Samsung Galaxy S7 release date, specs news: Foldable smartphone coming?

All the attention right now is on the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge and it would only be a matter of time before people start asking about its successor. Well leave all that to the rumor mill which should start racking up speculations on the next Samsung Galaxy device – the Galaxy S7.

Rumors have started to float as we speak and the early tips we are getting right now is that this next device to join the Samsung Galaxy Series will be a foldable smartphone.

Aside from that, word has it that the Samsung Galaxy S7 will boast of a cyclone HMP technology chipset with 6GB of RAM. This could mean that the supposed S7 will be twice as fast as the S6 that should complement the rumored 4K resolution foldable display.

Additional rumored specs include a 20MP main camera with a low light sensor. This makes the camera useful even in darkest areas which should be a big improvement from the Galaxy S6 which carries a 16MP main shooter.

It is believed that the Galaxy S7 will also have a Touch ID system, Retina Scanning and the patented wireless charging technology which many may have already come across with the Samsung Galaxy S6.

If all goes well, the Samsung Galaxy S7 could be revealed as early as December of this year. The rumored release date may seem a bit quick considering all the hype that the S6 and S6 Edge are currently getting right now but then again, Samsung has been known to come out with devices that frequent.

All these remain rumors of course so it would be best to see how Samsung drops hints and leads on the coming of the Galaxy S6 successor. If not December, perhaps January, 2016 would be a more feasible outlook.
