A leaked image claiming to be of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge suggests that the phone might come with a microUSB port, instead of a USB Type-C port
A leaked image alleged to be of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge was posted on Weibo, suggesting that the phone will come with a conventional microUSB port, and not a USB Type-C port. The latter is slowly gaining popularity amongst smartphone manufacturers as it is reversible and offers faster data transfer and charging speeds as compared to microUSB. Most flagship devices like the OnePlus 2, Nexus 6P, and Lumia 950XL already house USB Type-C ports. In addition, reports suggest that the upcoming LG G5 and Xiaomi Mi 5 might also come with a USB Type-C port.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is expected to launched alongside the standard Galaxy S7 during Mobile World Congress, 2016. However, it was reported that a seller had listed the two phones for sale on an e-commerce website based in Dubai. The phones are expected to come with a pressure-sensitive screen with QHD resolution. The phones may also be launched in two variants, one with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, while the other might come with an Exynos 8890 SoC. Reports also suggest that phones may have a 12MP camera located at the back of the phone with f/1.7 aperture lens for improved low-light imaging capabilities.
