Samsung Galaxy S7, S7 Edge revealed in leaked photos

PanARMENIAN.Net - With Mobile World Congress just a few weeks away, leaked photos reveal first in-the-wild looks at Samsung's Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, Engadget reports.

The first photo - obtained by ReviewDao.vn - doesn't offer the most tantalizing view of Samsung's new S7, but it does seem to validate a handful of reports that have made the rounds these past few weeks. Consider that camera, for instance — while it is impossible tell if Samsung actually swapped the S6's 16-megapixel sensor for a 12-megapixel affair, the hump that houses the lens is much slimmer than it used to be. Moreover, the photo matches up pretty nicely with a render shared by noted leaker/VentureBeat writer Evan Blass, while the curvy back (which should house a bigger battery than in last year's model) syncs up with previously leaked CAD diagrams.

Meanwhile, a separate photo of what appears to be the Galaxy S7 Edge came from China and shows off the device's trademark curved display. Weibo user JKwan managed to get the device running a benchmarking app that identifies the phone as an SM-G9350, a model number that was tied to the S7 Edge when it passed through China's Compulsory Certification organization.
