows the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-ppt-leak/)‘s rear camera sensor, and all those folks against bulging rear camera should expect refinements from Samsung’s part this year around. The Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-renders/)‘s sensor should be expect to be more ‘flat’ in nature, with its height being 0.8mm, significantly less when compared to the Samsung Galaxy S6 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-galaxy-s6-edge-launched/). What we’re interested now is in the material details of the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-0-50-25/). That should be one area where Samsung can change things significantly, without altering the smartphone’s overall look.
The Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge-rear-side-leaked-are-we-seeing-another-s6-in-design-form/) will be with us on February 21st (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-official-launch-date/), so it isn’t long before things are clear officially. Information so far suggests that the company’s focus will be on major performance enhancements for the device, with two new processors in tow for it. Camera specifications are also expected to receive a significant overhauls, alongside other multimedia upgrades such as new hardware. All eyes now on the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Stay tuned and let us know what you think in the comments section below. We’ll keep you updated as more information surfaces.

Today’s state of the rumor/leak mill has managed to take the fun of anticipation almost out completely from upcoming flagship smartphone launches. What at one point in time used to be a source of anticipation among industry followers all around, has now been reduced to an expectation of specifications and features. That being said, some more information about Samsung’s Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge-rear-side-leaked-are-we-seeing-another-s6-in-design-form/) has surfaced today in the form of a performance benchmarks running the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-with-snapdragon-820-benchmarks/) variant of the smartphone. Lets take a look to see how well the device (allegedly) fares.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/9eb1b839jw1f0kzzmocmrj20ip0cnwgm.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/9eb1b839jw1f0kzzmocmrj20ip0cnwgm.jpg) The Samsung Galaxy S7 Scores 125288 Points On Antutu; Topping Predecessor Significantly Today, we’ve managed to get our hands on some alleged benchmark scores of the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-render-leaks-show-camera-thickness-details/), straight out of China. The device’s predecessor, the Galaxy S6 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-galaxy-s6-edge-launched/) was one of the top performing smartphone of the Android, and the smartphone world in general so Samsung has quite the bar to beat with this year’s device.
But it looks like the Korean manufacturer is on the right track, as the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-0-50-25/) has allegedly been able to score 125288 points on Antutu. The processor running under the hood is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/lg-g5-specifications/), which itself has quite a bit of expectations placed on it, given the Snapdragon 810 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-exynos-atom-a8-benchmarks/)‘s famous throttling issues.
Even more impressive is the graphics and 3D performance of the device, which you can see for yourself in the scores given above. Qualcomm seems to be on the right track not only for the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/qualcomm-snapdragon-820-specifications-features/), but also the Adreno 530 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-official-folks/), which shouldn’t be a surprise given the US company’s general prowess with mobile GPU (http://wccftech.com/qualcomms-adreno-530-outperform-apples-a9/)s.

The device has been listed with the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/htc-m10-s820-hx20/) on board, combined with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage on board.
Screen size, as expected stands at 5.1 inches with 2560 x 1440 resolution and camera specifications stand at a toned down 12MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera. Maybe we’ll finally get to see Samsung take a different approach with the Galaxy S lineup’s camera this time around.
But what’s of critical importance is the device’s overall software interface and should Samsung manage to improve its TouchWiz (http://wccftech.com/google-reported-aiding-samsung-refining-touchwiz-interface/) interface for the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsungs-exynos-8890-specifications-claim-top-notch-frequency/), combined with improved power requirements then we could see an impressive launch this year indeed. Thoughts? Let us know what you think in the comments section below and stay tuned for the latest.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Benchmarks Show Improved Snapdragon 820 Performance

Since its only a couple of weeks left until we get to take a look at the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-design/), things must be finalized for the device over at the company’s headquarters. We’ve been seeing quite a lot of information surface about the device over the past couple of months, and today some benchmarks of T-Mobile’s Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-launch-date/) have surfaced, which don’t paint a disappointing picture either.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/galaxy-s7-t-mobile-geek-635x447.png (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/galaxy-s7-t-mobile-geek.png) Benchmark Leak Of The Samsung Galaxy S7 Paints Impressive Picture For Device We’ve seen several alleged benchmark leaks of the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-0-50-25/) surface already, and they’ve managed to paint a mixture picture when it comes to the upcoming device. The Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-camera-specifications/) is expected to come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 and Samsung’s Exynos 8890 on board, with both the chipsets expected to set the bar for smartphone performance in 2016.
Given the benchmark leaks however, we were left a bit skeptical about the upcoming device’s performance. The scores shown failed to catch up to those achieved by both Samsung and Qualcomm’s reference devices, so if anything, the leaks were an indicator that there were still things that needed working out on the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-official-launch-date/). However, today’s scores paint a better picture, with the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-renders/) scoring 2357 and 5352 in single and multi-core tests respectively.

Today’s listing of the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge-rear-side-leaked-are-we-seeing-another-s6-in-design-form/) comes with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 topped out at 1.59GHz and 4 GB of RAM on board. So in all likelihood, Samsung seems to be moving forward with the device’s performance optimization.

Apart from the Snapdragon 820 and the Exynos 8890, the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-render-leaks-show-camera-thickness-details/) is also expected to come with a 12MP, Dual Photo-diode camera sensor on board, some new multimedia features and hardware, a micro-SD slot, a 3000mAh battery and design upgrades that should help it do quite well in today’s smartphone world. It’s also expected to be coming with some intricate design changes on board, with Samsung’s major focus expected to be on performance this year around.
We’re eager to see how the Korean tech giant changes things in a world where consumer demands increase as the day passes. Things should be clear in less than 2 weeks however, so stay tuned and let us know what you think in the comments section below. We’ll keep you updated as this develops.

Leaked Samsung Galaxy S7 Screenshots Provide Power Usage Details



When it comes to the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-specifications-point-20mp-rear-shooter/), there’s little that we haven’t seen surface about the upcoming device so far. From performance benchmarks, to specifications leaks, to renders and image leaks, nearly every detail about the flagship can be speculated on with some accuracy. Given the amount of leaks and rumors so far, the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-camera-specifications/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-benchmarking-leak-shows-up/) are undoubtedly the most anticipated smartphones of 2016 right now and today, some screenshots of the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-ppt-leak/) have also surfaced.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/CaSQKs_UkAAS1tf.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/CaSQKs_UkAAS1tf.jpg)Alleged Samsung Galaxy S7 Screenshots Show Power Consumption Details

Taking a look at the image above and the information provided by its source, we get to learn quite a bit about the power consumption details of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-render-leaks-show-camera-thickness-details/). The Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-official-launch-date/) in the image above is running with dual SIM cards, 75% brightness and always on LTE.
This leads to a battery life of 2 days which sounds quite impressive if you ask us. The results have been achieved by keeping in mind the average usage of the device. We also get to take a look at the amount of impact smartphone screens have on device battery usage, as the screen alone accounts for 24% of overall battery consumption.
Previously, we’ve seen claims that the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-specifications-benchmarks/) will be able to run 17 hours of video playback, something which sounds quite impressive indeed, given the performance intensive hardware specifications expected from the device. Additionally, if only the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge-rear-side-leaked-are-we-seeing-another-s6-in-design-form/)‘s screen is left running, at 75% brightness, then this battery life increases even more, as evidenced by the screenshot below.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/CaSQLWqUYAENsbG.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/CaSQLWqUYAENsbG.jpg)



Given the above information and charging times we’d be quite interested to see what changes the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-benchmark-mobile/) brings along w.r.t power consumption. Battery life and performance on the upcoming flagship has been receiving some rather special attention, so Samsung might have a couple of new tricks up its sleeve this time around.
After all, regardless of how advanced smartphones become, battery specifications have always been a thorn in the side of many manufacturers and users alike. Furthermore, given the increasing advances in mobile hardware, we haven’t gotten to see subsequent evolution in batteries and power packs, leaving many devices quite short of appropriate power supply.
Whether Samsung will manage to change things in this regard or not will be clear in just a couple of weeks. So stay tuned and let us know what you think in the comments section below. We’ll keep you updated as this develops.

When it comes to the processors of 2016, all anyone can talk about are the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-benchmarks/) and the Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-mass-production-exynos-8890-galaxy-s7-december/). Both the chipsets have been detailed officially by Qualcomm and Samsung and should be expected to set this year’s pace in mobile performance after they’ve become publicly available. Both of them are also expected to make it on board the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-render-leaks-show-camera-thickness-details/) and looks like the Korean manufacturer has some plans to balance out their performance on its mobile flagship this year.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Galaxy-s7-635x239.png (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Galaxy-s7.png)Samsung To Tweak The Exynos 8890 In Order To Ensure Galaxy S7 Provides Uniform Experience With smartphones growing increasingly complex over the course of time, the same lineup of devices using different processors for different variants has started to become an increasing norm. For Samsung, this has been the case for quite a while, save 2015 which saw the Korean manufacturer skip over the Snapdragon 810 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-exynos-atom-a8-benchmarks/) in the Samsung Galaxy S6 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-galaxy-s6-edge-launched/) and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.
This year however, we’re expecting the Galaxy S flagship smartphone lineup to once again feature processors from both Qualcomm and Samsung, so things are getting back to normal as far as Samsung is concerned. That being said, while the Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-processor-ratio-claimed-favor-samsung/) and the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-specifications-benchmarks/) should both perform better than the rest of mobile processors out there, discrepancies will still exist given their different designs.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/S7-Edge-and-Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Concept-635x357.png (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/S7-Edge-and-Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Concept.png)
Advertisements

Word out of the rumor mill is now suggesting that Samsung’s got plans to tweak the Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/benchmark-results-show-a9-dominates-exynos-8890-snapdragon-820/) so that the variants that ship with its own chipset and the ones that ship with Qualcomm’s SoC do not show any major discrepancies on board. According to sources in China, Samsung is looking to adjust the Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-benchmarks/) so that it is on par with the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/qualcomm-snapdragon-820-specifications-features/) in single core results.
In multi core however, the Exynos should be expected to dominate given its architecture and this is expected by the company to neutralize the Adreno 530’s GPU performance, which should significantly exceed that of the Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-50-percent-units-running-snapdragon-820/). Of course, until we get to test the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-screenshots/)/S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-feature-pressure-sensitive-screen-live-photos-feature/)for ourselves, nothing can be said of sure but today’s source has been known to provide reliable information in the past as well.
Thoughts? Let us know what you think in the comments section below and stay tuned for the latest. We’ll keep you updated as this develops. The Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge-rear-side-leaked-are-we-seeing-another-s6-in-design-form/) and the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-official-launch-date/) will be with us on February 21st at the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Specifications Include Wireless Charging; Retailer Lists Accessory

The launch of the Samsung Galaxy S6 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-galaxy-s6-edge-launched/) and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge last year came with its fair share of upgrades and features on board. Not only did both the devices come with a vastly upgraded design and form factor, but Samsung also introduced a couple of more features as well. One of these was wireless charging, a feature that has not been able to achieve mass market adoption even as of now. Well, if you’re a fan of the wireless charging on last year’s Galaxy S launches from the Korean manufacturer, you won’t be disappointed this year either.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/galaxy-s7-wireless-charging-635x661.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/galaxy-s7-wireless-charging.jpg) Samsung’s Wireless Charger For The Galaxy S7 And Galaxy S7 Edge Listed By Retailer Every day we get to see a new leak about the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-renders/), with each piece of news providing us with new information about the upcoming devices. So far, the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-specifications-benchmarks/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-balance-snapdragon-exynos-performance-galaxy-s7/) are expected to come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/qualcomm-snapdragon-820-specifications-features/) and Samsung’s Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-processor-ratio-claimed-favor-samsung/) on board. These will be complemented by 4GB of RAM and new features that focus towards user ease.
Battery specifications of the upcoming devices have been seeing an increased amount of attention over the past couple of days, with some mixed information surfacing. We’re expecting the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-0-50-25/) to come with a battery capacity of 3000 mAh, that is expected to provide video playback of up to 17 hours. Now, a wireless charger for the smartphones has also been listed by the UK retailer as you can take a look in the image above.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/s7-edge-concept-113-635x328.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/s7-edge-concept-113.jpg)
Advertisements

It’s also been optimized for the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-renders/) range so we should most likely expect wireless charging to make it on board this year’s flagship smartphone from Samsung as well. What this means for the smartphone(s)’s build materials still isn’t known, but we’ve been hearing whispers of little changes on the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-ppt-leak/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-camera-specifications/) this year in terns of design and build materials with the exception of the return of MicroSD support.
All in all, Samsung’s Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge-rear-side-leaked-are-we-seeing-another-s6-in-design-form/) and Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-renders/) are turning out to be exactly what we’d expect from 2016’s first Android flagship launches. With little than three weeks left until their launch, things should become clear soon. Till then, stay tuned and let us know what you think in the comments section below. We’ll keep you updated as this develops.

Live Images Leak Of Samsung’s Galaxy S7 And S7 Edge; Front Facing Speakers On Board?

When it comes to Samsung’s upcoming launches of the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-render-leaks-show-camera-thickness-details/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-renders/), we have seen almost every detail surface in one form or the other. The processors for the flagships are expected to be Samsung’s Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-detailed-infograph/) and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/htc-m10-s820-hx20/), with rear camera resolution expected to stand at 12MP. Design details have surfaced in the form of renders and schematics and today, we’re finally treated to live images of the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-wireless-charging/)/S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-specifications-benchmarks/). Take a look below to find out more.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/gsmarena_0022-635x846.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/gsmarena_0022.jpg) The Samsung Galaxy S7 And Galaxy S7 Edge Leak In First Set Of Live Photos With less than two weeks left until the launch of the flagship devices from Samsung and the steady and consistent patters of leaks taking place, it was only a matter of time until some live images of both the devices surfaced. Starting from the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsungs-galaxy-s7-feature-high-quality-features/), we see that the device’s design resembles last year’s Galaxy S6 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-galaxy-s6-edge-launched/), apart from the camera sensor at the back.
The camera lens appears to be very different than the one found on the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-camera-specifications/)‘s predecessor, so all those rumors about a Dual-PD sensor on the device might just bear fruit. In addition, we’re also seeing a nice summing up of everything that’s surfaced so far by the source. There’s mention of both the Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-balance-snapdragon-exynos-performance-galaxy-s7/) and the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-benchmarks/), internal multimedia changes, Britcell and a metal frame.
It would however be relevant to note at this point that the device in the image above lacks the refined polish of a final product, so we might be seeing a prototype.

Advertisements

In today’s second bit of news, Samsung’s Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-ppt-leak/) has also surfaced in an image today, which gives us a lot more to work with. While the overall composure of the device stays the same, Samsung’s made small changes if the image above turns out to be authentic as well. Starting from the top of the device we see that we see the placement of the various assortment of sensors changed.
The bottom of the device on the other hands appear to have what we’d guess as front facing speakers. Samsung’s been rumored to be working towards the multimedia capabilities of its flagship smartphones so this change sounds very plausible indeed. Apart from these, just like the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-0-50-25/), the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge-rear-side-leaked-are-we-seeing-another-s6-in-design-form/) also does not change much from its predecessor in overall design form; something which wasn’t needed either if you ask us.
There’s also an Antutu score of 134704, which is in the ballpark of what’s been reported for both the Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-balance-snapdragon-exynos-performance-galaxy-s7/) and the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-benchmark-mobile/). That being said, both the devices from Samsung will be with us in less than two weeks, so things should settle soon once and for all. We’ll keep you updated in the meanwhile.

Waterproofing Components Surface For The Galaxy S7 And Galaxy S7 Edge Today

Given that the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-battery-pack-capacity-leaked-will-be-bigger-than-galaxy-s6/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/download-galaxy-s7-wallpapers-leaked/) are due in two weeks time, we now have a fair idea of what to expect this month from the Korean manufacturer. After yesterday’s image leaks we now get to see some information surface about the device’s alleged water-proofing with several interesting components having surfaced on the India import/export database, Zauba (https://www.zauba.com/import-sm-g930f-hs-code.html).
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/s7-zauba-720x217-635x191.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/s7-zauba-720x217.jpg)
The Samsung Galaxy S7 And Galaxy S7 Edge Might Be Waterproof As Well When it comes to waterproofing, we have yet to see the feature achieve mass market popularity. We’ve been hearing several bits of rumors suggesting that the iPhone 7 from the Apple side of things will be waterproof. Today, Zauba listings for components that could be meant for the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-live-image-leak/) and Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-wireless-charging/) based on earlier information suggest that the devices might come with the feature on board.
The listing, whcih can be seen in the image above shows several components directed for the SM-G930 and the SM-G935 which have surfaced as codenames for the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-specifications-benchmarks/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-benchmark-mobile/) in the past. The first of these is a conductive gasket tape (generally used for grounding), Void Seals and more importantly, a waterproofing tape.
As the race to introduce new and differentiated gadgets to the market increases, manufacturers often find themselves in tricky positions. Should the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-render-leaks-show-camera-thickness-details/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge-rear-side-leaked-are-we-seeing-another-s6-in-design-form/) turn out be waterproof without affecting design or other features, we’d be eager to see the response of other manufacturers out there too. Rumors nevertheless stay rumors as we’ve been seeing similar claims surface for as as long as the Galaxy S5 (http://wccftech.com/dust-and-waterproof-galaxy-s5/).
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/s7-edge-zauba-720x189-635x167.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/s7-edge-zauba-720x189.jpg)
Advertisements

Aside from waterproofing components, we also get to take a look at other components for the SM-G930 and the SM-G935, which include antenna’s, PCBs and a testing sample as well. Samsung should be done with the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-0-50-25/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-renders/) by now so we’d be interested to see the nature of the sample that’s making rounds at Zauba.
Things have been quite open once again for this year’s flagship smartphone launches form the Korean manufacturer with almost every critical feature on the upcoming devices having surfaced in one form of speculation or rumor. Both the devices are expected to feature little design changes, come with the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-with-snapdragon-820-benchmarks/) and the Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-processor-ratio-claimed-favor-samsung/) on board, tout rear cameras with 12MP resolution 4GB of RAM.
That being said, the critical success of the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-feature-pressure-sensitive-screen-live-photos-feature/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-camera-specifications/) will lie once again in sustained market performance. 2015’s launches of the Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-galaxy-s6-edge-launched/) saw positive attention all around at time of launch, but things went a bit astray later on. Will Samsung be able to change things this year? We’ll find out soon enough. Till then, stay tuned and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

FCC filing confirms 3600mAh battery for Galaxy S7 Edge (http://www.tweaktown.com/news/50268/fcc-filing-confirms-3600mah-battery-galaxy-s7-edge/index.html)

A few days after learning Samsung's Galaxy S7 Edge (concept picture below) would feature a 3,500mAh battery (http://www.tweaktown.com/news/50214/galaxy-s7-battery-last-two-days-single-charge/index.html)comes an FCC filing confirming the original rumor was close but not quite on. Rather than 3,500mAh, the Edge will feature a 3,600mAh battery, according to a screenshot included in the filing.


http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/5/0/50268_1_fcc-filing-confirms-3600mah-battery-galaxy-s7-edge.jpg (http://www.tweaktown.com/image.php?image=imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/5/0/50268_1_fcc-filing-confirms-3600mah-battery-galaxy-s7-edge_full.jpg)

Unfortunately, the Galaxy S7 doesn't feature such a screenshot, so we can't confirm the previous 3,000 mAh battery rumor.

If you are looking forward to the S7 or S7 Edge, be sure to mark your calendar for February 21, when Samsung will reveal both phones officially.

Leaked Samsung Galaxy S7 edge Press Render Shows the Device in Silver

We saw a couple of live images of Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-live-image-leak/) and Galaxy S7 edge leaked yesterday. The images showed the upcoming duo in black, highlighting the flush camera on the smartphone. Today, a new press render has surfaced online, showcasing the curved Galaxy S7 in a beautiful silver.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Ca0KE8OWIAAYuYq.jpg
Galaxy S7 edge press render in silver/grey: The trustworthy leakster Evan Blass has shared an image on his Twitter feed, responding to Samsung failing to deliver Marshmallow updates to current high-end flagship (http://wccftech.com/android-6-0-1-on-galaxy-note-5-and-s6-edge-leaked-images/) devices. “Probably yr best bet for a Marshmallow-powered Galaxy. Android Nonpareil might be another story, tho.”
Blass doesn’t call this handset as the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-edge-releasing-late/), but the device couldn’t be any other smartphone. The visible curved display, references to a Marshmallow-powered Galaxy, and the new Galaxy S7 wallpaper are all enough to confirm that this indeed is the upcoming Galaxy S7 edge in grey/silver. If there could be any doubt, the image also confirms February 21 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-official-launch-date/) as the official launch date of the curved smartphone. The device has so far leaked in black, gold and silver/grey, but we will only be able to know about the complete list of available colors once the device is announced later this month.

In his tweet when Blass says “Android Nonpareil might be another story,” he is talking about the upcoming iteration of the Android mobile operating system. The Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge will come with Marshmallow (http://wccftech.com/top-marshmallow-custom-rom-choices/), out of the box. Looking at how even the most recent Galaxy devices are yet to receive Android 6.0 after over three months of its having been released, nothing could be said if the upcoming duo will receive timely Android N updates.
The 5.5-inch Samsung Galaxy S7 edge is rumored to feature a 3,600 mAh battery pack and will be released alongside the 5.1-inch Samsung Galaxy S7. The 2016 Galaxy duo is expected to come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-benchmark-mobile/) and Samsung’s own Exynos 8890. Both the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge are slated to be launched on February 21 in Barcelona, right before the Mobile World Congress 2016 starts.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 Leaks In Full Glory; Live Images Show Improved Aesthetics

With 10 days left until Samsung officially launches the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-0-50-25/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-renders/), we’ve got a good idea of what to expect from both the smartphones. Major gadget launches these days have started to serve as a mere formality in confirming earlier features, specifications and details that leak online sometime months before an impending launch. The Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-render-leaks-show-camera-thickness-details/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge-rear-side-leaked-are-we-seeing-another-s6-in-design-form/) are no exceptions, with live images showing the former in its full glory having surfaced today.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/eaa7934d5997af6.png (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/eaa7934d5997af6.png)
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Leaks Live Today Showing Refined Design Aesthetics Rewind things back a year, before the launch of the Galaxy S6 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-galaxy-s6-edge-launched/) and the Galaxy S6 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-edge-vs-htc-one-m9-camera-test/) and Samsung was a company that was struggling with design. The company had long hesitated from choosing metal as the main build element of its smartphones, with devices up to the Galaxy S5 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s5-vs-galaxy-s4-specs-video/) often receiving negative comments for their clunky, plastic build.
The Korean manufacturing giant changed things completely with the Galaxy S6 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-vs-iphone-6-vs-htc-one-m9-vs-nexus-6/) and the Galaxy S6 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-s6-edge-display-amazing-amazing-amazing/), as both the devices came with a smooth design. But that’s the thing about design, as Apple would likely attest as well; design a great device and you’ll be stuck about how to make things even better the next time around. Given the highly competitive nature of the flagship smartphone segment, this is a thorn in several manufacturers’ side, but looks like Samsung’s moving along quite smoothly.
Today’s image leak of the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-specifications-benchmarks/) shows that the device hasn’t changed much over a year, but the small details end up further refining the smartphone. For starters, if you take a look at the image above, you’ll see that the bezels on the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-benchmark-mobile/) are nearly non-existent. Furthermore, there won’t be any USB Type-C connectivity on the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-balance-snapdragon-exynos-performance-galaxy-s7/) either, which should come as a disappointment to many.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S7-PISAPAPELES.NET_.png (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S7-PISAPAPELES.NET_.png)

Switching to the rear of the device, we see that the curves at the back manage to blend in quite well with the overall form and the front of the device. All that speculation about a revamped rear camera sensor on the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-wireless-charging/) and the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-live-image-leak/) also seems to be correct, if you’ll take a look at the image above.
What strike our eyes the most are the smooth curved edges of the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-battery-pack-capacity-leaked-will-be-bigger-than-galaxy-s6/), something which Samsung seems to have borrowed from its Galaxy Note lineup. Not only does it make the device less hard on the eyes, but it also blends in perfectly with the smooth finishing on the back. Safe to say, Samsung’s got its money on the right cards when it comes to flagship smartphone design.
The Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-press-render-leaked-in-silver/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-waterproof-zauba-listings/) will be launched by Samsung on February 21st (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-official-launch-date/) on the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. We’ll be covering everything so stay tuned for more. Oh, and if you look closely at the first image, you’ll also see that the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/download-galaxy-s7-wallpapers-leaked/) is running the same wallpapers which leaked earlier. How’s that for authenticity. Thoughts? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Samsung Galaxy S7 And Galaxy S7 Edge Pre-orders Might Include Free Gear VR Headset

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36517/content/galaxy_s7_banner.jpg

Samsung is set to announce its next generation Galaxy S7 (http://hothardware.com/tags/galaxy-s7) and Galaxy S7 Edge (http://hothardware.com/tags/galaxy-s7-edge) smartphones on February 21st (http://hothardware.com/news/samsung-galaxy-unpacked-event-set-for-february-21st-with-galaxy-s7-and-gear-vr-focus). It seems as though not much is being left to the imagination as specs and renders of the smartphones (http://hothardware.com/news/official-samsung-galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge-renders-leak-ahead-of-global-debut) have leaked over the past few weeks, and now we’re learning about an enticing nugget of information for early adopters. Samsung will reportedly give customers that pre-order a Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge between February 21st and March 10th a free Gear VR Headset. Now before you brush such a notion off as unbelievable and a bit over-the-top, remember that the Gear VR retails for $99 (http://hothardware.com/news/samsung-gear-vr-headset-now-available-to-pre-order-for-99-ships-november-20th). So it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that Samsung would hope to not only boost early sales figures for its new flagships while at the same time pushing its VR agenda.

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36517/content/Samsung_Gear_VR.jpg

For the U.S. market, the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are expected to features 5.1-inch and 5.5-inch QHD displays respectively. Also on tap is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 (http://hothardware.com/tags/snapdragon-820) processor, 4GB of RAM and your choice of 32GB or 64GB of internal storage. Other possible feature additions include a pressure-sensitive display similar in concept to Apple’s 3D Touch (http://hothardware.com/tags/3d-touch) and the return of waterproofing and a microSD slot.
In another page taken from Apple’s book, Samsung is also expected to launch an upgrade program (http://hothardware.com/news/samsung-to-chase-apple-with-galaxy-smartphone-upgrade-program) which would allow customers to swap out their existing Galaxy for a new one every year by doling out a monthly fee. It’s unknown, however, if Samsung will offer any warranty perks similar in vein to AppleCare+ (http://hothardware.com/tags/applecare), which is included with the iPhone Upgrade Program (http://hothardware.com/tags/iphone-upgrade-program).

Pre-order Prices Of Galaxy S7 And Edge Models Confirmed

According to the latest report, Samsung is going to open up pre-orders for its Galaxy S7 the same day that it is going to be announced, which is February 21. Can you guess the smartphone models’ price tags?
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Samsung1-635x394.png
Pre-orders For Galaxy S7 And Galaxy S7 Edge Revealed – Want To Take A Guess As To What They Are According to Android World, given below are the pricing details of both Galaxy S7 models.


Galaxy S7: €699 or ($787.61 USD)
Galaxy S7 Edge: €799 ($900.38 USD)

The flagship smartphone is expected to be sporting both Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-with-snapdragon-820-benchmarks/) and Samsung’s own developed Exynos 8890 SoC (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-detailed-infograph/) (separate chipset models). According to our previously published reports (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-has-been-reported-to-come-in-two-screen-sizes-here-are-their-dimensions/), the upcoming smartphone is going to available in two screen size variants, and they have been listed below:


Galaxy S7
Galaxy S7 Edge
Galaxy S7 Edge Plus
Galaxy S7 Plus

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Samsung-Exynos2-635x356.png
We have already stated the specifications present inside the 5.1 inch screen variant (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-appears-on-antutu/), as well as the handset’s dual-SIM models (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-dual-sim-variants-certification/), which will most likely be arriving after the single-SIM versions have been brought into the spotlight. While Samsung has received significant amount of praise for its mobile hardware, it has been bombarded with the exact same opposite responses when it comes to its software. It was even reported that Google is intending on lending a helping hand (http://wccftech.com/google-reported-aiding-samsung-refining-touchwiz-interface/) to Samsung in order to further refine the interface, because it would be a huge blow to the tech giant if it loses out on the most popular Android smartphone manufacturer in the world right now.
Advertisements

As for the battery capacity, it is expected that Samsung is going to house a 3,000mAh battery (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-0-50-25/), along with fast charging capability to allow users more battery life when they cannot invest a hefty amount of time in plugging their device. Additionally, it has also been stated that the upcoming handset will be packing a 12.3MP rear camera sensor (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-camera-specifications/) with a wide aperture of F/1.7. This goes beyond the capabilities of Galaxy Note 5, which feature an aperture of F/1.9, showcasing that Galaxy S7 will perform very well in low-light conditions.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/S71-635x360.jpg
Despite the fact that the number of megapixels have been decreased, it will actually be advantageous in low-light environments because more light per pixel will effortlessly be able to enter the sensor, resulting in an accurate and pleasing image, even in locations where there are limited sources of light. Galaxy S7 is definitely looking to be a killer smartphone, and if Samsung is able to refine its mobile platform and add a MicroSD card slot, the company will definitely be able to get back into the smartphone game with severe ferocity.

Check out the teaser video below and tell us if you are excited over the launch of the product or not.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Appears In The Wild Yet Again; Leaked Image Shows Intimidating Design

With a week left until the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-balance-snapdragon-exynos-performance-galaxy-s7/) and the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-specifications-benchmarks/), there isn’t much that’s left for us to speculate on. Courtesy of the rumor mill, we’ve gotten to see nearly every specification and feature about both the devices surface so far and by the looks of things so far, Samsung is on the right track for its 2016 flagship smartphone launches. Today, yet another image of the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-render-leaks-show-camera-thickness-details/) has surfaced, showing the device from its side and you can take a look at it below.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/galaxy-s7-side-279x540.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/galaxy-s7-side-279x540.jpg) Samsung Galaxy S7 Side Image Shows Thin Form And Minimal Camera Protrusion As we’ve started to sink in February, more and more images of the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-wireless-charging/) and the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-live-image-leak/) have started to surface. Little design changes are expected from the Korean manufacturer this year on the Galaxy S lineup, with Samsung expected to focus instead on the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-battery-pack-capacity-leaked-will-be-bigger-than-galaxy-s6/)‘s performance and multimedia features more this time around.
That being said, today’s image of the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-waterproof-zauba-listings/) shows that Samsung really has managed to get a grip on flagship smartphone design since last year’s Galaxy S6 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-benchmarks/) and Galaxy S6 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-vs-galaxy-s5/). As you can see in the image above, not only do the rear and the front of the device blend in rather nicely with each other, but the camera sensor doesn’t appear to be that much of a sight for sore eyes when it comes to protrusion.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-edge-and-Galaxy-S7.jpg-635x424.png (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-edge-and-Galaxy-S7.jpg.png)

The finish of the device doesn’t seem that bad either so when it comes to design, the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-leaks-full-glory/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-press-render-leaked-in-silver/) shouldn’t be expected to disappoint at all. Specification wise, both the devices are expected to come with industry leading processors in the form of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-benchmarks/) and the Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-processor-ratio-claimed-favor-samsung/).
Rear camera is expected to receive special attention this year, with Samsung decreasing the resolution of the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/pre-order-prices-of-galaxy-s7-and-edge-models-confirmed/)‘s rear camera to 12MP. This will be compensated by a Dual-Photodiode camera sensor, which should improve motion photography and video recording significantly on the device. Additionally, we’re also expecting all new multimedia hardware on the devices, coupled with rumored pressure sensitive screens.
Thoughts? Let us know what you think in the comments section below and stay tuned for the latest.

Samsung wants to crank-up AMOLED production

http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/de25635d4a4952e069d32ccfa08c8af2_L.jpg (http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/de25635d4a4952e069d32ccfa08c8af2_XL.jpg)

Wants plenty for the Galaxy S7 edge
Samsung Display is planning to crank up production of AMOLED display panels for the company’s flagship smartphones that are due to be unveiled on February 21.

Word on the street is that Samsung is asking around to get more facilities that can provide a monthly production capacity of 9 million panels for the Galaxy S7 edge. Apparently it is worried that will not have a smooth supply. Samsung has already switched on its A2 and Tangjeong A3 flexible OLED lines at the Asan facility in the South Chungcheong province for the Galaxy S7 edge.
However what is surprising is that it may not be enough. The A2 5.5-generation line can produce more than 24,000 pieces of mother glass per month while Samsung's A3 6-generation line can manage 15,000 pieces. One piece of 6-generation mother glass can yield 300 5-inch display panels for smartphones and one piece of the 5.5-generation can yield 220 panels. Both production lines combined can produce up to 9 million flexible OLED panels per month when they are at maximum yield rates.
Samsung was caught on the hop last year when the slightly more expensive Galaxy S6 edge was actually preferred by customers and tfor several months it was in short supply. But wanting more panels is rather optimistic..

The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Fails To Impress In Unpolished Image Leak Today

The upcoming smartphone launches at the Mobile World Congress from Samsung, LG, Xiaomi and others have got the mobile world talking quite a lot, with users and industry watchers alike eager to take a look at how far manufacturers have progressed in terms of features, specifications and design. But given the current state of things, there’s very little curiosity left when it comes to the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-image-leak-side/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/pre-order-prices-of-galaxy-s7-and-edge-models-confirmed/), since both the devices have surfaced in the form of nearly every leak imaginable. Today, yet another image of the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-leaks-full-glory/) has surfaced, so lets revise what we know so far.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/s7-edge-black-2-294x540.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/s7-edge-black-2-294x540.jpg)
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Surfaces In Some Leaked Images Yet Again Confirming Design Details When it come to the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-press-render-leaked-in-silver/) and the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-waterproof-zauba-listings/), there are a couple of details about the devices which appear to be set in stone so far. For starters, the smartphones coming from Korea this year are expected to feature both the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-specifications-benchmarks/) and the Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-processor-ratio-claimed-favor-samsung/), expected to lend them a distinct performance edge (excuse the pun) in their respective markets.
Secondly, there won’t be any major design changes on the Galaxy S lineup this year, with Samsung allegedly looking to milk out its progress on the Galaxy S6 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-edge-vs-htc-one-m9-camera-test/)/S6 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-vs-iphone-6-vs-htc-one-m9-vs-nexus-6/) launched last year. According to the various image and render leaks that we’ve seen so far, the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-battery-pack-capacity-leaked-will-be-bigger-than-galaxy-s6/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/download-galaxy-s7-wallpapers-leaked/) will be further building on their respective predecessors, with Samsung choosing to pay focus on intricate details this time.

Compared to some of the earlier image leaks that we’ve seen with regards to the upcoming flagship upgrades from Samsung, today’s images appear to be rather unrefined and unpolished. While the same flowing curves are present, the absence of a rear side shot makes us unable to speculate on the device’s protruding camera. An earlier leaked image claims to show that Samsung’s managed to polish up the camera bump this time around, something which should come as a relief to many users and fans alike.
In terms of specifications (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-camera-specifications/), the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-wireless-charging/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-render-leaks-show-camera-thickness-details/) are expected to come with 4GB of RAM to support the Snapdragon and the Exynos, combined with a 12MP rear camera, 2560 x 1440 display resolution and a screen size expected to stay largely within the same limits. The company has also been rumored to have some rather interesting software features on board, including direct recording and upload of GIFs from your smartphone. Sound interesting? Let us know what you think in the comments section below and stay tuned for the latest updates.

Samsung Galaxy S7 video teases waterproof smartphone, and more (http://www.tweaktown.com/news/50424/samsung-galaxy-s7-video-teases-waterproof-smartphone-more/index.html)

Samsung will reveal the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge next week, but ahead of Mobile World Congress, Samsung Indonesia has released a new video showing off Samsung's next big thing.

Samsung Indonesia tags the video as #TheNextGalaxy, showing off that the Galaxy S7 will be waterproof, compared to water-resistant like its predecessor. Samsung Indonesia's website also says that the Galaxy S7 will take better pictures in low-light conditions, which is great as the camera on the Galaxy S6 was already freakin' awesome.

We'll see the Galaxy S7 unveiled on February 21 during MWC 2016.

Latest Samsung Video Shows That Galaxy S7 Will Have Two Extremely Crucial Features

Samsung is already expected to incorporate ‘state of the art’ hardware in its Galaxy S7, but it looks like the latest video shows the company plans on taking it one step (or two steps) further.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/S72-635x360.jpg
Galaxy S7 Will Indeed Be Supporting Wireless Charging And Will Also Be Waterproof If you take a look at the latest video (given below), Galaxy S7, apart from its impressive hardware and design looks to pack a wireless charging circuit inside its chassis, and what’s more is that consumers who have a tendency of dropping their expensive smartphones into water will not have to worry about the upcoming flagship, that is if they intend on purchasing it. This is because the video also shows that the device is going to be waterproof, which is a necessary protection that only a handful devices come with.
Additionally, the flagship smartphone is expected to be sporting both Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-with-snapdragon-820-benchmarks/) and Samsung’s own developed Exynos 8890 SoC (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-detailed-infograph/) (separate chipset models). According to our previously published reports (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-has-been-reported-to-come-in-two-screen-sizes-here-are-their-dimensions/), the upcoming smartphone is going to available in two screen size variants, and we have already stated the specifications present inside the 5.1 inch screen variant (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-appears-on-antutu/), as well as the handset’s dual-SIM models (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-dual-sim-variants-certification/), which will most likely be arriving after the single-SIM versions have been brought into the spotlight.

While Samsung has received significant amount of praise for its mobile hardware, it has been bombarded with the exact same opposite responses when it comes to its software. It was even reported that Google is intending on lending a helping hand (http://wccftech.com/google-reported-aiding-samsung-refining-touchwiz-interface/) to Samsung in order to further refine the interface, because it would be a huge blow to the tech giant if it loses out on the most popular Android smartphone manufacturer in the world right now.

Despite the fact that the number of megapixels have been decreased, it will actually be advantageous in low-light environments because more light per pixel will effortlessly be able to enter the sensor, resulting in an accurate and pleasing image, even in locations where there are limited sources of light. Galaxy S7 is definitely looking to be a killer smartphone, and if Samsung is able to refine its mobile platform and add a MicroSD card slot, the company will definitely be able to get back into the smartphone game with severe ferocity.

Latest Samsung Galaxy S7 Photo Leak Confirms Return of Coveted microSD Slot


One of the most talked about smartphones is a model that's not even out yet, the Galaxy S7 (http://hothardware.com/tags/galaxy-s7). Not without reason, Samsung's (http://hothardware.com/tags/samsung) next flagship is an interesting product on a number of levels, and as such there's been no shortage of rumors, leaked photos, and outright speculation. One of the recurring themes among it all is whether or not Samsung will bring back expandable storage via microSD, and the latest leak suggests it will.

The folks at Android Authority secured some photos and what they feel are concrete details about the Galaxy S7 from an "anonymous insider." Surprisingly, the leaked photos aren't terrible—how often have we been able to say THAT? One of them shows the microSD/SIM card tray combo removed from the phone. Have a look:

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36565/content/Samsung_Galaxy_S7_Leaked.jpg


The actual microSD slot isn't visible, but according to the insider, it's there. He also spilled a few other specs, including the presence of a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera, 2,800 mAh battery, IP68 or IP67 rating, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow shipping on the Galaxy S7 out of the box (no big surprise there).

If in fact Samsung does bring back the microSD card slot, it will be much to the delight of Galaxy fans, many of which bemoaned its absence in the Galaxy S6. It was one of several noticeably missing features resulting from Samsung's decision to run with a more premium design than it had with previous Galaxy handsets. The lack of a removable battery was another popular complaint.

The Galaxy S7 will also be the first flagship device released under the guidance of D.J. Koh, who replaced J.K. Shin (http://hothardware.com/news/samsung-receives-new-mobile-chief-to-reverse-downward-trending-smartphone-sales-earnings) as Samsung's mobile boss late last year.

Leaked Galaxy S7 Video Shows That The Device Is Bringing Back One Crucial Feature
With a string of leaks continuing to pour in concerning the latest flagship from Samsung, Galaxy S7 might be bringing back a crucial feature after all; one that was void in the entire Galaxy S6 and Note 5 family.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/S7-1-635x360.jpg
Leaked Galaxy S7 Video Shows A MicroSD Card Slot – Storage Expansion Flexibility For Consumers After All Yes ladies and gentlemen, that is correct, Galaxy S7 is looking to sport a MicroSD card slot, allowing you to take complete advantage of the storage expansion flexibility that is ubiquitously present in a wide range of mobile devices. However, there are some disappointing aspects of the device. Starting off, the smartphone lacks the appeal that its predecessors were glowing with, but we suppose that having convenient and crucial features like a removable battery (which is not included as part of the feature list in Galaxy S7) and expandable storage trumps everything having to do with the cosmetics of the phone.
Additionally, the device expected to come incorporated with a 2,800mAh battery. Earlier leaks suggested that the smartphone would be packing a 3,000mAh cell, which is the same capacity present inside the company’s Galaxy Note 5. It appears that the South Korean tech giant has once again skimped out on providing us with sufficient amounts of battery life, which is thoroughly disappointing to see. However, with the improved hardware present inside the smartphone, we should expect better efficiency, leading to better battery life.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Samsung-Exynos-1-635x356.png
The flagship smartphone is expected to be sporting both Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-with-snapdragon-820-benchmarks/) and Samsung’s own developed Exynos 8890 SoC (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-detailed-infograph/) (separate chipset models). According to our previously published reports (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-has-been-reported-to-come-in-two-screen-sizes-here-are-their-dimensions/), the upcoming smartphone is going to available in two screen size variants and we have already stated the specifications present inside the 5.1 inch screen variant (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-appears-on-antutu/), as well as the handset’s dual-SIM models (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-dual-sim-variants-certification/), which will most likely be arriving after the single-SIM versions have been brought into the spotlight.

While Samsung has received significant amount of praise for its mobile hardware, it has been bombarded with the exact same opposite responses when it comes to its software. It was even reported that Google is intending on lending a helping hand (http://wccftech.com/google-reported-aiding-samsung-refining-touchwiz-interface/) to Samsung in order to further refine the interface, because it would be a huge blow to the tech giant if it loses out on the most popular Android smartphone manufacturer in the world right now.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Samsung-Exynos-2-635x360.png
Additionally, it has also been stated that the upcoming handset will be packing a 12.3MP rear camera sensor (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-camera-specifications/) with a wide aperture of F/1.7. This goes beyond the capabilities of Galaxy Note 5, which feature an aperture of F/1.9, showcasing that Galaxy S7 will perform very well in low-light conditions. Despite the fact that the number of megapixels have been decreased, it will actually be advantageous in low-light environments because more light per pixel will effortlessly be able to enter the sensor, resulting in an accurate and pleasing image, even in locations where there are limited sources of light.
Galaxy S7 is definitely looking to be a killer smartphone, and if Samsung is able to refine its mobile platform and add a MicroSD card slot, the company will definitely be able to get back into the smartphone game with severe ferocity.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Just Went For Sale Complete With Image Sets



In a cycle that’s expected to end in three days from now, both the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/leaked-galaxy-s7-video-shows-device-bringing-crucial-feature/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/latest-samsung-video-shows-galaxy-s7-extremely-crucial-features/) have been regular features of the news; months prior to their launch. Courtesy of this information, we can speculate on what the devices from Samsung will offer this year; with the majority of upgrades expected to target performance and multimedia.
Design wise, there’s expected to be little change in over all aesthetics, with Samsung expected to target the details. Today, we get to see some alleged unboxing images of the device, so take a look below to find out more.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Goes For Sale In Dubai; Alleged Images Confirm Previous Leaks

Judging by the rate leaks and rumors have progressed when it comes to the upcoming flagship launches from Samsung, its no surprise that we get to see the device listed online for sale. As ridiculous as it might sound, that’s exactly what happened in Dubai today, with online retailer Dubizzle listing the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-image/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-image-leak-side/) for grabs.
While the listing has been taken down as of now, it came with its own set of images, that largely confirm what we’ve been hearing about the device(s) so far. The Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/pre-order-prices-of-galaxy-s7-and-edge-models-confirmed/) sees some unboxing images surface today, complete with accessories. The box, which can be seen in the image above looks rather plain to us, and given the absence of any labels/logos in the images, could have been homemade as well.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/99af1049jw1f11cimxivrj20k00b8dgh.jpg
Taking a look at the alleged accessories inside the box, we find that there are no earphones, in addition to some pretty strange looking items. This device could after all be a testing/prototype version of the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-leaks-full-glory/), as Samsung’s had plenty of time to work on the smartphone. Design wise, there are no changes from what we’ve been telling you previously.

In addition to the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-press-render-leaked-in-silver/), we also have some images of the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-battery-pack-capacity-leaked-will-be-bigger-than-galaxy-s6/) for you today, that allow for a closer look at the device. The source of these images claims that they’re authentic as well, and this time we get to see the device powered on, with the SIM/Micro SD tray removed. Dimension wise, the Galaxy S7 appears to be mostly unchanged, with no interesting details surfacing today.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/galaxy-s7-crop-1200x883-635x467.jpg

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/galaxy-s7-crop-2-1200x949-635x502.jpg

One thing can be taken for certain about the upcoming launches of both the smartphones however. Nearly every image/render leak of both the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-waterproof-zauba-listings/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-camera-specifications/) so far has show what appears to be a vastly redesigned rear camera sensor. This is once again confirmed in today’s leak so we’re quite interested to see what changes Samsung has planned for us in this regard.
As far as specifications go, the resolution for this sensor is expected to stand at 12MP, a tone down from last year’s devices. Samsung’s BRITCELL is also expected to make it on board, combined with what’s been floating around as a Dual Photo-Diode camera sensor. We’ve also been hearing rumors of a new version of Optical Image Stabilization, so things should shape up quite nicely for camera fans this year.

(http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-image-set-confirms-launch/#ixzz40WiIG02e)The Samsung Galaxy S7 To Set Itself Apart Through Waterproofing And Always-On Display

As the smartphone world becomes increasingly competitive day by day, manufacturers often find themselves in a bind as far as upgrades and new feature additions are concerned. With the upcoming launches of Samsung’s Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-image-set-confirms-launch/)/S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/leaked-galaxy-s7-video-shows-device-bringing-crucial-feature/), LG’s G5 (http://wccftech.com/qualcomm-confirms-lg-g5-s820-device-listed-sale/) and Xiaomi’s Mi5, the stage is set once again for each company to prove its mettle and show everyone what new upgrades and features it has brought on the table. As far as the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-image/) is concerned, we’ve been hearing about a couple of unique features and today there’s some more mention of waterproofing and an always-on display for the flagship smartphone.

Samsung Posts Video Teasing Waterproofing For Galaxy S7 As Always On Display Gets Another Mention As we head towards MWC in Barcelona, there’s little more that can be speculated about the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-image-leak-side/). The flagship smartphone is expected to feature all the goodies that you’d come to expect from a top tier device and the mobile world is finely attuned to Samsung’s upcoming event in Barcelona.
The Korean electronics giant is adding further fuel to the fire in the form of some teaser/advertisement videos, one of which you can take a look at above. Judging by the video we should definitely expect some sort of focus towards waterproofing on the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/pre-order-prices-of-galaxy-s7-and-edge-models-confirmed/) by Samsung, and if we’re lucky, the device might come with a complete waterproofing certification. What impact will that have on its aesthetics will only be known once Samsung’s all done with its Unpacked event.

In today’s second bit of news, we see the Russian tipster Eldar Murtazin return, this time with some information on the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-leaks-full-glory/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-press-render-leaked-in-silver/)‘s alleged Always-on feature. This feature is expected to continuously provide users with key facts and information, regardless of device usage. So you’d expect your Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-waterproof-zauba-listings/) in particular to display alerts, notifications and more throughout the day, adding quite a bit to the device’s overall functionality.
Only four days are left until the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-wireless-charging/) and the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-render-leaks-show-camera-thickness-details/) are officially unveiled by the Korean manufacturers at the sidelines of MWC. Specification wise, both the devices will be a tough pair to beat as we’re expecting the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-specifications-benchmarks/)/Exynos 8890 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-balance-snapdragon-exynos-performance-galaxy-s7/), 4GB RAM, Dual-PD 12MP (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-camera-specifications/) rear camera sensors and more on them, which coupled with waterproofing and always-on should make them well rounded off offerings.

Samsung to launch phone upgrade plan on March 11

http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/cd4c1b5b697d814c8e858e747a7a236d_L.jpg (http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/cd4c1b5b697d814c8e858e747a7a236d_XL.jpg)

Calls it Galaxy Club
Whatever Apple has in its latest model and Samsung Galaxy is missing, will be present in the next generation of Galaxy smartphones and the launch of the Galaxy Club phone upgrade service just confirms this.

Samsung will introduce the new Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge smartphones on February 21 and it will start selling three weeks later on March 11.
Instead of simple phone purchase or getting a phone from your network carrier via subscription to a specific and usually overpriced plan, the Galaxy Club phone upgrade service will be offered. You can see the Galaxy Club as a phone rental / leasing service. You should pay a monthly fee for using the phone and at the end of the contract, let's say two years; you can swap the old one and get a new Galaxy phone.

http://www.fudzilla.com/images/stories/2016/January/samsung-galaxy-s7-official-image.jpg
The business plan is a copy from iPhone Upgrade Program that works the same. There are still no information about specifics, including how much will the program cost and if you will be able to swap this year's Galaxy for the next years. Since Apple allows changing your undamaged phone every year, it is safe to assume that Samsung will do the same. At this rate of copying features, it would not surprise us to see an Error 53 (http://www.fudzilla.com/news/39892-iphone-error-53-bricking-repaired-phones-worldwide) happening to Samsung phones too, as it would mean more money for the company.
Most of the leaks about the Galaxy S7 and the S7 Edge didn’t really talked if Samsung's latest phones will have a force touch feature. Rumours from December and January suggested that Samsung will copy this feature, but they went numb after mid-January. We will have to wait for Sunday the February 21 to see, but we would imagine it is highly likely.
Galaxy Club secret upgrade dungeon A phone upgrade plan is starting to make more sense than owning a car, as if you are one of the must have latest and greatest, it is just less hassle to swap the upgrade plan and get a new phone then to sell your existing phone on eBay. The way things work for many upgrade addicts, they sell their eg. iPhone a week or two before the new one comes out, get a great value, live a few weeks off some back up phone, and then they get the latest iPhone. The Samsung Galaxy Club or the iPhone Upgrade Program simply sound easier.

Final Versions For Samsung Galaxy S7 And Galaxy S7 Edge Leak In Cornucopia Of Images; Simplistic Changes On Board

Things are expected to come to a nice conclusion for the Android world tomorrow, with the pending launches of Samsung’s Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsungs-galaxy-s7-feature-high-quality-features/) and Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-feature-blazing-fast-data-speeds-typec-connectivity/). Not only will both the devices be the first Android flagships for 2016, they’ll also mark the launch of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/qualcomm-snapdragon-820-specifications-benchmarks/); the US chipmaking giant’s successor to the Snapdragon 810, which failed to make it on last year’s Galaxy S6/S6 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-galaxy-s6-edge-launched/).
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Edge-LEAK-AH-11-635x288.jpg
Take An Early Look At Today’s Galaxy S7 And Galaxy S7 Edge Alleged Images; Detailed Exposure Day Ahead Of Launch When it comes to both of the devices due from the Korean manufacturer tomorrow, Samsung’s Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-waterproofing/) and Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-image-set-confirms-launch/) will be coming with little secrets. Critical details about the devices, such as its processor have been long rumored. In fact, we’ve not only been hearing about the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-benchmarks/), but also about the close relationship of both the companies in developing the processor.
Visual and design details of the devices have also started to make recent appearance; perhaps in congruence with the little changes expected on the flagship(s) this year. The numerous leaks so far suggest that both the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/leaked-galaxy-s7-video-shows-device-bringing-crucial-feature/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/latest-samsung-video-shows-galaxy-s7-extremely-crucial-features/) will not be paying great attention to design details. Instead, Samsung’s expected to build on it’s 2015 launches and give a more balanced focus to both the hardware specifications and performance features of the devices.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Edge-LEAK-AH-07-635x423.jpg
That being said, today we’ve managed to get our hands on what some can consider a treasure trove of images showing both the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-image/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-image-leak-side/). Compared to some earlier leaks, today’s devices seem to be final versions of the flagship, which shouldn’t be surprising since Samsung’s all set to make its announcements tomorrow.
Compared to last year’s Galaxy S lineup, the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/pre-order-prices-of-galaxy-s7-and-edge-models-confirmed/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-leaks-full-glory/) do appear to have a more refined appearance. Taking a look at the front of the devices in the images above, Samsung’s blended the fingerprint sensor and earphone with the front. In addition to this, the curves of both the devices in comparison with their edges are also more fluid, which could end up with ergonomic benefits.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Edge-LEAK-AH-09-1600x1066-635x423.jpg

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Edge-LEAK-AH-16-635x328.jpg

In addition to design details, today’s images also offer some dimensional details of the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-press-render-leaked-in-silver/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-waterproof-zauba-listings/). Given its alleged minimal attention to aesthetics, Samsung’s also not expected to tinker around in dimensional terms. Taking a look at the heights of the pair, this turns out be true, with both device lying in the ballpark of 5.5 inches.
The Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-live-image-leak/) once again appears to be the larger of both the devices, though by a small margin. Moving towards the bottom, we see the speaker grille and the USB/earphone ports from the right. The Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-wireless-charging/) appears to be the better designed device out of the two, though of course final judgement rests on personal preferences. Side curves blend in efficiently with the structural frame for both the devices, as can be seen below.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Edge-LEAK-AH-10-635x423.jpg

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Edge-LEAK-AH-14-635x423.jpg

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Edge-LEAK-AH-13-635x423.jpg

There’s virtually no change at the bottom of the devices, with not only the ports/grille appearing in the same order, but the arrangement of the antenna bands being similar as well. Move towards the side of the phone and you’ll see the power button make it to the right in addition to the volume buttons making it to the left. This minimal approach works rather well for the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-balance-snapdragon-exynos-performance-galaxy-s7/) partly due to the curved screen which gives the appearance of a slim form factor.
The rear camera for the pair also stays consistent with previous leaks, as we see that the rear bump which users have come to dislike in general almost done away with. The sensor is also different from what was found on the Galaxy S6 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-vs-iphone-6-vs-htc-one-m9-vs-nexus-6/) and the Galaxy S6 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-edge-vs-htc-one-m9-camera-test/), so all that talk about different resolutions, sensors and software might also bear fruit after all.
Given the general apathy towards design, Samsung’s going to need one central feature for the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-benchmark-mobile/) pair and aside from the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-specifications-benchmarks/), an improved camera can do the trick for the Korean manufacturer.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Edge-65-635x423.jpg

That marks the end of today’s complete leak of Samsung’s Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-render-leaks-show-camera-thickness-details/) and Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-design/). Heading towards the Korean manufacturer’s highly anticipated launch event expected to take place tomorrow, we have a fair idea of what to expect in terms of aesthetics. All the leaks and rumors taking place over the months have raised the bar even higher for Samsung to surprise us.
Will the company manage to succeed or simply launch yet another great smartphone that we’ve been used to see it do for quite a while? We’ll let you know soon. Till then, stay tuned and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Specifications, Features, Price And More



After a busy couple of months, its finally time for us to take an official look at the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-specifications-images/). With its different approach on the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge last year, the Korean manufacturing giant managed to shift gears and become a more strong player in the global smartphone market.
While Samsung’s diverse presence in the mobile sphere has been long established, final quarters of 2014 saw the Korean manufacturing giant suffer from a loss of shareholder confidence, which was followed by a vastly redesigned Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge.
That being said, today’s launch of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-image-set-confirms-launch/) doesn’t change things as significantly; something which has been predicted by the rumor mill for sometime. But we do get several key changes and features on board, which should keep users interested for another flagship cycle.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/GS7-Edge-635x423.jpg
Design

Starting from the design details of Samsung’s larger variant of the Galaxy S7, we see that the overall device structure stays constant. The device retains an all metal unibody, coupled with two curving screen sides that will now also be aided with the functionality of always-on display.
Fingerprint sensor for the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-image/) is placed at the bottom and now covers more area. The bottom sees a similar arrangement of the USB/earphone ports and a speaker grille. Overall dimensions stand at 150.9 x 72.6 x 7.7mm, marking for a 0.7mm increase from last year. The larger battery should be the one to account for this change.

Samsung’s chosen to keep the overall simplistic and minimalist touch alive on this year’s Galaxy flagship smartphone devices as well. In fact, a good addition to this year’s design specifications is the reduction of the rear camera bump. In fact, the rear camera of the device receives significant attention, as you’ll be able to see below.
Another design feature that sees a change on the device that has changed is its overall ergonomics. Slight changes around the corners should make the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-press-render-leaked-in-silver/) much more easier to hold, which should come as a blessing as the screen size has gone up by 0.4 inches this time around. Oh and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-waterproof-zauba-listings/)‘s also water resistant as well, so you’d be motivated to play around with the device a little bit.

Performance

On board the device is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820, which has taken the spotlight this year for flagship smartphone processors. Much of this is due to the throttling issues on the Snapdragon 810, which led to the significant rise in popularity of the Exynos 7422.
With its launch, the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-waterproofing/) promises to deliver 30.4% improved processor and an impressive 63.9% improvement over the Galaxy S6 Edge’s processor. The Snapdragon 820 comes with 2 sets of dual Kryo cores on board, clocked at 1.6 and 2.1GHz respectively. Following this, its expected this year that the processor will deliver a 30% performance and 60% GPU improvements over its predecessor.
Alongside the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-benchmark-scores/), the Galaxy S7 Edge also comes with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM combined with . These, coupled with a 3600mAh battery should prove sufficient for a lot of users. That’s an exact 1000mAh increase over the S6 Edge and should really take some heavy usage to drain. Given the Snapdragon 820 and a screen resolution of 2560×1440, we’re sure users will find ways to test this to the limit as well.

Camera

Once again, camera details on the Galaxy S7 Edge received special focus for Samsung. The rear camera for the Galaxy S7 Edge stands at an aperture size of f/1.7 and will have 30% larger pixels than the iPhone 6s Plus. Directly naming Apple’s devices at its launch events haven’t been a rare occurrence for Samsung, with the Galaxy S6 Edge’s launch last year seeing similar instances.
Resolution for the rear camera stands at 12MP combined with Dual Pixel OIS on board. This is something which made an appearance on the rumor mill a while back as well, with Samsung long expected to take a different approach with the device’s camera this time around. The Dual Pixel sensor should use 100% pixels for focusing.
The front camera comes with a similar f/1.7 lens with a resolution of 5MP. The Galaxy S7 Edge’s focus this time round seems to be on the rear camera, which certainly looks to be able to stand its ground against other competitors. The wider f/1.7 aperture should also allow for 95% increased inflow of light, something that will definitely have its impact in low light scenarios.

Conclusion

Has the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge changed things dramatically? No. But the launch of the smartphone marks a new approach for devices in the Android world overall; with manufacturers now looking to make big changes after considerable thought. Nevertheless, hardware and general performance specifications receive the usual attention, with the Galaxy S7 Edge seeing focused attention towards battery and camera.
If you’re looking for a smartphone upgrade this year, especially from the Galaxy S6 Edge, the S7 Edge should be a strong contender. But what’s going to be more interesting to note is Samsung’s approach next year, since we might very well see a vastly different successor to today’s device.
It all boils down to personal preference at the end, and the Galaxy S7 Edge will become available for sale starting March 11th. Pre-orders begin from February 23rd, with the device to cost $799 – something which should influence quite a few Android users out there. Thoughts? Let us know what you think in the comments section below and stay tuned for the latest.

Samsung’s flagship for the year 2016, Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-specifications-features-price/) and its edge variant have officially made it to the public eye. The S7 follow a different approach than its predecessor and by the look of it, it seems the manufacturing giant is looking to go way beyond. Let’s see how both of these smartphones stack up against each other and their predecessors.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/GS7-Edge-3-635x423.jpg
Samsung’s Galaxy S7 And S7 Edge Are Finally Here Before today’s launch, we have observed that Samsung (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-waterproofing/) has adopted a different set of design for each of its Galaxy S lineup. This year, we can see that the Korean manufacturing giant has kept the basics of last years design. This is somewhat the same move Apple makes every two years – launching an ‘S’ iPhone with the same design aesthetics of its predecessor. Nonetheless, both the Galaxy S7 and S6 are very different than the iPhone 6s (http://wccftech.com/apple-launches-shot-iphone-campaign-iphone-6s/) is to iPhone 6.
This year, Samsung is enlarging the S7 edge screen to 5.5-inches. For what we can guess, there would not be an S7 edge+ variant released alongside the Galaxy Note 6. Previously, the company had diluted its high-end Galaxy Note 5 by launching the Galaxy S6 edge+ with the same diagonal screen real-estate. Talking about the Galaxy S7 edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-specifications-images/), it now boasts a pretty stunning screen-to-body ratio with a stellar design, making it a one of the most close-packed 5.5-inchers in the market.
Moreover, if you’re not familiar with the ‘edge’ in the Galaxy lineup, the smartphone features (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-specifications-features-price/) a curved glass on both sides of the device. Here are the official images of the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge press photos.

The Galaxy S7 and S7 edge both come with tapered rear for a better grip yet not sacrificing the comforts of the elegantly designed device. Furthermore, if you happened to have a Galaxy S6 or S6 edge, you might have seen the bulge at the back of your device. In the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-specifications-images/), the camera now sits way more flush, which is definitely a pleasing change.
Apart from the sleek form factor of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, the colors are slightly altered compared to last year. The S7 in United States will come in Black Onyx and Gold Platinum, which are the same colors as last year. Meanwhile, the S7 edge will come in the same two colors, however an additional color includes Silver Titanium. Do check out the promo video below.

Samsung Galaxy S7 matches 'high-end games consoles', says Epic Games


We've known for a while that smartphones are rapidly catching up to console-grade graphics, and by 2017, we'll have phones that are better than a PS4. But what about today's phones?

http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/5/0/50575_11_samsung-galaxy-s7-matches-high-end-games-consoles-epic.jpg

According to Epic Games' founder Tim Sweeney, Samsung's new Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge duo are gaming powerhouses that actually match the performance of higher-end games consoles: "Features that were only possible on high-end game consoles now run on a device that fits in your pocket," Sweeney said in a recent promo tweet.

Both the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge pack Qualcomm's new beefy Snapdragon 820 SoC, which includes the powerful Adreno 530 GPU. The Adreno 530 is optimized to support next-gen API's like Unreal Engine 4 and Vulkan to enable photorealistic 3D environments, and sports enhancements across the board including 64-bit Virtual Addresses and other key architectural changes. These new upgrades will play quite nicely with Samsung's mobile Gear VR headset, adding in a new power boost to improve immersion.

http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/5/0/50575_7_samsung-galaxy-s7-matches-high-end-games-consoles-epic.jpg

Samsung further claims that the new GPU is also up to 64% times faster than its predecessor, and efficient power management ensures your phone won't overheat while gaming.

The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge duo are slated for release on March 11, and if you pre-order either handset you'll get a free Gear VR. If you pre-order between February 28 and March 8, Samsung will also throw in six free VR games to flex your new handset's gaming capabilities.

[Breakdown] Samsung Galaxy S7 Vs Galaxy S7 Edge Vs iPhone 6s Vs iPhone 6s Plus; Design, Specs & Features

With the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge yesterday, the smartphone world now takes a new direction, as we can officially start comparing all the various flagship offerings out there. If you’re looking for a smartphone upgrade this quarter, pre-orders for the device begin tomorrow, so do book yourself one. Till then, take a look below at how both of Samsung’s latest launches compare with the other side of the smartphone sphere; Apple and its iPhone 6s/6s Plus.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Galaxy-S7-and-S7-edge-official-press-shots-22-635x423.jpg
Design When it comes to design, Samsung’s managed to vastly change its approach over the past two years. Both the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge follow in their predecessor’s footsteps, maintaining the overall sleek form and build approach. However, there have been changes this time around, with both the devices being more user friendly in ergonomic terms. The overall approach on the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge is fluid, with the smoothed out corners playing their part.
Thickness wise, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge stand at 7.9 and 7.7mm respectively, with the larger screened S7 Edge taking the lead. Comparing these to the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus we see that Samsung’s devices are slightly big boned. Apple’s device measure 7.1 and 7.3mm respectively in thickness but you’ll see this accounted for later.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/iPhone-6s-32-635x328.png
The iPhone 6s Plus is the heaviest of the four devices, weighing in at 192g. Surprisingly, both the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy Edge outweigh the iPhone 6s, even though the latter comes with Force Touch on board. The lighter 1715mAh battery accounts this fact, with the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge packing 3000 and 3600mAh batteries.
Finally, coming towards Apple’s design approach on the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus, we saw the company introduce new materials to improve structural stability. No made it on board, with both the iPhone’s following the iPhone 6/6 Plus’ and somewhat the iPod Touch 5g in terms of aesthetics.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Galaxy-S7-and-S7-edge-official-press-shots-37-635x423.jpg
Photography & Multimedia While design might make any device attractive on the outside, the critical selling point of most electronic gadgets is performance. But while the ability to run complex and demanding tasks on electronic devices might have been important, recently we’ve started to see manufacturers pay special attention to the photographic features as well.
Talking in terms of camera resolutions, rear cameras for the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge stand at 12MP, Dual Pixel sensors with OIS on board. According to Samsung, not only does the camera sensor on its flagship smartphones uses all of its pixels for focusing, but both the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge come with larger pixels on board; 30% larger than the iPhone 6s Plus according to Samsung.
Another significant addition to the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 this year is the aperture size, with both the front and rear cameras coming with f/1.7. This should allow for some very impressive results in low light environments, and is the largest on a smartphone as of now.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/iPhone-6-Plus-Camera-Image-Sample-11-635x476.jpg
The iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus also feature 12MP rear camera sensors, with aperture size f/2.2. Out of the two, only the iPhone 6s Plus comes with OIS on board in otherwise similar specifications between the two. All of the devices come with 4K video, HDR and Panaorama recording on board, though we’d expect that 4K should be tough to pull off with the 16GB variants of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.
For our verdict, we’d hand this one over to the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. The aperture size and Samsung’s Dual Pixel take on the devices’ camera sensor shows a serious approach towards things which should definitely be expected to bear fruit once we get to test the device for ourselves. Apple’s software tricks on the iPhone might end up making the competition a tough one as well.

Performance Coming towards performance, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 on board, manufactured on Samsung’s 14nm FinFET. It comes with four Kryo cores arranged at 2+2 and clocked at 1.6 and 2.1 GHz per cluster. These are supplemented by alleged two L2 Caches of 512KB and 1MB respectively per core.
Aside from Kryo, the Snapdragon 820 comes with the Adreno 530 on board, which should expected too make quite a difference for the processor in overall performance. The Adreno 530 can clock up to 756 GHz and some alleged benchmark scores show the GPU matching up to Nvidia’s Tegra X1 as well. Thile this can only be confirmed once actual tests are run, hopes are high for Qualcomm’s resurgence this time around.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/php3ni4og.jpg
Apple on the other hand takes a simplistic approach with its processors. The Apple A9 under the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus comes with two Twister cores, compatible with ARM’s v8-A on board and is clocked at 1.86GHz. The Cupertino manufacturer has always relied on its complete control over both the hardware and software aspects of the iPhone and with the A9’s single pipeline chips a similar approach is seen yet again.
In addition to the 3MB of shared L2 and 4MB of shared L3 Cache, we also see the A9 come with its own dedicated image processor, which gives the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus an interesting edge over Samsung and Qualcomm’s launches. That being said, the Snapdragon 820 isn’t short of any tricks up its sleeve either, with Qualcomm to push Heterogeneous computing even further this time around. Performance scores of both the processors will be interesting to look at though we expect the A9 to lead in single core and the Snapdragon to lead in multi-core results as usual.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/13753-8786-11966-5441-force-touch-example-l-l-635x265.jpg
Display Coming towards perhaps the final piece in the smartphone puzzle, we see the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge come with WQHD resolutions on board, with a pixel density of 534 and 577ppi respectively. When compared to the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, which feature full HD resolution for the larger variant and 1334 x 750 for the 6s. These, combined with ppi values of 326 and 401 respectively for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus respectively give the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge the clear lead.
But higher resolutions don’t mean better screen performance, particularly given the fact that after a certain limit, pixel densities cease to be relevant when being seen by our eyes. Plus, the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge come with batteries of 3000 and 3600mAh; we’re sure these could be put to better use if Samsung had chosen to stick with lower resolutions. But the Snapdragon 820’s power consumption improvements should help Samsung in this regard.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Galaxy-S7-and-S7-edge-official-press-shots-10-635x423.jpg
However, the Apple iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus take the lead over Samsung’s Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge when it comes to display functionality. Apple’s 2015 offerings come with Force Touch on board, which is Cupertino’s pressure sensitive input mechanism for the devices’ screen, based on principles of haptic feedback. In fact, soon after the launch of the ninth generation iPhones, we began to see rumors surface of Samsung’s similar plans for the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, though they’ve failed to materialize as it can clearly be seen.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/iPhone-6s-2-635x280.png
Conclusion To conclude, it’s obvious that both of the devices come with their relative strengths and weaknesses on board. In terms of hardware performance, nothing can be said for sure until comprehensive tests can be carried out on the Snapdragon 820, but do expect Krait to make a strong comeback this year. Users who require the maximum possible computing power out of their smartphones should definitely consider the Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 Edge, especially given their 4GB of RAM and 3000/3600 mAh batteries.
On the camera side of things, we see the playing field pretty even, though you’d be advised to avoid the iPhone 6s if you’re looking for OIS. Samsung’s aperture size upgrades, pixel size increase and new sensors on the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge make a strong case for the device’s camera specifications, so we’d advise you to wait until the smartphones are released. Though if you’re feeling lucky then pre-orders are open as well, so go ahead and book yourself one.
The main differentiating point between the four devices is, in our opinion, Force Touch. Apple’s pressure based feedback definitely takes the lead over Samsung’s devices when it comes to making further additions on a smartphone’s functionality, a theme also echoed in LG’s launch of the LG G5. But once again, it all boils down to personal preference. Thoughts? Let us know what you think in the comments section below and stay tuned for the latest.

Samsung Galaxy S7 lets you flag scam, fraud calls (http://www.tweaktown.com/news/50603/samsung-galaxy-s7-lets-flag-scam-fraud-calls/index.html)



We reported a lot of reasons to get excited about the Galaxy S7 earlier today (http://www.tweaktown.com/news/50574/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-surprising-refinement-last-year/index.html), and now we have a few more, thanks to a partnership between Whitepages and Samsung.


http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/5/0/50603_1_samsung-galaxy-s7-lets-flag-scam-fraud-calls.jpg (http://www.tweaktown.com/image.php?image=imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/5/0/50603_1_samsung-galaxy-s7-lets-flag-scam-fraud-calls_full.jpg)

The collaboration between the two companies means you'll have virtually complete knowledge and control of who's calling you and who can call you with the S7. Caller ID will tell you the who, even if they're not in your contacts, as well as if the number has been reported as fraud or spam. Naturally, you can report numbers as fraud or spam yourself.

All of this functionality is already available via the Whitepages app, which can be used with any phone, but to have it integrated by default is breaking new ground.

€700/€800 in Europe, $699/$799 in the US
While we already seen all the details regarding Samsung's new Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge smartphones earlier, we now have all the price details including off-contract and those on most popular carriers, both in Europe and the US.

GSMArena.com manged to get all the prices sorted, including those for the US and its carriers (http://www.gsmarena.com/at_ampt_pricing_for_the_galaxy_s7_and_galaxy_s7_ed ge_is_out-news-16792.php) as well as a couple of main regions in Europe and carriers specific for those countries (http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s7_and_s7_edge_euro_pricing_off_and _on_contract-news-16802.php).
The Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge will be available on in the US as of March 11th and should cost US $699 and US $799 off contract.
Those looking to sign a contract will be looking at around US $23.17 a month for the 32GB version of the Galaxy S7 at AT&T on Next 24 plan and US $26.50 a month on the same 30-month Next 24 for the 32GB Galaxy S7 Edge.
T-Mobile will have the Galaxy S7 for US $27.91 a month for the 32GB model and $23.50 a month for the Galaxy S7 Edge on basic 24-month plan. Sprint is a bit cheaper with US $27.09 a month for the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge will go for US $31.25 a month.
In Europe, the situation is a bit different as the unlocked version will cost around €700 for the Galaxy S7 and €800 for the Galaxy S7 Edge. Bear in mind that Samsung gives a free Gear VR headset if you pre-order any of those smartphones directly for the Samsung website so that should be the first place to look.
T-Mobile Germany will offer the Galaxy S7 for €39.95 upfront and €62.95 per month, while the Galaxy S7 Edge will be available for €139.95 upfront and the same €62.95 per month.
In Spain, Italy and a couple of other European countries both the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge are a bit pricier and the premium is around €20 to €30.
In Switzerland, which still sticks to their strong CHF, the Galaxy S7 will sell for CHF 720 while the Galaxy S7 Edge goes for CHF 820.
Bear in mind that prices in Europe tend to drop after the launch so you might want to wait a bit for them to drop.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Top) and Galaxy S7 (Bottom)

To quickly reiterate, Samsung’s latest flagships are both packing a Qualcomm (http://hothardware.com/tags/qualcomm) 820 SoC (up to 2.1GHz) with Adreno 530 graphics, 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Both phones also have 12MP rear and 5MP front facing cameras (f/1.7), built-in fast wireless charging, microSD expansion slots, and Super AMOLED (http://hothardware.com/tags/amoled) displays with QHD (2560x1440) resolutions. Where the two phones differ is in regard to their screens and batteries. The Galaxy S7 has a 5.1” screen and a 3000mAh battery, whereas the Galaxy S7 Edge has a 5.5” screen and a 3600mAh battery. In addition to the return of the microSD card slot, water resistance is back with the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. The Galaxy S5 was dust and water resistant as well, but the standard Galaxy S6 was not.

The Samsung Gear 360 Camera In Action

If you’re familiar with the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, these new devices will look very familiar. They have all of the same design language, and feel similar in the hand. Though we didn’t get to spend an extended period of time with the devices, initial impression on build quality are excellent. Performance also seems top-notch, and the cameras seem to capture high-quality images and video—we’ll know for sure when we get to do an in-depth review.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Phones Aim to Offer “PC-Like Gaming Experience” – Vulkan API, Water-Cooling, Graphics Tweaking and More

Yesterday at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Samsung brought its “Galaxy Unpacked 2016 (http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/events/unpacked/)” event to a close after taking the wraps off the long-awaited Samsung Galaxy S7 and its curvy big brother, the Galaxy S7 Edge; two latest additions to its lineup of Android-powered flagship Galaxy smartphones. Among several other high-profile and pragmatic features that encourage you to open up your wallet, the new mobile devices boast advanced gaming and graphics performance for both your gaming and virtual reality needs, and sport some impressive gaming-specific features that, Samsung says (http://me.ign.com/en/tech/116036/news/this-is-the-samsung-galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge), are aimed to deliver “desktop PC” gaming experience.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-and-S7-Edge-1-635x348.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-and-S7-Edge-1.jpg)
Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge Boast Advanced Gaming and Graphics Performance – Come with Gaming-Specific Software Tools and Hardware Capabilities Making gaming experience on mobile devices feel as good as desktop gaming experience as possible is apparently is one of the goals that Samsung has set, but there is a difference between making statements about how mobile gaming is being taken seriously and actually implementing important and purposeful features that truly make a difference to user. The good news is that with the Galaxy S7 pair (https://news.samsung.com/global/video-power-and-design-reimagined-with-new-galaxy-s7-and-galaxy-s7-edge), Samsung is really pushing things forward in terms of offering a better gaming environment to players on mobile devices by integrating broad hardware and software tools that give more space and freedom to both gamers and developers.
Water-Cooled Processor We know that processor is one of the main pieces of hardware that video games and other graphically intense programs rely on the most. The new processors, paired with 4GB of RAM, in the Galaxy S7 duo are 30% more powerful and capable of offering high-end performance, but of course a new processor is not that big of a news. What is truly interesting is Samsung setting up an entire water cooling system – something that you would find in a robust desktop gaming system – to keep things cool. There are not much details on this remarkable new feature, but we are hoping to know more about it as the phones start rolling out.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 phones’ water cooling technology is reportedly (https://news.samsung.com/global/video-power-and-design-reimagined-with-new-galaxy-s7-and-galaxy-s7-edge) based on a very thin “thermal spreader” sealed inside the phones that uses water evaporation and condensation to avoid the phones from overheating and cool them down more effectively. This allows the CPU and GPU to work more efficiently and deliver enhanced performance. “Obviously the scale is miniature compared to desktop water cooling, but the sealed copper cooling system will still do its best to shift excess heat away from the S7’s processor when games push things to the phone’s thermal limits,” reports CNET (http://www.cnet.com/news/samsung-galaxy-s7-water-cooling-for-games-alerts-recording-battery-life/).
Read: Apple Claims New iPhones and iPad Pro Feature “Console-Class” GPU – Faster than Most Portable Devices Shipped in Last 12 Months (http://wccftech.com/apples-iphone-6s-ipad-pro-console-class-gpu/)
Vulkan API for Game Development The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge come with support for the new Vulkan API (https://news.samsung.com/global/video-power-and-design-reimagined-with-new-galaxy-s7-and-galaxy-s7-edge) for gaming that has been introduced to the platform officially with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The Vulkan API (http://wccftech.com/khronos-group-vulkan-api-release-imminent) is an open source low-overhead, cross platform 3D graphics and compute application programming interface that is actually built upon the components of AMD’s Mantle API, it is basically a framework aimed at multi-threading. It allows game developers to access and task all the individual cores of modern multicore processors that smartphones such as the S7 pair itself pack.

Tim Sweeny, founder and CEO of Epic Games, took the stage to reveal ProtoStar (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEwi09KC-ko3LAhUTBI4KHShnCEcQqQIIHjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.unrealengine.com%2Fblog%2Fep ic-games-unveils-protostar-at-samsung-galaxy-unpacked&usg=AFQjCNEl8Ql7upUeiWeonp5sxFcVnvYXXg&sig2=wpXZu4LtRKNhpN07qExzgA&cad=rja), a real-time 3D experience powered by both Vulkan API and Unreal Engine 4 that is designed to push mobile gaming towards offering high-end console-like graphics. The tech demo was, of course, presented on the Galaxy S7. “The new industry-standard Vulkan API brings key elements of high-end console graphics technology to mobile devices, and Samsung is leading the way with the amazing new Galaxy S7,” said Sweeney. “As the first engine supporting Vulkan, Unreal Engine 4 provides a solid foundation for developers joining in the mobile graphics revolution.”
Epic Games also provided a list of the effects used in ProtoStar. You can check out all the details (http://wccftech.com/ue4-powered-protostar-vulkan-api-push-mobile-graphics/) and videos showing the tech demo here. (http://wccftech.com/ue4-powered-protostar-vulkan-api-push-mobile-graphics/)
Tweak Graphics, Snap, Share and Do More with Game Launcher Changes made under the hood may not be noticeable to many, but no mobile gamer will want to miss out on the new Game Launcher and gaming-specific software tools that the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge have to offer. You can now chose to stay uninterrupted while playing games with a new “No Alerts” mode that stops all notifications from popping up as well as lock Recent and Back keys so that you don’t cut yourself out by accidentally pressing them during gameplay.

Additionally, Samsung is allowing players to easily create “Let’s Play” videos on mobile. In addition to being able to record the on-screen gameplay via game recorder, the Galaxy S7 allows players to use the front-facing camera to add voice to their gameplay videos with a picture-in-picture mode.
With the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, Samsung is also bringing PC-like graphics performance tweaking to mobile. Players can choose between more immersive and smooth gameplay or better battery life by switching between three performance settings that the technology giant has to offer. According to CNET (http://www.cnet.com/news/samsung-galaxy-s7-water-cooling-for-games-alerts-recording-battery-life/), “the standard setting will run games at maximum resolution and at 60 frames per second. The ‘low power’ setting reduces frame rate to 30 frames and dials down the resolution somewhat, while ‘extreme low power’ sticks with 30 frames but drops the resolution again.”
As mentioned before, all these features are part of game-specific tools by Samsung and can be launched from a new “Game Tools” icon that will rest at the edge of your new smartphone’s screen. Samsung is also pushing forward into the virtual reality world with its new flagship phones, which if pre-orderd come with a free Samsung Gear VR headset and a bundle of six games. The tech giant will also provide users with a Games Pack that offers $200 worth of free in-game currency for in-app purchases.
Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are set to hit the shelves on March 11. You can check out our detailed breakdown (http://wccftech.com/breakdown-samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-iphone-6s-iphone-6s-design-specs-features/) of the new phones against Apple’s latest iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus for more details.

Samsung Galaxy S7 pre-orders will come with GearVR (http://www.kitguru.net/channel/generaltech/matthew-wilson/samsung-galaxy-s7-pre-orders-will-come-with-gearvr/)


Samsung was the first smartphone company to jump into consumer VR with its GearVR headset and now it seems that the company is hoping to get its headset into more hands as it will now come bundled with pre-orders of the Galaxy S7, which was officially announced this week. The GearVR headset is made in partnership with Oculus and has been through a few iterations already for different devices.
The GearVR being bundled with the Galaxy S7 was announced by Oculus themselves, with Palmer Luckey saying that “This is a huge step for mainstream adoption of VR. This is going to multiply the VR user base by many times!”
http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/blog-image-3-e1456263790644.jpg (http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/blog-image-3-e1456263790644.jpg)
Luckey also went on to say: “As we bring more people to the Oculus ecosystem, developers become more successful, leading to more content for everyone!”
The GearVR bundle will also come with $50 worth of apps in total, including games like EVE: Gunjack, Land’s End, and Anshar Wars 2.

T-Mobile unboxes a Galaxy S7 underwater (http://www.tweaktown.com/news/50660/mobile-unboxes-galaxy-s7-underwater/index.html)



T-Mobile product expert Des takes a dip while showing you exactly what to expect out of the Samsung Galaxy S7 in the unboxing video below. That's one way to show off water resistance, right?


http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/5/0/50660_1_mobile-unboxes-galaxy-s7-underwater.jpg (http://www.tweaktown.com/image.php?image=imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/5/0/50660_1_mobile-unboxes-galaxy-s7-underwater_full.jpg)

Throughout the video, Des takes a call from his friend Darrel, snaps pictures, and streams TV, all the while indecipherably talking up the features (how about that 200GB microSD expandable storage?). A couple of things not mentioned in the video: The S7 includes caller ID (the traditional kind) and fraud and scam call flagging by default (http://www.tweaktown.com/news/50603/samsung-galaxy-s7-lets-flag-scam-fraud-calls/index.html), as well as a very respectable 3000mAh battery (http://www.tweaktown.com/news/50574/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-surprising-refinement-last-year/index.html).

(http://www.tweaktown.com/news/50660/mobile-unboxes-galaxy-s7-underwater/index.html)Samsung's Galaxy S7 has the best OLED display in a smartphone yet


Samsung unveiled its new Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge smartphones at Mobile World Congress earlier this week, with DisplayMate putting it under its equipment to test out just how good the new 5.1-inch QHD display really is.

http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/5/0/50666_04_samsungs-galaxy-s7-best-oled-display-smartphone.jpg

Well, DisplayMate walked away more than impressed. The company said that the Galaxy S7 features the best OLED display its ever seen, with subtle improvements in brightness and contrast over its predecessor. The AMOLED display on the Galaxy S7 is 24% brighter than the Galaxy S6 display, which is important for visibility in various conditions. Contrast has been improved, with the Galaxy S7 falling closer to the larger Galaxy Note 5 - but offers higher pixel density than its larger sibling.

Samsung introduced Personalized automatic brightness with the Galaxy S7, a new feature which remembers the brightness settings you've chosen through ambient light levels. This results in the Galaxy S7 adjusting its brightness to your specific personal preferences, something else DisplayMate liked to see.

Samsung wants to sell 17 million Galaxy S7s



http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/73229f3176e38a40b069d6d4168b17ea_L.jpg (http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/73229f3176e38a40b069d6d4168b17ea_XL.jpg)

More than S6 and S4

Samsung will mass-produce 17 million Galaxy S7 series during first quarter – more than the sales volume of Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S4.

According to the Electronic Times (http://english.etnews.com/20160226200002), it would appear that Samsung believes that the Galaxy S7 will have higher sales volume than Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S4.
More than 5 million Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edges will be produced. In March there will be 7.7 million produced, and April 4.5 million. Output increases between February and March and slightly decreases in April because demand is usually focused during the early phase of new products’ release
Counter Point Research and Hana Financial Investment reported that the first quarter sales volume for Galaxy S6 was 15.80 million while first quarter sales volume for the S4 was 15.20 million. The Galaxy S6 that was released in 2015 and Galaxy S4 that was release in 2013 were Samsung’s most successful models.
It is not clear why Samsung thinks its phone will be so successful. It can only be that the initial response of Galaxy S7 was positive. Samsung itself is not revealing too much information regarding sales goal, performance, and strategies.
Samsung told a conference in Barcelona that all of its customers and partners are expecting a lot from Galaxy S7. The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge are going to be produced in a 6:4 ratio.
Samsung Electronics had suffered disruption to sales of Galaxy S6 Edge due to lack of dual edge displays last year and has decided to supplement this problem by strengthening supply and demand of its products.
Only Samsung Display mass produces and supplies dual edge displays.

http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/d2bdcc4ef5b2e4e9dc6cf0630a91a689_L.jpg (http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/d2bdcc4ef5b2e4e9dc6cf0630a91a689_XL.jpg)

At least in South Korea and China

Samsung going to kill its ‘Samsung’ logo on the front side of Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge at least in South Korea and China.

The cunning plan to get rid of the Samsung Logo was first tried in Japan last year. The idea is to strengthen its Galaxy brand and to build smartphone businesses that correspond to consumers’ characteristics in specific countries.
There will be a logo on top of product’s front side for western countries such as the US, England, Spain and others, but Samsung Electronics got rid of its logo on front side of products in South Korea, Japan, and China and leave the logo only on the back.
Samsung has been using the same strategy for its wearable and inexpensive products such as Galaxy A8, Galaxy Active Neo, Gear S2 and others. It appears to have worked its last year first quarter shares which were 5.2 per cent before Samsung Electronics killed the logo and shot up to 12.0 per cent in second quarter after its products were released in April. This happened while overall markets decreased from 6.97 million phones to 6.08 million phones.
Apparently the logo is seen as messing up the design, although Asian dislike of South Korean products might also have something to do with it.
Apple also does not put its logo on the front side of its products has received positive responses was also reflected in Samsung Electronics’ new strategy. After design of Japanese models was introduced last year, there were opinions that same design should be applied to models that are released in South Korea also.

(http://www.fudzilla.com/news/mobile/40070-samsung-deletes-its-logo-from-galaxy-s7-and-galaxy-s7-edge)Heat-pipes in smartphones could be the next big thing

http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/0e3031893bd89ea473fae523e673a75b_L.jpg (http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/0e3031893bd89ea473fae523e673a75b_XL.jpg)

Ye can hear the sound of the pipes a calling

When Samsung adopted heat-pipes for its Galaxy S7-series, it might have kicked off a new trend in the smartphone industry.

Certainly heat-pipe makers were rubbing their paws in expectation – after all where Samsung goes, Apple is sure to follow right?
However Digitimes (http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20160226PD203.html)has asked around and found that makers have not added moulds specifically for producing smartphone-use heat-pipes signalling demand has not yet grown to a sufficient level.
Samsung has launched variant models of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. One adopts Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 AP and only sells in North America. The other version uses Samsung's 14nm Exynos 8890 AP and is selling to other markets. The model with Qualcomm's solution uses heat-pipes.
Heat-pipes have already become prevalent in PC products has not been seen much in mobile as most smartphone vendors still prefer graphite for cooling along with help from metal chassis or software.
Smartphone heat-pipes require customised designs, while smartphones have a rather short life-cycle, most heat-pipe makers are conservative about investing in new moulds.

Galaxy S7 commercial is hilariously clever, features William H. Macy


Whereas Microsoft's new ads go for the gut punch to a rival, Samsung is going for humor with its Galaxy S7 ads while highlighting the strengths of the device. (And it succeeds wildly, I might add.)

<iframe width="781" height="469" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RfCubGgMkms" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The best by far is the "Why?" ad, which features celebrities William H. Macy (or does it?), Wesley Snipes (who makes an amusing quip at his own lack of versatility), Weezy himself, and a couple "celebrity sports persons" (if it's not hockey, I can't help you), among others. The ad doesn't rely on star power alone, though: clever jokes pop up left and right, like in one scene where a man is wandering in the woods at night and his battery dies. "Eh, probably fine, though," he says, before lightning flashes and a masked murderer appears behind him.

The "Water" ad has its moments, too, whereas the "Dark" ad is pretty typical as far as ads go and can be safely skipped.

Two Videos Show Galaxy S7 And Its Durability; Can It Survive These Extreme Tests?

It is not every day that you see Samsung’s Galaxy S7 being put through a gauntlet of torture tests and while its impressive hardware and marginally improved software are a welcome feature, will it stand by your side and retain its physical perfection against extreme durability tests. Let us find out right now.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Galaxy-S7-635x321.png
Galaxy S7 Gets Put Through Not One, But Two Torture Tests, Check Out The Videos Right Here Now, we are not going to spoil any surprises for you, but let us give you a breakdown of the hardware specifications of the newly announced smartphones, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge. Right off the bat, Samsung has incorporated a 3,000mAh battery in its Galaxy S7 model and 3,600mAh Galaxy S7 edge, and they feature a 5.1 and 5.5 inch QHD display respectively. In addition to this, Samsung has brought back one very important feature lacking in its previous generation flagship family, the MicroSD card slot.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Galaxy-S7-2-1-635x510.jpg
In addition to the UFS 2.0 standard flash memory present inside it, consumers looking to snag themselves a Galaxy S7 can also upgrade their existing storage. The flagship smartphones sport both Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-with-snapdragon-820-benchmarks/) and Samsung’s own developed Exynos 8890 SoC (http://wccftech.com/exynos-8890-detailed-infograph/) (separate chipset models). It is expected that we will be witnessing dual-SIM variants of the devices, bringing even more flexibility to the table.

While Samsung has received significant amount of praise for its mobile hardware, it has been bombarded with the exact same opposite responses when it comes to its software. It was even reported that Google is intending on lending a helping hand to Samsung (http://wccftech.com/google-reported-aiding-samsung-refining-touchwiz-interface/) in order to further refine the interface, because it would be a huge blow to the tech giant if it loses out on the most popular Android smartphone manufacturer in the world right now.




<iframe width="635" height="388" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aD3rexCtL-A" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


Additionally, both handsets pack a 12.3MP rear camera sensor with a wide aperture of F/1.7. This goes beyond the capabilities of Galaxy Note 5, which feature an aperture of F/1.9, showcasing that Galaxy S7 will perform very well in low-light conditions. Despite the fact that the number of megapixels have been decreased, it will actually be advantageous in low-light environments because more light per pixel will effortlessly be able to enter the sensor, resulting in an accurate and pleasing image, even in locations where there are limited sources of light.

As for the videos, you be the judge? Did you think that these tests went a bit too extreme? Let us know your thoughts right away.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Teardown Shows Critical Internal Upgrades And Components

With the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-official-images-colors-promo-video/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-specifications-features-price/), we saw a couple of key features updated on the devices. An all new camera sensor, coupled with minimal design changes and the Snapdragon 820 on board, the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge should prove to be an attractive offering for a lot of users out there. Both the devices have finally started to trickle out and folks over at Chipworks have, as usual, done the first device teardown.
We get to see some nice improvements under the hood, coupled with the much awaited look at the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/qualcomm-snapdragon-820-specifications-features/) and the new Dual Pixel sensor that Samsung’s introduced. So take a look below to find out more.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/07-Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Teardown-Camera-Module-635x285.jpg
Initial Samsung Galaxy S7 Teardown Provides Look At Key Components & Features Perhaps the most important upgrade on this year’s Korean flagship smartphone launches has been the camera upgrades introduced by Samsung. The Galaxy S lineup has traditionally seen a methodical increase in specifications on paper, but this time round with the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge, Samsung finally seems to be taking a more focused approach on its devices.
The rear camera is one such feature that’s seen some detailed thought this time around, with the Galaxy S7’s rear camera being one of the best in the market out there, according to specifications and features. You can take a look at the camera sensor above, and it looks to have been manufactured by Sony, at least according to the company’s logo on a flex cable.
The Galaxy S7’s rear camera comes with Dual Pixel Autofocus on board, which is expected to improve things, specially in low light scenarios. Samsung’s also increased the pixel size this time around, and the Dual Pixel system on board the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/two-videos-show-galaxy-s7-and-its-durability-can-it-survive-these-extreme-tests/) uses all of its pixels for autofocus. This, combined with the increased pixel size mentioned earlier will improve both detail and overall composition of images quite significantly; we hope.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/17-Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Teardown-Sensor-Design-Wins-Snapdragon-Hynix-H9H-635x212.jpg
We also get to take a much awaited look at the Snapdragon 820 in the flesh (or in the silicon). You don’t get to take a direct look at Qualcomm’s offering on first glance, as folks over at Chipworks are keen to tell us. What you can take a look at on the Galaxy S7 Edge’s motherboard is Hynix’s 4 GB LPDDR4 SDRAM. Under the RAM is the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-dominates-benchmarks/), in a standard package-on-package implementation.
When we talk about minute changes coming on the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge, these are exactly the type of features we mean. Courtesy of watercooling making it on board the device, the resulting temperature spikes should be dealt with quite efficiently. The Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-pc-like-gaming-vulkan-watercooling/) uses a bare minimum thermal spreader which works similarly to how you’d expect on a desktop PC. Its a nice introduction to the smartphone world, and Samsung gets top points for creativity.
Advertisements

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Galaxy-S7-Water-Cooling-635x318-635x318.png
Remove the memory from the top and you finally get to take a much awaited look at the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-benchmark-scores/); a processor that’s expected to reverse Qualcomm’s ill fortunes in the flagship mobile processor market. 2015 saw the US manufacturer face some infamous throttling issues on the Snapdragon 810 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-exynos-atom-a8-benchmarks/), leading to several manufacturers, including Samsung to skip the processor on their top tier mobile smartphones.
With the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-benchmarks/), we see the company introduce its custom Kryo cores in two clusters, with each cluster coming with 2 cores. These clusters are clocked at 1.6 and 2.2 GHz. Other details about the processor aren’t known right now, but an interesting fact which Chipworks has discovered is that the space between the top and the bottom packages sees larger solder bumps.
Given the PoP design, its likely that Samsung’s done this to manage heat more efficiently, as such an issue particularly on the Snapdragon 820 won’t do well for either the Korean manufacturing giant or Qualcomm.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/17-Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Teardown-Sensor-Design-Wins-635x298.jpg
That marks our end of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/breakdown-samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-iphone-6s-iphone-6s-design-specs-features/)‘s teardown. As the device(s) slowly start to roll out, more interesting features and details will surely surface as well. We’re impressed by the amount of detail that is present in this year’s Galaxy S launch, and Samsung’s approach is starting to refine much more in terms of a holistic approach.
Thoughts? Let us know what you think in the comments section below and stay tuned for the latest.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Reportedly Employs Moisture Detection And Warning System To Ensure Safe Charging



The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge (http://hothardware.com/news/samsung-unpacked-2016-galaxy-s7) don’t officially launch for a few more days, but some carriers appear to have shipped pre-orders early and some phones are already in consumers’ hands. A few commenters on our hands on video (http://hothardware.com/news/hands-on-samsung-galaxy-s7-galaxy-s7-edge-and-gear-360-vr-with-submersion-test) mentioned receiving their phones early, and we are aware of a number of industry contacts that have already gotten their devices as well.




One early Galaxy S7 Edge owner, who reported his findings in this thread over at the XDA Developers forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/moisture-detected-t3328011), appears to have tested his phones’ water-resistance already and uncovered another new feature in the process.


image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36735/content/small_galaxy-s7-edge.jpg (http://hothardware.com/gallery/NewsItem/36735?image=big_galaxy-s7-edge.jpg&tag=popup)
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36735/content/small_galaxy-s7-edge.jpg
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge





The user submerged his Galaxy S7 Edge in water and snapped a photo, then about four hours later plugged the phone into its fast charger and a warning popped-up on screen that stated, “Moisture detected in charging port”, and the phone wouldn’t charge. The user dried the phone and let it sit for a while, and it eventually started to charge again, but it wouldn’t quick charge any longer. Frustrated that the quick charging stopped working, the user RMA’d the phone and plans to send it back to T-Mobile.




Before anyone asks why someone would submerge a brand new smartphone in water, keep in mind that the Galaxy (http://hothardware.com/tags/galaxy) S7 Edge is IP68 rated, which means it is sealed against dust and can handle continuous submersion in up to 1 meter of water. With that in mind, the water detection feature that’s apparently built into the Galaxy S7 is a good idea. Though the devices are IP68 rated, a few drops of water in the charging port could easily cause a short when the phone’s plugged in. It’s disconcerting, however, that fast charging appeared to stop working – at least in this case, according to this user.




Whether or not the phone would have started fast charging again is unclear at this point. We’ll keep an eye on that thread for additional comments by its creator, and have reached out to Samsung (http://hothardware.com/tags/samsung) for clarification.




If you’d like to see out hands-on video of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, with a submersion test, we’ve embedded it below...

Download All Official Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge Wallpapers

You can now download all official Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge wallpapers (2K QHD) for any device you may have.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Galaxy-S7-Wallpapers-635x370.png
All Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge Wallpapers Can Be Downloaded Right Away The Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-specifications-features-price/) are mighty devices when you compare them directly to last year’s releases, Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, respectively. Rather than releasing revamped devices, Samsung decided to play it safe and go ahead with evolutionary upgrades, adding new features, improving existing ones, while also bringing back certain things that were removed last year, such as waterproofing and expandable storage option.
It’s not just the hardware that sees miracle additions. The software is also getting a slight bump in specs, with clean icons, menus and clean aesthetics being the order of the day, ensuring that things look as pristine as possible when you first take the smartphone out of its box. And like any other flagship Galaxy smartphone, the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge come packed with a slick set of wallpapers that make that amazing Super AMOLED display pop.
But now, you can download all those amazing wallpapers for any device you might have in your possession, and get that ultimate Galaxy S7-like look given that you are not planning to part with your cash and buy the new devices from Samsung in the first place.
Advertisements

The wallpapers are in 2560×2560 in resolution, hence they’ll fit any Quad HD (2K) display perfectly. But if you happen to be rocking a 4K panel, then you’ll notice that things will start to blur out a little bit, hence we recommend that you refrain yourself from tossing in one of these wallpapers on a UHD display. Rest is your call though.
There are two routes you can take to download the wallpapers. The first one is plan and simple; click on this link (https://mega.nz/#%21A1Ij2RaK%216Jie8D2TkCL6jK9UCk-weDk5SYLQwgs64FMqSWvFa20) and download everything in one fell swoop. Or click on the wallpapers one by one below to download the ones that you like. We highly recommend that you opt for the zip file route though, as you will get everything for safekeeping for later use.

Galaxy S7 Vs Canon 70D: Which Camera Sensor Performs Better?

Ever wondered how a flagship smartphone would fare against a weapon of choice for photographers, DSLRs? Well, there have been several comparisons, and on this occasion, Galaxy S7 is pitted against the ‘more than capable’ Canon 70D. Which camera sensor takes the crown? Let us find out.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/GalaxyS7_spec-635x584.jpg
Galaxy S7 Takes On Canon 70D – Check Out These Two Videos To See Which Gadget Comes Out On Top We are not going to spoil anything for you, but we will tell you that the level of competition is definitely strong between Galaxy S7 and Canon 70D. Samsung might have reduced the overall megapixel count on its current flagship smartphone to 12.3MP sensor, but let us tell you why that is a good thing, particularly when you commence your image capturing spree in areas where there is severely low levels of light.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Z_Canon70D_SideAngle2-635x505.jpg
The more megapixels on a sensor, the less amount of light will be able to enter per pixel. Majority of consumers still believe that smartphone cameras and cameras in general are judged base on the number of megapixels and while that is true to a certain extent, you cannot completely justify a camera purchase or a smartphone for that matter just by the number of megapixels present. Images might look sharper in the final result, but they end up looking horribly in low-light conditions and the LED flash honestly does little to improve the situation.
You should also keep in mind that each smartphone camera sensor will perform differently as compared to the other device. Some handsets might produce warmer colors and others will not. Some might create an image that is more pleasing to the eyes, but that is not going to be more accurate, since more accurate images tend to sport less levels of attraction (a perfect example would be the level of filters that you get in Instagram to make the final result far more pleasing to the eye).

<iframe width="635" height="388" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y4C_msQ8yZU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>





With Galaxy S7, it is not just about performing well in low light, but the lens’ fixed aperture of F/1.7 will allow even more light to enter and will also separate the focused object from the background, which is commonly known in image terms as DOF, or Depth of Field. For now, take a look at the comparison between Samsung’s flagship smartphone and an impressive designed and performing product of Canon, 70D.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Vs iPhone 6s Plus; Benchmark Breakdown Shows Unimpressive Performance

With the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/breakdown-samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-iphone-6s-iphone-6s-design-specs-features/) and the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-specifications-features-price/), users and enthusiasts all around were wondering how would the device stack up against Apple’s offering at the other end of the mobile spectrum. Both the devices come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-dominates-benchmarks/) and the Adreno 530 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-benchmarks/); chips which are expected to set the pace for 2016 in their respective specifications and performance.
Today, we’ve managed to get our hands on a benchmark comparison of the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-pc-like-gaming-vulkan-watercooling/) and the iPhone 6s Plus courtesy of Youtube user Austin Evans, so head over below to find out more.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Galaxy-s7-vs-iphone-6s-plus-635x350.png
The Apple iPhone 6s Plus Leads The Galaxy S7 Edge In Graphics Scores When it comes to mobile performance, both Apple and Samsung have been at the top of things for quite a while, despite their vastly different approaches. Samsung in particular has managed to shift things in high gear since the launch of the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge last year. This year things are back to normal in terms of processor for the Samsung flagship, as we see Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/qualcomm-snapdragon-820-specifications-features/) and Adreno 530 return to the lineup.
So how well does the Snapdragon 820 stack up against the iPhone 6s Plus’ Apple A9 (http://wccftech.com/benchmark-results-show-a9-dominates-exynos-8890-snapdragon-820/)? Things appear to be quite balanced out overall, but the iPhone 6s Plus (http://wccftech.com/iphone-6s-galaxy-note-5-benchmark-scores-comparison-handset-takes-crown/) still manages to do surprisingly well, even though it was launched nearly 6 months before the S7 Edge. Taking a look at GeekBench scores, we see the A9 take an expected lead in single core scores, with a score of 2532 points.
In multi core results we see the Snapdragon with its Kryo cores take a good lead on the Apple A9. The 820 scores 5449 points, which should be no surprise given the processor’s improved architecture and component integration; something which Qualcomm has been quite eager to remind everyone in the past.
Advertisements

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/galaxy-s7-edge-vs-iphone-6s-plus-manhattan-635x346.png
Moving over to gaming and graphics performance, we see Apple’s oft criticized decision of bare minimum display resolutions come into play. The iPhone 6s Plus (http://wccftech.com/exclusive-iphone-6s-plus-benchmarks-show-impressive-performance-despite-larger-resolution/) out does the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-teardown/) over here, with an onscreen Manhattan score of 38 Fps, a solid 9 point lead over the S7. Like we mentioned above, given that the iPhone was launched quite sometime before the S7 Edge, its consistent performance is quite impressive.
But take the screen out of the equation in tests and you’ll see the Galaxy S7 Edge make a much expected comeback. Running 1080p Manhattan Offscreen tests on the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-vs-canon-70d/) gives us a score of 47 fps compared to a 40 fps score for the iPhone 6s Plus. So don’t completely take the Adreno 530 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-official-folks/) and Qualcomm out of the equation, but nevertheless, goes to show that higher display resolutions might not always translate into the best of performance.
To conclude, both the Galaxy S7 Edge and the iPhone 6s Plus stand pretty head to head in terms of overall performances, with both the devices dominating in their respective strengths. But given that the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/iphone-6s-plus-annihilates-galaxy-s7-in-latest-benchmarking-run-what-is-samsung-doing-wrong/) is the newer device of the two, we’d expect it to do much better than today’s scores tell us. Benchmarks’ aren’t a definitive indicator of a smartphone’s quality, with things boiling down to preference in the end. Thoughts? Let us know what you think in the comments section below and stay tuned for the latest.

Importing a Samsung Galaxy S7 gets you a faster phone (http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/jon-martindale/importing-a-samsung-galaxy-s7-gets-you-a-faster-phone/)


Where you buy your smartphone from doesn’t usually matter, but when it comes to the Samsung Galaxy S7, it does. That’s because the UK’s version will come fitted with an Exynos 8890 processor, while U.S. buyers will have the same handset fitted with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820. While that wouldn’t matter if they performed the same, the Qualcomm chip actually takes a noticeable lead in most benchmarks.
http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/380x420xgalaxys7.jpg.pagespeed.ic.TkvxdFATIJ.jpg (http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/galaxys7.jpg)
There isn’t a huge difference between the two chips in terms of design – they both use the same 14nm process – but it is there and shows that buying the S7 in the UK is not the best place to do it. If you’re going to and care about having your device be as cutting edge as possible – which when you’re spending upwards of £500 on a phone, you want it to be – figuring out an import might make more sense.
http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/650x322xantutu01.jpg.pagespeed.ic.Y28VUbXMGk.jpg (http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/antutu01.jpg)
Source: Antutu (http://www.antutu.com/en/view.shtml?id=8200)
As the Antutu (http://www.antutu.com/en/view.shtml?id=8200) benchmark results show, the Exynos 8890 equipped version of the Galaxy S7, is slower than Apple’s A9 chip, by a few thousand points in the CPU test. However, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 is faster than the Apple chip, which is a big selling point for Samsung, as a major competitor for Apple in terms of smartphone sales.
http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/650x322xantutu02.jpg.pagespeed.ic.gNcwZyelND.jpg (http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/antutu02.jpg)
Source: Antutu (http://www.antutu.com/en/view.shtml?id=8200)
Far more important though are the GPU performance results, which show not just a small increase in performance between the Exynos and Qualcomm chips, but a near 50 per cent increase in power. If you’re a smartphone gamer who likes impressive visuals, that is an enormous difference and suggests buying an S7 in the UK – if you are part of that audience – would be a poor choice.
This isn’t the first time that Samsung has dabbled in mixing processors depending on the region. Indeed it was more uncommon when it didn’t, but that hardly makes this an easier pill to swallow.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 & S7 Edge Review, Part 1 (http://www.anandtech.com/show/10120/the-samsung-galaxy-s7-review)

http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10120/Carousel_678x452.jpg

For some time now, Samsung has been the dominant player in the Android space, especially at the high end of the market. From the Galaxy S2 onwards, Samsung has been able to ride the wave of the smartphone industry’s growth without much disruption. Samsung has also shown a pretty impressive ability to adapt to changes in the market as seen by their dramatic departure in materials from the Galaxy S5 generation to the Galaxy S6 generation. While the Galaxy S6 was ultimately one of the best phones you could get that year, at least a few design decisions like the loss of removable battery and microSD slot were generally considered to be a step back relative to previous devices.
Throughout their reign of dominance Samsung has always been able to stay on top, however their competition is never too far behind. To that end, it’s probably obvious now that the Galaxy S7 family represents an attempt to improve on the Galaxy S6’s perceived faults, while building upon its perceived strengths. In order to start discussing these changes, we can start by looking at the basic specs and design of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge.

One of the other major changes in terms of design this time around is electing to go with a significantly larger battery than before. Compared to most other aspects of smartphone technology, battery technology is a more mature field and improves as a slower pace, so the tradeoffs made here result in a thicker device and increased weight relative to the Galaxy S6. However, as we’ll soon see Samsung has made a number of changes in the industrial design which help to mitigate these issues.
Meanwhile, with the Galaxy S7 generation, Samsung has further blurred the line between the Galaxy S lineup and the Galaxy note. The Galaxy S7 edge is a 5.5-inch device - fully into the phablet territory - and only 0.2 inches smaller than the 5.7" Galaxy Note5. This means that the two Galaxy S7 phones are now more significantly differentiated than with the Galaxy S6 generation, where the difference amounted to the dual-edge display and a slightly larger battery. Now the Galaxy S7 edge is larger, ever so slightly heavier, and contains a battery with 20% more capacity than it's base Galaxy S7 brethren.
The final change of note in the Galaxy S7/S7 edge is the camera. With the Galaxy S6 review it was hard to avoid wondering why Samsung didn’t bother to integrate a camera with larger pixel size to improve low light performance, especially when camera was such a significant part of the Galaxy S6 design story with the noticeable camera hump. For the Galaxy S7, Samsung has gone ahead and done just this: the pixel size is now 1.4 micron which should significantly increase the number of situations where the image quality is limited by shot noise rather than image sensor noise. And to top things off the camera hump has now been almost entirely eliminated.
On a quick housekeeping note before we dive in, as we've had less than a week to look at the Galaxy S7, we're dividing up our review into two parts. Today we'll focus on the basics: performance, battery life, design, and the display. Part 2 will go deeper, looking into the Snapdragon 820 SoC in fuller detail, and coupling that with Wi-Fi performance, camera performance, and more.
Design Now that we’ve gone over the high level changes of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, we can start talking about the design of the device. While the Galaxy S6 was an enormous departure from what we were used to seeing from Samsung, the Galaxy S7 is really more an evolution of the Galaxy S6 design. As previously mentioned, it is noticeably thicker and heavier than the Galaxy S6. However, to offset this increase in thickness Samsung has integrated the curved 3D glass of the Galaxy Note5 into the design of the Galaxy S7.

http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10120/DSC_4468b_575px.jpg (http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10120/DSC_4468b.jpg) The result of this change is that the Galaxy S7 arguably feels much better in the hand than the Galaxy S6. While I didn’t really have huge issues with the ergonomics of the Galaxy S6, it definitely felt a bit blocky relative to something like the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro and didn’t quite fit in the hand as nicely. The weight increase is noticeable, but not really the end of the world.

http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10120/DSC_4475_575px.jpg (http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10120/DSC_4475.jpg) The thickness does result in a noticeably reduced camera hump, but on a personal level I never really cared about the camera hump in the Galaxy S6, so I’m not sure I care about the reduction in the camera hump here. I would actually argue that a camera hump is preferable to a camera cover lens that is perfectly coplanar to the back of the phone, as it means that the camera lens isn’t contacting whatever surface I’ve set it down on. While sapphire cover lenses go a very long way to eliminating the potential for scratching a cover lens, there’s also the potential for oil to smear on the camera’s cover lens so I would actually prefer having a camera hump.

http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10120/DSC_4472_575px.jpg (http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10120/DSC_4472.jpg) The other noticeable change here is the re-introduction of 2.5D curved glass on the edges of the display. I’m not quite sure why Samsung tends to remove and re-introduce this design element seemingly on and off, but it does help with improving the feel of edge swipes at the cost of complicating some things like screen protectors and glass lens durability. Honestly speaking, I’m not sure how much of a difference it makes either way, but it does remove another edge present in the design.

http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10120/DSC_4465b_575px.jpg (http://images.anandtech.com/doci/10120/DSC_4465b.jpg) Other than these changes, the design is almost unchanged. The power button remains on the right side of the device and is well-positioned ergonomically. The volume buttons are pretty much in the same place on the left side as well. The 3.5mm jack, micro-USB port, and single speaker are all on the bottom of the device. The only notable deletion in terms of design elements here would be the loss of the IR port on top of the device, which was presumably removed because relatively few users took advantage of the feature.

Latest Teardown Scores Samsung’s Lucky S7 a “Meh” in the Repairability Scale



TL;DR – try not to damage your Galaxy S7 or you’ll be in for some massive expenses.
Samsung’s latest Galaxy S7 has scored 3/10 in the repairability scale, continuing the trend of Samsung smartphones being difficult to fix. The worst thing? It would be “probably impossible” to replace a damaged display.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/eVwVQojWEP5whU62.medium.jpeg
Galaxy S7 teardown highlights – or lowlights?

The folks at iFixit (https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+S7+Teardown/56686?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Samsung%20Galaxy%20S7%20Teardown&utm_content=Samsung%20Galaxy%20S7%20Teardown+CID_d 7cb588a63e9a3c18bcfc35f3f82923b&utm_source=CampaignMonitor&utm_term=Samsung%20Galaxy%20S7%20teardown) have shared Samsung Galaxy S7 teardown, revealing that the glue still lives happily inside the flagship smartphone of Samsung. With glass-on-glue construction and no exterior screws, the only thing holding the smartphone together is glue – making it extremely difficult to get into the device and then replace a component without damaging others.
It’s not all bad and gloomy though, as there are some modular components that can be replaced independently. Antenna, speaker and wireless charging coil are all modular and connected to the “motherboard by way of tiny spring contacts, making removal and replacement a snap.” BUT, even to get to these easy-to-replace components (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-teardown/), you will have to go past the thick adhesive and glass securing the smartphone. The other important component, battery, also seems difficult to be removed, adhered in place with glue, making the demolishers believe that “it wasn’t intended to be repaired or replaced.” Meh times 2?
Coming to another modular component, the headphone jack, Galaxy S7 teardown confirms the IP68 water resistance as the jack is secured by a rubber seal. These seals were also found securing the microphone and speaker. While Samsung may have employed “Sport standard” water resistance in its latest handset, repair-and-replace wasn’t considered when fitting the microphone or the USB port.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/galaxy-s7-ifixit-display-635x476.jpg
According to the teardown, the cables of Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-manhattan-scores/)‘s soft buttons are wrapped around the display’s back frame, making replacement of the charging port, digitizer, USB port, microphone, soft button LEDs, and the display itself “next to impossible.” Replacing one faulty component can potentially lead to damaging and thus replacing the display too. When you need to replace the cracked glass, again, you will possibly destroy the display in the process too.
iFixit also talks about the liquid cooling system employed in the S7, which is a tiny heat pipe less than half a millimeter thick. The pipe “transfers heat to the phone’s metal midframe, where it can then radiate out to the side—or directly into your hands,” reveals iFixit.
The brand new Samsung Galaxy S7 managed to receive a 3 out of 10 on the repairability scale, where 10 is easiest to repair. For those of you wondering, this is worse than Samsung Galaxy S6’s score of 4/10 (http://wccftech.com/ifixit-samsung-galaxy-s6-teardown/) confirming the phone maker’s lack of focus on producing repairable devices.

(http://wccftech.com/ifixit-samsung-galaxy-s7-teardown-reveals-tough-repairing/#ixzz42OTWm81d)Samsung Galaxy S7 teardown reveals underwhelming small heatpipe cooler




http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2016/03/2016-03-08-image-17.jpg

Samsung hasn't shied away from talking up the heatpipe cooling technology (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6KeASdz2AI&feature=youtu.be&t=25m42s) in its new Galaxy S7 series (http://www.techspot.com/products/smartphones/) smartphones. We've more or less been led to believe that this heatpipe cooling system was an integral part of the device and while it does exist and it does do what it is designed to do, it's rather underwhelming in the flesh.
The teardown team at iFixit recently got their hands on a Galaxy S7 and have published their findings (https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+S7+Teardown/56686) for all to see.
Aside from the heatpipe (which we will get to shortly), the major takeaways here include the fact that many components are modular and can be replaced independently and that the battery can be removed without first having to take out the motherboard. Unfortunately, the display needs to be removed (and likely destroyed) to replace the USB port while front and back glass make for double the crackability. What's more, replacing the glass without destroying the display is probably impossible.
http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2016/03/2016-03-08-image-18.jpg
As it turns out, the heatpipe we've heard so much about is far less dramatic than one might think. iFixit described it as "teeny" which seems fitting when you consider it measures less than half a millimeter thick and is composed of less than half a gram of material. Nevertheless, it does appear to be functional, helping to transfer heat from the device's various chips (including the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820) to the phone's midframe.
http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2016/03/2016-03-08-image-19.jpg
All things considered, iFixit awarded the Samsung Galaxy S7 a repairability score of three out of 10 (the higher the number, the easier it is to repair).

(http://www.techspot.com/news/64036-samsung-galaxy-s7-teardown-reveals-underwhelming-small-heatpipe.html)AT&T Offers Tempting Buy One Get One Deal For Samsung Galaxy S7 Or S7 Edge


Wireless carriers are tripping over themselves trying to lure customers with special offers and promotions, but AT&T's (http://hothardware.com/tags/att) newest deal might be the one to beat. Ma Bell's pitch is simple—purchase either of Samsung's (http://hothardware.com/tags/samsungs) fancy new Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge (http://hothardware.com/news/samsung-unpacked-2016-galaxy-s7) handsets and get a free Galaxy S7 when adding a second line and buying both through AT&T's Next program.

That's a pretty sweet deal considering how expensive smartphones are these days, Samsung's new flagship Galaxy handsets included. The way this new promotion works is the first phone must be a new line or an upgrade. As for the second phone, it must be a new line and purchased on AT&T Next 24. Add both phones to a qualified plan and after three billing cycles, you'll start to receive a credit of up to $695, which is spread out over 30 monthly bill credits.

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36765/content/Samsung_Galaxy_S7_Edge.jpg


Those monthly credits completely offset the cost of the second Galaxy S7 handset (sans sales tax), or you can apply them towards a second Galaxy S7 Edge, which runs $794.99 ($26.50 per month through AT&T Next). If opting for a Galaxy S7 Edge as the second handset, AT&T's deal brings the cost down to $100, plus tax.

This deal is in addition to the up to $650 in bill credit AT&T is offering customers to switch from other wireless carriers.

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36765/content/Galaxy_S7_Edge.jpg



"There’s never been a better time to switch to AT&T," said Glenn Lurie, president and CEO, AT&T Mobility. "You can get this buy-one, get-one offer and also get up to $650 in credits per line to help you switch to AT&T when you trade in your current smartphones and buy new ones on AT&T Next. Plus, you can get unlimited data if you have DirecTV or Uverse2. These deals are incredible."

The Galaxy S7 sports a 5.1-inch flat Quad HD Super AMOLED display while the Galaxy S7 Edge wields a larger 5.5-inch dual edge Quad HD Super AMOLED panel. Both are powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 820 processor and 4GB of RAM. Other features include 32GB of internal storage expandable via microSD, 5MP front camera, 12MP rear camera, wireless charging support, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2 LE, NFC support, water and dust resistance, 3,000 mAh (Galaxy S7) / 3,600 mAh (Galaxy S7 Edge) battery, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Samsung details image sensor tech in the Galaxy S7, S7 Edge

Today Samsung has detailed (https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-elevates-mobile-phone-picture-quality-with-dual-pixel-technology-in-its-newest-image-sensor) the technology behind the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge's main cameras. We already knew that the latest main camera units in the S7 models were powered by dual pixel sensors, sported larger pixels, and were paired with an even wider aperture lens than ever before. This and other aspects of the S7 cameras were talked about at the Galaxy S7/S7 Edge smartphone launch (http://hexus.net/ce/news/mobile-phones/90701-samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-water-resistant-add-microsd/) event last month. Now Samsung has gone into more technical detail about the advanced semiconductor technology it has used.
Dual pixel sensors were previously reserved for DSLR cameras, says Samsung. This kind of sensor, and thus the one in the S7, uses two photodiodes located on the left and right halves of each pixel. The result is "significantly faster auto-focus" as each and every pixel of the Dual Pixel image sensor is capable of detecting phase differences of perceived light (sometimes referred to as phase detection auto-focus or PDAF). The positive results are even more apparent in dimly lit scenes and/or with moving objects says Samsung.
http://hexus.net/media/uploaded/2016/3/4bff3b0c-5a52-4c29-a28b-cebc679c42ab.jpg
Samsung's new sensor offers 12 megapixels and each pixel is 1.4μm in size. Furthermore Samsung ISOCELL technology is employed to reduce colour cross talk between neighbouring pixels. ISOCELL physically isolates photodiodes in each pixel and helps the image sensor perform more accurately.
Finally Samsung provides some background information concerning the camera sensor manufacture. We are told that the new image sensor is built with cutting-edge chip-stacking technology. A 65nm sensor and a 28nm logic chip are combined to deliver the complete sensor unit.
Samsung is second place in the image sensor market to Sony. The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are set to become available globally from Friday 11th March. It will be interesting to see what third party manufacturers decide to make smartphones with Samsung's latest Dual Pixel sensor.
Samsung Galaxy S7 teardown published
For those particularly interested in Samsung's latest Android smartphone the teardown recently published by iFixit might appeal. As usual the guys provide a thorough rundown of the innards of the device, mercilessly taken apart with all gluey stuff cast asunder. Venture over here (https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+S7+Teardown/56686?revisionid=verified)if such a dissection might appeal to you.

Samsung joins Apple, launches a smartphone upgrade program of its own


http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2016/03/2016-03-09-image-9.jpg

Smartphone sales in developed nations are slowing as markets are starting to peak (http://www.techspot.com/news/63165-smartphone-lifetime-challenge.html), a realization that is prompting handset manufacturers to borrow a page from the playbook of wireless providers and provide their own financing / early upgrade programs.
Apple introduced an iPhone upgrade program (http://www.apple.com/shop/iphone/iphone-upgrade-program) with the launch of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus (http://www.techspot.com/review/1072-apple-phone-6s-plus/) last September and as expected (http://www.techspot.com/news/62173-samsung-smartphone-leasing.html), rival Samsung is now following suit.
Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-samsung-elec-smartphones-upgrades-idUSKCN0WB06M) notes that Samsung introduced an upgrade program that'll go live in South Korea this week, allowing customers to upgrade to a new premium smartphone every 12 months.
Using the new Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge (http://www.techspot.com/news/63875-samsung-showcases-heatpipe-cooled-galaxy-s7-family-f17.html) as an example, a customer could sign up for a 24-month installment plan from Samsung and pay a monthly fee of 7,700 won ($6.35) on top of the cost of the device. After 12 months, the customer could turn in their phone in exchange for the next flagship and restart the installment plan or keep paying for another year and eventually own the device outright.
Early upgrade options allow consumers to always have a "new" smartphone. The drawback, however, is that you're essentially leasing a smartphone and will always be making a device payment without ever having anything to show for it at the end of the day.
Those that stick with a phone over the long haul or pay for it in full at the time of purchase will of course be left with a device they actually own which can be kept as a backup, sold, passed down to a friend or family member or used until it breaks.
Samsung is also offering a similar program for its latest devices in the UK but the company hasn't said if it'll be expanding the program to the US or any other regions.

Samsung Galaxy S7 And S7 Edge Cross 130k On Antutu Submerged 20cm Underwater



As the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-vs-canon-70d/) and Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-manhattan-scores/) came and went last month, we’ve managed to see both of their capabilities demonstrated in a variety of tests so far. The variety of new features on the devices make for plenty of room and opportunity to carry out tests. Both the devices not only come with Qualcomm’s top hardware, but also with vastly upgraded camera sensors and a first time waterproof certification.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Galaxy-s7-waterproof-1-635x381.png
The Samsung Galaxy S7 And Galaxy S7 Edge Submerged Underwater; No Performance Impact Visible

Despite the significant amount of advances the mobile industry in particular has managed to go through over a short time period, a couple of features are yet to see major improvements. In terms of durability, while we’ve see device screens become better as things advance, they’re still not that durable, even as prices go further up.
With the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/iphone-6s-plus-annihilates-galaxy-s7-in-latest-benchmarking-run-what-is-samsung-doing-wrong/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-teardown/), you won’t have to worry about your device getting bricked in case you drop it in some water. As more devices become available, particularly after Samsung launched the pair in China, we’ve started to see a large amount of tests surface, and today, you can take a look at both the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/breakdown-samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-iphone-6s-iphone-6s-design-specs-features/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-official-images-colors-promo-video/) submerged under 20cm of water.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Galaxy-S7-waterproof-2-635x344.png
In addition to being submerged 20 cm underwater, we also see the popular benchmark Antutu being run on both the devices. The final scores for both the devices can be seen in the image below, and we notice an interesting anomaly for the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-specifications-features-price/) being tested here.
Advertisements

Just as our friend fires up Antutu on both the devices, before submerging them, the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge display benchmark scores of 128495 and 87159 respectively. Given that hardware specifications are the same for both, the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/download-official-galaxy-s7-and-galaxy-s7-edge-wallpapers/)‘s score seems a bit low to us. The device, coupled with its smaller variant, manages to leap back to a score of 134226, which is still lower than the Galaxy S7’s score of 137681.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Galaxy-s7-waterproof-3-635x345.png
If you move past the benchmarks in the video, both the devices also display very fluid performance and seem to be completely unhampered after being submerged underwater for 5 minutes and 20 seconds.
So if you’re wondering whether to upgrade to the Galaxy S7 or the Galaxy S7 Edge this year, this should be an added incentive to fork some dough out. Its nice to finally get to see waterproofing make it on board Samsung’s flagship lineup. So take a look at the video below if you’re interested for more and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

T-Mobile Trumps AT&T's BOGO Galaxy S7 Promo And Offers Better Terms, Free Netflix


AT&T (http://hothardware.com/tags/att) offered a rather compelling Buy One, Get One (BOGO) offer (http://hothardware.com/news/att-offers-buy-one-get-one-deal-for-samsung-galaxy-s7-or-s7-edge) yesterday for Samsung’s excellent new Galaxy S7 (http://hothardware.com/tags/galaxy-s7) and Galaxy S7 Edge (http://hothardware.com/tags/galaxy-s7-edge) flagship smartphones. Customers would have to purchase the first smartphone (upgrade or new line) and add a second phone as a new line. Once three months of service have been completed, you’ll receive $695 in bill credits spanning the course of 30 months to fully offset the cost of a Galaxy S7 or to put towards the cost of the more expensive Galaxy S7 Edge.
T-Mobile CEO John Legere (http://hothardware.com/tags/john-legere) likely saw AT&T’s terms and let out an uproarious belly laugh, as the third-place wireless carrier has fired back with an even more enticing offer. T-Mobile customers can purchase a Galaxy S7 for $0 down, or a Galaxy S7 Edge for $59.99 down and get a second smartphone for free after rebate. And rather than force customer to foot the bill for the cost difference between the second Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge, T-Mobile’s rebate will cover the full cost of either smartphone.

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36777/content/small_samsung-galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge-11.JPG

T-Mobile digs the knife in a little deeper and twists it, stating, “Unlike the other guys, we’ll reimburse you for the full amount of the edge if you choose to buy two of them, AND we’ll give you a prepaid debit card instead of $23 dollar monthly bill credits over two and a half years!”
To throw a little more fuel on the fire, T-Mobile is offering a family of four unlimited LTE data for $150 a month ($50/month for the first three line, and free for the fourth). And we can’t forget that each Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge comes with a free Samsung VR (http://hothardware.com/tags/samsung-vr) headset (along with a 6-game Oculus (http://hothardware.com/tags/oculus) bundle) and a year’s subscription to Netflix (http://hothardware.com/tags/netflix).
“These new Samsung Galaxy devices are loaded with sweet new features, and when you put them on T-Mobile’s 4G LTE network, you have the best combination of cool hardware and a screaming fast network,” said Legere. “And when you come to the Un-carrier, you can upgrade the family to Samsung’s latest AND set everybody loose on our best Unlimited LTE family plan EVER for a steal.”
We should also note that anyone that has already preordered a Samsung Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge from T-Mobile can still qualify to receive a second device for free.

The immediate comparisons are inevitable. Apple and Samsung (http://hothardware.com/tags/samsung) are the two most dominant smartphone manufacturers in the world right now, commanding an overwhelming combined market share that dwarfs their competitors. So, when one of these mobile juggernauts releases a new flagship device, analysts, press, and consumers alike want to know how that new competitive product performs versus the other brand's current offering. The interest and buzz is logical. New doesn't always mean significantly more powerful or more innovative. Some product launches are mild refreshes, while others are major overhauls.


image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36776/content/small_Samsung-Galaxy-S7-With-Box.jpg (http://hothardware.com/gallery/NewsItem/36776?image=big_samsung-galaxy-s7-with-box.jpg&tag=popup)
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36776/content/small_Samsung-Galaxy-S7-With-Box.jpg

To look at Samsung's new Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge (http://hothardware.com/news/hands-on-samsung-galaxy-s7-galaxy-s7-edge-and-gear-360-vr-with-submersion-test), on the surface, you might might think it's the former--a modest uplift of features, bells and whistles, and perhaps just a light rebuffing of the phone's design language. But beauty, as they say, is skin deep and one of the primary new features of the US-targeted Samsung Galaxy S7 is its underlying power plant -- Qualcomm's hot off the fab line Snapdragon 820 (http://hothardware.com/news/qualcomm-unleashes-snapdragon-820-with-adreno-530-graphics) system-on-a-chip (SoC).


image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36776/content/small_snapdragon_820_chip.jpg (http://hothardware.com/gallery/NewsItem/36776?image=big_snapdragon_820_chip.jpg&tag=popup)
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36776/content/small_snapdragon_820_chip.jpg



The Snapdragon 820 is based on Qualcomm's new custom ARM (http://hothardware.com/tags/arm)-based core architecture called Kyro. Kyro (http://hothardware.com/tags/kyro) marks an evolution beyond Qualcomm's venerable Krait (http://hothardware.com/tags/krait) core architecture that the company claims offers 2X the performance and power efficiency of their previous-gen Snapdragon 810. In addition, the Snapdragon 820 has a new beefed-up Adreno 530 graphics engine on board as well. Where the Snapdragon 810 was a power hungry octal-core chip, the Snapdragon 820 scales back to a quad-core architecture with higher ICP (instructions per clock) throughput per core to get more with fewer resources and at lower power consumption.

The Snapdragon 820 has only made a sneak-peek preview to this point, taking residence in a phone from Letv back at CES 2016 (http://hothardware.com/news/qualcomm-brandishes-snapdragon-820a-for-cars-audi-choose-snapdragon-602a-for-2017-vehicles) in January, so the 14nm Samsung fab'ed chip has been a rarity of sorts until the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S7. As such, we were eager to see what the new Snapdragon could do when GS7 samples arrived, and of course how it stacks up versus Apple's A9 power plant in the iPhone 6S Plus.

We're working on our full, detailed evaluation now, but thought a rundown of the performance metrics we've seen thus far would make for an interesting quick-take view of what to expect from Samsung's new flagship and how it ranks versus Apple's finest iPhone as well.


image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36776/content/Galaxy-S7-GFX-TRex.png
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36776/content/Galaxy-S7-GFX-TRex.png

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36776/content/Galaxy-S7-GFX-Manhattan.png


We plan to circle back on GFXBench and look at Manhattan ES 3.1 graphics performance as well, but note that we've run the offscreen version of both tests above. This allows the test to run flat out regardless of screen resolution ensuring a level playing field. The Samsung Galaxy S7 and Snapdragon 820 lay the competitive field to waste and bests the iPhone 6S Plus by a margin of 12 - 18 percent.

image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36776/content/Galaxy-S7-3DMark-IceStorm-Total.png
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36776/content/Galaxy-S7-3DMark-IceStorm-Total.png


3DMark, on the other hand, paints a somewhat different picture with a much tighter field of results and scores. The Samsung Galaxy S7 still takes the top slot here (yellow bar for total IceStorm score) but the iPhone 6S is nipping at its heels and Samsung's previous generation Galaxy S6 Edge+ with its octal-core Exynos chip, isn't too far behind.


image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36776/content/Galaxy-S7-GeekBench.png
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36776/content/Galaxy-S7-GeekBench.png


GeekBench is a synthetic, raw CPU throughput calculation benchmark that offers a look at both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads and how they perform on a give architecture. Looking at the multi-core test (multi-threaded workload), all of the octal-core architectures are on top, including Samsung's 8-core Exynos in the Galaxy S6 and the ARM Cortex-A57-powered octal-core Kirin 950 chip in the Huawei Mate 8 (http://hothardware.com/reviews/huawei-mate-8-review). What's interesting here is that the quad-core Snapdragon 820 in the Galaxy S7 and of course Apple's efficient dual-core A9 chip actually put up a good fight versus all but the octal-core Kirin 950. When it comes to single core performance, the IPC throughput per CPU core in the Snapdragon 820 and Apple A9 allow them to blow past all other architectures, though Apple has a nip-tuck lead here over Samsung and Qualcomm with about a 9 percent advantage.

image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36776/content/Galaxy-S7-JetStream.png
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36776/content/Galaxy-S7-JetStream.png


JetStream is the replacement follow-on benchmark to SunSpider and it focuses on browser performance as well as javascript processing. Here we're seeing an outlier and it looks like the Galaxy S7's software setup needs a bit of optimization. Apple's iPhone 6S Plus smokes all contenders by a wide margin as well, suggesting great efficiency in their software stack.


image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36776/content/Galaxy-S7-Rightware-BrowserMark.png
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36776/content/Galaxy-S7-Rightware-BrowserMark.png

Rightware's BrowserMark test ranks performance of modern mobile web browsers, along with device processing engines, in terms of how well they handle web page loading, screen resizing, and web graphics rendering workloads. In this test, the Samsung Galaxy S7 just edges out the Snapdragon 810 octal-core equipped Google Nexus 6P (http://hothardware.com/reviews/nexus-6p-review) and the iPhone 6S but is surpassed by the octal-core Kirin 950 by a small 5% margin. And again, it's impressive to see how the Apple A9 and Snapdragon 820, with 2 and 4 cores respectively, compete versus the octal-core chips. Performance scaling per core certainly isn't linear.

The MobileXPRT benchmark runs through a variety of tests to evaluate the responsiveness of a device, along with its ability to handle many everyday mobile workloads, use cases, and applications. It's a total system platform test inclusive of memory and storage subsystem performance measurements as well. This test offers trace-based workloads and is fairly real-world in its approach.


image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36776/content/small_Galaxy-S7-Mobile-XPRT.jpg (http://hothardware.com/gallery/NewsItem/36776?image=big_galaxy-s7-mobile-xprt.jpg&tag=popup)
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36776/content/small_Galaxy-S7-Mobile-XPRT.jpg
MobileXPRT Benchmark Results



We only have Android devices available in this test, since it's an Android-only benchmark that's available on Google Play. On the left side of the results table above, you'll see scores (except for the Overall score) that are listed in time to complete, so lower scores are better. With the Overall score, a higher score is better. On the right side of the table, higher scores are better as well for the various test groups. As you can see, the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://hothardware.com/news/hands-on-samsung-galaxy-s7-galaxy-s7-edge-and-gear-360-vr-with-submersion-test) with its Snapdragon 820 SoC take the top score by a very healthy margin but show some shortcomings on the right side user experience metrics. Again, since the device is fairly new to market, it's likely that Samsung is still optimizing and updating software on the phone, so this could rectify itself over time.

image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36776/content/small_Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Back.jpg (http://hothardware.com/gallery/NewsItem/36776?image=big_samsung-galaxy-s7-back.jpg&tag=popup)
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36776/content/small_Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Back.jpg

To be candid, it's impressive to see how well Apple's A9 dual-core processor has held up with only two CPU cores at play. It's a true testament to how efficiently Apple has engineered its silicon and software solution combined. However, the Samsung Galaxy S7, at least with respect to graphics performance and multi-core throughput, looks to have an advantage over the iPhone 6S, and in some tests by a sizable margin. It will be interesting to dive in a bit deeper with Samsung's latest Galaxy, so be sure to stick around in the days ahead for our full review.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Review: Next-Generation Android is Now (http://www.techspot.com/review/1147-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/)

Of all the phones announced at Mobile World Congress 2016, Samsung's Galaxy S7 Edge was the one that impressed me the most. It's clear Samsung has listened to complaints leveled at last year's flagship and have endeavored to address every one. As a result, the Galaxy S7 series is an evolutionary step, and one that has resulted in the best device ever created by the Korean giant.
With both the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge retaining the key design aspects of the Galaxy S6 (http://www.techspot.com/review/996-samsung-galaxy-s6/), the most obvious change is in the size of the two devices. The Galaxy S7 is still a 5.1-inch handset with a 1440p AMOLED display, but the dual-curved-edge Galaxy S7 Edge has increased in size to 5.5-inches (http://www.techspot.com/review/1147-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/page2.html). This sensibly transforms the Edge from a direct competitor to the Galaxy S6, to a device that sits between the S7 and Note 5 in Samsung’s product stack.
http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/1147/images/S7EdgeS-4.jpg (http://www.techspot.com/photos/article/1147-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/#S7EdgeF-4)
Most of the Galaxy S7’s other changes are under the hood. Samsung has returned to a mix of Qualcomm Snapdragon and Samsung Exynos SocS, with most markets getting the speedy Snapdragon 820. The camera has changed from a 16 MP unit to 12 MP, leading to an increase in pixel size and improvements in low light performance (http://www.techspot.com/review/1147-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/page6.html). But the most welcome of all changes? Larger batteries, with the S7 getting a 3,000 mAh unit, while the Edge gets 3,600 mAh.
On top of these improvements, Samsung has also brought back two of the most loved features in the older Galaxy S5: water resistance (sans annoying flaps), and a microSD card slot. What you’re not getting is a USB Type-C port, as Samsung wants the S7 series to maintain compatibility with the Gear VR, which uses micro-USB. Other than that though, the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are filled with the latest collection of hardware available.
http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/1147/images/S7EdgeS-13.jpg (http://www.techspot.com/photos/article/1147-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/#S7EdgeF-13)
So far I’ve had the most hands-on time with the Galaxy S7 Edge, which I’ve been using for the past few weeks. It’s an Australian model, so it’s equipped with an Exynos 8 Octa 8890 (http://www.techspot.com/review/1147-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/page3.html) rather than the Snapdragon. I’ll have further thoughts on the Snapdragon 820 version of the S7 later on when I can test them side by side, even though Samsung likes to say the difference is negligible.
There’s no denying that the Galaxy S7 Edge is a beautiful handset, and Samsung has put in a lot of effort into improving the ergonomics of the dual-edge body. Where the S6 Edge wasn’t very comfortable to hold, the new rounded metal edges of the S7 Edge make it significantly easier to hold, and it no longer feels like two thin metal strips are digging into your hands.
http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/1147/images/S7EdgeS-8.jpg (http://www.techspot.com/photos/article/1147-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/#S7EdgeF-8)
The curved display still leads to less metal on the sides to grip, which in turn makes the S7 Edge less easy to hold than the regular Galaxy S7. Combined with a smooth glass back, and there is a chance that this smartphone may slide out of your hands more often than you’d like. However, the improvements to the S7 Edge’s sides do make a difference, even if the design is visually similar.
http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/1147/images/S7EdgeS-22.jpg (http://www.techspot.com/photos/article/1147-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/#S7EdgeF-22)
As before, the entirety of the S7 Edge's design is made from either metal or glass. The black model I have for review looks fantastic (it’s actually black this time, rather than dark blue), with the sleek glass panels on the front and back giving this handset a premium aesthetic. The metal around the edges looks just as good as it did on the Galaxy S6, once again complementing the glass from a visual and textural standpoint.
It’s immediately apparent when you hold the S7 Edge that this phone has been immaculately constructed. Unlike the somewhat sloppy and plasticky Samsung designs from several years ago, the glass and metal seamlessly meet on the Galaxy S7’s body. The slight curve to the front glass panel on all edges means you’ll never feel the metal join, while the curved glass back feels just as good here as it did on the Galaxy Note 5.
http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/1147/images/S7EdgeS-6.jpg (http://www.techspot.com/photos/article/1147-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/#S7EdgeF-6)
The extra rounding that has been applied to the edges of the Galaxy S7 series not only improve its ergonomics, but also help hide the extra thickness of the device. To accommodate a larger battery (http://www.techspot.com/review/1147-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/page8.html), Samsung has increased device thickness from 6.9mm to 7.7mm, which honestly you can barely feel in your hands. The extra millimeter or so has also allowed the camera bump to shrink to a mere 0.46mm, while the 25 gram weight increase (up to 157 grams total) is mostly attributable to a larger body.
http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/1147/images/S7EdgeS-29.jpg (http://www.techspot.com/photos/article/1147-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/#S7EdgeF-29)
Having just spent a few months with the 5.7-inch Google Nexus 6P, the Galaxy S7 Edge is a very comfortable size for everyday use. If anything, the smaller screen makes it easier to use one-handed, although in this respect it still falls behind the relatively compact 5.1-inch Galaxy S7.
http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/1147/images/S7EdgeS-31.jpg (http://www.techspot.com/photos/article/1147-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/#S7EdgeF-31)
There’s no removable battery, but users should be extremely pleased to see the return of the microSD card slot, which is found in a tray along the device’s top edge with a spot for the nano-SIM as well. Expandable storage is still the best way to increase your device’s storage on the cheap, with 128 GB cards retailing for as low as $35 (http://www.amazon.com/Patriot-128GB-Speed-Transfer-Speeds/dp/B00SNLIG5O/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1457660418&sr=1-3&keywords=128gb+microsd) these days.
Water resistance has also returned as a no fuss feature you probably won’t even realize is part of the S7 Edge’s package. There are no annoying flaps covering ports, but you’re still getting IP68 protection that allows the device to be submerged in up to 1.5m of fresh water for 30 minutes. It’s also completely protected against dust ingress.
http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/1147/images/S7EdgeS-33.jpg (http://www.techspot.com/photos/article/1147-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/#S7EdgeF-33)
As with all IP-rated smartphones, there are some things to be wary of. The Galaxy S7 is not fully resistant against salt or chlorinated water. While you can take the phone in a chlorinated pool, it’s a good idea to wash the phone in fresh water after it’s been submerged. Also you should know that the S7 Edge may refuse to charge if the USB port is still somewhat wet, as a safety measure against any water damage.
http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/1147/images/S7EdgeS-7.jpg (http://www.techspot.com/photos/article/1147-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/#S7EdgeF-7)
The USB port on the Galaxy S7 Edge is standard micro-B so that the smartphone is still compatible with the Gear VR. I’d have liked to see the S7 Edge support USB Type-C, like the majority of smartphones that are set for release this year, but I can definitely understand why Samsung has opted not to include it this year.
http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/1147/images/S7EdgeS-16.jpg (http://www.techspot.com/photos/article/1147-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/#S7EdgeF-16)
Like the phones that came before it, the S7 Edge has a fingerprint sensor located below the screen, which doubles as a home button. The performance of the sensor has been improved and now it’s easily as fast as Touch ID on the iPhone 6s. As an estimate, the fingerprint reader was around 95% accurate during my time using it, which is a pretty good result.
On the back of the S7 Edge is a very sleek glass panel with a slightly raised camera unit along with an LED flash and a heart rate monitor.
Besides black, you can also get the Galaxy S7 Edge in white, gold or silver. The latter two are extremely reflective due a metal-like finish below the glass.
http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/1147/images/S7EdgeS-23.jpg (http://www.techspot.com/photos/article/1147-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/#S7EdgeF-23)
Perhaps the only major downside to be found on the S7 Edge’s design is the lack of stereo or front-facing speakers. The handset has a single speaker along the bottom edge, which is reasonably loud, but it lacks the clarity and quality you’d get from dual front-facing speakers. It’s also quite easy to block the speaker while gaming, so you’ll need to watch your hand placement.

Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge go on sale today (http://www.kitguru.net/laptops/mobile/matthew-wilson/samsung-galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge-go-on-sale-today/)


Samsung’s new pair of flagship smartphones for 2016 are going on sale today. From today, you should be able to get hold of a Galaxy S7 or a Galaxy S7 Edge in the US, UK and Australia. If you have been following news on both devices, then you will likely know that many critics have rated both the S7 and S7 Edge very highly already.
If you are planning on buying one unlocked then it will cost a fair bit. The Galaxy S7 costs £569.99 here in the UK while the S7 Edge costs £639.99.

Tanto aparato com o S7 e mesmo assim, derrapa perante o Iphone que ja saiu ha nao sei quanto tempo....nao era suposto ser CLARAMENTE melhor?


Mas estás a falar em termos de performance e scores de benchmarks certo?

É que se assim for, esses são dois dos pontos em que simplesmente não dá para comparar com o S7 ou qualquer outro smartphone Android. Se o iPhone corresse Android dava mas sendo assim.....

The Samsung Galaxy S7 Is One Cheap Smartphone; Teardown Shows $255 Of Material Costs
As the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-official-images-colors-promo-video/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-specifications-features-price/) start to penetrate the smartphone ecosystem, more information surfaces about the devices every day. We’ve seen benchmarks, teardowns and camera samples surface, all of which show how much thought Samsung has put in its 2016 flagship smartphones. In addition, given that they’re flagships, both the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge come with price tags much higher than your average smartphone.
Today, some details have surfaced related to an IHS teardown which tells us just exactly how much it takes for Samsung to to build the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-pc-like-gaming-vulkan-watercooling/); in terms of direct material costs. So if you’re curious, head over below to find out more.

Samsung’s Galaxy S7 Costs $255 In Terms Of Parts; Snapdragon 820 The Most Expensive Component Given the popularity of the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/two-videos-show-galaxy-s7-and-its-durability-can-it-survive-these-extreme-tests/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge, a lot of folks out there are quite eager to learn more about the devices, particularly those who have a smartphone upgrade overdue. So to start, the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/breakdown-samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-iphone-6s-iphone-6s-design-specs-features/) comes with a price tag of $670, something which isn’t surprising, given the premium nature of the device.
Folks over at IHS have carried out their annual teardown on Samsung’s device and have managed to come up with a number w.r.t the raw material costs of the flagship smartphone. In terms of component costs, the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-underwater-test/) costs the Korean manufacturer $255 to manufacture, which translates to $415 of value added to these components if you contrast it with the price tag here in the US.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Galaxy-S7-1-635x321.png
An interesting point to note when it comes to this cost is that it took Samsung almost a similar amount to build the Galaxy S5; a fact that tells us quite a lot about smartphone component prices over the pat couple of years. The most expensive component of the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/ifixit-samsung-galaxy-s7-teardown-reveals-tough-repairing/), surprisingly (or unsurprisingly) is the Snapdragon 820 (http://wccftech.com/snapdragon-820-dominates-benchmarks/), which comes with a price tag of $62.
The dual-pixel, 12MP camera sensor on the device, which signals a much different approach by Samsung towards photography this year costs $13.70. Rather than simply pile on more pixels this year, a long held tradition at Samsung for quite a while, the Korean manufacturing giant instead chose to decrease the resolution and increase the amount of pixels on the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-vs-canon-70d/); something which adds quite a bit to the low light photographic capabilities of the device.
Of course, it costs more than $255 in terms of overall costs for Samsung to manufacture the device, but just goes to show how high margins can go when it comes to flagship smartphones. A similar teardown for the iPhone 6s (http://wccftech.com/iphone-6s-costs-apple-234-manufacture/) last year showed us that it costs Apple $234 to manufacture the smartphone, which is in the same ballpark. Thoughts? Let us know what you think in the comments section below and stay tuned for the latest.

AMD will be using the next-gen Polaris 10 GPU running on Valve's Aperture Science Robot Repair which will be powered by the HTC Vive Pre headset. Polaris 10 looks like the same GPU showed off at CES 2016 and the RTG event in Sonoma in December, which will compete against the likes of GeForce GTX 950. The Polaris 10 will be an entry-level/mainstream part based on the 14nm FinFET process with GCN 4.0 enhancements. As for availability, it should launch in mid-2016 right around the time of Computex - so expect plenty of new entry-level/mainstream laptops to be powered by Polaris 10. AMD is livestreaming its Capsaicin event which kicks off today at 4PM PST, which you can check out here. POST A COMMENT Qualcomm is releasing their own VR SDK for the Snapdragon 820 By: Jeff Williams | More News: Virtual & Augmented Reality | Posted: 33 mins ago You might already be potentially experiencing some of the best mobile VR on a Qualcomm chipset. It's inevitable with the kind of market share that they enjoy, but they want to make sure that the 3D enabled apps that you're using have the chance to be the absolute best when paired with the Snapdragon 820 with their new VR SDK. qualcomm-releasing-vr-sdk-snapdragon-820_1 Virtual and augmented reality are becoming more and more complex works of art, taking advantage of the creativity of their creators, becoming vivid abstractions of our minds eye. Btu all of that requires processing power, and access to the underlying hardware in easy to use, low-overhead ways. To do that we need SDK's that allow for that. That's precisesly what Qualcomm's new VR SDK sets out to do. Allow VR app and content creators to design into their apps the ability to take advantage of the inherent advantages of their processor. One of the most important aspects is the reduction in latency from what's being rendered and what you see. If there's too much, speaking in the realm of milliseconds here, then it can cause a huge disconnect and contribute to motion sickness. Using the SDK provides a nice and healthy 50% decrease in latency compared to not using it. They've also allowed lower-level access to the DPS and have built-in lens correction functions. Another great feature of the SDK is a native way to generate menus and other overlays in apps so that they can actually be rendered correctly.

POST A COMMENT New Gears of War: Ultimate Edition patch incoming, finally fixed By: Jeff Williams | More News: Gaming | Posted: 1 hour, 19 mins ago Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for the PC got off to a pretty bad start when it was released at the beginning of the month. It was a complete mess for AMD cards and a slightly smaller mess for NVIDIA cards. DirectX 12 was there, but it didn't quite provide the performance boost that we thought, and expected, it would. But a new patch coming out soon should prove to fix quite a few of the more worse problems. new-gears-war-ultimate-edition-patch-incoming-finally-fix_1 This new update will include a lot of performance optimizations, tweak Ambient Occlusion and disable mouse smoothing, some of the most requested additions to the game. Unfortunately, if you have a 60Hz monitor, you're still limited to the up to 60FPS, even with V-sync turned off. At the moment they're working on a fix for that. And they're also looking into adding an FPS counter into the game since very few external solutions support UWP or even being available in DirectX 12. FRAPS, a popular solution, doesn't work in DX12 enabled games, for example. The most important fix in the patch are the performance enhancements, and under-the-hood changes they've made so that AMD cards don't result in a whole screen of graphical artefacts or other strange occurrences. Now it'll actually be playable, even if it's limited to the refresh rate of your monitor. And at least a smooth constant 60FPS is acceptable for playing, if not really for showing off.

He responded that they aren't simply making the game easier, but are making some challenges more fun for those that otherwise could be overwhelmed by them. There's no sense in having a game that can't be fun for a wider audience. Younger gamers in particular, might benefit from having a bit of assistance once in awhile. And they don't want to lower the hurdle, so to speak, but just make it more accessible. Invincibility will come from a difficulty level that allows a special Arwing that you can obtain so you can familiarize yourselves with the levels. He didn't quite go into detail as to how that would work, but higher difficulty levels will likely feature better rewards. But for the more hardcore player, they also seem to be adding in even higher difficulty modes as well.

Though it wasn't a mainstream currency, they saw the growth potential, and wanted to give customers a wealth of choices. But they've recently decided to remove Bitcoin from their list of payment methods that are accepted. microsoft-longer-accepting-bitcoins-payment-method_1 If you happen to have a balance of Bitcoin in your wallet already, you can use those at the Microsoft Store or App store, though you can't refill the internal wallet with more Bitcoin nor can you get a refund if you wanted to get those out. That seems to indicate that the infrastructure used to process Bitcoin no longer happen to be in place. You were able to use them for any Microsoft branded store. This is another bold move considering they were advocates of choice in 2014, and this escape from the market is quite the shock. Though there are probably practical reasons as to why they did so. Microsoft hasn't announced why they made the decision though we've reached out for comment. POST A COMMENT Ubisoft is even more serious about cheaters in Rainbow Six Siege By: Jeff Williams | More News: Gaming | Posted: 3 hours, 58 mins ago Ubisoft is getting tired of the rampant cheating that seems to happen in Rainbow Six Siege. They've already released one patch that took care of a lot of latent exploits in the various levels, and it also made it possible to report people for alleged cheating. But that doesn't seem to have been enough. Now they're expanding their criteria when looking for cheaters in their game. So cheaters beware. ubisoft-even-more-serious-cheaters-rainbow-six-siege_1 To help to prevent cheating on the scale that it already seems to exist, they're implementing new algorithms to identify cheaters. That algorithm looks at how you play, where you aim compared to where the bullet seems to strike and so on. They're becoming much more strict in their effort. And if you've been identified as a cheater mid-game, you're immediately pulled from the game and given a temporary suspension. There's no word whether punishments will become worse as more instances are found, or if there's the possibility of banning you from the game completely. Cheating is an issue in any kind of game but games of a competitive nature that have a rank structure attract more due to the want, or perceived need, to be the absolute highest even with the absence of skill. And of course, that can potentially ruin the game for others, who want to play it within their skill level amongst those that are like-minded. It can be incredibly frustrating playing against those that are using assistance. It's a bit easier to be more strict with Rainbow Six Siege being purely a multiplayer competitive experience. It's great to see them wield that ban-hammer a bit more surely. POST A COMMENT Lil Wayne and Wesley Snipes star in Samsung's ads for the Galaxy S7 By: Anthony Garreffa | More News: Mobile Devices, Tablets & Phones | Posted: 9 hours, 1 min ago If you didn't already know, Samsung has launched their new Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge smartphones, as well as the refreshed Gear VR - and well, they have three new ads that star Lil Wayne and Wesley Snipes. In the ads, Lil Wayne is using the Galaxy S7 while he deliberately pours champagne all over it, and then dunks it into a fish tank. In the second video, Wesley Snipes proves his acting chops by saying "cool" and then extends his range considerably more, by saying "very cool".

<iframe width="781" height="469" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pdrb7pepMjY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

In the third ad, Lil Wayne helps give birth to a baby elephant - yeah, that happens.

SquareTrade breakability testing: Galaxy S7 / Edge are water resistant, durability still suspect



<iframe width="1137" height="639" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/r7pQIzYXhFk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


Samsung's latest smartphones (http://www.techspot.com/review/1147-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/) recently visited the labs of extended warranty provider SquareTrade for some good ole' torture testing. How'd the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge hold up against a barrage of perils including water and physical stress tests and how do they compare against Apple's iPhone 6s and 6s Plus (http://www.techspot.com/review/1072-apple-phone-6s-plus/)? Read on (or watch above) to find out.
The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge both carry an IP68 rating meaning they can remain submerged in up to 1.5 meters (roughly five feet) of fresh water for up to 30 minutes. After half an hour in those exact conditions, both new Galaxy phones still worked but the audio was permanently muffled and distorted.
For comparison, the iPhone 6s (which isn't rated for any liquid protection) lost all audio and suffered water damage under the screen in the same test. The iPhone 6s Plus, meanwhile, began malfunctioning at 10 minutes and was a total brick at 24 minutes in.
The idea of the IP68 rating is that you can get stuck out in the rain for a few minutes or accidentally drop it in the toilet and not have to worry about ruining the device (just make sure and disinfect it really well if the latter occurs).
http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2016/03/2016-03-13-image-3.jpg

(The lower the Breakability Score, the better) After 30 seconds in SquareTrade's new TumbleBot, both new Galaxy phones cracked in the exact same way with shattered backs and corners. The iPhone 6s completed the test with only a minor knick while the display on the larger 6s Plus totally shattered.
SquareTrade also conducted various drop and bend tests but for the sake of brevity, I'll let the video above detail the findings.
Aileen Abaya, director of communications at SquareTrade, said Samsung’s new phones may hold up to an impressive amount of water but they still struggle to keep up with the iPhone when it comes to screen durability. So while the S7 and S7 edge may be perfect for underwater adventurers, Abaya notes that those of us who are clumsy or accident-prone should still be careful about drops and tumbles.

Samsung Galaxy S7 & S7 Edge Come With Malfunctioning Buttons; Get The Fix Here And Find Out More



When compared to the launch of the Galaxy S6 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s6-vs-iphone-6-vs-htc-one-m9-vs-nexus-6/) and the Galaxy S6 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-galaxy-s6-edge-launched/) last, Samsung’s launch of its 2016 flagship smartphones was a relatively quiet affair. While we did see some impressive upgrades in the form of an all new Dual Pixel camera being introduced, overall, both the devices didn’t change much in terms of design. Given that design is perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of a device to change, and often proceeds to define a gadget, its only natural that we’re seeing progress slow down in this one aspect.
Today, we’re hearing about some alleged issues surfacing on both the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-255/) and Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-underwater-test/), so if you’re looking to get one yourself, or have already pre-ordered one for yourself, read more below to see how this problem surfaces and how to solve it, at least temporarily.

Samsung Galaxy S7 & S7 Edge Allegedly Surfacing From Malfunctioning Buttons; Require Reboot To Fix

While design changes might not be that striking on the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/ifixit-samsung-galaxy-s7-teardown-reveals-tough-repairing/) and the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-manhattan-scores/), Samsung has made some subtle changes this year around, which are focused more towards refining that found on its 2015 flagships. That being said, today we’re hearing about some alleged malfunctions on both the devices, according to folks over at Sammobile.
The volume down button on Samsung’s flagship smartphones is failing to respond in several situations, particularly when using the device for video chats. This malfunction is reported while both the devices are being used in Google’s hangouts, with the volume down button often failing to respond completely in several instances.
Advertisements

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Galaxy-S7-2-635x357.jpg
Not only does the volume down button stop responding, but issues have also been reported with the power button of the device. According to the source, solving the volume button problem isn’t as easy as simply putting your device to sleep either. If you try to do so, you’ll find out that the button simply stops responding as well, leaving for quite a messy situation indeed.
It seems like a software issue most likely, as if you hold down both the volume down and power button in succession for a couple of seconds, you’ll find out that the screen goes blank and the device reboots. In some cases you’ll be led to a menu, in which case you should simply choose the reboot manually option. In others, the Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-vs-canon-70d/) or the Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/iphone-6s-plus-annihilates-galaxy-s7-in-latest-benchmarking-run-what-is-samsung-doing-wrong/) will simply reboot, and in both cases, things should be back to normal soon.
Do you have a Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/download-official-galaxy-s7-and-galaxy-s7-edge-wallpapers/) or Galaxy S7 Edge (http://wccftech.com/breakdown-samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-iphone-6s-iphone-6s-design-specs-features/) suffering from similar issues? Or have you pre-ordered one for yourself, or are looking to do so? In any case, let us know what you think in the comments section below and we’ll keep you updated in the meanwhile.

(http://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-problems-surface/#ixzz42zOk3AFO)AT&T: Buy one Galaxy S7, get one free. Also receive up to $650 to switch carriers


http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2016/03/att-bogo-offer-techspot-2016o.png

The new Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are destined to be one of the top smartphones released this year. Both handsets bring just the right amount of improvements over their predecessors and feature the fastest mobile hardware money can buy. If you're considering either of these high-end handsets or happen to be unhappy with your existing carrier, now might be as good a time as any to consider making a move (https://yaengage.att.com/#/home/splash).
From now through March 31, AT&T is offering up to $650 in credit to switch (https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/switch-and-save-etf.html) from a competing wireless provider. To take advantage of the offer, you'll need to activate a new line of service and buy a phone using the Next installment plan, port your number, and trade in (https://buyback.att.com/#/start-a-buyback/discover-device-value) your existing smartphone via the AT&T Buyback program.
Once you've made the switch, you'll simply need to provide AT&T with a copy of the final bill from your previous carrier. After eligibility requirements have been met, you'll receive a pre-paid Visa card in the mail based on the amount of your early termination fee or device payment plan balance from your old provider minus the value of the smartphone you traded in which will arrive as an AT&T credit.
AT&T is also running a buy one, get one free (https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/samsung-galaxy-s7-buy-one-get-one-free.html) (BOGO) promotion on nearly a dozen of today's hottest handsets including the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. To snag a free handset, you'll need to buy both using AT&T Next with a qualified service plan. After three months of service, the line with the free phone will begin to receive monthly bill credits totaling up to $650 over the life of the installment plan resulting in a free phone.
http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2016/02/2016-02-21-image-10.jpg
No promo code is required for the BOGO offer; simply follow this link (https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/samsung-galaxy-s7-buy-one-get-one-free.html) to get started. This offer is good for both new and existing customers, AT&T says.
Best yet, the two promotions can be stacked meaning you can get up to $650 to switch to AT&T and score a free handset when you buy a new one. And don't forget, Samsung is also offering Galaxy S7 buyers a free Gear VR headset for a limited time, so be sure to take advantage of that as well!

DxOMark: Galaxy S7 Edge Has Best Smartphone Camera (http://www.hardocp.com/news/2016/03/20/dxomark_galaxy_s7_edge_has_best_smartphone_camera/)



According to the industry standard for image quality ratings, the Galaxy S7 Edge’s camera (http://www.dxomark.com/Mobiles/Samsung-Galaxy-S7-edge-Mobile-Review-A-new-champion) is the new champion—although the comments at the end of the article would suggest that it is certainly not perfect.


…Samsung’s latest flagship Smartphone is a great proposition for mobile photography enthusiasts. The 26mm f/1.7 lens delivers very accurate and repeatable exposures, which helped the S7 edges achieve an outstanding Exposure & Contrast score of 90 during our tests. In fact, even in tricky high contrast scenes, it captures great exposures thanks to its built-in auto HDR feature, making it a great choice for landscape or backlit photography. The modest 12Mp resolution also ensures a good compromise between noise and detail on the S7 edge, which secures excellent DxOMark Mobile scores of 91 for Texture and 89 for Noise.

Samsung posted a small blog showing what’s inside the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. While the blog is abit (well huge) advertorial, it's always funny to see technology back to its basics, up-to the PCB. Have a peek after the break.

To make the new Galaxy S7 and S7 edge water and dust resistant, satisfying IP68 specifications, an type of water protective tape has been added to the back of the front and rear glass of the phone’s casing.

Get Adoptable SD Card Storage on Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Without Root

Listening to its user base, Samsung has brought back the MicroSD card storage with the latest Galaxy S7 and S7 edge (http://wccftech.com/how-to-enter-galaxy-s7-recovery-mode/). While many Android users are pleased with this comeback, Samsung has removed quite a favorite Marshmallow feature – adoptable storage.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Screen-Shot-2016-03-21-at-9.47.02-pm-635x377.png
Adoptable storage is a Marshmallow feature that gives your smartphone the ability to consider expandable storage as a partition of its internal storage. If you are one of those who want to use microSD card just like the internal storage, there is a workaround to make it happen, and it doesn’t even require rooting your device (http://wccftech.com/how-to-root-galaxy-s7-edge/). Considering the fact that you won’t need to root your device to make your device treat the microSD card as internal storage, it seems that the company hasn’t actually removed the adoptive storage on system level, but simply disabled it out of the UI.
For users who are okay with a little system-level tweaking of their smartphones, this guide will help you enable adoptable storage on Galaxy S7 or S7 edge. Using Android Debug Bridge and your computer, you can get adoptable storage on Galaxy S7 or S7 edge without having to root your device.
Advertisements

Prerequisites to check before moving forward

Make sure to back up your microSD card as it will be formatted during the following process.
In the Settings, tap on build number over 5 times to enable Developer Settings. Once in, go to Developer Settings to enable USB debugging.

How to get adoptable storage on Galaxy S7 and S7 edge

Connect your smartphone to your PC.
Open command prompt and type:

adb shell
sm list-disks


The second command will look for the disks available for adoption. Note the disk ID in format 000:000. http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/56c732ac96934_EmberLibraryMediator.png.a053eb6bcb8 3973069f8edc0c90fc9fb.png
Next, you have to decide if you want to use the microSD card as an internal storage in its entirety, or if you just a portion of the SD card to be treated as a normal SD card. Remember, saving some percentage of the card as the conventional SD card will help you store data like a normal card. You can plug out and plug it into your PC to get access to this data, including your photos or videos.
Once you have decided how much you want to commit to the internal storage, run the following command:

sm partition disk:000:000 private (000:000 will be replaced by your disk ID, and private will be used to commit 100% of the SD card as adoptable storage.)
OR sm partition disk:000:000 mixed 50 (to split your SD card 50/50 between adoptable and regular storage.)



The system will take a while to partition the disk. Once it’s done, you can view additional internal storage under Settings > Additional Settings > Storage. The apps will be automatically installed to the storage with the most space available, but you can always move things around.
The above guide was shared by MoDaCo who reports that “for some reason, the total space isn’t reported correctly” after you convert your SD card to be treated as adoptable storage on Galaxy S7. However, everything works perfectly.

Galaxy S7 thrown in washing machine, still works afterward (http://www.tweaktown.com/news/51178/galaxy-s7-thrown-washing-machine-still-works-afterward/index.html)

One of the great things about the Internet is you can watch other people risk the well-being of their expensive devices instead of you doing it yourself. That's what's happening with the video below from YouTuber Max Lee, who throws the Galaxy S7 in an LG washing machine to test just how waterproof it really is. Turns out: very.


<iframe width="781" height="469" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/W2cnH1xzCPw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


The phone is put through a full 45 minute cycle, so it's rigorous testing to be sure; a VRS Design Crystal Mixx case was used purely to prevent scratches.

Impressive, no?

How to Customize or Disable the “Always On Display” Feature on Galaxy S7 Duo

Always On Display feature has been one of the highlights of the Samsung Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/how-to-root-galaxy-s7-on-android-6-0-1-marshmallow/) and S7 edge (http://wccftech.com/how-to-root-galaxy-s7-edge/) smartphones. The feature is nothing new in the Android world as several other smartphones already offer it, however, it is definitely a feature-introduction for Samsung’s devices. Thanks to Galaxy S7 duo’s Super AMOLED display, the feature hardly consumes any additional battery juice, making it one of the favorite new features.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/galaxy-s7-always-on-display-3-635x423.jpg
The Galaxy S7 Always On Display keeps the screen on even when you turn off the display of your Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 edge. A little area is lit-up with the time, date, battery level, and notifications for emails or incoming messages. This Galaxy S7 guide will help you customize this new feature and also help you learn how to disable it, if you don’t find yourself falling for the Always On Display.
Customize Galaxy S7 Always On Display: Similar to all the other Samsung features, Always On Display also comes packed with a ton of control and customizations. Before, going into customizations, here is how to enable / disable Galaxy S7 Always On Display.
Advertisements




Go to Settings > Display > Always On Display. Alternatively, you can also swipe down the Notification shade to quickly access the Always On Display settings.
Once in, toggle it on or off to enable or disable the feature.

When you have enabled the feature, you can customize it to your liking.


On the primary Always On Display screen, click on Content to Show to customize what exactly you want to see on your screen when it’s turned off.
Content to Show allows you to display an image, clock or a calendar.
You can choose from a few watch faces to display on your screens. http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Screen-Shot-2016-03-22-at-12.15.51-pm-635x1129.png
If you chose a calendar, you can select from two styles. Whereas, the image popup allows you to choose an image from 3 wallpapers. You can download additional themes from Samsung themes store and they will be accessible to this menu.

(http://wccftech.com/how-to-get-adoptable-storage-on-galaxy-s7-or-s7-edge/)
It only takes a few steps to customize Galaxy S7 Always On Display and choose from a few choices of images, watch faces or calendar styles. The Always On Display will now display the content that you opted for, along with time and some notifications. It also automatically dims or brightens the screen depending on the surroundings. However, you cannot customize the brightness levels yourselves.
Users could certainly do with more choices in the type of content they want to display on their screens. There is still no third-party app access or control over brightness settings as mentioned, among other things. The feature works perfectly for a first start, however, it does leave you wanting for more.

Two Ways to Take Screenshots on Galaxy S7 and S7 edge – Scrolling Screenshot Tip Added

Got your hands on the brand new Samsung Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge (http://wccftech.com/how-to-enter-galaxy-s7-recovery-mode/)? It’s always exciting to upgrade to a new smartphone, and even more so if you are changing the platform/manufacturer. If you are new to Android – or Samsung’s phones for that matter – you might need a little help in performing regular tasks on your smartphone. In an effort to help our readers who are new to Android get the most of their new devices without getting frustrated in the process, we keep sharing helpful tips and guides.
Today’s addition in our series of Android Tips and Tricks (http://wccftech.com/protect-touch-screen-tips/) covers one of the most basic operations – taking a basic and a scrolling screenshot. If you need to quickly take a screenshot of your friend’s super embarrassing comment before they delete it, don’t worry we are here to help you out.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/s7-screenshot-guide-method-3-720x479-635x422.jpg
Two ways to take screenshots on Galaxy S7 or S7 edge You can take screenshots on Galaxy S7 or its curvier sibling by using the hardware buttons or using gestures. If you want to take a screenshot using hardware keys, follow these steps:


Open the screen that you want to capture. This could be any screen in your smartphone, inside an app or even the home screen.
Press and hold Power and Home buttons together.

You will hear a sound and your screen will also show a quick animation of taking the screenshot. You can access the freshly taken screenshot from the notification pulldown bar, from where you can instantly share or edit. To view all of the screenshots go to Pictures > Screenshots.

Take screenshots on Galaxy S7 or S7 edge using gestures Taking a screenshot with hardware keys sound so last-decade to you? You can also use gestures to take a screenshot on your Samsung phone. Once used to this, you will never go back to the awkward use of Home+Power key combo.
Advertisements



Activate gestures: go to Settings >Motions.
Inside the Motion menu, look for Hand Motions.
Check the Palm Swipe to capture.

Once you have activated the gesture, you can now grab a screenshot on Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/how-to-root-galaxy-s7-on-android-6-0-1-marshmallow/) using gestures.


Go to the screen that you want to take a screenshot of.
Now swipe the edge of your hand from right to left or left to right, horizontally. This edge-to-edge swipe gesture may take you a few tries to master, but it makes taking screenshots so much easier and quicker. http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Screen-Shot-2016-03-11-at-11.23.54-AM-635x732.jpg

Again, go to the notification pull over for quick sharing and edit, or access all of the screenshots from your phone’s gallery.
How to take scrolling screenshot in Galaxy S7 From Advanced settings, you can enable Smart capture which shows additional information after you take a screenshot. After taking a screenshot, you can instantly edit or share it. But along with sharing and edit, this toggle also allows you to take a scrolling screenshot.


Enable Smart capture from Advanced settings.
Follow any of the above methods to take a screenshot.
Once the first screenshot is taken, tap on Capture more that will make the screen scroll down and capture more content.
When you are done, you can press back or tap anywhere on the screen (other than the screenshot options) to stop the process and save the entire scrolling screenshot.

READ Get Adoptable SD Card Storage on Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Without Root
(http://wccftech.com/how-to-get-adoptable-storage-on-galaxy-s7-or-s7-edge/)
If you keep the Smart Capture enabled all the time though, it could be a little annoying. Especially if you have to take multiple (non-scrolling) screenshots quickly, as you face an additional pop-up after every single screenshot. You can simply enable this option when you need to take a scrolling screenshot and keep it disabled otherwise.
Don’t forget to let us know if you want us to focus on some other feature use in our Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge guides (http://wccftech.com/how-to-customize-galaxy-s7-always-on-display-feature/).

http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2016/03/2016-03-21-image-30.jpg

One of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge's great new features (http://www.techspot.com/review/1147-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/) is the always-on display, which shows you the time, date, and select notifications even when the screen is 'off'. Being able to see the time at a glance is very handy, but many people have a misconception that enabling this feature consumes a lot of precious battery.
Over the past few days I've been testing exactly how much battery the always-on display consumes, and the results aren't surprising: battery consumption is very low. This is due to the Galaxy S7 Edge's AMOLED display, which only needs to illuminate a handful of pixels to show the time and notifications. As the phone doesn't need to power a backlight to display this information, energy is conserved by keeping the vast majority of the display black (or off in this case).
http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2016/03/2016-03-20-image-2.jpg
http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2016/03/2016-03-20-image-3.jpg
To test the always-on display, I left the Galaxy S7 Edge in airplane mode over the course of 18 hours in a variety of conditions. I tested the phone without the feature enabled, and three times with the feature enabled: one for when the display was at a high brightness due to indoor lighting, one where the display was dim due to no lighting, and one where the display was off.
Why would the display be off when the always-on feature is enabled? Well, Samsung's software engineers are clever, and turn off the display whenever the proximity sensor detects the phone is in your pocket or bag.
In my tests I found that the always-on display consumed around 11 percent of the phone's battery over the course of 18 hours, relative to when the feature is disabled. If the phone was left to die, it would have taken a whopping 130 hours to deplete with the always-on display enabled, or five and a half days.
http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2016/03/2016-03-20-image-4.jpg
When looking at how much battery is consumed per hour, the always-on display sucked between 0.59 and 0.65 percent of the battery per hour. If the phone is in your pocket and the always-on display is enabled, expect to lose 0.008 percent more per hour due to the power consumption of the proximity sensor.
Compared to general usage, the impact from the always-on display is low. Running PCMark, for example, consumes 20 times more energy.
To put a real world example to these figures, let's say you take the Galaxy S7 Edge off the charger at 6am, and return it to charge at 10pm. If you left the phone untouched with the always-on display enabled, you'd expect to lose an extra nine percent of battery over the course of the day.
However that's a pretty unrealistic scenario, as most people actually use their phones throughout the day, and often keep them in a bag or pocket. Let's say that you use your phone for 40% of the day (5.6 hours of screen-on time) and for 30% the phone is in your pocket or bag. For another 30% of the day, the phone is on your desk displaying the time via the always-on display.
In this scenario you can expect to consume an extra 2.75 percentage points of battery compared to if the always-on display is disabled. This is the difference between finishing the day with 30 percent battery remaining, and 27 percent battery remaining. In my eyes this is a very small amount, and perfectly justifies keeping the always-on display enabled.

Samsung Galaxy S7 And Galaxy S7 Edge Review: Hot Android Hardware


Galaxy S7 And S7 Edge Introduction And Specs
When it comes to technology, especially the fast-paced advancement of mobile technology, design cycles are often based on either innovation or iteration. Sometimes it's a blend of both, but often times, like Intel's tick-tock silicon design process, it makes perfect sense to innovate one design cycle and then iterate and perfect on the next. It's a common practice that Samsung's chief smartphone rival, Apple (http://hothardware.com/tags/apple) is well known for as well. The Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge smartphones are definitely iterative product designs, but my how iteration has served Samsung so very well on these two new flagship devices.

Last year's Samsung Galaxy S6 And Galaxy S6 Edge (http://hothardware.com/reviews/samsung-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge-review), as well as the larger follow-on Galaxy S6 Edge+ (http://hothardware.com/reviews/samsung-galaxy-note5-and-s6-edge-reviews), were break-out designs for the Korean smartphone powerhouse, with build quality, material choices and mechanical design innovation that offered consumers a very premium Android smartphone alternative in a saturated market. They are great devices, even by today's standards nearly a year later. Samsung's new Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge are refreshes of the original S6 designs, though this year's Edge is larger with a 5.5-inch display. Samsung (http://hothardware.com/tags/samsung) went through almost every major area of last year's product and updated it with newer, better platform technologies and tossed in a few new key features as well.

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/Article/2446/content/small_Galaxy-S7-S7-Edge-Two-In-A-Box2.jpg

As a result, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge are two highly refined, powerful smartphones. Let's dig in and take a good look at some seriously hot mobile hardware, but first, let's let Marco give you a quick hands-on demo, doing what has been referred to as his best "Jeff Goldblum." Long story but you'll notice the channeling...

A quick scan of the high level specs for both phones shows the new GS7 and GS7 Edge are powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, a full 4GB complement of DDR3 RAM and Qualcomm's new Adreno 530 graphics. The other major notable here is that both phones now sport larger batteries and the Galaxy S7 Edge specifically is backed by a very healthy 3600 mAh power plant.

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/Article/2446/content/small_Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Galaxy-S7-Edge-Under-Water.jpg
It's unnatural to watch, but the Galaxy S7 & Galaxy S7 Edge handle submersion with no aversion.


And of course both devices are now IP68 water and dust resistant. Specifically, if you decided to go for an impromptu dip, for example, and forgot the phone was in your pocket, you could actually stay fully submerged in up to 5 feet of water for up to 30 minutes without damaging the phone. And as you'll see on the pages ahead, Samsung achieved this without blocking up the phones' headphone, mic or microUSB synch and charge ports with external caps or gaskets.

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/Article/2446/content/small_Samsung-Galaxy-S7-And-Galaxy-S7-Edge-Kit.jpg

Samsung bundles a relatively health kit of gear to go with these new devices. You get the requisite lit pack and AC adapter charger with microUSB to USB synch and charge cable, along with a pair of decent sounding Samsung ear buds. They're not Bose SoundSport or IE2 (http://amzn.to/1pKpIKl) quality, but sounds every bit as good or better than any bundled set of buds you've ever plugged into.

You also get the standard issue SIM extractor pin tool, along with a microUSB to standard USB adapter. It's perhaps an interesting nod to the fact that the Galaxy S7 series of smartphones does not come with a USB Type-C port, unlike newer generation devices like Google Nexus 6P. Whether or not this is a major shortcoming is up for you to determine, but we'd offer most folks simply won't miss this port upgrade from what is otherwise essentially a dream list, top-shelf mobile platform setup.

Speaking of which, let's look closer at the hardware, next...

Galaxy S7 Loses Quarter Of Its Overall Performance During Gaming – Overheating The Culprit?

Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/how-to-force-restart-galaxy-s7-or-galaxy-s7-edge/) is definitely loaded with impressive hardware, but it looks like Samsung but not have undertaken how badly the device will be performing when its temperature goes above the recommended threshold because according to the latest tests, the smartphone loses a ton of performance when intensive games are played on it. Here is why.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/GalaxyS7edge_spec-635x584.jpg



Galaxy S7 Loses 25 Percent Of Its Performance After Gaming For Just 15 Minutes – Is Overheating The Culprit For This Issue According to tests carried out by Nordichardware, Galaxy S7 actually throttles when it is stressed for a small period of time, which should cause worry if you want to game on your handheld powerhouse for a prolonged periods. Throttling is when the processor is forced to reduce its clock speed when the temperature rises, which means slower performance, suggesting that despite being processed on the 14nm FinFET LPP process, Exynos 8890’s CPU is still suffering from performance issues.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/img_galaxys7-635x391.jpg
Advertisements

Since Samsung’s custom developed Mongoose quad-core processor running at 2.3GHz is the more powerful processor out of the two (the second one is a Cortex-A53 quad-core running at 1.6GHz), looks like the blame can be pinned on the design process of the Mongoose. The tests being conducted for the smartphone are carried out with fixed ambient temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, along with an external thermometer installed near the system circuit on the back. The value is then compared to a temperature value obtained from an app on the phone.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/s7_cooling-635x325.jpg
During the tests, 3DMark SlingShot drops for each round, but according to the results, the culprit is not overheating because both the thermometer and the internal sensor shows a reading of 38 degrees after about 15 minutes of testing. However, it should be noted that chips manufactured on a smaller node tend to have smaller temperature thresholds compared to those made on a higher manufacturing process. This goes without saying that gamers who intend to play on their Galaxy S7 will have to keep in mind that if they purchase the Exynos 8890 version, they should be worried about performance drops when they decide to stretch their gaming sessions.

It is evidently clear that despite the fact that both Mongoose and Cortex-A53 provide a ton of performance when paired together, Samsung’s own designed processor is definitely not the fastest one out there (http://wccftech.com/antutu-top-mobile-chipsets/), suggesting that there could be a design problem with the chip. However, gaming performance is also dependable on the GPU, and in this case, ARM’s Mali-T880MP12 could also be held responsible for this performance slump.

Galaxy S7 is 25% slower after gaming for only 15 minutes, overheating? (http://www.tweaktown.com/news/51297/galaxy-s7-25-slower-gaming-15-minutes-overheating/index.html)

It looks like Samsung might be in some hot water over its flagship Galaxy S7 smartphone, with some reports stating that after gaming for around 15 minutes, the Galaxy S7 loses 25% of its performance. Overheating could be the issue, which is something that NordicHardware looked into (http://www.nordichardware.se/wp-content/uploads/soc_throttling_samsung_GS7.png).


http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/5/1/51297_01_galaxy-s7-25-slower-gaming-15-minutes-overheating.jpg (http://www.tweaktown.com/image.php?image=imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/5/1/51297_01_galaxy-s7-25-slower-gaming-15-minutes-overheating_full.jpg)

Their report states that the SoC performance gets throttled and is forced to reduce its clock speed when the temperature of the chip rises, leaning to rumors that the Exynos 8890 and its 14nm FinFET LPP process might not be perfect. During some 3DMark SlingShot benchmarking, the Galaxy S7 runs at 38C, and over five rounds, the performance begins to fall right off of a cliff.

There are two different Galaxy S7 smartphones in the market, one with the Exynos 8890 processor and another with the Snapdragon 820. If you're purchasing the one with Samsung's own Exynos 8890, you might experience these performance-related problems. Samsung should hopefully come out and address this in the near future.

A Rugged Version Of Galaxy S7 Could Be Incoming – More Durable Than Ever Before

Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-loses-25-gaming-performance/) and Galaxy S7 edge have received major improvements over their predecessors and it is highly possible that a Galaxy S7 Active variant could be rolling out in the near future.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Galaxy7_Gold_Front-635x423.jpg
Latest Galaxy S7 Leak Shows That Device Will Be Exclusive To AT&T In many ways, Galaxy S6 Active was better than the regular version of the Samsung’s previous generation flagship family, indicating that if its successor is rolled out to AT&T, it too will feature hardware specifications that will eclipse the regular versions of these newly release smartphones. Starting off, Galaxy S6 was severely criticized for having a smaller battery capacity, and Samsung replied to those critics with not a witty comeback, but with a Galaxy S6 Active smartphone.
The smartphone not only packed a larger 3,500mAh cell inside its hood, it had also passed several certifications such as the following:


IP68 certified: Dust and water resistant up to 1.5 meter and 30 minutes
MIL-STD-810G certified: Salt, dust, humidity, rain, vibration, solar radiation, transport and thermal shock resistant

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/s6-active-1-635x371.jpg
Now, despite the fact that Galaxy S7 is IP68 certified, it does not have a rugged chassis, meaning that it will not be able to survive a hefty amount of wear and tear as opposed to the ‘Active’ variant of the smartphone. According to Evan Blass, a known leakster tweeting from the micro-blogging social network, has stated that the model number SM-G891A in testing at AT&T is known as the Samsung Poseidon. This could mean a number of things, but the closest speculation is that the above mentioned name could be just another name for Galaxy S7 Active.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/s7_cooling-1-635x325.jpg
While both newly announced smartphones pack larger battery capacities, there is always that little voice at the back of your head telling you that you need to see something bigger, and we are hoping to see a 4,000mAh cell in the upcoming version, if Samsung has any intentions of releasing such a model. No changes are going to be made to the remaining hardware, as the device is already impressive.
Would you guys want to see a Galaxy S7 Active model in the near future, and that too sporting a larger battery capacity? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Galaxy S7 Active Confirmed Via Samsung Level Audio App


As you can tell by Dave’s review of the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge (http://hothardware.com/reviews/samsung-galaxy-s7-and-galaxy-s7-edge-review-hot-android-hardware?page=1), Samsung has hit it out of the park with its 2016 smartphone flagships. For those that were disappointed by deprecated features on last year’s Galaxy S6 (http://hothardware.com/tags/galaxy-s6) and Galaxy S6 Edge (http://hothardware.com/tags/galaxy-s6-edge), Samsung delivered in spades this go around with improved performance, a better camera, a microSD slot and waterproofing.
And now, thanks to a leak committed by Samsung itself, we know that a third variant of the Galaxy S7 is on the way: the Galaxy S7 Active. Reference to the smartphone appeared in the description for the Samsung Level (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.samsungsoundphone) audio app on Google Play.

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36931/content/small_Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Galaxy-S7-Edge-Under-Water.jpg
Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge submerged in water.
The big question that remains though is how Samsung will differentiate the Galaxy S7 Active from its lesser siblings. The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge already include IP68 certification which makes them both dust tight and sealed to protect against complete, continuous submersion in water (at a depth of 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes). Late last week, serial leaker Evan Blass revealed that SM-G891A, codenamed Poseidon, is now testing on AT&T’s wireless network. Given that Poseidon is the Greek “God of the Sea”, it’s highly possible that the Galaxy S7 Active will be further fortified to protect against water intrusion at greater depths.

We can also expect for the Galaxy S7 Active to carry a larger battery (the Galaxy S6 Active (http://hothardware.com/news/att-samsung-seek-adventurists-with-galaxy-s6-active-smartphone) featured a 3,500 mAh battery compared to 2,600 mAh for the standard mode) and a rugged housing to protect against drops (the Galaxy S6 Active is MIL-STD-810G rated for shock resistance). And it wouldn’t be out of character to see physical buttons for the App Launcher, Home and Back.
Of course, this is all speculation at this point. But given that Samsung has made such a highly visible slip-up on announcing the smartphone’s existence — and hasn’t yet corrected the “mistake” — we have the feeling that it won’t belong before we see an official announcement.

Last year Samsung launched the Galaxy S6 Active, which was particularly welcomed as the other members of that Galaxy family, the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge, lacked rated resistance to common hazards like dust and water. The recently launched Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge do officially have water- and dust-resistance, but that hasn't stopped Samsung from developing a particularly rugged member of the family, it now transpires (http://www.sammobile.com/2016/03/28/samsung-app-confirms-the-presence-of-the-galaxy-s7-active/).
The launch of a Samsung Galaxy S7 Active (SM-G891A) model was rumoured last week by Samsung-centric site SamMobile. The magazine saw evidence that it was in testing with American carrier AT&T via serial leaker @evleaks (https://twitter.com/evleaks/status/713245636934705152), and that it has previously been shipped to (https://www.zauba.com/import-sm-g891a-hs-code.html) India for testing. Its 'Poseidon' codename was fitting, as it would be protected by the god of the sea – from water (and dust).
The latest fuel for this rumour comes from its presence in the official Samsung Level app. That is pretty much an official confirmation, even if it is from a slipup. Level is a Galaxy smartphone companion app designed to control a range of Bluetooth accessories.

Last year's Samsung Galaxy S6 Active lineup If you are tempted by the new Samsung Galaxy S7 smartphone range, but are the type who requires a ruggedized device to match your lifestyle or weekend pursuits, perhaps you should wait for this S7 Active to be officially released. Such folk should be assured by the probable military-grade protection (MIL-STD-810G) plus IP-68 certification. A bigger battery is expected to be included too.

Samsung has got its mojo back

http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/66e4825588b3c8b5c7fdb25cb75bb4c9_L.jpg (http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/66e4825588b3c8b5c7fdb25cb75bb4c9_XL.jpg)

Galaxy S7 selling better than expected

It looks like Samsung is back on track with its Galaxy S7 and selling more than expected, just as its main rival Apple appears to be stuck in neutral.

Several finance brokers upgraded first-quarter forecasts for what is still the world's top smartphone maker, citing a strong start for the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge premium phones that were launched earlier this month.
Jay Yoo, industry analyst at Korea Investment & Securities, wrote in a report to investors that Samsung likely shipped 9.5 million S7 phones in the first quarter, significantly more than the initial estimate for 7 million.
HDC Asset Management fund manager Park Jung-hoon added:

"It looks like the sell-in numbers have been pretty good and analysts are raising their sales forecasts for the S7 this year. The firm is pushing up volume in the mid-to-low tier to protect market share. Starting S7 sales about a month earlier than the S6 to take advantage of Apple not having new products out yet was also a good move."
The two Galaxy S7 models have won acclaim for their sleek design and the return from previous models of features such as microSD card storage support and water resistance, though the Tame Apple Press insists that the phones offer only incremental upgrades and don't look different to their predecessors – so they are still copying Apple.
Analysts had lowered their expectations amid signs of a further slowdown in demand for consumer electronics, and investors took little heed earlier this month when Samsung's new mobile chief Koh Dong-jin claimed that the S7 models would outsell previous models following better-than-expected pre-orders.

How to Enable WiFi Sharing on Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge – Android Tips

Samsung has introduced a pretty neat feature with Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge (http://wccftech.com/how-to-force-restart-galaxy-s7-or-galaxy-s7-edge/), allowing the user to share their WiFi connection with another device. While Android’s tethering options have done the job over the years, its mobile hotspot normally only lets you share your mobile data connection with another device. Android’s mobile hotspot tethering lacks the ability to share your phone’s WiFi connection. Now, with Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge (http://wccftech.com/how-to-hard-reset-galaxy-s7-and-galaxy-s7-edge/), you can share your WiFi connection through WiFi network with other devices. Sounds confusing?
Unlike tethering, Samsung’s Galaxy S7 duo will act as a WiFi repeater/extender, allowing you to share your WiFi connection with another phone, computer, or a tablet. Think of times when you can’t connect a second device to the same network. Forgotten password? Paid subscription? Galaxy S7 WiFi sharing will help you in these scenarios to connect more devices through your S7 or S7 edge.

This feature is exclusive to Samsung’s latest Galaxy S7 and S7 edge and you won’t be able to use it on the Galaxy S6 lineup or any other devices. According to various reports, Verizon has removed this WiFi sharing feature from its Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge devices.

Tips to Fix Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge Battery Drain Issues

Samsung launched its latest Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge (http://wccftech.com/how-to-take-screenshots-on-galaxy-s7-and-galaxy-s7-edge/) earlier this month. This year’s impressive Galaxy S7 duo is among the best Android smartphones that you can get. But, with all the shine and glamour also come the regular issues. One of the most talked-about and possibly most annoying problem that you can have on your Samsung devices is the battery drain. Several users have confirmed the battery drain problem on Samsung’s Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. However, you can easily fix Galaxy S7 battery issues as most of the times it’s about a bad app or some other services running unnecessarily in the background, more than a problem with the device itself.
Samsung has employed a massive 3,000 mAh battery pack in its Galaxy S7 and a bigger 3,500 mAh in its Galaxy S7 edge. For comparison Galaxy S6 has a 2,550 mAh battery pack, while iPhone 6s Plus flaunts a 2,750 mAh battery. Which means that your phone should ideally be able to last you longer than previous Galaxy devices. Still not happy with the battery life? Follow this post for a detailed checklist to see if you are missing out on some important aspects of your new smartphone that could help you get more battery life.
Recommended: How to Force Restart an Unresponsive Galaxy S7 or S7 edge (http://wccftech.com/how-to-force-restart-galaxy-s7-or-galaxy-s7-edge/) http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/MWLZ1oJtyDAiRtQL.medium.jpegHow to fix Galaxy S7 battery issues Here are some of the tips to help you fix Galaxy S7 battery issues, which will also work on Galaxy S7 edge (http://wccftech.com/how-to-root-galaxy-s7-edge/). Many of the following tips and features will help you get more life from your other Android smartphones regardless of their manufacturer.
– Turn off Briefing: Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge bring an app called “Briefing” out of the box. When you swipe left on the homescreen, you will see this app curating info from multiple sources to get you everything at one place. It may sound like a useful feature, but it’s often very laggy. Not only is using Briefing a pain in itself, but also affects battery life (and for some users, performance issues) on your Samsung device.
Our suggestion? Disable it! You can use Flipboard’s Android app or any other similar apps offering way better functionality and services.


To disable Briefing, long-press on a blank spot on the homescreen.
Now, swipe over to the left which will take you to Briefing > turn it off.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Galaxy-S7-flipboard-635x354.png
– Close unnecessary running apps: There are many apps running in the background, even when you don’t use them. Find out these and close them. Some messed up third-party application (read: Facebook) could easily be the culprit behind a bad battery life on your Android smartphone. Go to Settings and in the Battery section, look at what apps are eating out the most of your battery life. If you find the culprits, either force stop these or uninstall them altogether. Reinstall the essential apps to see if the problem is fixed.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Screen-Shot-2016-04-01-at-2.37.58-AM-635x1089.png
– Turn off radio communications: We have a habit of keeping everything ON, even when we aren’t using them. From WiFi to Mobile Connection and Bluetooth, communications have a huge impact on your device’s battery life. When you are in no need of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, or even the cellular data, turn these services off. These services slow down the devices by constantly updating and hence draining battery life. Make a habit of only switching them on when you actually need these services and you will experience a huge difference in Galaxy S7 battery life.

(http://wccftech.com/how-to-root-galaxy-s7-on-android-6-0-1-marshmallow/)
– Reduce tethering: Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge not only allow you to share your mobile connection with others, but they also bring a new feature of WiFi sharing (http://wccftech.com/how-to-enable-galaxy-s7-wifi-sharing/). While this is all pretty cool and helpful when you need them, tethering drains the battery very fast too. Turn tethering on only when it’s needed, don’t keep it on for longer hours, especially when you need your device to last longer.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Wi-Fi-sharing-on-the-Galaxy-S7-and-Galaxy-S7-edge-allows-you-to-share-a-Wi-Fi-signal-with-another-device.jpg-2-635x448.png
<section> – Disable location services: Disabling location services not only helps in increasing your Galaxy S7 or S7 edge’s battery life, but it’s also important for your privacy. We don’t really need the location services unless we are using maps for navigation or any other apps that offer us services or information based on our current location. It’s super easy to enable location services when you are using any such apps, so consider turning it off at all the other times.
– Manage background sync Some apps consume a lot of battery and when they are left to run in the background, be ready to see your Galaxy S7 run out of a fully charged battery in less than a few hours. Since I don’t use social networking apps, Google Photos works as that one app for me consuming all of battery life in a few hours. An essential and powerful photo storage and sharing app, it doesn’t really need to be run in the background. As I have over a few hundreds of photos that need to be backed up, I enable background sync at the night while plugging my smartphone.
Advertisements

You can do the same with your other apps. Disabling background sync will help you fix Galaxy S7 battery life problems. But, to take advantage of background sync, you can manage it to suit your own needs and at times when you would either be at home with access to a power outlet or won’t need the battery to last you longer.
Go to Settings,Accountsand disable sync for the apps that you don’t need. Power-hungry apps like Facebook, Photos and similar other third-party applications should never be allowed to run in the background at all the times.
– Battery charge cycle: Not only for Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, but for all your Android and iPhones, it has long been recommended to let your device go through at least one full charge cycle a month. Full charge means charging the battery to 100% and then completely using it down. Power cycling this way helps in getting accurate battery usage data and is good for your battery maintenance too.

– Use a black wallpaper: From Settings > Personal > Wallpaper > From Gallery, choose a black Galaxy S7 wallpaper. You won’t find in the default option but you can always find one online or create one for yourself.
– Fix Galaxy S7 battery by disabling notifications: Receiving notifications for every single app is not only annoying but also eats up resources of both data, battery and the processing speed. Make efficient use of notifications and disable them for apps you don’t require notifications for.
</section> <section> – Restart your Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge: It is always recommended to restart your gadgets if you are facing any kind of performance, battery, or heating issues before resorting to any other solutions. Hold down that power key and turn the phone off. This simple Android tip might help you solve some battery and heating issues. Here’s how to force restart an unresponsive Galaxy S7 or S7 edge. (http://wccftech.com/how-to-force-restart-galaxy-s7-or-galaxy-s7-edge/)
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Screen-Shot-2016-04-01-at-3.11.52-AM-635x367.png
– Factory reset Samsung Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge: If none of the above tips work for your smartphone, it is time to go for the last resort: factory resetting Galaxy S7. Go to Settings > Personal > Backup and Reset to factory reset Galaxy S7 duo. Because factory reset wipes off all the data on your gadget, keep a backup before proceeding. For more details, please read: how to factory reset Galaxy S7 or S7 edge (http://wccftech.com/how-to-hard-reset-galaxy-s7-and-galaxy-s7-edge/).
Important: use Galaxy S7 default battery settings Android 6.0 Marshmallow brought a ton of battery saving features to the devices. Go to Settings,System, Battery and you will find a Power Saving Mode and an Ultra Power Saving Mode. Using Power Saving Mode, you can make your Galaxy S7 or S7 edge last much longer when you need it. This mode limits the processor performance, turns off vibration, reduces screen brightness, and disables other such features. It doesn’t stop you from using anything, it simply cuts down on fancy things like vibration and screen on-time.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Galaxy-S6-2.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Galaxy-S6-2.jpg)
Power saving mode is all awesome, but dire times call for tough decisions. With Ultra power saving mode, you can squeeze hours out of your dying Galaxy S7 (http://wccftech.com/how-to-customize-galaxy-s7-always-on-display-feature/). In this mode, Galaxy S7’s screen will turn to black and white and a grayscale theme. This means you will go back to the days of phones when they weren’t so smart. You will get limited functionality, including access to text, call and web browsing. But, your phone will last hours, even with a single digit battery percentage.
</section> We hope that the above tips help you in fixing Galaxy S7 battery life issues. You can always choose to enable the airplane mode to disable all the communications with a single tap. Also, don’t forget to make it a habit to occasionally restart your device, as it will fix several battery and performance related problems.

Curto estes posts com este tipo de titulos "tendenciosos"... O titulo aponta para "issues" e quando começam a ler percebem que não há "issue" nenhum.

Simplesmente é para tirar maior proveito de uma bateria que já é de si ESPETACULAR.

A minha namorada tem um, comprado na ultima sexta, e passou o dia de sabado praticamente o dia todo agarrada ao telemovel. A ver videos, a explorar, etc...

O telemovel tem bateria para dar e vender.

You can now let Samsung reps remotely control your Galaxy S7 to troubleshoot problems


http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2016/04/2016-04-01-image-4.jpg

Seeing as you’re reading this, it’s probably safe to assume that you’re tech-savvy enough to know your way around a smartphone. But not everyone knows how to operate all the features found on these devices, especially when it comes to the newer, more complex models like the Samsung S7/Edge (http://www.techspot.com/review/1147-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/).
For those technophobes out there, an update (http://news.samsung.com/us/2016/03/31/samsung-ups-ante-customer-support-new-version-samsung-app/) to the Samsung+ app - now in version 3.0 - could stop those calls to friends asking things like: “How do I set up the Wi-Fi/email/password?”
Thanks to the app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.oh&hl=en)’s live support function, users will be able to contact a Samsung customer representative via a video chat, voice call, or text message. The feature should be particularly helpful for those who prefer trying to solve a technical issue by communicating with an actual person, rather than by trawling the web or checking a product’s FAQ section.
But even chatting to an expert may not be able to solve the problem. Should this be the case, then the new ‘Assist’ feature can be used - as long as the owner gives their express permission, the representative will be able to take control of the device in question and try to fix it.
The Assist feature is only available on the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge right now, but other Galaxy devices and tablets will receive it through carrier updates over the coming weeks.
The update also sees a Community section added to the app, along with a new look, On Demand Answers, device diagnostic tools, and a tips & tricks section.

Galaxy S7 Can Survive More Than Half A Day Submerged In Water

Galaxy S7 is a class above the competition and entices the crowd with its impressive hardware and cosmetic outlook. However, can the smartphone handle being submerged in water? Looks like we will find out.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Galaxy-S7-635x332.jpg
Galaxy S7 Can Survive A Water Submersion Test For Over 16 Hours Thanks to Lou, the man in front of the cameras in the popular YouTube channel Unbox Therapy, the individual decides to go all out with a Galaxy S7 by attempting to place it in water to see for how long the device can last. Both Galaxy S7 and S7 edge are IP68 certified, and according to the company, they can survive up to 30 minutes in up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) of water.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Galaxy-S7-2-635x559.jpg
The experiment revolved around Samsung’s flagship smartphone being submerged inside a jar full of water while being powered on and it was able to remain functional after going through an aquatic gauntlet for 16 hours and 36 minutes. However, we should mention that a minimum amount of pressure is exerted on to the smartphone when it was submerged in a glass jar filled with water so the entire scenario can change immediately depending on the depth of water.
Regardless, it is still a very impressive feat from the company. Apart from being IP68 certified, the Galaxy S7 family is also MIL-STD-810G certified; this means that it resists the following from entering its chassis and compromising its internal circuitry:

Dust
Humidity
Rain
Vibration

Transport

Previous versions of Samsung’s flagship offerings were severely criticized for having smaller battery cells, but despite the fact that Galaxy S7 is a whole millimeter thinner than its predecessor, it still houses a larger battery inside of its housing, indicating that if extended levels of efforts are made, then manufacturers can incorporate impressive feats when placing components happens to be the current objective.

Should you get a case for your Galaxy S7 Edge?

Galaxy S7 Factory Unlocked Being Sold For A $200 For Discount

There is hardly a time when you see Galaxy S7 being sold at a hefty discounted price tag, but on this occasion, you have the opportunity to own the flagship phone at $200 less than its original retail price.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Galaxy-S7-2-3-635x559.jpg
Galaxy S7 Factory Unlocked 32GB Being Sold For $599.99 On Newegg, the 5.1-inch flagship smartphone is being sold for $599.99, allowing you to cash in on the opportunity to own a 32GB smartphone for a reduced price tag. Unlike its predecessors, Galaxy S7 does sport a MicroSD card slot, allowing you to have tons of storage in the palm of your hands. The maximum storage capacity of the smartphone is 200GB, so it is highly unlikely that you will be running out of storage anytime soon.
Furthermore, Samsung has incorporated a 3,000mAh battery in its Galaxy S7 and it features a QHD display as well. While Samsung has received significant amount of praise for its mobile hardware, it has been bombarded with the exact same opposite responses when it comes to its software. It was even reported that Google is intending on lending a helping hand to Samsung in order to further refine the interface, because it would be a huge blow to the tech giant if it loses out on the most popular Android smartphone manufacturer in the world right now.

Additionally, the handset packs a 12.3MP rear camera sensor with a wide aperture of F/1.7. This goes beyond the capabilities of Galaxy Note 5, which features an aperture of F/1.9, showcasing that Galaxy S7 will perform very well in low-light conditions. Despite the fact that the number of megapixels have been decreased, it will actually be advantageous in low-light environments because more light per pixel will effortlessly be able to enter the sensor, resulting in an accurate and pleasing image, even in locations where there are limited sources of light.
