China Mobile has listed the Galaxy S7
release date as March 2016
|
It is expected that
Samsung will unveil its 2016 flagship smartphone - likely to be called the
Galaxy S7 - on the sidelines of Mobile World Congress in the last week of
February. And, following a report last week that claimed the phone would be
launched just weeks later, there is now confirmation from the world's biggest
mobile network that the premium smartphone will be available in March.
During an end-of-year
event that looked forward to the new smartphones launching in 2016, China
Mobile revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S7 would be launched in the third month
of the year and would be priced in the 3,000+ yuan ($465+) category. Samsung
has been rumored to be cutting the price of the Galaxy S7 compared to the
Galaxy S6 by as much as 10 percent, but this slide doesn't give us any further
indication of what exactly the price will be.
The Galaxy S7,
according to a report in the Wall Street Journal - which also mooted the March
launch date- said the new smartphone would be similar to the Galaxy S6 in terms
of design, but would feature a pressure-sensitive screen similar to the iPhone
6S' 3D Touch feature. The phone is also said to feature a microSD card slot,
USB-C charging and data transfer port and possibly a retina scanner for better
security.
