Exclusive: Galaxy S7 and S7 edge have microSD slot, pricing and screen sizes confirmed

Sorry folks, but we have yet another bout of details about the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge to share with you. These details come from a source inside the supply chain, and confirm many of the things we have heard until now.

Yes, there will be a microSD slot on both phones, as a leak earlier today reiterated. The screen sizes are also confirmed to be 5.1-inch and 5.5-inch on the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, which means Samsung has taken inspiration from its fiercest competitor (which took inspiration from the Korean giant when it launched a 5.5-inch version of the world’s most popular smartphone) and wants to please fans of both small and large phones at the same time. You will be able to opt for a large Galaxy S flagship instead of waiting for the next Note or settling for a non-flagship phablet, or give up the Edge screen to get a smaller screen size.

In terms of pricing, there isn’t much change compared to the Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 edge/S6 edge+. The 32GB models of the S7 and S7 edge will be priced at Euro 699 and 799 respectively (the 64GB models should be priced around Euro 70-80 higher, though our source didn’t say so). The two phones will be announced in February; our source says they will go on sale during the same month, which would be faster than even the Note 5 and S6 edge+ if the rumored February 20 date of the Unpacked event is correct.

We tend to believe what our sources tell us, and while we are willing to do the same in this case (this source has offered solid information in the past), don’t forget to keep the salt container handy. We are working to get more information on Samsung’s next big (and bigger) thing, and will continue to report on information from both ours and others’ sources.

Rumor: Galaxy S7 looks like a small Note 5, camera module protrudes very slightly

Well, we have new information to add to the ever-increasing barrage of rumors around the Galaxy S7. An anonymous source of ours, who has supposedly seen the device in the flesh, has reached out to us to share a few details on how the regular Galaxy S7 will look like. Apparently, the flat Galaxy S7 looks more or less like a smaller version of the Galaxy Note 5. The phone has curves at the back similar to the Note 5 and like Samsung’s Tizen-powered Z3, with the same round home button as Samsung’s current implementation.

A round home button isn’t surprising, but given leaked case renders had hinted at Samsung changing it to something squarish, it’s something we think is worth mentioning. The source also mentions that the camera module on the Galaxy S7 will protrude out of the body much less than it does now. A major Galaxy S7 leak earlier today said that the camera would sit flush, but our source says otherwise. A protruding camera sensor suggests the S7 might not feature a battery as large as the 3,000 mAh unit rumored today, though the fact that it will protrude less than current Galaxy flagships also suggests the company might have increased the thickness of the phone ever so slightly to accommodate the larger battery.

Like we have been pointing out, don’t take anything of this information seriously until we see some concrete leaks. There is just too much the rumor mill is churning out at this moment when it comes to Samsung’s next big thing, so it would be best to not come to conclusions lest the company decides to disappoint us with the final product.

Thanks, Anonymous!

Rose Gold and Platinum Gear S2 classic spotted at CES

The Gear S2 is currently available only in black and white colors, but it looks like Samsung is keen on releasing it in more colors options since Apple and Motorola are already doing it with their smartwatches.

The Gear S2 classic has been spotted in two new colors – Rose Gold and Platinum – at CES 2016. We had reported a couple of weeks ago that Samsung might launch Platinum and Rose Gold color variants of its first smartwatch with a completely circular display.

The South Korean smartphone giant seems to be in love these colors since the Galaxy A (2016) series smartphones are already available in Pink Gold color, while the Galaxy S6 edge+ and the Galaxy Note 5 are available in Platinum color. We will let you know once these new colors for the Gear S2 classic launch at the CES.

Gear S2 gets full QWERTY keyboard app, way to start messaging conversations from the watch

The Gear S2 is an amazing smartwatch, plagued only by a shortage of compatible apps and not-so-great compatibility with existing Android apps, at least when compared to Android Wear smartwatches. But third-party developers have been picking up the slack lately, and we now have two very useful apps available for Samsung’s most beautiful smartwatch.

The first is an app that solves a fundamental issue with smartwatches. For messaging apps, both Samsung’s Tizen and Google’s Android Wear platforms only let you reply to incoming messages through their notifications. If you dismiss a notification, you can’t reply to that particular message, and nor can you initiate a conversation with a contact yourself. XDA Developers member tipztv has developed an app to get around those limitations, with the app supporting popular messaging apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Google Hangouts, Line, KakaoTalk, Skype and Viber.

The app – seemingly called Chat Hub – isn’t available for the Gear S2 yet, as the developer is waiting for Samsung to approve it. But once (and if) it gets approved and published on the watch’s app store, you will be able to start conversations with your friends whenever you want right from the Gear S2, and you will also be able to manage chats in all the apps listed above from a single location. There is no support for keeping logs of previous conversations, though the developer doesn’t make it clear what exactly this limitation means.

As for the QWERTY keyboard, that app is called Agile Keyboard and is already available for the watch. In addition to offering you a full keyboard layout on that tiny screen, Agile Keyboard supports hundreds of emoji (as the app description notes, these might look different from the ones on your phone, but the expressions will remain the same). Despite the small screen, typing using this keyboard isn’t a big hassle, though some will no doubt fall back on Samsung’s T9 keyboard, which also offers word prediction.

Agile Keyboard is available on the Gear Apps store as a 2.94 MB download and can be activated from the Settings » Input menu on the watch. Head into the store to get it on your Gear S2, and let us know how you find the experience of typing with a full QWERTY keyboard on a 1.2-inch display! We will update this post once Chat Hub goes online on the Gear App store.

Windows 10-powered Samsung Galaxy TabPRO S leaked

We reported about four months ago that Samsung was working on a Windows 10-powered 12-inch tablet, this would be the first Windows product from Samsung in quite some time now, and it looks like we won’t have to wait for it much longer. Renders of the Windows 10-powered Galaxy TabPRO S have leaked online today, they come from a source who has a pretty solid track record of leaking unreleased devices.

The renders aren’t accompanied by specifications so it’s unclear what this tablet is packing under the hood, previous reports suggest it may feature a 2560 x 1600 or 3840 x 2400 pixel resolution 12-inch display with a 13nm Intel Core M processor coupled with 4GB RAM. It’s even said to have an S Pen to boost its productivity features. No official word as yet on when this tablet might arrive but seeing as how Samsung has an event lined up at CES 2016 later today it’s quite possible that we might see this tablet being unveiled in Las Vegas a few hours from now.
