Samsung Galaxy S7 News: Cases for Upcoming Phone Leaked Online, Will Look Similar to Galaxy S6
The Samsung Galaxy S7's design may already be known because casemakers are already offering protective cases for the smartphone that has not been officially announced yet.
Leaked pictures of cases that are being made for the Galaxy S7 show what the phone might end up looking like, 9 to 5 Google reports.
According to the retailer DH Gate, which is selling these cases, there will be two sizes for the Galaxy S7, one normal size and one large size.
The "dummy" unit inside the cases in the pictures has a square-shaped home button and a camera that sticks out of the back of the phone.
The Galaxy S7 Plus is expected to have a huge 6-inch screen while the Galaxy S7 is expected to be just 5.2 inches.
The pictures of the cases show cut-outs for a microSD slot, a micro USB port for charging, headphone jack and a speaker grill on the bottom.
On the sides of the device, there will be a volume rocker on the left and a power button on the right.
The Galaxy S7 is expected to use a Qualcomm processor again. The Galaxy S6 utilized Samsung's own Exynos processor after overheating problems were reported with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chip. Qualcomm has reportedly created their best chip yet with the Snapdragon 820 and Samsung will go back to using Qualcomm for its phones again.
The bulging camera is a bit surprising because it means that Samsung has made some sort of upgrade to a different sensor for the camera in the Galaxy S7. This could mean higher quality pictures for the Galaxy S7.
The cases being sold on DH Gate are very cheap, under two dollars and could be incorrect. Buyers should wait until a reputable casemaker like OtterBox or Spigen comes out with a case based on the real design of the Galaxy S7.
The Galaxy S7 is expected to be released in Quarter 1 of 2016 at a price between $500 and $600.
