Oh dear, the Samsung Galaxy S7 hasn’t even been unveiled yet and we already have a hands-on video. I guess some secrets simply won’t stay secret as Android Authority’s “gadget ninja” has given the some spec details as well as a couple of images plus a 14-second video of the upcoming Samsung flagship.
According to Android Authority, their source claims that the Galaxy S7 is indeed water resistant (IP68/IP67 rating) — as we found out earlier — and it will come preloaded with Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box. Besides that, the device’s lights will be kept on courtesy of a 2,800 mAh battery.
For optics, their source claims that the smartphone has a 12-megapixel shooter, though, despite the smaller megapixel size, it does have larger pixels similar to that on the Nexus 6P and 5X — or if you want to stretch the comparison, HTC‘s UltraPixel unit.
The current Galaxy flagships all have fantastic cameras, so we doubt that this one will be the unit to let it down, even if it uses Samsungs new and untested BRITECELL technology. In fact, it is even supposed to improve the smartphone’s low-light capabilities.
All that is nice and dandy but we think the spec that Samsung fans will be most excited for is the return of the microSD card slot. As shown in the image above, the tray has clear labels that one section is for the SIM card while the other is reserved for a microSD card slot. However, there is no SIM 2 option so it seems very unlikely that the Galaxy S7 will have support for a dual-SIM configuration.
That said, despite the claims that the 12MP BRITECELL snapper can vastly reduce the camera hump, it appears that the S7 still has that square protruding unit that is sticking out from all the current Galaxys. That said, we can’t say for sure whether this will protrude as much as the current ones based on the angle of the shot.
Finally, what seals the deal that this is very likely a legit Galaxy S7 is the curved Note5-esque back. We liked the curve as it helped the device fit better in our hand, something that you won’t find on the current Galaxy S6/S6 edge.
Other than that, the phone is almost identical to the current Galaxy S6, so much so that from the front they look almost indistinguishable. Software wise, the UI looks very similar to that of the current TouchWiz, though it does look like a lighter skin.
The Flipboard is still present on the left side of the screen, though. We didn’t get to take a peek at the notification quick-access, so we can’t tell what that looks like.
Keep in mind that this is still not an official video or release so we won’t know exactly how accurate this leak is until the smartphone gets launched on 21st February. Keep it locked to SoyaCincau.com because we will be there covering the event live.
