As Samsung's smartphone trend goes, the anticipated Galaxy S7 will reportedly come in two variants. The latest leak of the phone as per GSM Arena shows that the upcoming flagship phone of the Korean tech giant resembles its predecessor, the Galaxy S6.
The website also claims that the Samsung is now distributing ITSKINS cases of the future model.
It reveals that two models of the phone are soon to be released, but what's surprising is that the phones are both getting an upsize.
Based on the leaked images, the Galaxy S7 measures 143.37 x 70.8 x 6.94mm, a very slight increase over the Galaxy S6's 143.4 x 70.5 x 6.8mm dimensions. However, it goes against the smartphone trend as the diagram shows a much thicker and wider Galaxy S7.
A second edition of the Galaxy S7, most probably the S7 Edge, can be seen measuring 163.32 x 82.01 x 7.82mm, which is bigger than the 5.7-inch Galaxy S6 Edge+ which only measures 154.4 x 75.8 x 6.9mm.
This means that the S7 Edge will be a massive device for a smartphone as it already comes close to the size of the Galaxy Mega 2.
If reports are indeed true, then no one knows where Samsung is headed with their latest flagship phone, but some websites suggest that this gives the South Korean manufacturer the opportunity to release a Plus variant of the S7 as a six-inch device.
A 6.0-inch Galaxy S7 Plus dwarfs the Note series which has been consistent with its 5.7-inch measurement for three models in a row.
As the trend goes nowadays, people opt for thinner and smaller phones for compatibility and portability purposes hence what the rumored iPhone 7 will be, but Samsung is probably trying to break boundaries and bring back larger smartphones.
C/Net also observed that the diagrams show the home button to be more angular than previous models.
The SIM card slot has also moved to the side of the phone. Rumors are circulating that it is because Samsung is bringing back the MicroSD slot for expandable memory.
The Galaxy S6 draw flak for losing its standard microSD storage along with the removable battery when the Korean tech giant switched from a plastic body to metal.
However, some analysts believe that Samsung is following the lead of Nexus by dropping the microSD slot and widely adopting the fast and reversible USB Type-C port.
These are just a few of the many speculations that the latest addition to the Galaxy series will look like. Earlier rumors state that Samsung will shock their users and release the latest flagship smartphone models by January 2016.
Reports say that the flagship phones will be rolled out at next month's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) expo in Las Vegas.
This means that the latest gadgets will be available for shipping by February, just a month shy of Samsung's traditional launching pad at the Mobile World Congress (MWC).
However, there seems to be no truth to this rumor as the strategy will hurt the sales of its current flagship offering, the GalaxyS6 Edge+, which was just released in August.
Another rumor that arguably all smartphone users would love to come true is that the Galaxy S7 will debut with a lower price than that of its predecessor.
An analyst based in China suggests that the company could lower Galaxy S7's retail price by 10% in order to stay more competitive in the market.
This prediction could be true as Samsung's recent decline in market share and profit involves huge figures and they just appointed a new mobile leader which means the company is undergoing a revamp in its system.
As part of the overhaul, the company recently used an investor conference in Korea to announce a brand new camera technology, including a sensor called Britecell.
Britecell is designed to make low-light camera shots look even better and as obvious as it is, Samsung will most likely incorporate Britecell into the Galaxy S7.
