In just a few months, the Samsung Galaxy S7 might finally be unveiled. A new concept design has emerged and there are reports saying that it could come out in January.
The new concept image comes from the 3DFuture team. They made the images based on the existing design patents from the Korean tech giant. Design-wise, the Samsung Galaxy S7 might look very similar to its predecessors. It also has a curved screen similar to the Galaxy S6 Edge. However, the edges of the smartphone are now positioned on the lower and upper part of the screen.
In addition, the new flagship phone is expected to be waterproof, according to Tech Times. Users can finally take them out on summer vacations with less to worry about.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 concept design also shows that the physical buttons will be located on its sides. Another difference is that the shapes of the corners are now trapezoidal.
After all this, the phone is also said to sport a magnesium alloy frame. The back panel will still be glass, according to NDTV. But that's not all where Samsung's rumored phone may shine.
The Galaxy S7 is also expected to be installed with the Sabre 90181Q2M audio chip. This allows users to listen and experience high-fidelity sounds. It doesn't even take up that much power. In standby mode, it will consume just 1mW. Under heavy loads, it will consume 40mW.
One of the biggest features anticipated is a new display tech similar to the 3D Touch from Apple. Samsung has filed a patent for the tech.
There are also reports that the unveiling would happen in January, which is earlier than usual based on Samsung's history. However, Samsung did not confirm whether this is true or not, according to Computer World.
Interested users will have to wait for an official announcement from Samsung. The Galaxy S7 seems promising, but will it surpass the sales of the Samsung Galaxy S6?
