The Samsung Galaxy S7 should be accompanied by the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge at the Unpacked event. We expect the Samsung Galaxy S7 to feature a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1440 x 2560. Depending on where you hang your hat, the Exynos 8890 SoC or the Snapdragon 820 chipset will be under the hood. 4GB of RAM will be inside, along with a 3000mAh battery. A 12MP BRITECELL camera will adorn the back of the handset. The Samsung Galaxy S7 edge will carry a larger 5.5-inch, Super AMOLED screen with a QHD (1440 x 2560) resolution.
Some of the features that we saw on the Samsung Galaxy S5 that disappeared on the Samsung Galaxy S6, like IP67 certification for dust and water proofing, and a microSD slot, are expected to return on the Galaxy S7.

I'm worried about the camera. It's literally the only thing they can screw up. The 16mp sensor with OIS was tried and true. This new 12mp sensor is the unknown. I hope they didn't remove the OIS. I haven't heard any meantion of stability yet. No conformation of it being 1/2.0" or if it's still 1/2.6". Too many variables.

Samsung has proven that it can do excellent smartphone cameras. I am pretty sure Samsung won't screw up in this department.
I am rather concerned that Samsung is not getting TouchWiz under control. Maybe the design of the device can be a problem as well.

I think it should be fine. I've been using the Marshmallow beta on my S6 for a while now and the performance is much better - almost as good as my 6P. The only issue I have is that some aspects of the UI don't look as nice.

The design of the phone is not what I had hoped. I'm crossing my fingers that those leaks weren't the real S7.

Also, being captain obvious here, the "open" corner of the box makes a 7.

I think the S7 will be Samsungs version of the 6S. The S8 will be a true treat, I'm even thinking of skipping the Note 6 for the same reason.

I'm not certain that they focus on people who get new phones every year...but for people like me with a S5 and people with a Note 4 a S7 and Note 6 I'm sure will be worthy upgrades

Same here i'm M8 user, for some reason i'm skipping last year flagship because i didn't see too many upgrades. If the new S7 doesn't come with FT, then i don't really mind to buy last year Note 5/S6 considering the price cut & i think they still a very capable device.

Exactly what Apple does....so no big deal....the S6 looks awesome but wasn't quite enough to persuade me...but I don't believe a tech nerd like you will be able to stand having a old Note 5 when the Note 6 comes out....haha....I'm betting you get one

So that means yes. ..lol....thinking about thr 7edge+...for myself a bigger phone would be cool....don't know if i can wait for a Note 6 and not sure if i would even use the S pen so it could be a waste for me...but to each their own

I'd love two redesigned flagships this year. We know it's a redesign year for the iPhone. N6 hopefully.

The way the "7" is glowing is a nice touch...

I think this represents a new type of glowing notification light. They tried to do this with the curved screen of the S6 Edge but maybe this time they will use a fiber optic, or translucent border and LED.
I was proposing they do this a couple years ago but who knows.

Imagine what would happen if Samsung doesn't bring back expandable sd storage...

Nothing would happen really. It would still sell millions, some would be pissed, some such as myself wouldn't be.

That statement is rather hypocritical...OF COURSE it matters...otherwise Samsung wouldn't give a #$#$ on bringing it back.
SD card users probably hovers around the majority because cloud isn't a big thing yet
