A 5.7-inch variant of the Galaxy S7 may be on its way to the United States.

According to GSM Arena, a new Samsung phone that has just made its way past the AnTuTu benchmark would seem to indicate that the company is planning to offer a 5.7-inch version of their upcoming flagship unit.

More details about the Galaxy S7, which is believed to be codenamed "Project Lucky," also came via the leak.

According to the leak, the 5.7-inch version of the Galaxy S7 is also reportedly equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 SoC, and that bit of information may actually indicate where this particular variant of the smartphone is heading.

If the rumors surrounding the Galaxy S7 are to be believed, then that would mean that the 5.7 inch variant powered by the Snapdragon chipset would be coming to the United States and perhaps even to China.

Galaxy S7 units that will be powered by the Exynos chips are currently expected to ship to other regions.

As for the other specs of the 5.7-inch Galaxy S7 model, it is also expected to have 4 GB of RAM paired up with 64 GB of internal storage. It's been rumored that the Galaxy S7 phones will bring back microSD card support, although this has yet to be confirmed.

The 5.7-inch Galaxy S7 will also reportedly have a 16-megapixel rear camera along with a five-megapixel front-facing shooter, although according to some rumors, the megapixels may not tell the entire story.

According to Forbes, the Galaxy S7 line could also feature an image sensor known as BRITECELL, and the addition could greatly enhance the capabilities of Samsung's smartphone cameras.

Samsung has yet to announce when they are planning to unveil their new Galaxy S7 units, although it's widely believed that the company will showcase this year's line of flagship devices at the Mobile World Congress taking place in Barcelona this February, according to The Verge.

More news about the Galaxy S7 is expected to be made available soon.
