Samsung’s Galaxy S7.

wasn’t long at all after the Galaxy S6 and S6
Edge appeared that speculation started concerning
Samsung’s Galaxy S7. Chief among the rumours
was the idea that Samsung might be releasing their
next flagship sooner than usual, thanks to a
revamped design and manufacture process, which
accounts for all the reports out there. And there
are, of course, a few more rumours floating around.
Use The Force
Like the idea that Samsung’s Galaxy S7 could have
something approximating Apple’s Force Touch/3D
Touch when it launches – somewhere between
December this year and February next year if the
rumours have the straight of it. It could happen
and a company called Synaptics might make it a
reality with a similar-but-not-3D-Touch technology
called ClearForce .
Synaptics may a history of working with Samsung
so it’s not out of the question that we’ll see this in
an S7 handset but the developer might also be
selling their tech to all comers – so Apple’s 3D
Touch may not remain exclusive for very long at
all.
Three Times The Fun
Another report claims that we might see an extra
Galaxy S7 this year. There are usually at least two
at launch, not counting the Edge versions we’ve
seen of late, which use an Exynos and Qualcomm
processor respectively. That’s not going to change.
But there’s still an extra CPU in the mix.
According to SamMobile , Samsung could be looking
at using the Exynos 8890 for Japan, Korea and
Europe’s markets, which the States and China will
get the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chip. We know
about these already. The third version, though, will
reportedly launch in India and will use an Exynos
7422 processor. South Africa being the way it is,
we’ll likely wind up with both the Snapdragon 820
and Exynos 8890 versions on the market here at
home.
