Two Samsung Galaxy S7 models in the works, out in 2016

It’s never too early to spread rumors and check out leaks–those forbidden details that might actually confuse a lot of people but it’s different when the subject is the next flagship phone from Samsung. The South Korean giant surprised us this 2015 by launching not just one but two flagships at the same time, the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge. The two were followed by the Galaxy S6 edge+ and the Galaxy Note 5. Bringing a pair of flagship phones at the same time could be a thing now but we recently received confirmation that two Galaxy S7 models will be unveiled.

So it will be a Galaxy S7 and a Galaxy S7 edge? That’s a big possibility and not really surprising because we heard an idea that one will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset and another one an Exynos processor. The main difference may not be the processor but the next Galaxy S device is expected to have that classic flat display while another edge variant will have a dual-edge curved screen as with the S6 and S6 edge.

Samsung may not make an official announcement yet until 2016 but the phone or rather the phones, will be available in the US, China, South Korea, Canada, and Europe. SAMMOBILE managed to share a list of carriers in each country where the upcoming Galaxy S7 series will launch early next year. In the US, the flagship phone will be available on T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, MetroPCS, US Cellular, and Cricket. In Canada, it will be on Bell Mobility. SKTelecom, LG Uplus, and KTC are expected to launch the flagship phone as well.

Codenamed ‘Project Lucky‘ within the Samsung grounds, the Galaxy S7 devices are being referred to as the Hero and Hero 2. Not much information on the specs but we heard the new version of Snapdragon 820 will be used and maybe a microSD card slot this time that could work with the UFS 2.0 storage. Is this good news or what?
