Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge images leaked yet again

We're pretty sure by now, less than two weeks before the Unpacked Event, you're all hyped up about this year's Galaxy S7. The premium flagship smartphone has been a favorite subject together with the Galaxy Edge and Galaxy Edge+ variants. Like we've been saying over and over again, expect more rumors, leaks, and early sightings about the new phones that we're all still hoping would have a microSD card slot.

The photo above is said to be a first look of the real Galaxy S7 Edge. It could be just be a prototype but the image looks legit. How do we know it's #TheNextGalaxy? Words are in Chinese but there's that SM-G9350 model number we discovered a few months back. However,  SM-G930 is supposed to be for the S7 only while the the phone looks like an S7 Edge. That's an image of an AnTuTu benchmark test results showing a whopping 134,704 score points.

Another leaked image tells us that the Galaxy S7 will have no more of the camera hump as we noticed before. We can still hope for a full-metal body frame but a source said that it won't be aluminum but a magnesium metal frame this time. The phone pictured here doesn't look like it has a glass back panel though. It looks more plastic but that's understandable if it's only a prototype. Phone looks classy in an all-black finish including the camera.

So far, here's what we know about the specs: 5.5-inch (or 5.1- or 5.7-) Super AMOLED screen, Exynos 8890 or Qualcomm S820, 4GB RAM, 12MP camera with f / 1.7 aperture, 5MP or 8MP front-facing camera, 32GB/64GB onboard storage, microSD card slot, and a 3600mAh battery.

We already know that the S7 and the S7 Edge will have better battery life--probably a 17-hour video playback on both the Snapdragon 820 and Exynos model. The camera will boast of a BRITECELL technology that will make images brighter and prove that it's imaging-centric. As for the pricing, it might be the same as last year.

Interestingly, the photo is from a source in Vietnam (don't mind the guava). There's information that both phones will be available in the country on March 18--a few weeks after the March 3 announcement. We're crossing our fingers that this will have that IP67-certification just like the old Galaxy S5.
