It is in exactly one month the full swing MWC in Barcelona. And like every year, Samsung will benefit from the high mass of the mobile to present his new flagship phone, the Galaxy this year S7. As every year also, the new high-end Samsung smartphone has not escaped the many rumors surrounding it. It is time to take stock of what’s in store Samsung this year. Here’s everything we know, or think they know, the Galaxy S7.
A very design close to Galaxy S6
The Galaxy S6 marked a major break in the design of the Galaxy Galaxy S. For S7, so do not expect big changes. In any case the assertions of the many rumors since last December. Galaxy S7 should be a mixture of glass and metal. The front and back of the phone will be much glass, surely protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 4, while slices of the unit will be metal. The touch should be identical to the Galaxy S6.
The grip should however be slightly different. Like the Galaxy Note 5, the back of the device should be rounded to better hold in hand. Still in the back, it is expected that the camera always exceeds the phone. In its basic version, the Galaxy S7 should indeed be 143 × 70.5 × 7.9 to 8.7 mm. A thin phone, so, but would still leave the camera beyond.
Samsung, apparently, taken into account comments from users. If the battery still does not seem removable, the Galaxy should S7, unlike the S6, carry a microSD card port. This microSD slot also was among the first rumors to emerge around the phone. Some media are also to say that the Galaxy S7 will embark microSD cards with a maximum capacity is 2TB. Since we are in slices, it is rumored that Samsung would rid the infrared port, which allowed the smartphone also serve as a remote control to a TV.
Variants with large screens and the return of the seal
Also in the improvements requested by the users, it seems that the Galaxy S7 marks the return of the sealing on high-end phones of the brand. As the Galaxy S5, S7 and should benefit from IP protection IP 67, enabling it to be water resistant to a depth of one meter. . A strong argument for Samsung at a time when the iPhone is still not the
If so we know most of the design of Galaxy S7, there is still a great unknown: the number of Samsung will market models. For now, it is almost certain that two models of Galaxy S7 will be announced in February. The first is a Galaxy S7 “classic”, a smartphone screen “flat” of 5.1 inches and dimensions described above. The second would be a Galaxy S7 edge. Unlike last year, there would be a 5.5-inch smartphone whose screen would be curved on both sides. Its dimensions are assumed 151 × 73 × 7.9 to 8.7 mm. Two versions of the phone in order to best meet the demands for large and small smartphones, as does Apple currently.
Finally, these two models are potentially would add a third model, a Galaxy S7 edge + . A smartphone 5.7 inch screen with curved sides. Although this third model is discussed more and more often, it would be surprising to see the Samsung Galaxy replace as quickly S6 + edge out last August in the world. A mystery that should be clarified at the Samsung press conference.

A screen with an AMOLED panel without 4K
The Galaxy S7 display should to be frank surprise. Samsung, like LG, had clearly announced last year, 2016 will still not be the year of 4K screens on smartphones. So we should find on the Galaxy qHD Super AMOLED S7 a screen, similar to last year. We will not complain, it was one of the best displays of last year.
Samsung, however, could surprise us by introducing on its screens Touch Force technology. It is in any case very seriously the assertions of the Wall Street Journal, yet unaccustomed to this kind of gossip. The assumption, however, has nothing wacky, since the company that deals with this technology, Synaptics, announced a few months ago the launch of production of controllers for integrating the Touch Force to Android smartphones.
Two variants of SoC?
While all Galaxy S6, including out later in 2016, were equipped with the same – very good – SoC, the Exynos 7420, it seems that this is more the case for the Galaxy S7. If you believe the rumors, Samsung is preparing to market indeed Galaxy S7 equipped with Exynos 8890 and other equipped with a Snapdragon 820. Or, at least, Samsung has tested the first versions of its Galaxy S7 with a Snapdragon 820. On many occasions.
Indeed, it is not clear how Samsung will distribute both SoC on both phones. One for the Galaxy S7 and the other for the Galaxy S7 edge? The one for Asia and one for the US or Europe? Mystery for now. One thing is certain, it is amazing to see Samsung to use the Snapdragon 820 in one of its phones while its Exynos 7420 proved he could be much better than its US rival chip.
In terms of performance, there is anyway not too much trouble to do. If one has not tested the Exynos 8890, it already promises high-flying performance. As for the Snapdragon 820, which we have already tested last year, the question will be whether or not he inherited bad habits from heating its predecessor, the Snapdragon 810. In all cases, the performance of both SoC Heralding close enough for now.
Marshmallow will be there, no doubt
The introduction of the Galaxy S7 will be an opportunity for Samsung to unveil its first smartphone running Android 6.0 natively installed Marshmallow. There is also no doubt that this will be the version of the Android OS and not another. What is found elsewhere on first benchmarks.
About TouchWiz, Samsung’s interface on their Android phones, we must admit that the rumors about him are pretty slim. As every year, we talk of a cure weight loss of the overcoat, both less greedy and less invasive. But Samsung had already made great progress with the Galaxy S6. This year, vague rumors spoke of a collaboration between Google and Samsung, so as to make smartphones the second most fluid possible. Not until the MWC for more
Camera. The definitive end of the race for pixels
We praised the Galaxy S6 camera. It was both responsive, particularly loyal and impressive quality. And this excellent 16 MP camera … should be replaced on the Galaxy S7. Rather, he should make way for a new generation sensor, using the Britecell technology.
In this new sensor back, we still know little about. It should embark 12 million pixels (against 16 on the Galaxy S6) and provide brighter images. The Britecell technology should also reduce the pixel size of the sensor and thus its overall size, which however should not prevent this sensor exceed the back of the device.
Responses from February 21 next
Design virtually unchanged, improved performance, reduced software side and let new camera today S7 think that the Galaxy will not mark major advances against the Galaxy S6. Samsung has kept in pretty much the same device as the Galaxy S6, but with changes which will fall mainly under the hood. A new device which, combined with the introduction of variants with larger screens, is not unlike the policy of S Apple iPhone.
Samsung should formally unveil its new Galaxy from the S7 21 February, on the occasion of its traditional Unpacked press conference to be held the old opening of the MWC. Naturally we will be there to cover the event and take the phone in hand. The event can also be followed from the sofa as broadcast live via video streaming
