Samsung will likely unveil its next flagship Android smartphone, the Galaxy S7, at Mobile World Congress next month, but we may already know what it looks like.
Surprise, surprise: It'll look very similar to the Galaxy S6, if newly leaked press images of the unreleased phone, from the well-connected Evan Blass (@evleaks), are to be believed.
Writing for VentureBeat, Blass reports the GS7 will indeed come in two screen sizes. The 5.1-inch model will have a flat screen and the larger 5.5-inch model "S7 Edge" will have the curved screen that we saw on the S6 Edge and S6 Edge+.
The displays will stick with the same Super AMOLED panels with QuadHD (2,560 x 1,440) resolution; the screens are said to have an "always on" feature that will let you look at glanceable content without sucking up too much power. Interestingly, Blass makes no mention of a pressure-sensitive screen as previously rumored.
As previously reported, the GS7 will come with Samsung's Exynos 8 8890 octa-core processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor will be available in some regions), 4GB of RAM and two storage capacities (32GB and 64GB). The batteries will remain non-replaceable -- 3,000mAh on the GS7 and 3,600mAh on the S7 Edge; the phones will both support fast wireless charging.
The phone will have a 12-megapixel back camera with a faster f/1.7 aperture lens; the camera module is said to be flush with the back and no longer protruding out. The front camera will be a 5-megapixel selfie camera -- same as on the GS6.
Blass also confirms the return of the microSD card slot for storage expansion (supports cards up to 200GB) and IP67 dust and water-resistance.
Mashable will be reporting from Mobile World Congress next month, where we should hear more about Samsung's next big thing.
