Samsung Galaxy S7 To be Release, is it a Rumors ??

www.blackberryonly.blogspot.com

Given the popularity of Samsung’s major smartphones, it isn’t surprising that speculation is running rampant well ahead of the company’s blockbuster reveals, but what is a bit surprising is just how early it has started. Already, rumblings about the presumed successor to Samsung’s Galaxy S6, the Galaxy S7, have begun in earnest. It has been revealed that the Galaxy S7 has the codename of Project Lucky. We can’t think of a more appropriate name since the number 7 is often referred to as a “lucky” number.

The Camera may be major point of Sales

Samsung filed a trademark application for “BRITECELL,” and according to the listing, it’s an image sensor for mobile phones. It also sounds very familiar to ISOCELL, which is Samsung’s current sensor technology. ICOCELL forms a physical barrier between neighboring pixels, thus allowing more light to be captured. The name BRITECELL obviously is a play on the word “bright,” which would indicate that this sensor also deals with collecting more light.

A rumor in early November indicated that Samsung might ditch higher pixels in favor of better image quality. While the Galaxy S6 had a 16-megapixel camera onboard, the Galaxy S7’s camera could actually drop to 12 megapixels. However, the sensor size could increase to 1/2.0” (from 1/2.6″) and could be equipped with dual-PD (dual-photodiode) technology. The increased sensor size would allow more light while the dual-PD technology would offer a more accurate auto focus through phase detection. This could be exactly what BRITECELL is referring to, and if so, there is a good chance this rumor is true.

The move to a larger sensor would be similar to what Google did with the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P, in that those phones have 1/2.3″ sensors. Ironically, both of those phones are equipped with 12-megapixel (actual is 12.3) lenses too. At present, the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P have the largest sensors ever on a smartphone, but the Galaxy S7 would take the crown if this rumor is true.

It should be noted that a contrary rumor published on the Chinese social network Weibo at the beginning of November asserted that Samsung is talking to Sony, with the intention of securing the IMX300 camera sensor for use on the Galaxy S7. The IMX300 is apparently the same sensor used in the Sony Xperia Z5, and is rated at 23 megapixels. However, Samsung apparently wants to use both its own ISOCELL 20-megapixel camera sensor, and Sony’s sensor for the S7, meaning it’ll have to bring them both into line, megapixel-wise, to avoid differences in models.

The rumor is unconfirmed, and the source is unknown. Samsung used a mix-and-match strategy for camera components — with Sony — on the Galaxy S6, so the decision to use two different camera sensors in the S7 range wouldn’t come as a surprise. Sony has also acquired Toshiba’s CMOS sensor factory, increasing its ability to produce camera sensors. These two factors indicate that the rumor carries some weight.
Before this, Chinese suppliers reported in August that Samsung had begun sourcing components for a dual-camera array. Unlike the primitive twin shooters on the HTC One M8, Samsung’s implementation is said to focus on low-light performance and “accuracy.” One lens will supply color information, and the other will focus on brightness, sources claim. The device will then combine the metadata to produce photos up to “double” the quality of single-camera shots. In a move which may belie Samsung’s intentions, the company’s Exynos 7420 shipped with dual-camera support enabled.

Some sources inside South Korea are unsure if this tech will be used on the Galaxy S7, however. Samsung may have plans to test the waters with a dual-camera setup on another smartphone shortly after the Galaxy S7 launch. Samsung execs want to see how the market responds to a small batch of dual-camera phones, before implementing the tech inside the flagship smartphone, the sources say. Samsung reportedly has an end-of-year goal for the dual camera, meaning if it does change its mind, it will still have a few months before the Galaxy S7 launch to add the dual cameras to its flagship phone.

Similar design, Higher Quality

Samsung finally brought high-end materials to the Galaxy S6, and that trend is expected to continue. The S6 featured a frame made of 6013 aluminum with a glass back, making it the best Galaxy S phone in terms of quality.

However, the Galaxy S7 might go one step further. A report out of China in mid-October claims the phone will have a much stronger frame built from magnesium alloy. Samsung is also expected to utilize a similar glass back as well.

In a nutshell, the Galaxy S7 probably won’t look all that different than its predecessor, but it will be of a higher quality.

Powered by Qualcomm’s processors and Higher Spesification

The Galaxy S series has always been known for its awesome display, powerful processor, high amounts or RAM, and high quality camera, but its sound quality was never anything to brag about. That might change with the Galaxy S7 because a report out of China in mid-October claims that it will feature a high quality audiophile-grade Stereo D/A converter from ESS Technology.

This converter (SABRE9018AQ2M) debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2015, and is the world’s most powerful 32-bit converter. It features 129dB dynamic range and -120dB (0.0001 percent) harmonic distortion.

This report also claims that the Galaxy S7 will feature a 20-megapixel ISOCELL camera. However, it’s unclear whether Samsung will continue to use Sony sensors for certain models like it did with the Galaxy S6. Depending on the variant, the Galaxy S6 came with either an ISCOCELL or Sony sensor.
