Samsung Galaxy S7 release date, specs &
price rumours – Snapdragon 820 confirmed?
The new iPhones might have just launched, but
let’s talk about something else for a moment. Samsung is apparently already
rather far along in its development process for the new Galaxy S7, which
may even launch months earlier than normal.
Release date
Previous form and a yearly release schedule would suggest that we can expect the phone to go on sale in April 2016. It’s hard to put an exact date on things, as shipment dates can move by a few weeks, but pencil in the first couple of weeks of April as the most likely. That said, we should see the phone before that, as Samsung traditionally announces its new Galaxy phones at MWC in Barcelona, which runs between 22-25th February next year.
Design
To be honest, I’m not expecting many changes on the design front from the Galaxy S7 and expect it to look similar to the existing Galaxy S6. Samsung’s just gone through a massive redesign phase and it makes sense for the company to work with what it’s got at the moment, rather than changing things completely.
