Samsung's upcoming 2016 flagship, the Galaxy S7, is gaining a lot of momentum on the rumour mill and is beating the iPhone 7 in terms of speculated specs and heat.
The Exynos 8890 chipset that will power the Samsung Galaxy S7 wins over Apple's latest A9 processor in the multi-core capacity arena, scoring a 5423 grade versus Apple's 4454, says Computer World. However, in the single core category, Apple's A9 still had an edge with a 2537 score over the Exynos' 2456.
However, not all Galaxy S7s will be powered by the Exynos 8890, as some will have to make further ado with the Snapdragon 820 chipset, which according to Qualcomm still packs some serious processing power.
Latin One does add though that the Galaxy S7 will win over Apple's upcoming iPhone 7 in the pricing category, as the Samsung Galaxy S7 will be cheaper than the S6 even by at least 10 percent. Samsung still leads in the Smartphone market in terms of consumer shares, and the move to make the S7 even cheaper than its flagship predecessor is a move seen to further improve that margin.
This is also an almost 'necessary move,' as cheaper players such as the ones Xiaomi and OnePlus provide can also promise incredibly surprising specs to phone users.
Just like Apple's latest iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, the Korean phone manufacturer is planning to produce Galaxy S7s with a a touch sensitive 3D Touch-like feature. According to Tech Times, the phone will also probably have curved edges on all four sides - left, right, up and down.
However, additional reports have indicated that the phone manufacturer behind the Samsung Galaxy S7 has already stated that there will not be a metal unibody design, nor any major outside design changes to the upcoming 2016 flagship. This is due to the move of focusing more on internal upgrades and performance improvements, especially on the camera, which rumours say could be a camera 'borrowed' from Sony.
