More interestingly, Phone Arena also reports that a new patent from Samsung shows a smartphone case that makes the Galaxy S7 a lot like the Galaxy Note Edge with the screen spilling over to the right side of the phone and a stylus just like the one used by Galaxy Note. That is more or less it, stay tuned for additional info as we’re waiting for Samsung to introduce their new flagships. That’s not all though, the Galaxy S7 Edge has also been certified in Taiwan yesterday, and now we have a new piece of news to share with you.

If all of the leaks hold up by next month’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, we should expect to see the Galaxy S7 with the same 5.1-inch display pushing a 1,140 x 2,560 resolution.
According to Phone Arena, Samsung may be looking into merging their high-end smartphone lines with their cheaper alternatives with the S7. Those that love the Samsung Galaxy S6 and hope that the Galaxy S7 will be largely similar with a few boosts to performance, and those that want the whole hardware and software experience to change, top to bottom.
If you’ve been missing the microSD slot, there are rumours that the Galaxy S7 may sport one too!
Last year’s single core Samsung Galaxy S6 (pictured above) obtained a Geekbench score ranging from around 1250 to 1450, while the multi-core flavour clocked in the region of 4200 to 4800.
Like the previous Galaxy S7 models, Samsung will offer Android in the new handset. The latest version of Android will arrive on Google’s own Nexus series and then will slowly roll out onto many Android devices like those from HTC, LG, Sony, Motorola, and, of course, Samsung. The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge are each valued at $351.57 for each unit shipped into India. We’ve heard about what the handset will come with as well as the rumored launch date for the handset.

Now that the ball is hypothetically in Apple’s court, with the recent launch of their latest flagship smartphones, the iPhone 6S and the iPhone 6S Plus, it is now Samsung’s turn to try to wow the crowd with some form of improvement over what Apple is currently offering.
