Samsung’s

Galaxy S7 All the Rumors

We Know

A tale of two processorsSamsung recently announced that its Exynos 8 Octa chip will combine an LTE modem and processor into the same chip, a first for the company. Samsung hasn’t confirmed that the Exynos 8 will be the exclusive chip for the Galaxy S7, and a report by SamMobile says that Qualcomm may win a spot back into the device. If Qualcomm’s 820 processor does find its way into the S7, it’ll likely be for specific markets and carriers, and won’t be in all S7 devices.Image credit: Samsung.

A cheaper Galaxy SChinese analyst Pan Jiutang believes Samsung may drop the price of the Galaxy S7 by up to 10%, compared to the S6. The initial starting price for the off-contract S6 was about $679 and $779 for the S6 Edge, but Samsung dropped the prices late this year to $579 for the S6 and $679 for the S6 Edge as demand for the phones fell.

Early launch ET News recently reported that Samsung may debut the Galaxy S7 in January, compared to the usual March timeline. This wouldn’t be an unprecedented move for Samsung, which launched the latest Note 5 earlier than usual. Samsung may be looking to head off sales of Apple’s iPhones by releasing its new flagship smartphone ahead of the typical timeline. Image credit: Samsung.

Samsung recently revealed its new BRITECELL camera technology, which allows its smartphone cameras to take brighter pictures in low light conditions. The tech will also reduce the image sensor size by 17%, and will be paired with the company’s new Smart WDR tech. The new feature takes multiple image exposures and combines them into one image. The camera will also have a new phase detection autofocus to take great pictures even when objects are moving or in the distance.

Stronger body and 3D Touch-like displayThe body of the Galaxy S6 uses aluminum, but a report from Korean publication iNews24 says that the S7 could come with a slightly stronger magnesium alloy body. And according to I Ice Universe on Weibo, Samsung may bring similar features that the iPhone 6s’ 3D Touch offers, by using Synaptics' ClearForce technology in the Galaxy S7 display.Image credit: Samsung.

South Korean publication Asia Today says that Samsung might offer a 5.2-inch and 5.8-inch display for the S7. Other reports peg the sizes at 5.1 inches and 5.7 inches.
