Samsung held their annual Unpacked event at Mobile World Congress 2016, officially unveiling their next generation Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge smartphones. Specs include:
- The Galaxy S7 sports a 5.1-inch QHD Super AMOLED display with 2560×1440 resolution, while the Galaxy S7 Edge wields a larger 5.5-inch dual-edge screen also at 2560×1440.
- When you pull the Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge out of your pocket or purse, you’ll be able to peek at basic information like the time, calendar, or notifications without touching or waking the display.
- Both devices also feature “Dual Pixel” 12MP cameras. Using dual-photodiode technology, this is an alternative to phase-detection auto-focus that’s supposed to work faster and better. Samsung also claims the rear shooters on the phones capture 95% more light through a wider f1.7 lens.
- Both are powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor
- 4GB of RAM
- 32GB of internal storage which is expandable via microSD
- 802.11ac MU-MIMO Wi-Fi
- BT 4.2
- NFC support
- Fast wireless charging
- 3,000 mAh (Galaxy S7) or 3,600 mAh (Galaxy S7 Edge) batteries
- Both are water-resistant and dust-resistant designs with IP68 certification that will withstand total submersion for 30 minutes.
The company also announced a new Gear 360 VR video camera and a partnership with Facebook-Oculus. The Gear 360 sports dual fisheye lenses each with high resolution 15MP CMOS image sensors capable of capturing 360-degree video at 3840×1920 and 30-megapixel (7776×3888) still images. When the Gear 360 is synced to a compatible Galaxy phone, you can preview footage in real-time using the phone as a remote.
Telus shortly after the announcement e-mailed me to say that the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge will be available in-store and online at Telus on March 11, with pre-orders opening today. To pre-order at Telus, customers can simply visit TELUS.com
To sweeten the deal and get the most out of their new smartphones, Telus customers who pre-order the new Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge, will also receive the Samsung Gear VR. This is a fantastic way for Galaxy owners to take their first step into virtual reality.
