Samsung Galaxy S7 preorder units are slowly but surely starting to roll out but some tech media sites have already managed to get a hands-on and those who have already started doing comparisons.
Other Galaxy S7 specs include Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 or Samsung’s own home grown Exynos 8 Octa processor depending on the market it is retailed in; 4GB of RAM with either 32GB or 64GB of internal storage; and a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera. Users will easily find the Android Pay application within the Google folders on Verizon Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge handsets.

Samsung certainly made a big deal out of the camera technology inside the Galaxy S7 during the Barcelona launch event, repeatedly comparing it to the iPhone 6S Plus, and showing side-by-side images where the new S7 easily bested the existing Apple phone. According to the report, one of their offers for the Galaxy S7 gives a $649.99 price for a Black Onyx variant, which can be “paired with no-contract plans” from either of the two carriers.
