Samsung is reportedly working on the upcoming Galaxy S7. We’ve heard quite a lot about the handset over the past few weeks.
According to a new rumor, Samsung has started the development on the firmware of the alleged Galaxy S7, which is expected to launch early next year.
Early Firmware Development
The folks at SamMobile report that Samsung has started working on the firmware of the upcoming flagship device slightly earlier than usual. This may complement the previous rumors hinting at the launch of the handset a little earlier, possibly in February 2016 instead of the Mobile World Congress. This early start in firmware development could be a strategic move by Samsung to ensure that the Galaxy S7 is polished and ready for market ahead of its competitors.
Rumors suggest there are going to be two variants of the handset when it launches next year, possibly a simple version as well as the curved screen version. This dual-variant strategy has been successful for Samsung in the past, particularly with the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, which catered to different segments of the market. The curved screen version, often referred to as the “Edge” variant, has been particularly popular for its unique design and additional functionality.
Expected Specifications and Features
As for the processor, it’s likely to come with Exynos 8990, which has reportedly entered mass production. The Exynos 8990 is expected to offer significant performance improvements over its predecessors, with better energy efficiency and enhanced processing power. This could make the Galaxy S7 one of the most powerful smartphones on the market upon its release.
In addition to the processor, there are speculations about other high-end features that the Galaxy S7 might include. These could range from an improved camera system, possibly with dual-lens technology, to enhanced battery life and faster charging capabilities. Samsung has been known to push the envelope in terms of smartphone innovation, and the Galaxy S7 is expected to continue this trend.
There are no confirmations from Samsung about the alleged flagship device, but we’ve heard quite a lot about the handset. The leaks are bound to increase in the next few weeks, if the company is planning to announce it in February. Historically, Samsung has kept a tight lid on its flagship devices, but as the launch date approaches, more details are likely to emerge through various channels.
Another interesting aspect to consider is the software that will accompany the Galaxy S7. Samsung’s TouchWiz interface has seen significant improvements over the years, becoming more streamlined and user-friendly. The Galaxy S7 is expected to run on the latest version of Android, possibly Android 6.0 Marshmallow, with further refinements to the TouchWiz interface to enhance user experience.
We’ll update you as soon as we get any other information about the alleged Galaxy S7. The anticipation for Samsung’s next flagship is building, and it will be interesting to see how it stacks up against other upcoming smartphones from competitors like Apple, Google, and Huawei.
