For
a device that’s supposed to be more than six months away, the Galaxy S7 –
codenamed Project Lucky – has started leaking out rather early. We gave you exclusive details on the next Galaxy S flagship earlier this month, and the S7 was found on the Geekbench
benchmark database with a few of its hardware specs listed for all to see. The
model we saw on Geekbench back then carried the LTE tag in its codename and was
using 4GB of RAM, and now, yet another “project lucky” Samsung device has
appeared online, this time with 3GB of RAM and without the LTE tag.
Now,
at first glance this might suggest that Samsung will be launching two different
models, but at this stage of development, it’s highly likely these are simply
different prototypes. Back in 2014 we saw the Galaxy S5 come out with
lower amount of RAM than the Galaxy Note 3 that came out before it, but with
Samsung’s new found focus on offering the best on all its flagships, there’s
very little chance of the company releasing a variant of the S7 with 3GB of
RAM.
Again,
at such an early stage we can’t really say for sure what Samsung will be doing
with its next big thing. As we talked about in our exclusive, the Korean
giant could be launching a Galaxy S7 variant with the Snapdragon 820, at least
for the US market, and the phone could also feature a new 20-megapixel camera
sensor, something called the “all lens cover”, and possibly a microSD slot for
storage expansion.
Project Lucky internally since the number 7 is
universally regarded as a lucky number.
A
new report out of Korea claims that the Galaxy S7 could come with a dual-camera
setup, this isn’t really a new concept because HTC tried to push a dual-camera
setup with the HTC One M8 but it didn’t really do wonders for sales of the
company’s flagship device. Perhaps Samsung believes that it has cracked
the proverbial code and can do a much better implementation of dual-camera
technology on the Galaxy S7. It’s also claimed in the report that the
Galaxy S7 is going to have a 5.7-inch
display,
a big bump up from the 5.1-inch display on the existing flagship, the
possibility has been reiterated by a previous report as well.
Release : around February 2016
