Samsung Galaxy S7: ‘Waterproof’ components and specifications http://54.152.129.122/index.php/2016/02/10/samsung-galaxy-s7-waterproof-components-and-specifications/ http://54.152.129.122/index.php/2016/02/10/samsung-galaxy-s7-waterproof-components-and-specifications/#respond Wed, 10 Feb 2016 12:56:08 +0000 http://smartphonetechie.com/?p=17223 There are only about two weeks to go before the big MWC 2016 event in Barcelona which will see the South Korean firm, Samsung release its latest phone the Samsung Galaxy S7. There are also rumors that the Galaxy S7 Edge will also be launched on the same day. Of course, the Samsung Galaxy S7 price in Pakistan will not come cheap according to some.

Rumor has it last year that unlike the Galaxy S6, the new arrival- the Galaxy S7 and the S7 Edge would both be waterproof and with the waterproof components listed online seem to support this speculation. Although we will have to wait for the launch to confirm whether or not the phones will be waterproof, for now, we can only swim in the speculations that are making rounds over the internet of the listed waterproof components.

Waterproof components

 Among the waterproof components expected are the microphone and the SIM tray. Of course, we will have to wait to understand whether or not we are to expect literally waterproof components or just water resistant ones.  The Samsung Galaxy S7 price in Pakistan though is one that many are anxiously waiting for. there is an adamant possibility that the new phone will be on the rather expensive side. There are those, however, holding out for a lower price compared to the Galaxy S6.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Specifications

 Some of the rumored specifications for the Galaxy S7 include a 5.1-inch screen. Although there are also rumors of a 5.5 or  5.7-inch screen; the screen is expected to be of the Super AMOLED variety while the pixel resolution on offer is expected to be of Quad HD (1440 X 2560 pixels). As for its processor, the S7 is supposed to be either powered by Samsung’s Exynos 8890 or the Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 processor. The RAM is expected to be 4GB while the battery should be on the large side, complete with 12 MP rear cameras.

It is also rumored the phone will come with a MicroSD card slot for added memory. As for the charging system, it is expected to be wireless fast charging, with capabilities of the phone filling up in a matter of minutes.  The Samsung Galaxy S7 price in Pakistan is expected to be pricey.

At the WMC event in Barcelona, besides the Samsung Galaxy S7, also expected to be launched is the Galaxy S7 Edge, with the Edge taking on a rather curved design. Compared to the Samsung Galaxy s6 and going by speculations from analysts, the Samsung Galaxy S7 price in Pakistan could be slightly lower for the phone to remain competitive with other phones on the market but this remains to be seen.

Perhaps topmost in most people’s minds is the Samsung Galaxy S7 price in Pakistan. Will it be affordable to the masses or will it be for the select few?

Expected Samsung Galaxy S7 price in Pakistan

Samsung has already begun sending out invites for its next event that will see the unveiling of the phone later in the month. Much as a sneak-peak of the phone looks much like the Samsung Galaxy S6, there are a number of differences to be found in the new phone. As the flagship phone from Samsung’s Galaxy S line, the Samsung Galaxy S7 price in Pakistan should not come as a surprise if it is on the expensive side. In fact, chances are pretty high that it could be one of the more expensive phones to be unveiled this year.

As if the new phone release is not great news, there is also news of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge being released soon as well-perhaps on the same day! The MWC 2016 is set to be kicked off in style not only with Samsung’s release of the S7 but also with the likes of ZTE and LG showcasing what they have to offer.  Barcelona come February 21st should be packed with plenty of excitement as we await the new products the South Korean firm has to offer and those that may be making an entrance from other firms as well.

Here is a teaser of Samsung Galaxy S7 for our readers.

For those itching to get their hands on the phone, rumor has it that the phone could go on pre-order on the day of the launch. There are rumors that pre-orders should be filled in the following two weeks after the day of the launch but that remains to be seen. And since Samsung Galaxy S7 Price in Pakistan is already therefore, a lot of people are already set for the pre-order.

Design

 As for the phone’s design; considering that the South Korean firm has only recently overhauled the Galaxy S6 flagship design, rumor has it that we should expect only a few tweaks to the Galaxy S7 and that it will more likely look similar to the S6 with only a few minor changes.

Samsung Galaxy S7 price in Pakistan

In comparison with the Galaxy S7 Edge, again, rumor has it that the Galaxy Edge with only have slight differences from the S7 Edge, something that may not impress many buyers, especially if as anticipated the  Samsung Galaxy S7 price in Pakistan   is on the relatively high side.

What to Expect?

 Besides expecting a high Samsung Galaxy S7 price in Pakistan, the Galaxy S7 is rumored to have improved picture quality, performance and come packed some new features that will set it a world apart from the other flagship phones in the S series. The processing speed is expected to be greater and the quality of content is expected to be phenomenal!

The Galaxy S7 screen sixe is expected to being the 5.7 inch neighborhood (although there are other rumors that it could actually be 5.1 inches) while the pixel resolution is expected to be 1440 x 2560.

It is the time of the year when different OEMs are all set to announce their new flagship devices. And from different leaks and rumors we suggest that Samsung is all set to announce its 2016 flagship device; Samsung Galaxy S7. Eveleaks have revealed the back design of Samsung Galaxy S7 and it looks like that Samsung will keep the Note 5 glass back design for its new flagship device and all the variants of S7 will have the same design.

According to previous rumors, Samsung will announce 4 different variants of its new flagship. Samsung Galaxy S7, S7 Plus, S7 Edge and S7 Edge Plus will be launched officially all over the world in a few weeks time. It was also rumored that the company has decided to go with Snapdragon 820 for S7 and possibly there will two different versions; one with Snapdragon and other one with homemade processor of Samsung.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Official Announcement

Finally we have some official new as well. According to South Korean giant, company will announce its 2016 flagship device on 21st Feburary. So, practically we are just three weeks away from the official announcement of Galaxy S7.

We have just entered 2016 and we have already received multiple Samsung Galaxy S7 rumors. Last week we heard that Samsung will launch four different variants of its 2016 flagship. A 5 inch Samsung Galaxy S7, a 5.5 inch Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and two different variants of 6 inch Samsung Galaxy S7.

With Samsung planning to launch four different variants it is quite confusing how company will manage the specifications of these variants to make them stand out not from each other but also from the flagship devices of other companies?

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Plus Specifications

With all the rumors going around today we have received an image on the Internet which clearly points out the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Plus Specifications. The below image shows a hardware information application running on a Samsung SM G93, which is allegedly supposed to be Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge+. If we look at the image it is quite clear that it will come with a 5.7 inch QHD screen which is similar to the previous generation Galaxy Edge smartphone.

This image also reveals another important information. The GPU used in the smart is Adreno 530 which hints that Samsung is heading back to its old strategy of offering two different variants of the flagship;one with Snapdragon and other one with the homemade Exynos. So, it is quite possible that we will have Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge+ running on Snapdragon 820 soc.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge+ Specifications

The image also shows that smartphone will 4 GB of RAM. However, we have no information on the microSD card yet. There were certain rumors going around that Samsung is planning to bring back the microSD card support but till now we do not have any authentic or legitimate news on this.

Having said that camera is the only department that will come under a lot of criticism. According to hardware information image, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge+ will have 12.2 MP camera which is stripped down version of the current 16 MP on Samsung Galaxy S6. However, the company is working on a new camera technology and as tech a guy I am really interested to see how it will perform.

We even have some information about their model numbers as well. One with flat display will carry a model number SM-G930 while the one with edge display will carry model number SM-G935. Both these smartphones will be launched internationally primarily targeting the Europe and Asian market.

Samsung has already started working Samsung Galaxy S7 and according to some reliable sources we will gt microSD card support back with the all new Samsung Galaxy S7. Honestly speaking it is the most missed feature in the current flagship of Samsung. This time around Samsung will go with Snapdragon 820 since it is reckoned as the fastest processor and the most efficient one when it comes to battery life.

Company has started working on this project and it is code named as project Lucky whereas the two devices are named Hero and Hero2.
