Samsung Galaxy S7 Plus Version to Come Out?: Rumors, Release Date & Specs

After the release of the Samsung Galaxy S6, Android fans and users are now excited for the next instalment of the Galaxy S7 and its bigger brother, the Galaxy S7 Plus.

A post on the OnLeaks Twitter page showed renders of the Plus variant of the Galaxy S7. The case renders revealed that the bigger version of the next-generation phone will have a 6-inch screen, a rounded metal frame, and a measurement of 163.40mm x 82.00mm.

Images of the renders also revealed that despite its size, the phone will still be slim at 7.822 mm.

In addition, GSM Arena said the upcoming S7 Plus looks a lot like the Galaxy S6.

"The sides seem more rounded, which plays nice with the 2.5D glass on the front and the back," the same report added.

But the renders also revealed that there is no microSD slot nor a USB Type-C port for the phone.

Another notable change on the case, as per GSM Arena, is the size of the home button, which it claimed became "wider but narrower," and the relocation of the front-facing camera to the right side of the phone.

Meanwhile, BGR noted that the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Plus are expected to be launched at the same time next year. But it noted that leaked renders have not been made available for the Galaxy S7.

For the Galaxy S7, a Weibo account revealed that the Korean phone manufacturer has reportedly tapped Synaptics to utilize their ClearForce technology for it to be able to respond to different screen pressure.

ClearForce technology, as per TechRadar, allows various "scrolling speeds, ways to unlock, gaming controls and much more depending on what pressure is applied."

It was added by CNet that this feature is much like the 3D Touch technology on the recent iPhone 6s instalment.

Aside from this feature, the Samsung Galaxy S7 is also believed to have a 5.8-inch curved screen.

According to TechTimes, the Samsung Galaxy S7 may also be equipped with a 4GB RAM and will be powered by a 64-bit Exynos 3.5 GHz processor. For storage, the device could come with 32, 64, and 128 GB variants.

The device is also expected to use the Britecell camera technology, which was recently announced by Samsung, as per Gearburn. This new technology is said to improve photos even in low light, and also produces pictures with better colors.

It was also noted that the company plans to change green pixels in the sensors to white units for better picture quality.
