Samsung Galaxy S7 Specs & Features: Korean Giant Company To Use Three Different Processors for Next Flagship?
The brand-new Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and Note 5 phablets are a just a couple of weeks old, but in the world of mobile advancements, tech pundits are already looking ahead to the future.
With Samsung's stock in financial supremacy amid the considerable drop in overall smartphone market sales in the last two years, as per IDC, the company's next-generation flagship is in a perfect position to rejuvenate mobile demands next year, or at least set the bar high for its contemporaries.
From what is known of the Galaxy S7 so far, Android fans already have a lot of reasons to be excited. For one, the handset is said to sport a magnesium alloy build. The corrosion resistant metal is equally durable and light-weight, iNews 24 via G For Games reported.
Now, the latest rumor has suggested that the Galaxy S7 will come in three different processor variants. One will rock Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 while the other two will be fitted with Samsung's Exynos 7422 and Exynos 8890, respectively.
Like LG, Samsung has avoided using the Snapdragon 810 SoC in the majority of its popular devices. The chip is plagued by overheating issues that have tarnished Qualcomm's reputation as well as the many top-tier handsets that are powered by it. That being said, it's fair to conclude that Qualcomm has learned its lesson and would outfit the Snapdragon 820 to be absolutely better than its predecessor. Insiders told SamMobile that the Snapdragon 820 variant of the Galaxy S7 will be available in the U.S. and China.
The Exynos 7422, which was once considered to power the Galaxy Note 5, will be fitted on the Galaxy S7 for the Indian market. Meanwhile, the Exynos 8890 variant will be exclusive for South Korea, Japan and the European markets.
As of the moment, other basic details of the Galaxy S7 have been scarce. There have been rumors claiming that the handset will have a flat as well as a dual-curved edge variant while micro-SD support might return for the Samsung flagship.
A previous Latin Post article reported that the Galaxy S7 will be unveiled in January 2016, and then released a month later in February. The claim was sourced by an unnamed SK Securities analyst. SK Securities is an off-shoot of SK Group, the same conglomerate that supervises SK Telecom, one of the primary mobile carriers in South Korea.
If the source is accurate, the Galaxy S7 will be available to the public just six months after the launch of the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and Note 5.
