Galaxy On7 (2016) spotted on Geekbench with Exynos 7870 processor and 3GB RAM, may even have a fingerprint sensor

The Galaxy On7 (2016) is currently in the pipeline and previous benchmark results have shown that at least one variant of this handset is going to feature a 2GHz Snapdragon 625 processor with 3GB RAM, 13-megapixel rear and 8-megapixel front camera, a 4.8-inch Full HD display as well as 16GB of expandable storage. The SM-G610F – believed to be the Galaxy On7 (2016) for India – has now been spotted on Geekbench feature an Exynos 7870 octa-core processor coupled with 3GB RAM. The variant with the Snapdragon 625 may only be released in China.

That’s not all. The Galaxy On7 (2016) might very well be the first mid-range handset priced below Rs. 15,000 in India to feature a fingerprint sensor. Import listings from Zauba show that Samsung has imported “fingerprint assembly, fingerprint unit” for the SM-G10F in the country for testing and evaluation. It certainly won’t be surprising to see if the Galaxy On7 (2016) features a fingerprint sensor as there’s ample evidence now to support the possibility. No word as yet on when Samsung will unveil this handset in India.

Thanks, Asgar53!

Samsung will rely on meaningful innovations to corner the smartphone market

The Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge have helped Samsung regain a strong footing in the global smartphone market and the company certainly wants the momentum to continue. It’s now working to corner the smartphone market in advance by relying on meaningful innovation for the Galaxy ecosystem that speaks to consumers. The idea is to listen to what customers are demanding and follow through. That’s precisely what the company did when it brought back expandable memory and water resistance with the Galaxy S7 series.

“Meaningful innovations have to satisfy customers’ needs and challenge stereotypical thinking,” said President of Samsung Mobile Koh Dong-jin, adding that “If one listens close to voices of customers, there are still many innovations that still need to happen.” As a result of this shift in strategy Samsung will be focusing on creating technologies that customers want instead of creating technology just for the sake of creating new technology. Samsung introduced new meaningful innovations with the Galaxy Note 7 which improved the new S Pen that’s better than ever before as well as the iris scanner. Samsung will continue down this path of meaningful innovation to set its products apart from the competition.
