Samsung Galaxy S7 release date: Handsets coming in two sizes

More speculations are coming out about Samsung's rumored Galaxy S7, and this time around, the reports are saying that the new phone will be offered in two different sizes.

According to Asia Times and reported by Know Your Mobile, the upcoming release from Samsung will apparently be offered as both a standard 5.2 inch-model and interestingly enough, there is also said to be a 5.8 -inch variant of the Galaxy S7 that will be coming out as well.

It's unclear if Samsung is actually going through with their plans to produce two variants of the Galaxy S7, although it would be a change of pace for the company.

Another significant bit of information that has just recently come out regarding the Galaxy S7 is that it will apparently be featuring a 4K display. What's not certain is if the 4K display will be present on the standard 5.2-inch model of the Galaxy or on the larger 5.8-variant. There's also the possibility that both models could come equipped with 4K display.

The latest rumors regarding the Galaxy S7 are being regarded as Samsung's way of keeping up with the latest developments regarding Sony's very own offerings. Sony, of course, just recently came out with their Xperia Z5 line that featured models being offered at different sizes and with its Premium variant equipped with the 4K display.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 will also reportedly be coming out with 4 GB of RAM, according to Phone Arena. This development is significant and could mean that Samsung is not planning to debut their 6 GB RAM smartphones just yet.

One last bit of information that came out recently regarding the Samsung Galaxy S7 suggests that the new phone will be released before the end of 2015.

Samsung has yet to confirm any of these rumors regarding the Galaxy S7.
