New leaked images of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge suggest a flush camera bump and 100000+ points on the Antutu benchmark
New set of images have surfaced before the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. The upcoming duo has been in the news for almost six months now and we already know that Samsung will be announcing the two phones at its 'Unpacked' event on February 21, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The new leak does suggest the phone will have a slightly curved back, like the current phone lineup. The images also suggest the camera bump which is present in the current S6 lineup has been flattened. The camera now sits more flush with the back surface, which going by the leaked images, apparently looks like glossy plastic.
With the leaked images, Samsung’s alleged Galaxy S7 Edge was also seen posting a record high Antutu score. Going by the image, the phone bearing model SM-G9350 scores a massive 1,34,704 point on Antutu. It is not clear whether the shown phone is powered by a Exynos 8890 or a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC. If rumours are to believed it is more than likely that Samsung will launch both the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge with both the mentioned SoC. The Exynos variant is supposed to be sold in markets like in India and South-east Asia, whereas the Snapdragon 820 powered variant might be made available in western markets like US.
All previous and current rumours suggest that the Samsung Galaxy S7 will house a 5.1-inch display with and the S7 Edge will house a 5.5-inch display. Both phones with their respective displays are supposed to offer a 2560 x 1440p resolution. It is more than likely that Samsung will be using the latest generation of its Super AMOLED panels for the phone. With the new phones, the company is also expected to showcase its iteration of “3D touch display”. Both phone are expected to offer 4GB of RAM and at least 32GB of on-board storage and the phone might get a micro-SD card slot as well.
While details about the front-facing camera are still unknown, it is rumored that the new S7 lineup will get a 12MP BRITECELL camera. This new camera sensor was unveiled by Samsung last year and is supposed to offer better low light imagery. Samsung claimed that the BRITECELL sensor is 17% thinner than the current gen camera sensors. This might be reason behind the flush camera enclosure on the leaked images we mentioned earlier.
Previous rumours suggested that the phone will be waterproof. According to a latest listing by Zauba, that rumour could indeed be true. The listing suggests that waterproof components of an alleged phone are being shipped from South Korea to India. This news should be taken with a pinch of salt as it does not mean that the components are for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S7 or Samsung phone in general.
