Samsung Galaxy S7 Release Date News: Development May Be Completed by December 2015
Korean phone manufacturer Samsung may be employing a new tact when it comes to the development of its next flagship device, the Galaxy S7. Samsung may be using a new methodology called "Agile" for the development of its devices, starting with the Galaxy S7, according to reports.
This new methodology reportedly will allow for a quicker development process. In the case of the S7, it may mean that the device's development will be done by the end of 2015, which also means that it may launch earlier than the rumored February 2016 launch. An early 2015 launch may be feasible with the new methodology, Tech Times reported.
An Asia Today report said that Samsung is no longer using the "Waterfall" method that it previously used. This method "follows a precise plan of development and does not have any room for alterations when a stage is completed."

Samsung reportedly wants to use the "Agile" method, whch gives more room for slight adjustments when needed. It "breaks various aspects of a device development in small parts." As soon as a module is finished, it is then tested subsequently "to make the overall process quicker."
Samsung's flagship devices, especially the Galaxy S series, are among the most awaited flagship devices in the market. According to an earlier Tech Times report, Samsung is said to be testing two variants of the S7: one with the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and the other with Samsung's own Exynos processor. Given Samsung's experience with overheating Qualcomm processors, the company seems to be making sure that it will not happen with the S7.
One leak claims that the Galaxy S7 is already being tested on the newest Android OS, called Android M. No other rumors have been circulating about the new phone's specs so far.
