Barely a month after launching two high profile smartphones – the Galaxy S6 Edge+ and the Galaxy Note 5 – Samsung is already working on the next generation of Galaxy S series devices. According to SamMobile, the Korean giants will launch two variants of the Galaxy S7, including one with a dual-edge curved display and the other with a normal screen – just like their predecessor.
Samsung has codenamed its upcoming flagship, ‘Project Lucky,’ for internal purposes, while the two variants with model numbers, SM-G930 (regular display) and SM-G935 (curved display) are being called Hero and Hero2. It is not only the display that will differentiate there variants, they will be powered by different processors as well. One version will run on Samsung’s own Exynos 8890 chipset, while the other will feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 SoC. Earlier we had reported that the S7 will come in two size variants as well.
As for the camera sensor, Samsung is still in a testing phase as the company is working on prototypes with a 20-megapixel ISOCELL sensor and dual-camera sensors. Even the upcoming Galaxy flagship is likely to feature Universal Flash Storage 2.0 (UFS 2.0) just like the current Galaxy S6. Two Galaxy S7 models had earlier appeared on Geekbench with 3GB of RAM and 4GB of RAM.
According to the report, the Galaxy S7 will be launched in Korea, Canada, Europe, China and the US. While there is no word on the handset’s launch in other countries, but it is likely that Samsung won’t overlook its existing markets. In the US, Samsung has Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, At&T, Verizon etc. on board while Bell Mobility is going to be Samsung’s official partner in Canada. In Korea, the handset can be bought from KT, LG Uplus and SKTelecom. We are expecting to see the new Galaxy flagship as early as December 2015.
