The Samsung Galaxy S7 is expected to have its curtain call in 2016 with fans eagerly waiting to see how the upcoming Galaxy flagship would fare against its predecessors.
With anticipation on the device seemingly increasing based on a number of leaks that have been popping up recently, it may be a little difficult to come up with a solid understanding of the Galaxy S7's purported specs and features.
The most recent information comes from an AnTuTu benchmark test result posted on Weibo, which somehow adds more weight to the previous rumors surrounding the next Galaxy flagship.
According to the test result, the Galaxy S7 will run on the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 and will come equipped with Adreno 530 graphics. The model number was listed as SM-G935A and the OS was identified as Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Earlier leaks have suggested that the Galaxy S7 will either be running on Snapdragon 820 or Samsung's own Exynos 8890 octa-core processor. The latter is believed to perform better based on a separate Geekbench test report, which showed it reaching 2,294 on a single core test and 6,908 on multi-core. Snapdragon 820, however, reached 2,456 on the single core while the multi-core test result only showed a mere score of 5,423.
The new AnTuTu benchmark result also shows the upcoming Galaxy S7 as being designed with a 5.1-inch display with a pixel resolution of 1,440 x 2,560. This can sound a little surprising since the Galaxy S6 carries the same screen size and pixel resolution.
As for the Galaxy S7's camera features, the result hints that it will have a 12-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front snapper.
It should be noted that past rumors have said the Galaxy S7 will boast a 20-megapixel camera and will also feature Samsung's brand new ISOCELL sensor. The company is rumored to launch a new GigaPixel feature that will allow Samsung fans to capture images with enhanced accuracy and clarity.
Oddly enough, Samsung is also allegedly trying to convince Sony to allow the Galaxy S7 to be equipped with the IMX300 sensor found among the Xperia Z5 handsets.
Other notable highlights revealed from the benchmark test include 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of ROM, but it remains to be seen if these are indeed the final specs.
The new Galaxy S7 is expected to release officially at the MWC which is scheduled to occur in February.
