The Samsung Galaxy S7 is months away from officially launching, and more talks of Galaxy S7 accessories are coming out. At first, it was just smartphone casings. Now rumours are that the Samsung Galaxy S7 will have a provision for a Samsung Pen.

According to iDigitalTimes, some reports from the Netherlands indicate that a Samsung Stylus Pen is being fashioned for the up and coming Samsung Galaxy S7 series. Given that the Galaxy S7 is rumoured to have a 5.2 or 5.7 inch display, a stylus pen can actually come as a handy accessory for the upcoming flagship handset.

Galaxy Club also reports a patent of what seems to be a Samsung Galaxy S7 handset casing with provisions for an S Pen insertion, which further strengthens claims of a a possible stylus accessory for the handset.

Recent rumors state that the Samsung Galaxy S7 is expected to launch with ultra HD 4K OLED displays, and will come in four variations- a Samsung Galaxy S7 with a 5.2-inch display, a Samsung Galaxy S7 Plus with a 5.7-inch display, and an Edge variant for each of the two sizes. The handset is also said to sport one of two possible chipsets- either a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 or an Exynos 8890.

PC Advisor states that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 is said to have a 35 percent improvement over the Snapdragon 810, and the Exynos 8890 stands as the most powerful processor created to date.

Other specs that are expected for the Samsung flagship are a pressure sensitive touch capacity, fingerprint sensors, and Sony technology on its cameras. On the software side, the handset will launch out of the box with the Android 6.0 Marshmallow firmware, bringing the famous Doze mode, Android Pay and Google Now on Tap.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 is said to be launching in the Mobile World Congress this upcoming Feb. 22 to 25 2016.
