It won't be just two smartphones, as we believed, it finally seems that they will be four new versions of Samsung's flagship that will be released. What will these four different versions of the Samsung Galaxy S7When will each of them be released? To understand all the options, it's also helpful to know that the S7 family includes multiple variants per market and that share a technical basis with differences in bands, SIM or processor.
Samsung Galaxy S7
El Samsung Galaxy S7 It will be the flagship, the main smartphone of the four that Samsung could launch. In addition, it will be the most basic of the four, and the most affordable, so it will probably be the most affordable of the four. So far, this is the smartphone we have talked about the most, since we believed that only two versions of the smartphone would be launched, and its possible design similar to the Galaxy S6.
Beyond the panel, the S7 stands out for integrating IP68 water and dust resistance, Always On Display to check the time and notifications with the screen off, and a battery of approximately 3.000 mAh with fast and wireless charging. Inside it alternates depending on the market between Exynos 8890 y Snapdragon 820, with 4 GB of RAM and 32/64GB storage (128GB options available in some markets), plus microSD slot high capacity. The main chamber adopts 12 MP with f / 1.7 aperture and technology Dual Pixel for ultra-fast focusing and great low-light performance.
Samsung Galaxy Edge S7
When talking about four variants of the Samsung Galaxy S7, it is clear that one of those variants will be a version with curved screen of the smartphone. The smartphone will resemble the flagship, and in fact, will have the same features. However, its screen will be curved. In this case, the panel grows to around 5,5 inches with Quad HD resolution of 2.560 x 1.440 pixels and adds the exclusive Edge features on the sides for quick access. We had thought the flagship would feature a curved display, and that there wouldn't be a standard version. However, that won't be the case. The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge would be a more expensive smartphone, and would have a price about 100 euros higher in its usual positioning.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Plus
Last year, Samsung released three versions of the Samsung Galaxy S6. The basic version and the curved-screen version arrived in the first half of the year, while the 5,7-inch curved-screen version arrived in the second half of the year. This year, there will be a fourth version, which would be the Samsung Galaxy S7 Plus. It will be like the Samsung Galaxy S7, although it would have a approximately 6-inch screenThere has been talk about the possibility of this smartphone having a screen with a resolution 4K. However, this cannot be confirmed until the phone is officially announced. With a 6-inch screen, a higher resolution is ideal to achieve a similar pixel density. However, in this case, your phone may not be able to display the same resolution as the previous one. price even higher. It seems unlikely that it's priced at just €100 more than the basic version, so it could cost €200 more than the Samsung Galaxy S7, and €100 more than the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Plus
And it is very clear that from the other three versions of the smartphone, the fourth version would have a 6 inch curved screen. In this case, it would also remain to be confirmed whether it would be a screen with a 4K resolution, although in this case, what seems clear is that the price of the smartphone will be notably expensive. We are talking about a mobile phone whose price will probably be about 1.000 euros.
