The Samsung Galaxy S7 continues to garner favour from anticipating users, as reports have come out about the smartphone sporting an Exynos 8890 chip, a processor packing up extraordinary power for smartphone use.
Samsung's upcoming 2016 flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S7, will sport the latest Exynos 8890 chipset, which recorded a phenomenal 103,692 on the AnTuTu test.
The score result, as reported by iDigital Times, beats the the top-of-the-line Kirin 950 SoC by Huawei which scored 79,000 on the same test. Although this report is to be taken with a grain of salt as the results were given by sources not connected with Samsung or the Exynos builders.
Rumours are coming out that the Galaxy S7 will be seeing an early than expected launch, its release most likely happening in the weeks following the 2016 CES in January. The Samsung Galaxy S7 will have two editions - the phablet and the regular smartphone version.
The regular edition is expected to sport a 5.2-inch screen with Samsung's signature Super AMOLED display, says Yibada. The phablet version is expected to be a little bit bigger at 5.7 inches in screen size, but with the same AMOLED display.
As per handset power, the Exynos 8890 chip is expected to bring no less than 4GB in RAM and at least 32GB in internal memory. The front facing camera is to contain a 16 megapixel resolution capacity.
Christian Post also further reports that the Samsung Galaxy 7 could very well be bringing back a microSD slot for expandable memory capacities for the smartphone. This follows criticism about Samsung copying Apple's strategy in creating flagship units with fixed memory.
Other rumours following the Samsung Galaxy S7 includes features like a USB Type C port. There are also talks about Samsung and Sony striking up a deal to use Sony's IMX300 23 MP sensor present in the Xperia Z5. More rumours are expected to come out as the launch approaches.
