Accordingly, just like its flagship launching this year, Samsung will be launching two flagship smartphones next year which it may call as the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge.

Ongoing development of the Galaxy S7 devices is known as “Project Lucky”.
Benchmark results, purported to compare a smartphone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 and two versions of a Samsung Galaxy S7 with an older and newer Snapdragon 820 revision, are shown above. Apparently, information about the Galaxy S7 design and features has already been leaked from company insiders, so we can already get a good idea of what the Galaxy S7 will bring to the market when it is launched in March 2016, most likely.
Excellence, after all, does not come cheap and that seems to be the new mantra of Samsung after it redeemed itself from last year’s debacle with the Samsung Galaxy S5 with this year’s Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge that reinvigorated the market on its favor. In particular, Canada’s Bell Mobility, Korea’s KT, LG Uplus, SKTelecom and Cricket, AT&T, MetroPCS, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, and Verizon in the USA will likely offer the phones.
It will be interesting to see how much further the Snapdragon 820 can improve before it is launched in the first devices.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 smartphone will be available in 5.2-inch and 5.8-inch screen sizes; with the Exynos 8890 chip powering some models and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor powering the others.
The devices are also referred to the devices as Hero and Hero2.
According to recent rumors, the Galaxy S7 handset is expected to be unveiled by Samsung in February 2016. Samsung’s 2015 flagships have been heavily criticized for the lack of microSD expansion, despite the fact that Samsung attempted to compensate for this move by offering larger internal storage options.

The LG G5 is also expected to feature an upgrade camera of 20-megapixel with a customized Sony sensor that is ½-inch wide. These models are numbered SM-G930 and SM-G935, respectively.
