Samsung galxy s7 spec,price & release date
 |
| Galaxy s7 |
Samsung's Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge reinvigorated the flailing smartphone brand giving it a new lease of life with a fresh design and some brand new features.
Samsung is going to have to do a lot of work to be able to repeat the trick again, but there's much more that can be improved upon in the new phone.
We don't expect to see the new handset until early 2016 though – usually Samsung takes time out in early March to announce its flagships at MWC in Barcelona, so we expect it to be the same again this year.
However, rumors are already beginning to roll in for the new phone so here's everything we've heard so far.
Cut to the chase
- What is it? The next flagship phone from Samsung's Galaxy S line.
- When is it out? We expect early in 2016, potentially MWC in late February
- What will it cost? Expect expensive – it's bound to be one of the more costly phones to buy next year.
Samsung Galaxy S7: The techradar concept
When it comes to the new Samsung Galaxy S7, we want to see Samsung departing from the usual design of a standard, blocky phone.
What we want now is something innovative, something that pushes the boundaries and takes into account all the awesome technology Samsung keeps promising.
So here's how we think it should shake down – techradar's Galaxy S7, complete with all the technology Samsung has talked about… and some of our own desires too.
The main difference is, again, the screen. If Samsung is going to make a success of the Gear VR, it needs a better screen, and leaping forward to 8K will make shoving the phone on your face a pin sharp experience.
The other big thing we're hoping to finally see is the iris scanning technology that supersedes the fingerprint scanners we're seeing everywhere. With dual hi-res scanning cameras on the front, with enhanced aperture, simply turning the phone screen on will prove who you are.
The edges of the super sharp screen are now properly pushed to the side of the phone, with the notifications now showing properly either side – the S6 Edge has the curves as decoration, but now they're actually going to be used.
And bass-rich speakers on the top and bottom will utilise Samsung's omni-sound technology to make the phone a true media marvel – no more backwards-facing tinny sound here.
Of course, TouchWiz still remains… but hey, there's only so much we can hope for…
Samsung Galaxy S7 release date
A rumor from the South Korean website Newsis apparently cites insider sources who claim that Samsung started work on the Galaxy S7 about 2 to 3 months ahead of its usual schedule.
If this is true (and that's a big if, as the sources of this rumor are unclear and unverified), it could just mean that Samsung is eager to start work on the S7 as soon as possible to give it a longer development period.
However some people are getting excited because it could mean that Samsung is gearing up to launch the Galaxy S7 early, we might see a second Galaxy S flagship handset in 2015. In fact December has already been mooted as a potential Samsung Galaxy S7 release date, while another source points to a more vague late 2015 date - although we reckon that's highly unlikely.
Traditionally, Samsung usually releases one Galaxy S and one Galaxy Note flagship device a year, so it would be a big departure if it released the S7 in 2015. This rumor could just be a case of getting lost in translation, so we'd recommend caution when taking it at face value.
Samsung Galaxy S7 design
Given that Samsung has only just overhauled its flagship design for the Galaxy S6 we're not expecting massive changes in the Samsung Galaxy S7.
One rumour has suggested it's going to be much bigger than the Galaxy S6 with a 5.7-inch screen - we're taking that with a big pinch of salt though as it sounds quite out there.
There's no real hint at what we'll see yet, but a slim metal and glass build seems likely and whatever we get it's likely to be premium, especially as there's a rumorthat the battery won't be removable specifically because making it so would compromise the design.
Samsung Galaxy S7 screen
Interestingly there's talk that Samsung could offer the Galaxy S7 in two different sizes. One with a 5.2-inch screen and one with a 5.8-inch one and supposedly at least one of them will have a 4K display. Given there's already the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ though we wouldn't hold our breath for a phablet version of the S7.
Then again a benchmark believed to be for the Samsung Galaxy S7 claims it has a 5.7-inch display, so maybe it will be growing. It lists a 1440 x 2560 QHD one though rather than 4K.

Another rumor states that the Galaxy S7 may be coming with a curved screen. According to supply chain sources the phone will be launching with a flexible display after Samsung put in some big orders with Taiwanese manufacturers. It may end up being a separate version of the Galaxy S7 much like with the Galaxy S6 Edge, but it's interesting all the same.
There's even talk that Samsung will go further and deliver a foldable phone, but this seems incredibly unlikely. Even if the technology is in place (which is a big if) it's doubtful that Samsung would risk something so new and untested on its flagship.
Samsung Galaxy S7 rivals
In recent years HTC has been a significant rival to Samsung, launching similarly impressive phones at around the same time, so we'd expect the HTC One M10could be a Samsung Galaxy S7 rival. Very little is known about it yet but it's sure to be stylish and likely to be very powerful.
Other than that there's the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, which are likely to still be selling very well by early 2016, while the Sony Xperia Z6 or whatever Sony's cooking up next could steal some attention away from Samsung too.
Samsung Galaxy S7 camera and battery
An AnTuTu benchmark shows a phone believed to be the Samsung Galaxy S7 as having a 16MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing one. Those are the same camera specs as the Galaxy S6, but that has one of the best smartphone snappers around so that wouldn't be such a bad thing.
Another AnTuTu benchmark has also leaked showing a duo-camera on the phone in a similar vein to the HTC One M8.
-320-80.JPG)
There's no word on what size the battery will be yet but according to one rumorit won't be removable as it's apparently not possible to have a removable juice pack without compromising the design. Given that the Samsung Galaxy S6 has a sealed battery this doesn't really come as any surprise.
Samsung Galaxy S7 OS and power
The Samsung Galaxy S7 will almost certainly launch with Android Marshmallow. In fact snaps of supposed internal Samsung documents regarding its Android Marshmallow update have made their way onto social networking site Weibo, and appear to confirm the rumored Galaxy S7 codename 'Jungfrau' and a key spec of the upcoming flagship.
That spec is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor, which is expected to launch later this year and is set to feature in some of the biggest phones of 2016. That Snapdragon 820 rumor has since been echoed by other sources and in a benchmark.
The fact the Snapdragon 820 chip is being linked to the Galaxy S7 is interesting, as Samsung ditched Qualcomm's offering for the Galaxy S6, instead exclusively using its own Exynos processor. Samsung didn't disclose the reasoning as to why it opted to do this, but the current top-tier Qualcomm chip - the Snapdragon 810 - has been plagued by reports of overheating and patchy performance.
Perhaps this is a sign of Qualcomm's return to form in the chipset market, although it's too early to confirm either way. However while Qualcomm has been touted as the maker of the Galaxy S7's chip, other benchmark results have leaked onto the internet that claim to show Samsung's next SoC, the Exynos M1, could potentially power the new Galaxy.
These benchmarks show the hardware used to make the Exynos M1, and it looks like it uses a series of custom ARM cores. Intriguingly the benchmarks also show that the Exynos M1 is much more powerful than the Snapdragon 820 in almost every aspect.
While we'd advise taking these benchmarks with a pinch of salt it would mean that the Samsung Galaxy S7 could be a more powerful handset if it again shuns Qualcomm's hardware. Whatever processor we get we're expecting to see 4GB of RAM, not least because the Galaxy S6 Edge+ has that already.
Samsung Galaxy S7 other features
The Samsung Galaxy S7 is bound to have a fingerprint scanner, just like the Galaxy S6. There's also a rumor that Samsung will add a microSD card slot to next year's phone, but internal storage may take a hit, with only 32GB and 64GB models currently rumored.
Samsung Galaxy S7 cost
There's no word yet on what the Samsung Galaxy S7 will cost but we can tell you right now that it will be very expensive. While a price cut would be nice we'd be surprised if Samsung launched it for any less than it initially charged for the Galaxy S6. If we had to guess we'd say it could start at up to around £600 / $650 / AU$1,100.

Corning Gorilla Glass 4!!!could spell the end of shattered screens.
According to Corning, Gorilla Glass 4 is twice as tough as its nearest rival when it comes to protecting dropped phones. The company's researchers developed a series of drop tests that simulated real-world situations and then used the data from this to develop a new breed of glass that survives a 1 metre drop onto a rough surface 80 percent of the time.
It's not known when Corning Gorilla Glass 4 will be seen in handsets, but the company says that testing is currently underway with a number of customers, so hopefully it won’t be too long before extra protection comes to our screens.
Have you destroyed a phone by smashing its screen? Would you ditch your current phone in favour of one with Corning Gorilla Glass 4?
Battery tips for Galaxy Note 4.Try it ultimate way to save power
Make sure of the Galaxy Note 4 battery saving modes
Enable Power Saving modeIn its most recent smartphones, Samsung has included two battery saving features to help extend battery life: power saving mode and ultra power saving mode. Both are useful and obviously the latter takes saving those last milliamperes of juice to the next level. Power saving mode allows you to stop apps that are running in the background from using mobile networks. You can also turn on the Grayscale mode which will remove all the often battery-sucking colors and wallpaper.
Switch on the Galaxy Note 4 Ultra Power Saving mode
Ultra power saving mode goes a step further: it changes the colors of the screen to grayscale, restricts app usage to only allow essential apps and those selected by you, turns off mobile data as soon as the screen shuts off, and finally turns off other connectivity features like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Turn down the Note 4 screen brightness
If you don’t want to enable either of the features above, there are some other steps you can take to the reduce battery consumption, some of which are as simple as dimming the screen brightness. For this, swipe down the notification shade and untick the Auto box, then reduce the screen brightness to as low as you want.
Use a darker wallpaper
The biggest battery suck of them all is the screen and sometimes reducing the brightness won’t be enough. Getting a dark wallpaper or background will actually do wonders. Though this might sound like late advice, since one of the key reasons to get a Note 4 is because of how amazingly brilliant the screen is, if you are feeling desperate and manage to find a cool dark background (or go black), then this trick will help make your battery life just a little bit longer. Also, live wallpapers consumer more battery.
Ensure the Note 4 isn’t always listening
Having the "Ok Google" Detection for Google Search turned to always listening means that the phone is constantly awake waiting for you to ask it something, which is also a small cause of quick battery decline. You have to weigh what’s most important, battery or being able to quickly launch a voice search by saying Ok Google. If you choose the first, then you can easily turn this off in the settings of the Google Search by tapping on the search bar and then on the menu button on the bottom right corner. In settings under Voice, tap on Ok Google detection and make sure that the box is not ticked for Always on.
Update, update, update!
In the best case scenario, updating your Android phone or tablet should help increase battery life by ironing out any software bugs or problems that might be the cause of quick drain. Even if you might not be in store for an Android update, Samsung also pushes out other types of software fix updates that are worth installing because usually they fix existing pesky problems.
Turn off location services
Location services use up not only battery but also mobile data, so turning it off would be a good idea for saving both of these precious resources. Location services is found in the settings and if you aren’t willing to part with this feature, you can select the Power saving location service mode that will only use this feature when using Wi-Fi and mobile networks, instead of the default high accuracy mode which uses GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile networks.Get rid of animations
This method, like many on the list, can actually work for a bunch of devices, though some of them might slightly differ from phone to phone. Disabling animations is done in the Developer options of the phone settings. If you don’t have this otherwise hidden list showing up in the About phone section of your settings, you need to unlock it. To do this, tap on About Phone, and then tap on the build number until you see that Developer options has been activated. Hit back to get out of the About phone section and tap on the Developer options. Scroll down to where it says Window animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animator duration scale, and switch these all to off.
Disable vibrate for your email notifications
This is another small step which can actually take your battery a long way, especially if you get a lot of emails like me. Having your phone vibrate constantly can also be really annoying, but thankfully you can switch this off. If you are using Gmail, head into the app and then the settings. From there, select the account in question and tap on Inbox sound and vibrate. In here, untick the vibrate box.
Turn off Bluetooth, NFC and GPS
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has a great quick setting menu that you get to by swiping down from the top of the screen with two fingers. There you’ll find a bunch of toggles that you can easily switch on or off with a tap. They aren’t in alphabetical order so you’ll have to look around for the various services: turn off Bluetooth, NFC, and GPS if you don’t need them.Beware of widgets
Widgets can be sneaky little things: depending on the nature of the widget, they update quite often to show fresh information. Usually you will be able to change how often the widget updates in the app settings. For AccuWeather in this example, you can set it to not update automatically at all, for maximum effectiveness.

Know about the 12 things that you should not do with your Android smartphone
Your Android phone is many things: one of your most precious possessions, a statement of who you are, and maybe even the place where you keep your secrets. And yet many of us don’t protect our phones properly, or we do daft things that could do serious damage to our data or our reputations. What shouldn’t you do with your smartphone?
According to Paul Simon there are fifty ways to leave your lover, including “hop on the bus, Gus” and “make a new plan, Stan”. What would the list be like if he were singing about phones rather than partners? Would his Android anthem include such advice as “don’t forget to lock the screen, Gene”? Er, probably not, and it’d probably be rubbish - but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a sensible list of things you really shouldn’t do with your smartphone. Here are some of our favourites.
Don’t forget to lock the screen, Gene
The more we do on our phones, the more damage someone can do if they can get access to it - and one of the simplest ways to secure your phone is to lock it. There’s no shortage of great lockscreen apps on Android, and many of them add useful features as well as security.
Remember to update, Kate
It can be hard keeping tabs on which devices get Android updates, but it’s worth paying attention: each new version of Android is mightier than the last. Google Play Services keep the guts of your device current, but the big updates can make your phone feel brand new all over again.
Don’t charge it over USB, Dee
Chargers are not created equal: plugging your phone into your computer’s USB port doesn’t deliver as much juice as when you use a dedicated charger.
Don’t forget to back it up, Chuck
Your life is on your phone. Imagine how you’d feel if you lost the device and it took all your precious photos and top secret world domination plans with it. Backing up isn’t hard, and it’s a very necessary thing to do. As our Kris puts it, “getting good backup habits is like having good dental habits. It may not be the sexiest activity, but the alternative is far worse.”
Don’t store it all online, Caroline
Kris again: “If something happens to your cloud provider, what happens to your data? When MegaUpload shut down a while back there was a whole lot of uploaded data that simply vanished into thin air.” Cloud storage is a great thing, but whether data is in your device or on a faraway server if it matters to you, you should ensure that there’s more than one copy of it in circulation.
Don’t let it overheat, Pete
We’ve seen stacks of stories about exploding Android phones, and while the culprit is usually a badly made no-name knock-off battery or charger there are still charging issues you should consider. It’s a very bad idea to leave your phone somewhere warm when it’s charging, regularly letting your battery run to nearly zero is bad for its longevity and you should disconnect it when it’s fully charged.
Don’t leave the screen exposed, Jose
Gorilla Glass is great, but it can only do so much: while it takes a lot to break or seriously damage a smartphone screen, it also takes a lot of money to replace one if it does get damaged. Screen protectors and cases are a kind of gadget insurance: they’re worth buying because the potential costs of not using them are enormous.
Don’t leave it in the rain, Jane
Sony Xperia Z3 users can skip this one, because their phones are dishwasher-proof, but if your phone isn’t waterproof then dampness and extreme humidity are to your phone what sunlight and stakes are to Dracula. Water damage is one of the most common kinds of smartphone damage [http://www.androidpit.com/smartphones-dropped-in-toilet-buy-xperia-z3-or-galaxy-active], and even water resistant devices can only stay submerged for so long.
Don’t keep photos of your bits, Fritz
Everybody loves taking selfies, but if your shots are of the, ahem, intimate variety then it’s a very good idea to ensure they’re not in your photo gallery when you pass the phone to a friend, employer or church minister.
Don’t buy it on a plan, Jan
The worst way to buy a cutting-edge smartphone is on a monthly contract: as we discovered with theMoto X 2014, there’s a good chance of massive discounts within a few months of launch. The combination of SIM-only contracts and a little patience pays dividends.
Don’t let them see your tracks, Jack
If you’ve been using your phone to look at things you shouldn’t, such as, er, top-secret Christmas shopping you’ve been doing, you really don’t want anybody else to see the endless pages of red hot wrapping paper and saucy kindling that you’ve been looking at. The good news is that clearing your browsing history couldn’t be easier.
Don’t install dodgy apps, chaps
Almost all mobile malware targets Android - and in particular, it targets Android users who don’t pay attention to what they’re downloading and who frequent less reputable sources of apps. If you’re sideloading apps from Pirate Pete’s World of Warez, you’re asking for trouble.
What do you think? Are there any smartphone no-nos we've missed?
Warning! OTA updates fails on modified devices for Android 5.0 Lollipop
Android 5.0 Lollipop has been available as an OTA update for a number of devices for a few days now. Devices like the Nexus 5, Moto X and LG G3 already have access to the OTA update, and many more handsets are in line to receive it. But a change to the way the update process works means that for phones and tablets that have been modified, the OTA update will not work.
The update script used to upgrade from one version of Android to another has been changed. Now, rather than checking and updating individual files, the script looks at a device's system partition as a whole. This, as Android Police points out, means that anyone who has rooted or modified their Android phone or tablet in any way will find that the OTA update will fail.
However, this does not mean that all is lost. While slightly annoying, if you have modified your system partition all you need to do is reflash your device with a stock Android image. With this done you can then reattempt the OTA update and it should be successful.
Another option is to manually upgrade to Lolliop. Factory images for Android 5.0 Lollipop are available for some Nexus devices – we've looked at how you can install the update on a Nexus 5 and how to upgrade a Nexus 7 – and images will be made available for other handsets in the coming weeks and months.

Root Nexus 5 on Android 5.0 Lollipop
How to root Nexus 5 on Android 5.0 Lollipop
1. Make sure your phone has USB Debugging enabled in Developer Options. If you don't have this option in Settings already, go to Settings > About Phone and tap Build Number until the notification that Developer Options have been enabled pops up. Then back out a step and you'll see it at the bottom of your Settings menu.2. Make sure you have the Nexus 5 USB Drivers installed on your PC.
3. Double check your Nexus 5 battery is charged, and if not, charge that bad boy!
4. Open the ADB Tools folder on your PC. If you don't have it installed already download ADB Tools here.
6. Download SuperSU on your PC too.
7. Copy the SuperSU zip file to the root directory of your Nexus 5. To do this, connect your Nexus 5 to your PC with a USB cable and copy the file to the place where all the root folders are: not in a folder.
8. Download ClockworkMod custom recovery to your PC and put it in the Platform Tools directory also.
9. Restart your Nexus 5 in Fastboot. Turn it off, then press and hold Power and Volume Down until you see the Fastboot menu. You should still be connected to the PC with a USB cable.
10. Open a Windows Explorer window and head to the Platform Tools folder.
12. Type in the following command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-hammerhead.img13. You'll now be rocking ClockworkMod recovery. Use the volume keys to select Recovery Mode on your Nexus 5 and hit Power to enter it.
15. Scroll to the SuperSU zip you copied over earlier and press power to confirm your selection and got through the installation process.
16. Back out to main menu and reboot your Nexus 5.
17. The first boot will take ages (this is why you charged your battery) – don't freak out. Go have a cup of tea and let it do its thing. Do NOT unplug your phone from your PC or winged monkeys will fly through the window and do all kinds of terrible things to you.
Once your Nexus 5 has rebooted, that's it. You're rooted and ready to roll. Install RootChecker from the Play Store to confirm your root status and if you get stuck in a bootloop (meaning after a long time your phone still hasn't booted up normally), you can switch it off, reboot into Fastboot, go to Recovery and wipe data, wipe cache partition and reboot again. That should do the trick.
What's the first thing you're going to do with root on the Nexus 5 running Android 5.0 Lollipop!
