Accessories of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge have been leaked online, and the list includes a slew of battery cases and LED View Flip covers.
If this holds true, then it appears that Samsung is taking another page out of Apple’s playbook with the battery case. The Cupertino brand rolled out the Smart Battery Case for the iPhone 6s, touting it as capable of providing talk time of up to 25 hours. It does seem nifty, but design-wise, it’s not exactly a sight for sore eyes.
Moving forward, the Samsung battery case is referred to as Backpack, and it sports a 2,700 mAh capacity. On top of that, it comes with a wireless charging kit, so it’s arguably one step up compared to Apple’s version. Regarding the price, it’s pegged at €89.99 (approximately $99.99).
The latest rumors suggest that Samsung will cram the Galaxy S7 with a 3,000 mAh pack and both the S7 Plus and S7 edge with a powerful 3,600 mAh one. To put two and two together, the upcoming flagships will have long-lasting battery lives that are guaranteed to get owners through the day without the need for an outlet.
Meanwhile, the other notable accessory out of the bunch is the LED View Flip cover. It’s reportedly going to be capable of lighting up via LED whenever there’s an incoming call. Also, it’s speculated that it’ll be able to behave the same way for notifications. As for the cost, it’s labeled with a €69.99 (approximately $77.7) price tag.
The list also consists of other Samsung cases that have been redesigned to fit the S7, including the S View, Clear, Wallet, Clearview, Leather, Glitter and Keyboard Case.
The news comes from the German website WinFuture (translated), and it notes that there are other accessories that it hasn’t gotten info about yet – according to the translation, at least.
In the same vein, a leaked photo of the Galaxy S7 has been making rounds on the Internet. The Italian website HDBlog (translated) got ahold of the image in question from the Vietnamese website Review Dao, which seems to have taken it down.
At any rate, the Samsung Galaxy S7 is expected to be unveiled on Feb. 21, and these emerging accessories are a good indication that the smartphone will come as scheduled.
