Samsung Galaxy S7 to Launch in February 2016
Samsung is prepping to release its upcoming Galaxy S7, which is expected to be unveiled in the first quarter of 2016.
The Galaxy S6 launched at MWC 2015 while the Galaxy S5 launched at MWC 2014. We, therefore, assume that the Galaxy S7 will be released during MWC 2016 in February to be held in Barcelona, Spain. Ever since the Galaxy S6 was launched there’s been rumors spreading around about the much-speculated Galaxy S7 features.
It appears that the South Korean smartphone giant will continue to release two variants of its flagship smartphone for at least one more year. The SM-G930 and the SM-G935 are the variants of the Galaxy S7, the former with a flat display and the latter with a dual-edge curved display.
