While Samsung is looking to improve all aspects of its flagship for Samsung Galaxy S7, the South Korea-based company reportedly doesn't plan on bumping up the price tag. This is what China-based analyst and China electronics supply expert Pan Jiutang would like to believe.
As per Times of India, the expert believes that the next-gen handset will cost 10 percent lower than the Galaxy S6. This should easily give surety to bigger sales as the tech firm is basically offering up a more formidable device with a price much more manageable than what the competition puts up.
This means that users could more likely opt for Samsung Galaxy S7 instead of an iPhone 6S and the iPhone 6S Plus, with the entry-level models currently sitting at $649 and $749, respectively. Samsung will be able to woo back users from Xiaomi, Lenovo and OnePlus as well.
Tech Insider believes that a lower priced Samsung Galaxy S7 is not out of the question. The aforementioned publication says that with Samsung recently slashing the price of its current flagships, it isn't all too impossible that they lower the cost of the next-gen handset too.
It still proves a risky move, though. Not too long ago, it was reported that Samsung is trying to talk Sony into supplying them the IMX300 sensor on the Sony Xperia Z5, which is supposed to be exclusive to the Japanese tech firm's mobile lineup.
Value Walk reports that Samsung is determined to sway Sony, but with the exclusivity going on, the former might have to shell out extra to get what they want. In the event the collaboration materializes though, Samsung Galaxy S7 could boast a primary camera as big as 25 MP.
As for the rest of the specs, it is believed that the device will come with a feature that works much like the 3D Touch on Apple's latest iPhones. Word on the street is that there will be three versions of the handset again – a standard version and two variants with curved displays, one bigger than the other.
