Samsung Galaxy S7: Specifications, Price and Release Date!
The next cab on the rank is the Galaxy S7 smartphone from the Korean manufacturer. This remains the premium handset and is thus of supreme importance to Samsung.
- Display:
The display technology is always a key aspect of any smartphone and is particularly important to Samsung for several reasons. Firstly, the company has come to be particularly associated with screen technology as it has been the largest seller of television since 2008. Secondly, Samsung has pioneered various aspects of display technology in mobiles.
A particular long shot is that Samsung could include a holographic display in the Galaxy S7, with a patent for the technology having already been uncovered. This is extremely unlikely to come to fruition, but it is a tantalizing prospect that one may see soon in the Galaxy S series.
- Design:
Samsung has closed the gap that it had lagged behind Apple in terms of design quality for some time, with recent releases. One important aspect of the Galaxy S7 that one may see is the introduction of waterproofing.
Samsung could also reinstate micro SD, with pressure on the corporation to deliver an increased amount of storage in the Galaxy S7.
- Camera:
Samsung has announced a new camera sensor which can be reasonably expected to be feature in the Galaxy S7. With this the manufacturer can eliminate the unsightly camera bulge that featured in the Galaxy S6, with Samsung recently unveiling the world's first 1.0 micrometre 16MP CMOS image sensor.
This ultra-thin camera unit is based on Samsung's proprietary ISOCELL technology, and enables the device to absorb considerably more light. This will improve the quality of low-light shooting, and the smaller module involved in this camera unit should ensure that the Galaxy S7 is a slimmer than previous iterations of the series.
Samsung is also testing a dual-camera set-up for the Galaxy S7, which is expected to resemble the one found in the HTC One M8. Samsung might also choose to bump up the megapixel rating in both the front and rear-facing cameras as it looks to establish a significant gulf once more between its premium smartphone and the iPhone series.
- Processor:
Samsung will utilize Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor for Galaxy S7s sold in the US and China, and Samsung's own Exynos chip for Galaxy S7s in other markets. This would be a repetition of the policy that the corporation has utilized previously. In line with this rumour, devices have appeared on the Geekbench benchmark database that seemed to support this proposal.
Samsung has also recently announced mass production of new 12Gbit LPDDR4 DRAM chips for mobile devices and these new models run 30 percent faster than current 8Gbit chips, and also consume 20 percent less power. Putting these two outstanding figures together, it certainly suggests that the Galaxy S7 will be an extremely powerful performer.
- Battery:
Reports have suggested that Samsung's research and development department has already delivered a battery that will enable the handset to enjoy a five-day battery life. the Galaxy S7 could have an outstanding battery life when it is released next year with the reports delivered so far.
- Release Date:
The Agile production method that has been adopted by the Samsung has mooted that devices could be developed by the company in a shorter timeframe. The Mobile World Congress that will be taking place in Barcelona in late February next year, an earlier date than usual, the traditional unveiling location for the Galaxy S series, we perhaps shouldn't expect an earlier Galaxy S7 release.
- Price:
It is quite early to possibly discuss the price of the Galaxy S7, but considering that Apple has frozen the iPhone price point with the iPhone 6s, it seems extremely likely that Samsung will follow suit with the Galaxy S7.
