A new Samsung Galaxy S7 leak has revealed a host of exciting features for the South Korean giant's next flagship mobile.
The Galaxy S7 release date is expected to be during Barcelona's Mobile World Congress in February, so it's not surprising that rumors about the phone have started pouring in.
According to The Verge, the latest word, or rather, photo on the grapevine shows the smartphone's full specifications for one of the Galaxy S7 variants. The photo leak appears to be that of the Galaxy S7 Edge+, and if it's correct, then it could very well replace the S6 Edge+.
Currently, the Galaxy S6 and the S6 Edge sport a 5.1-inch screen, while the S6 Edge+ and the Galaxy Note 5 use a 5.7-inch screen. The leaked S7 Edge+ purportedly leaked photo reveals a 5.7-inch, 2560x1440 screen like that of the S6 Edge+. However, it remains unclear whether a curved or flat display is shown in the photo released this weekend.
A different rumor reported by GSM Arena supports the leaked photo of the 5.7-inch S7 model.
Meanwhile, other leaked specifications from the photo include a 12.2-megapixel rear camera, a 5-megapixel front camera, 4GB of RAM and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 chip.
Previous Samsung-related leaks from a reliable site also revealed the names of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Models, according to a Forbes report. They include the Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7+, Galaxy S7 Edge and the Galaxy S7 Edge+.
Other features of the Galaxy S7 are still unknown, but reports earlier this year have shown possible features including a pressure-sensitive screen, a USB Type-C port and a retina scanner.
Many rumored features also include the highly anticipated Force Touch feature, which would allow the Galaxy S7 to base its responses from the amount of force the user puts on the screen. If this happens to be true, Samsung's next lineup could become one of the most convenient phones on the planet since it would provide more accurate use for phone-based pay systems such as Android Pay.
The new Galaxy S7 line up is also expected to be on Android Marshmallow, which could boast a darker theme with sharper text as compared to the Galaxy phones running on Lollipop (Version 5), according to the Inquisitr.
The S7 is also rumored to have new technology like a wider sensor for the camera to capture more light and have more accurate auto-focus, which will likely get ahead of the iPhone's camera if true.
The new Samsung Galaxy S7 photo leak, as well as other reports regarding the phone, certainly looks phenomenal, but as in everything else on the internet, this report should be taken with that proverbial grain of salt.
We can only know for sure what's ahead for Samsung fans once the company officially releases the smartphone lineup.
