Samsung Galaxy S7 renders reveal thicker, Galaxy Note 5-style design and 5.1-inch, curved screen
Once again sourced on our behalf by @OnLeaks, AKA Steve Hemmerstoffer from nowhereelse.fr, the Galaxy S7 features a design that’s not a million miles from the Galaxy Note 5, albeit without that phone’s trademark stylus and with more compact dimensions.
Measuring roughly 142.5mm x 69.5mm x 7.9mm thick, it’s also seemingly substantially beefier than the Galaxy S6 which comes in at 6.9mm. The extra bulk is likely to be down to the need to accommodate a larger battery, but we can't confirm that at the time of writing.
Our source claims the phone’s screen will come in at 5.1-inches, so remains unchanged from the Galaxy S6. But in a break from last year’s model, the display curves up ever so slightly at the edges, in the same way as the so-called ‘2.5D’ screens that you'll find on Samsung’s A Series smartphones.
Just as with the Galaxy S7 Plus, it appears that the standard Galaxy S7 won’t be equipped with a USB Type-C port and will instead feature older micro USB technology.
The upshot of that is that you won’t be able to look forward to faster data transfers and speedier charging.
Yeeup. Enjoying this thing way more than the S5 and 5s that I used before it.
Welp, I know what I'll be doing when I get home
what phone do you have and how familiar are you with rooting and such?
The Samsung Galaxy S7 has been spotted for the first time in pictures. ITSkins, a third party case manufacturer has handed a selection of CAD renders of the handset to GSMArena, as well as a few details. It seems there will be both a regular Galaxy S7 and a larger 6in Galaxy S7 Plus using the same design - so far there are no details on edge variants. The renders appear to confirm earlier reports that the Galaxy S7 would closely follow a similar design to the Galaxy S6. The report states the Galaxy S7 will be nearly the same size as the Galaxy S6 at 143.37 x 70.8 x 6.94 mm, while the Galaxy S7 Plus will be bigger than even the Galaxy Note series at 163.32 x 82.01 x 7.82mm - likely meaning a 6in display panel.

Now, this next snippet of info alleges there are not only two Galaxy S7 handsets in the works, but a full quartet of FOUR.
But, and this is important, all doubts should go out the window when we factor in who is leaking this information, as it comes via none other than @evleaks
, aka Evan Blass, a man with a near impeccable track record. According to Blass and a screenshot he posted, there will not only be the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Plus, but also a Galaxy S7 edge and Galaxy S7 edge Plus. We can't say we're too shocked, but it's nice to have confirmation on the expected!
As Brlier leak from T-Mobile Poland, suggesting Samsung would launch two handsets in Q1 2016 and another two in Q2.lass points out, the leaked info lines up nicely with an ea
