As we inch closer to MWC 2016 and the expected debut of Samsung’s new lineup of flagship Android phones, there’s a lot of speculation about what the new Galaxy S7 family will look like. According to a new leak, it’ll be similar to the 2015 lineup.
Evan Blass, aka @evleaks, has shared an image that suggests that Samsung is prepping a standard Galaxy S7, a Galaxy S7 edge, and a Galaxy S7 edge+. No other information about the devices is included in the image, which appears to be taken from some promotional material.

While today’s leak doesn’t include any spec details for Samsung’s new flagships, another recent leak did. According to that report, the Galaxy S7 will have a 5.1-inch and the Galaxy S7 edge will have a 5.5-inch screen, both at a resolution of 2560x1440. If Samsung is prepping both a Galaxy S7 edge and a GS7 edge+, though, it’d be kind of strange to see a 5.5-inch GS7 edge and then a larger GS7 edge+. Perhaps the standard GS7 edge will have a 5.1-inch display like the GS6 edge, while the GS7 edge+ will have the 5.5-inch screen? We’ll just have to wait and see.
Other rumored Galaxy S7 specs include either an octa-core Exynos 8 Octa 8890 or octa-core Snapdragon 820 processor (depending on market), 12-megapixel rear and 5-megapixel front cameras, 4GB of RAM, 32/64GB of storage, a microSD slot (which the GS6 lacked), a 3000mAh battery, and a body that’s dust and water resistant. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S7 edge will reportedly have the same specs but a bigger 3600mAh battery. It’s also rumored that the Galaxy S7 might include a pressure-sensitive display and USB Type-C.
If the Galaxy S7 rumors come true, will you consider buying Samsung’s new flagship Android smartphone?
