UPDATE: Samsung Malaysia is only bringing the S7 edge during launch.

Want to get your hands on the latest Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge? The Malaysian launch for the flagship duo is confirmed for 18th March 2016, a week after its global debut. Nevertheless, the roll out is quite quick with just 25 days to go.

Pre-orders for both devices will be available from 7 to 11 March but they have yet to confirm if Malaysia will be getting the Gear VR bundle promo. The official price for both Galaxy S7 and S7 edge will be revealed on the pre-order day as well. This latest update was confirmed during an interview with Mr. Lee Jui Siang, the VP of Samsung Malaysia.

To recap, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge are now released with 5.1″ and 5.5″ displays respectively pushing Quad HD resolution. Similar to the S6, it features both glass and metal construction with added refinement around the corners. Powering the device for Malaysia is likely to be their latest Exynos 8890 Octa-Core unit that’s mated with 4GB of RAM. On-board we are likely to get 32GB of on-board storage and this time, it is expandable with microSD up to 200GB with its hybrid dual-SIM tray design.

For imaging, Samsung is taking it a notch higher with its dual-Pixel 12MP f/1.7 camera that boasts 95% brighter photos than the Galaxy S6. This also allows quicker focus in demanding low light situation. The front remains a 5MP shooter but it also gets a faster f/1.7 aperture lens. Powering the devices are a 3,000mAh battery for the Galaxy S7 and a larger 3,600mAH for the S7 edge.
