Samsung Galaxy S7 release date, specs rumors: Device arriving in China by March 2016

With the year winding down, it is time to prowl for rumors for upcoming devices which will likely be showcased at the 2016 Mobile World Congress (MWC).

But it seems that some companies plan to spoil the party a bit by unveiling their devices in advance. And a constant brand that does that each year is Samsung with their "Unpacked" event. For 2016, the event will be held on Feb. 21 and the star of the show will be, of course, the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S7.

For those who have been following the rumor mill, there have been a lot of stuff already mentioned, with most of the enhancements coming from within. That includes a pressure-sensitive screen, a USB Type C port, a retina scanner and much improved main camera.

So which region will be lucky enough to offer it to the consumer market first?

China Mobile recently bared that they will be making the Samsung Galaxy S7 available in March 2016 and that the next Samsung flagship will debut alongside another much awaited device in the Huawei P9.

As for pricing, GSM Arena hints that the device could retail for about $465, based on current foreign exchange rates.

Aside from the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the Huawei P9, China-based customers can look forward to other models debuting as well. That includes that Samsung Galaxy A5 and A7 models which should broaden the probable devices folks over there can choose from.

It would be best to note that there is one feature that seems to be confirmed as well. This is with regards to the much talked about return of the microSD card slot, although it will only be made available for the Samsung Galaxy S7 as reported via WSJ.

For the ones eager to get the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge variant, WSJ further adds that the device may disappoint a bit since there will reportedly be no microSD card slot feature present.
