The Galaxy Note 7 may be grabbing all headlines when it comes to highly anticipated Samsung devices, but another handset may be en route: the Galaxy S7 edge+.

Samsung launched its Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge early this year, but the company has never been too shy about flooding the market with a slew of different devices in different ranges, series, categories and price points.

The rumor mill has been busy churning recently in anticipation of the next flagship phablet from Samsung — the Galaxy Note 7 — but it now looks like the company is not done with its Galaxy S7 line either.

A third device may join the lineup soon enough, as Samsung is apparently gearing up to add a Galaxy S7 edge+ phablet. This wouldn't come as much of a surprise, considering that in 2015, Samsung offered a Galaxy S6 edge+ variant.

However, while the Galaxy S6 edge+ launched alongside the "regular" Galaxy S6 edge last year, this year Samsung made no mention of a larger version of the smartphone.

Nevertheless, an accessory maker has now listed a number of accessories for the Galaxy S7 edge+, suggesting that the smartphone is real and it may hit the scene in the near future.

Armorsuit lists a range of screen protectors and skins for the Galaxy S7 edge+ on its official website, albeit the accessories appear as "out of stock" at the time of writing. With the Galaxy S7 edge+ yet to make its official debut, it's understandable why the accessories are not yet available for purchase.

While this does not count as an official confirmation that the handset will indeed hit the market soon, it does bolster such expectations. The Galaxy S7 edge+ is expected to sport similar specs to the Galaxy S7 edge, but rock a larger display of 5.7 or 5.8 inches.

The phablet may further pack an Exynos 8990 processor paired with 4 GB of RAM, ensuring a fast and fluid performance. Other purported specs could include 32 GB of internal storage space and the same camera combo as the Galaxy S7 edge, meaning a 12-megapixel main shooter and a 5-megapixel selfie cam.

We have no information yet on when Samsung may officially announce the Galaxy S7 edge+, but it may well be at the same press event set for the Galaxy Note 7 on Aug. 2.

As always, we'll keep you in the loop as soon as we learn more.
