Samsung Galaxy S7 Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Hinted; Development, Concept Image Fuel Hype

Leaks are now coming out of what’s in store for the future Samsung Galaxy handset iteration, the Samsung Galaxy S7.

Speculations on what the developments and possible features for the Samsung Galaxy S7 are already coming around this early despite this year's flagship still in the market. It helps that there are already sightings of the phone in testing, as it has already reportedly shown up in Android M internal testing documents.

The first noticeable thing about this is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 sighting that came with the documents, Phandroid reported. Jungfrau, said to be the codename for the Samsung Galaxy S7, may use the latest chipset coming from the company.

To avoid any heating issues, which other handsets have faced with some Qualcomm chipsets, the testing documents have also listed the 14nm FinFet technology. This will supposedly aid in heat and power management, given the new chipset. While the use of this chipset and processor may come as a surprise, it is still possible to see changes in the technology that will be used to power the Samsung Galaxy S7.

The development month may be shorter now that the South Korean company may be looking into shorter development processes to roll out the Samsung Galaxy S7 faster. But since there are still no concrete leaks of the device, fans are also looking at concept images of the possible look and features that the Samsung Galaxy S7 may have.

One such concept comes from Tech Radar, which features a very noticeable bezel-free 8K screen. Putting this feature will supposedly be a step forward in terms of it being a VR device, while the lack of bezels allows for app notifications as an enhancement from the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.

Eye scanning is also part of the concept, with dual cameras used for the iris-scanning technology. This would be an improvement to the fingerprint scanning technology that most high-end phones are sporting, to put the Samsung Galaxy S7 ahead.
