Samsung Galaxy S7 Update: Specs Revealed In Leak Include Camera Module, Black Chassis Look, 12MP Camera
January is nearing its end and February is about to come in, which means the day of the arrival of the most awaited next flagship smartphone from Samsung is near. According to Gadgets 360, the rumored release date of the Samsung Galaxy S7 is on the day before the Mobile World Congress 2016. However, an iDigitalTimes report says that the device's European rollout will be on March 11.
If the earlier rumors are true, the device will be unveiled on Feb. 21. But before it can be officially announced, several leaks have surfaced online, giving fans an idea of what may possibly come with the device.
In a report by Phone Arena, it says that an employee from Samsung passed on information to Korean Internet content provider Naver. It revealed that the Galaxy S7 will have a black chassis to give the device a premium look and feel. It also said that the handset will have a camera greatly capable of handling night shots.
Speaking of camera quality, GSM Arena posted live images of the Galaxy S7 front camera and display surface.
According to the site, the image shows a group of front camera modules with the SM-G930F model name on it. It has been previously revealed that the model name is the device's internal designation. The "F" at the end indicates the regional version.
It's also rumored that the handset will have a 12-megapixel rear camera while the front will have 5 megapixels. It will feature a 5.1-inch QHD resolution display and will have under its hood a Samsung Exynos 8890 chipset with 4 GB of RAM.
As for its inbuilt memory storage, the device is said to have 64 GB, although the iDigitalTimes report also says the device may have variants of 32GB, 64GB and 128GB when it comes to its internal storage options. It will be pre-installed with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box and is expected to come in three color variants which are White Silver, Black and Gold.
Nothing is official yet for the Samsung Galaxy S7 so until the Korean tech company announces the details themselves, it's best to take reports with a pinch of salt.
