Samsung's forthcoming line of flagship devices will arrive in March next year. The variants of Samsung Galaxy S7 could come packed with nifty features, including 3D Touch-like pressure-sensitive screen, fast charging capability and retina scanner.
As cited by the Wall Street Journal, the Galaxy S7 could be fitted with pressure-sensitive display which will be akin to what Apple added to the iPhone 6s. These phones will come packed with a responsive display enabling the handsets to interpret the touches and taps the users apply on the screen.
Samsung is also going to include a USB Type-C port with fast charging. It is said that the port has the capacity to fully charge the smartphones in less than half an hour (or even quicker than that).
It is also worth noting that Samsung will purportedly incorporate a retina scanner, following the footsteps of other handset makers that have added this feature on a few of their handsets, such as ZTE.
In 2014, it was rumored that the company was thinking of including a retina scanner into the Galaxy S5. Of course, it never happened, but there is always the possibility of it coming to fruition in the near future.
Interestingly, the Galaxy S7 could also have an Edge model boasting, needless to say, a curved display.
The non-Edge model could also have expandable storage, although both of the S6 models do not feature an external memory card slot.
In terms of design, the Galaxy S7 is believed to have a similar appearance as the S6 models, but the former will have no bump on its back.
Both variants of the Galaxy S7 are slated to land in the U.S. by middle of March, weeks after the uneveiling of these devices at the Mobile World Congress in February.
In the meantime, the success of these handsets is going to be a huge challenge to the newly installed mobile chief of Samsung, D.J. Koh. With Koh onboard, it is hoped that the South Korean handset maker could get back on track after having notched two years of disappointing sales.
Koh was a former head of mobile research and development of Samsung. He replaced J.K. Shin in the position.
