Samsung Unpacked is one of the most highly anticipated tech events each year. More than the CES or the Mobile World Congress, it’s one event that Samsung fans look forward too because it’s where the next premium flagship phone is revealed. Just like last year, we can expect more than one model to be unveiled. This year though, it won’t be just a pair but three new Galaxy phones: Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge, and the Galaxy S7 Edge+.
Others are saying there will only be two but it doesn’t really matter as long as Samsung unleashes a new Galaxy S phone. Just one model is actually enough for Samsung to prove that it can still innovate within the mobile industry. It doesn’t really need more variants to sell because if the specs and features are impressive, it’s good enough to become a bestseller–all those premium specs for a lower price.
Just before 2015 ended, we saw some diagram of what’s believed to be the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. This was after some image of a Galaxy S7 chassis was leaked. UK retailer Mobile Fun has listed Galaxy S7-related accessories most of which are protective covers.
Mobile Fun is expected to sell protective covers for the Galaxy S7 and its other variants. Included are Guard covers, Backpack covers, and LED covers. The old Note 4 received an LED cover before but the backpack and guard covers are definitely new. We’re not sure what these two actually feature but we’re guessing something with extra battery or charging capability.
Mobile Fun has a very long list of upcoming accessories for the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. They are a lot actually but the list gives us confirmation that there will be at least two S7 phones: the standard Galaxy S7 flagship and the S7 Edge version.
