Samsung will unveil its next-generation flagship smartphones on Feb. 21. The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge have been spotted on Zauba and Geekbench, which reveal some of the pair's specs.
With Feb. 21 fast approaching, rumors of what we can expect LG and Samsung to unveil at their scheduled press events have been leaking on an almost daily basis. LG will reportedly announce the successor to its current flagship LG G4, with the LG G5. The smartphone is believed to adopt an all-metal case that will feature a modular design that will allow users to easily replace the handset's removable battery via a drawer-like slot, in addition to gaining the secondary display currently used in the company's LG V10 smartphone.
Samsung will take the stage the same day as LG and unveil the successors to its current Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, in the form of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. The overall design of the smartphones are expected to be very similar to that of the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge and users will also see the return of a microSD expansion slot this time around.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 recently made an appearance on Geekbench, and many of the smartphone's specs were detailed in the benchmark. The report claims the Galaxy S7 will boast a 5.1-inch 2,560 x 1,440 Quad HD display, 12-megapixel rear camera, and 5-megapixel front-facing shooter for selfies and video chat. The handset tested featured a Samsung Exynos 8890 processor, 4 GB of RAM, and was running Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy S7 Edge and Galaxy S7 were both spotted on Zauba, an import site where they were listed by their model numbers of (SM-G935R4) and (SM-G930R4). The report notes that Samsung will use a 5.5-inch display in the Galaxy S7 Edge, while it backed up previous claims that the standard Galaxy S7 will use a 5.1-inch screen.
