Samsung Galaxy S7 release date, news and gossipy tidbits

Samsung's Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge reinvigorated the thrashing cell phone brand, giving it another lease of existence with a crisp configuration and some fresh out of the box new components.


Samsung must do a ton of work to have the capacity to rehash the trap – however a great deal more can be enhanced in the new telephone, so there's a lot of degree.

We don't hope to see the new handset until mid 2016 however – more often than not Samsung sets aside time out in ahead of schedule March to report its leads at MWC in Barcelona, and we anticipate that it will be the same again this year.

On the other hand, gossipy tidbits about the new telephone are now starting to come in, so here's all that we've gotten as such.

Gotten to the point

• What is it? The following lead telephone from Samsung's Galaxy S line.

• When is it out? Perhaps as ahead of schedule as January 2016, coming up short that most likely at MWC in late February.

• What will it cost? Expect costly – it's sure to be one of the all the more expensive telephones to purchase one year from now.

Samsung Galaxy S7: Our idea


With regards to the new Samsung Galaxy S7, we need to see Samsung leaving from the standard, blocky cell phone plan. What we need this time is something inventive, something that pushes the limits and considers all the amazing innovation Samsung continues promising.

So here's the manner by which we think it ought to shake down: techradar's Galaxy S7, complete with all the innovation Samsung has discussed, with our very own couple twists tossed in…

The primary contrast is, once more, the screen. In the event that Samsung is going to make an accomplishment of the Gear VR, it needs a superior screen, and jumping forward to 8K will make taking a gander at the presentation a pin-sharp affair.

The other enormous thing we're wanting to at long last see is the iris checking innovation that will supersede the unique finger impression scanners we're finding in more telephones. With double hello there res checking cameras on the front, with improved openings, essentially turning the telephone screen on will affirm your character.


The edges of the super-sharp screen are presently appropriately pushed to the side of the telephone, with the warnings now indicating legitimately either side – the S6 Edge has the bends as improvement, however now they're really going to be utilized.
What's more, bass-rich speakers on the top and base will use Samsung's omni-sound innovation to make the telephone a genuine media wonder – no all the more in reverse confronting tinny sound here.
Obviously, TouchWiz still remains… however hey, there's just so much.

Samsung Galaxy S7 – When will it release


One gossip expresses that the Samsung Galaxy S7 could be declared in January, conceivably on January 19. That is not the first we've known about this either, as an expert at SK Securities additionally figures the Galaxy S7 could be disclosed when January for an early February dispatch, while different sources claim Samsung has begun adding to the firmware a month early, which likewise recommends a conceivable early discharge.

This takes after prior data from the South Korean site Newsis, which refers to insider sources who assert that Samsung began take a shot at the Galaxy S7 around 2 to 3 months in front of its standard timetable. So it is credible that the S7 could dispatch early, yet despite everything we'd bring it with a monstrous aiding of salt.

Different sources have guaranteed it will dispatch eventually in February. What isn't clear is whether Samsung will choose to hold up until the end of that month to report at Mobile World Congress or go prior in the month to miss the telephone surge.

Samsung has as of late been divulging its Galaxy S leaders at MWC and discharging them soon after. In 2016 that is February 22-25, so perhaps that will be the point at which we see it.

Samsung Galaxy S7 plan


Given that Samsung has just barely updated its leader configuration for the Galaxy S6 we're not expecting huge changes in the Samsung Galaxy S7. Any progressions on the Galaxy S7 are relied upon to be little with a generally comparative look to the Galaxy S6.

A source near Samsung told The Korea Times, "As the S6 and S6 Edge spoke to advance, the S7 will have enhancements both in picture quality, execution and other some new elements. The key point is can shoppers appreciate content with improved review quality and helped preparing velocity."

There may be a couple changes to the look of both the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, however it appears Samsung needs to keep a to a great extent comparative configuration dialect in all cases.

Then again, a more seasoned talk recommended the Galaxy S7 will be much greater than the Galaxy S6 with a 5.7-inch screen - we're bringing that with a major squeeze of salt however as it sounds very out there.

On top of that the Galaxy S7 may be constructed of an alternate sort of metal. Sources guarantee the organization is trying different things with magnesium based combination that will make the telephone more grounded whilst keeping it light and permits the warmth out when the processor is buckling down. This gossip has appeared again as of late, so it could be exact.

A thin metal and glass assemble appears to be likely and whatever we persuade it's liable to be premium, particularly as there's gossip that the battery won't be removable particularly in light of the fact that making it so would trade off the outline.

Samsung Galaxy S7 screen


Interestingly talk Samsung could offer the Galaxy S7 in two distinct sizes. One with a 5.2-inch screen and one with a 5.8-inch one and as far as anyone knows no less than one of them will have a 4K show. Given there's as of now the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ however we wouldn't hold our breath for a phablet adaptation of the S7.


On the other hand a benchmark accepted to be for the Samsung Galaxy S7 claims it has a 5.7-inch show, so perhaps it will be developing. It records a 1440 x 2560 QHD one however as opposed to 4K.

It would seem that Samsung may adjust a comparative component to the iPhone 6S' 3D Touch innovation. An organization called Synaptics has an innovation called ClearForce that considers distinctive usefulness relying upon how hard you're pushing on the screen.

The Wall Street Journal additionally identifies with "sources acquainted with the matter" who guarantee the innovation will make a big appearance on the Galaxy S7. There's no word on a name for the innovation yet, yet it's looking more likely that Samsung is setting up its own rendition of the screen tech for the following leader telephone.

Another talk expresses that the Galaxy S7 may be accompanying a bended screen. As per production network sources the telephone will be propelling with an adaptable presentation after Samsung put in some enormous requests with Taiwanese makers. That gossip has appeared again all the more as of late.

It may wind up being a different variant of the Galaxy S7 much like with the Galaxy S6 Edge, yet it's intriguing all the same.

Another trademark recording recommends Samsung is dealing with its own particular new super-solid presentation innovation called Turtle Glass. It's set to supplant Corning's Gorilla Glass 3 and we may see it dispatch on the Galaxy S7.

Even talk Samsung will go further and convey a foldable telephone, however this appears to be unfathomably improbable. Regardless of the possibility that the innovation is set up (which is a major on the off chance that) it's dicey that Samsung would hazard something so new and untested on its lead.

Samsung Galaxy S7 adversaries

As of late HTC has been a critical adversary to Samsung, dispatching comparably amazing telephones at around the same time, so we'd expect the HTC One M10could be a Samsung Galaxy S7 opponent. Almost no is thought about it yet however it's certain to be in vogue and prone to be capable.

Other thaazn that there's the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, which are liable to still be offering extremely well by mid 2016, while the Sony Xperia Z6 or whatever Sony's concocting next could take some consideration far from Samsung as well.

Samsung Galaxy S7 camera and battery

Samsung's revealed another BRITECELL camera, which is intended to be both better in low light and littler in size than the snapper on the Galaxy S6. It's not been affirmed whether it's setting out toward the S7, however it appears to be genuinely likely.



Then again there are likewise reports of Samsung identifying with Sony to take a few to get back some composure of the IMX300 sensor that is incorporated into the Xperia Z5 arrangement.

Samsung is so awed with the innovation that it might incorporate it despite the fact that it has been dealing with its own particular sensor - gossip is the Galaxy S7 will have an alternate sensor relying upon the area and model of the telephone.

Another gossip has recommended that Samsung isn't agonizing over megapixels and is rather concentrating on different ranges, for example, how light the photographs are and the span of the sensor itself. As indicated by a tipster on Weibo, Samsung will drop the Galaxy S6's 16MP camera down to a 12MP one on the Galaxy S7.

Beforehand, an AnTuTu benchmark demonstrated a telephone accepted to be the Samsung Galaxy S7 as having a 16MP back camera and a 5MP front-confronting one. Those are the same camera specs as the Galaxy S6, however that has one of the best cell phone snappers around so that wouldn't be such an awful thing. With such a large number of camera bits of gossip however it's difficult to recognize what we're going to get.

There's no word on what size the battery will be yet as indicated by one rumorit won't be removable as it's clearly impractical to have a removable juice pack without trading off the outline. Given that the Samsung Galaxy S6 has a fixed battery this doesn't generally come as any amazement.

Samsung Galaxy S7 OS and force


The Samsung Galaxy S7 will more likely than not dispatch with Android Marshmallow. Truth be told snaps of assumed interior Samsung records in regards to its Android Marshmallow overhaul have advanced onto interpersonal interaction site Weibo, and seem to affirm the supposed Galaxy S7 codename "Jungfrau" and a key spec of the up and coming leader.

Another talk is leaving China recommends Samsung will be adding fluid cooling to the Galaxy S7. It would act against the telephone overheating and depleting the battery or notwithstanding blazing the tips of your fingers.

It would mean Samsung can put higher-spec segments into the Galaxy S7 and its variations without worrying about it overheating. We trust this works out, yet it appears to be something Samsung is likely simply exploring different avenues regarding for the time being.



Samsung's Galaxy S7 is reputed to come in two unique variations – one with an Exynos chipset and another with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820. That Snapdragon 820 gossip has following been resounded by different sources and in a benchmark.

The Snapdragon 820 form has been found by Geekbench's benchmarking recommending the gadget will score a multi-center score of 5423. That is nothing on the reputed Exynos 8890 variant that scores 6908 however it's just barely behind the intense iPad Pro that scored 5468.

The truth the Snapdragon 820 chip is being connected to the Galaxy S7 is fascinating, as Samsung jettisoned Qualcomm's putting forth for the Galaxy S6, rather only utilizing its own Exynos processor. Samsung didn't uncover the thinking in respect to why it picked to do this, yet the present top-level Qualcomm chip - the Snapdragon 810 - has been tormented by reports of overheating and inconsistent execution.

Maybe this is an indication of Qualcomm's arrival to frame in the chipset business sector, in spite of the fact that it's too soon to affirm in any case. However while Qualcomm has been touted as the producer of the Galaxy S7's chip, other benchmark results have spilled onto the web that claim to demonstrate Samsung's next SoC, the Exynos M1, could conceivably control the new Galaxy.

These benchmarks demonstrate the equipment used to make the Exynos M1, and it would seem that it utilizes a progression of custom ARM centers. Intriguingly the benchmarks likewise demonstrate that the Exynos M1 is considerably more capable than the Snapdragon 820 in each viewpoint.

While we'd prompt bringing these benchmarks with a squeeze of salt it would imply that the Samsung Galaxy S7 could be an all the more effective handset in the event that it again disregards Qualcomm's equipment. Whatever processor we get we're hoping to see 4GB of RAM, not minimum on the grounds that the Galaxy S6 Edge+ has that as of now.

Samsung Galaxy S7 other features


A report out of South Korea recommends the Samsung Galaxy S7 may have genuine sound aptitudes, as it could utilize the Saber 9018AQ2M chip from ESS Technology. The chip highlights an a 32-bit versatile sound DAC and has 129 dB sign to commotion proportion, so Samsung could be set to give HTC a keep running for its cash with regards to music.



It's likewise been reputed that the Samsung Galaxy S7 will bolster USB Type-C, permitting it to charge speedier and significance you can connect the link to whichever way round. We'd say this is one gossip that is very nearly ensured to be valid, as more telephones are including USB Type-C support.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 is certain to have a unique mark scanner, much the same as the Galaxy S6.

Another gossip has recommended the Galaxy S7 may accompany microSD backing - something the Galaxy S6 didn't offer - and it'll have backing up to 128GB.

That may mean we see the interior stockpiling alternatives chop down to only 32GB or 64GB however - yet the arrival to microSD is a decent step and means you can have vastly improved control over your stockpiling.

Samsung Galaxy S7 expense


There's no word yet on what the Samsung Galaxy S7 will cost yet we can let you know at this moment that it will be extremely costly. While a value cut would be pleasant we'd be astounded if Samsung propelled it for any short of what it at first charged for the Galaxy S6. On the off chance that we needed to figure we'd say it could begin at up to around £600/$650/AU$1,100.

What we need to see

1. Better battery life

Our greatest issue with the Galaxy S6 was the battery – we found with moderate utilization you could get somewhere around 17 and 18 hours. That is the normal day in case you're on an ordinary rest design yet would you truly like to be strolling that tight rope supposing on the off chance that I watch a film my telephone it's not going to last the entire day?

Samsung need to show improvement over this with the Galaxy S7; notwithstanding relinquishing a tad bit of its freshly discovered configuration certifications to thicken up the handset and stick in a greater cell would have been justified regardless of the additional life. Next time how about we trust it comprehends usefulness overshadows configuration.

2. Convey us to the Edge

We adored the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge – truth be told we think everybody did – it simply accomplished something totally distinctive to whatever is left of the opposition.

We need the same once more, however perhaps something totally off the bat. On the off chance that the bits of gossip about the adaptable presentation handset end up being genuine we could wind up seeing something like the S6 Edge come Q1 2016.

3. Another stride into VR

At the point when Samsung uncovered the Galaxy S6 it additionally reported there would be a newGear VR headsetdesigned to go nearby the new telephone.

Next time around we need Samsung to continue concentrating on VR yet up its amusement considerably facilitate for the Galaxy S7 – whether it be more sensors, more diversions or another method for doing it inside and out we simply need to a greater extent an attention on VR.

Samsung is one of only a handful few organizations doing Virtual Reality comfortable minute and there's no better approach to keep that going than enhancing on an effectively decent item.

4. A cost drop

Samsung's gadgets aren't the least expensive available. One of our reactions of the most recent handset came at the sticker price joined to the telephone and it'd be pleasant to see it drop down a little at the earliest opportunity. Right now Samsung's gadgets are even in a comparable value section to Apple.

It might mean we lose several the pointless components on the telephone however bringing it down a little would be truly decent. Gone ahead Samsung, you can evade the pattern and do it with the Galaxy S7.

5. Drop the unique mark magnet

On the off chance that you have a white S6 you're chuckling, however in the event that you have one of the darker choices you're most likely ending up wiping it with your shirt a ton because of the considerable number of fingerprints appearing on the back.

The white alternative is the best to avoid this yet we shouldn't anticipate that our telephones will be secured in dingy imprints inside of a matter of minutes. How about we deal with it prepared for the Samsung Galaxy S7.

6. Something fresh out of the plastic new

The S6 Edge truly demonstrated to us something else and we need to see that same motivation again from the South Korean organization.

Meanwhile we may not really recognize what we need to see, but rather something to switch up the telephone showcase a little and give it a little kick up the bum it needs.

7. More strong configuration

Very nearly everyone concurs Samsung nailed the configuration of the Galaxy S6, however one major component was absent. The Galaxy S5 had the expansion of a water and dustproof outline so when the Galaxy S6 was declared it was a significant stun the element had been taken out.

Fingers crossed Samsung will want to return it to the Galaxy S7, yet this time in a much more pleasant outline.

8. Slight camera changes

Its a well known fact we cherished the Galaxy S6's camera, however there are a couple of little issues with it we'd wanted to see be enhanced the following handset.

Moderate movement video can look somewhat crude on the handset so we'd affection to see a few enhancements there to see it contend with the wonderfulness of the iPhone 6's moderate mo mode.

It'd additionally be pleasant to get a couple of more downloadable camera modes tossed in on top also - we cherish the reality they're not stopping up the gadget with pointless modes but rather there's insufficient of them at this moment to legitimize the store Samsung has made.

9. Considerably more power

Not that the Galaxy S6 wasn't sufficiently effective, but rather in a year we're going to have a pack of new processors doing the rounds and we need to see the greatest and best in the Samsung Galaxy S7.

Whether it be an in house made Exynos processor or a bounce back to Qualcomm, we wouldn't fret, we simply need the best the organization can discover. Is that an excessive amount to inquire.
