News Samsung New Handset Update : Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge Images Leaked And More Details Emerge

Samsung on Monday confirmed its pre-MWC "Galaxy Unpacked 2016" event for February 21 in Barcelona. Now, more details about Samsung's upcoming "Next Galaxy" flagship have emerged.

One of the most reliable phone tipsters, Evan Blass aka @evleaks has shared images of the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge alongside claiming other details about the handsets. The shared images show the front panels of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge smartphones in full glory and also corroborate to earlier claims that said there will be only two high-end Galaxy phones unveiled this month in Barcelona.

In a report Venture Beat's Blass cites a person who was briefed about the company's plans and claims that the South Korean company has added some of the features that were missing from the 2015 flagship pair. One of the biggest additions is microSD card expansion support, which was being rumoured for long. Both the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge are said to come with microSD card slots with a capacity of up to 200GB supported. Another notable addition is the IP67 dust and water resistance in both the new Galaxy phones. Notably, both the features were rumoured to be included in the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge phones.

According to the leaked images, both the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge look to retain the same design language as their predecessors. The Galaxy S7 is likely to sport a 5.1-inch screen while the Galaxy S7 Edge is said to come with a 5.5-inch screen. Both the handsets are said to sport QHD (1440x2560 pixels) screen resolution.

The report says that this year Samsung may use the always-on display (AOD) functionality on both the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge phones. The feature however is said to consume around one percent battery every hour.

The report adds that both the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge will get a bump in the battery capacities and will feature 3000mAh and 3600mAh batteries respectively. If this comes out to be true, the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge will pack large batteries than their predecessors Galaxy S6 (2550mAh) and Galaxy S6 Edge (2600mAh). Both the smartphones are also said to sport wireless charging functionality with as little as 2 hours for full charge on the Galaxy S7, and as little as 2.2 hours for the Galaxy S7 Edge.

Samsung is said to use the in-house SoC (system-on-chip) on the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge phones. Both the devices are said to pack Exynos 8 Octa 8890 processor with four cores clocked at 2.3GHz and four cores at 1.6GHz. The company is also expected to unveil a different model featuring the Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor in some regions. All the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge variants are said to pack 4GB of RAM and are expected to come in 32GB and 64GB storage options.

For the camera, Samsung is said to have downgraded from the 16-megapixel rear camera seen on the Galaxy S6 to a 12-megapixel camera sensor on the Galaxy S7. The company is also rumoured to get rid of the camera bump which was present on the Galaxy S6. The rear camera module is said to gain f/1.7 lens aperture, a bump from last generation. The front camera is said to remain unchanged from the Galaxy S6, which sport a 5-megapixel front-facing camera.

MWC 2016 is already gearing up to be the year's biggest mobile launch extravaganza with companies such as Sony, LG, Gionee, Xiaomi, and now Samsung confirming their presence at the event.

News Samsung Update : Almost Every Single Detail About Samsung's Next Giant Galaxy Phones Has Reportedly Leaked

Imgur

Samsung is rumored to be announcing two new phones later this week, but we may already have a clear idea of what to expect thanks to a new leak.

A Reddit user that goes by the alias "joelrtaveras" said a Samsung representative stopped by the retail location he or she works at with both phones. The user posted a rundown of initial impressions on the Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+, revealing almost every single detail about both phones. A bunch of photos of the Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+ also appeared on Imgur, and several reports seem to indicate that they were published by the same person behind the Reddit post.

Here's a photo that reportedly shows what looks like the rumored Galaxy Note 5 alongside the iPhone 6 Plus.

And here's the back of the phone.

You can see the edges are made of metal, and the author writes that the S Pen is "spring loaded" so it sits flush with the bezel of the phone.

And now here's the reported Galaxy S6 Edge+ alongside the iPhone 6 Plus.

Here's a side view of the Galaxy Note 5 (left) and Galaxy S6 Edge+ (right). You'll notice the phone on the right is slightly curved just like the Galaxy S6 Edge.

Several details about Samsung's new phones have leaked over the past several months, but these new photos provide the clearest depiction we've seen so far. It's the first set of images that compares both phones to the iPhone, which provides a size comparison.

Here are some of the key takeaways from the Reddit post:

• The Note 5 has a tapered back, and it's slightly thicker than the iPhone 6 Plus.
• The Note 5 won't have an SD card slot and the base model has 32GB of storage.
• The S Pen for the Note 5 has a "push to pop" mechanism for getting the pen out of its holster.
• The Super AMOLED screen "looked great," but especially so on the S6 Edge+'s curved screen.
• The S6 Edge+ comes with a feature called Apps Edge, which allows you to swipe from the right to view app shortcuts. This sounds like the feature Samsung debuted with the Galaxy Note Edge last year.

It's also important to note that both phones were running software that wasn't finalized, so there might be some changes on the final version. We're expecting Samsung to announce both phones at its Unpacked event on Thursday.

News Samsung Galaxy Handsets Update : Samsung Galaxy Note 5 And S6 Edge+ Photos Leak Iin Full

 Samsung is readying two new phones for its Unpacked event later this week. Now we've seen the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+ leak out it's almost certain these two phones are set to feature.

Sources speaking to Chinese website Digi-Wo have now shared leaks of what are allegedly the two new phones.

The leak suggests the Galaxy Note 5 is set to run on the Exynos 7420 - not the 7422 as some of the previous rumours suggested. It looks like the microSD card slot has been dropped, like it was on the Galaxy S6.

Big phones everywhere :

It could be a SIM and microSD combo tray slot this time around, but it's more likely Samsung has just decided to drop it.

It's also not clear from the photos how the S Pen pops out of the phone - rumours built up around a new technology developed to get it out quicker.

There's even a shot of the phone in all its packaging.

As for the Galaxy S6 Edge+, it's pictured yet again but there isn't a lot to show. It's just a bigger version of the Galaxy S6 Edge.

Be sure to take this news with a pinch of salt though, this could end up being a really elaborate hoax, but we'll know for sure come the official event on Thursday.

News Smartphones Release Update : Upcoming Smartphones Rumor Roundup - OnePlus 2, Galaxy Note 5, Nexus 5 2015, iPhone 6s

While Samsung and LG have already revealed their flagship offerings for the year 2015, quite a few key players have yet to announce their new devices for this year. Apple Inc. is slated to release its iPhone 6s in September, and Samsung also isn’t done yet, with plans to release the Note 5 around the same time.

OnePlus 2, Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Nexus 5 2015, and iPhone 6s will battle it out for the spot of the top smartphone in 2015, a position which is arguably held by the Samsung Galaxy S6 right now. While the companies haven’t revealed any official details about the aforementioned phones, various leaks and rumors have already revealed exciting details about the devices. Here’s what we know about these top contenders so far, according to Tech Times.

SamsungGalaxy Note 5:

The Note series has always been Samsung’s crème’ de la crème’, with the company bringing forth most of the innovations in the smartphone space through the Note phones. The latest iteration in the Note series, the Galaxy Note 5, is expected to release somewhere around August or September, with top-of-the-end hardware and all the latest features that we’ve come to expect with all iterations of the Galaxy Note line. While initial rumors pegged the launch date for September at the annual IFA conference held in Berlin, recent rumors suggest that the phone will see the light of day earlier than expected, debuting on August 12 and then hitting the shelves on August 21.

Another rumor suggests that the phone will carry USB Type-C connectivity, making it the first phone to feature the new standards. Following the immense success of the Galaxy S6 Edge, it’s expected that the Note 5 will also launch alongside a dual-edge variant. Other rumors suggest that the phone will ship with a super-AMOLED 5.7- or 5.9-inch display, with 2K (2560 x 1440) or 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution. Powering the device will either be a homegrown Exynos 7422 processor with power efficiency improvements, or a Qualcomm Snapdragon 815 chipset with 4GB RAM. As for the camera specs, the main camera is expected to have a 16-megapixel module, along with the ability to shoot 4K video as OIS. There have been a couple of reports suggesting that the Galaxy Note 5 will ship with Android M, but it’s highly unlikely.

One of the main innovations expected in the new Exynos 7422 chipset is that it will contain the CPU, GPU, RAM, Storage, and even the Modem on a single chip. This will reduce the overall size of the chip, as well as offer power efficiency improvements.

OnePlus2:

Launched by the little-known company OnePlus, the OnePlus One was a surprising success, mainly because of the company’s high attention to detail and the optimized software, which was developed by the maker of CyanogenMod. Despite matching all of the flagship smartphones in terms of performance and build quality, the OnePlus One cost only half the price of the phones, competing in the same category. Its successor, OnePlus 2, will launch on July 27, and is expected to feature a slew of improvements over its predecessor.

According to numerous rumors, the phone should sport a 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, 4GB of RAM, along with a fingerprint scanner for easy access with additional security. Some rumors also suggest the phone will ship with a USB Type-C connector. Despite all these top-notch specs, the phone is expected to be priced under $450. While the Snapdragon 810’s original version has been known to exhibit slight heating issues, reports say that OnePlus has been working with Qualcomm to resolve the issues and release a 2.1 version of the processor.

As for the battery life, the phone will ship with a 3,300 mAh battery, which is a slight bump-up from the previous iteration’s 3,100 mAh. We can predict that the phone will have a longer battery life; however, that cannot be confirmed until the screen type of OnePlus 2 is confirmed. The current debate is that the phone will either feature QHD (2560x1440 pixels) or a Full HD (1920x1080 pixels) display.

Surprisingly, the fingerprint sensor will reportedly even beat the iPhone in terms of speed accuracy, which is the current market leader in terms of fingerprint sensors. It’s not yet known where the fingerprint sensor will be located or whether there’ll be a home button to begin with.

Based on recent rumors, OnePlus 2 will rock a 16-megapixel camera module on the back, equipped with OIS, along with a 5-megapixel shooter on the front. As for the design, it’s expected that the device won’t use metal for most of the design; instead, a rough variant of plastic will be utilized, making for a better overall grip.
