As a result, here are specifications that people would want to see in the next release of the Samsung Galaxy S series.

Possible S8 Design

Metal and glass combination has been a winner in the Samsung smartphone franchise, so there’s huge possibility that it won’t change a lot. A removable battery could perhaps make a big difference, if they really think this is necessary. Moreover, a faster or wireless charging options can be a great advantage for Samsung.

Expected Resolution and Screen Size

A 4K display can be a good upgrade for the resolution. In fact, this can be a total improvement as other phones can only consider this over the top. Another enhancement that Samsung needs to focus on is the size. So instead of the regular 5.1-inch screen that the company is accustomed at creating as can be seen on previous Galaxy S models, the release of the S7 Edge has been revolutionary at 5.5 inches. Hence, people are trying to see the possibility if this trend should follow in the next release.

Possible S8 Camera Upgrades

It will be likely that the S8 will release a series of camera upgrades, just as rival smartphone manufacturers like Apple and LG are doing with the release of their dual-camera setup. So dual-camera lens modules should likely be featured on the next release of its S series.

Release Dates

The expected release dates can vary from one region to another. However, the usual release date that Samsung favors heavily belong to the months of February and March.

Variants

Previous rumors had stated that the Galaxy S7 will come in two variants, the standard S7 and the S7 Edge. However, the latest leaks show that there will likely be three models: the two mentioned above along with the S7 Edge+. The standard version is expected to have a flat 5.2-inch screen, while the S7 Edge is rumored to have the same size but with a curved screen. The S7 Edge+ is said to have a curved 5.5-inch screen.

Exciting features

If the rumors are to be believed, the Galaxy S7 wouldn’t be “just another smartphone”. For one thing, it’s said to have an expandable memory, which isn’t present in the popular Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. The S7 is said to accommodate a microSD of up to 200GB capacity, making it great for those who want to keep lots of pictures, videos, songs, and movies.

The new smartphone is also expected to have a powerful battery, with a 3000mAh battery for the standard S7 and a 3600mAh one for the S7 Edge. The two (or three) variants reportedly have the IP67 certification, which means they’re water-resistant up to one meter of water. This is great news for those who have the tendency to forget their smartphones in their jeans and end up submerging them in water in the washing machine.

With these rumored features in mind, it’s easy to see that the Galaxy S7 will be an exciting addition to Samsung’s line of smartphones. Fortunately, you can get your hands on it soon since it’s set to be launched during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on late February and might be available in stores by March.
