The hype with the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge hasn't completely died down yet but the attention is now moving on with the tech giant's next flagship product, the Samsung Galaxy S7. The most common question asked is when it will possibly arrive for public view. Apparently, there are no official details but some speculate that it will most likely come around early 2016.

In a report by Tech Gadget Central, the smartphone was initially rumored to be released in March 2016. However, other sources are speculating that it may be launched as early as January and then will be available for order by February. Its rumored release date was based on the previous launch dates of the device's predecessors. Galaxy S6 was launched in 2015 at MWC while Galaxy S5 was released in 2014 at MWC. It's possible that the S7 will also have a similar launch date, which will be during the MWC 2016 scheduled to happen on Feb. 22-25, 2016.

Its release may still be far away but some information regarding it is already making its rounds on the internet, making solid fans thrilled to know more about the new device. According to Neurogadget, the upcoming Samsung S7 is rumored to carry under its hood the Snapdragon 820 version. The source mentioned that the chipset version was sent to Samsung to be tested in the S7.

Another major rumor going around is the smartphone coming in two variants just like the S6. Value Walk stated that the next generation handset has been prearranged internally by Samsung as SM-G930 and SM-G935, indicating that there will be two separate products that will be released soon. There's no verification yet on the names of the two devices but fans are calling it Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. One will feature a flat display while the other one will have a dual-edge curved display

Further details are expected to surface in the coming months, assuming the release date rumor is true. Thus, fans will have to watch out and stay tuned for updates.
