A few weeks ago we published an article entitled "This is everything we know about the Samsung Galax S7". Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, since then we have not stopped learning about the new Samsung flagship that will be presented on February 21, in Barcelona and within the framework of the Mobile World Congress. For all this we have decided to update all the information and create this complete X-ray of one of the most anticipated smartphones of the year.
Everything you are going to read below is unofficial information, which will surely become reality and be confirmed on the 21st. Furthermore, all the images that you will see in this article are from different leaks that have occurred. We may see some unexpected news or a change in the design, but the Galaxy S7 it will undoubtedly be very similar to what we are going to see next.
Design; an interesting evolution of the Galaxy S6
We could say in general lines that the design of the Galaxy S7 will bear a fairly reasonable resemblance to that of the Galaxy S6, although with some interesting evolution. And it is that its edges and tips will be somewhat more rounded, which is undoubtedly appreciated. In addition, Samsung will use a more curved 2.5D glass this time.
At the moment they have not transcended the weights of the two versions of the Galaxy S7 that will reach the market, although we are not expected to be facing two too heavy devices, quite the opposite. As for the dimensions, they will be the following;
- Samsung Galaxy S7: 143 x 70,8 x 6,94 mm
- Samsung Galaxy S7 edge: 163 x 82 x 7,82 mm
Another novelty that we can see will be the elimination of the protrusion of the camera that we could see in the Galaxy S6 and how little we liked it. In the new Galaxy S7, that protrusion will measure 0,8 millimeters, going practically unnoticed by any user.
Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, Features and Specifications
Such and we have known for a long time The Galaxy S7 will hit the market in two different versions, the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge that will differ in very few aspects and mainly in the size of the screen. The version, let's call it normal, will have a 5,1-inch screen and the Edge version will mount a larger screen, specifically 5,5 inches and that will also be curved at its edges.
Below we review the Galaxy S7 main features and specifications;
- 5,1 inch screen and 5,5 inch QuadHD SuperAMOLED screen
- Snapdragon 820 or Exynos 8890 processor, ARM Mali-T880 GPU
- 4GB LPDDR4 RAM
- 32, 64 or 128GB internal storage expandable via microSD card
- 12 megapixel and f / 1.7 rear camera
- 5 megapixel front camera
- NFC, LTE Cat 9
- 3000mAh / 3600mAh battery, with ultra-fast and wireless charging
- IP67 certification
- Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow Operating System
- Available in black, silver and gold
Curved screen and something else
At the moment it already seems fully confirmed that This new Galaxy S7 will mount a screen of 5,1 and 5,5 inches, and in the case of the Edge version it will be curved. What has not been confirmed at the moment is whether it will be sensitive to pressure, one of the great novelties that Apple introduced in its iPhone 6S.
According to rumors, this new features would be available, being baptized as Clear Force, although for the moment no leak has allowed us to confirm it, so we will have to wait until February 21 to know definitively if the screen of the Galaxy S7 will offer a answer depending on the force with which we press it.
USB Type-C and the return of microSD
Finally two of the most important news that we can see in the Galaxy S7 will be the return of microSD card, which will be a boon for most users. And it is that in the Galaxy S6 this form of extra storage was eliminated, arousing enormous criticism, but now it is back. The internal storage of the new Samsung flagship will be 32, 64 or 128 GB, but any user can also expand it greatly thanks to a microSD card.
This will likely see a huge number of 7GB Galaxy S32 units sold and only a few of the 64 and 128GB versions, but Samsung is sure to get huge user satisfaction.
Another novelty that we will see will be the adaptation by the South Korean company of the USB Type-C connectors, a technology that is already used by other terminals on the market and that undoubtedly offers interesting advantages.
What can we expect from the Galaxy S7?
We have known almost everything about the new Galaxy S7 for quite some time. From its characteristics and specifications, through its design and even reaching some truly peculiar details. We still need to know the price that this terminal will have and that it will certainly not be reduced and will be among the most expensive mobile devices on the market.
I personally believe that We must expect a very elegant smartphone, with a huge screen quality, with a camera that offers us the possibility of taking high-quality photographs And I also hope that a battery that does not limit its use as happened with some versions of the Galaxy S6.
It would only be hoped that the price was one of the surprises, but I am very afraid that if we want to enjoy the new Samsung flagship we will have to scratch our pockets to a great extent.
