Now that the Galaxy S6 is out, let’s envision the future

The Galaxy S6 can be considered Samsung’s best work to date, and the Galaxy S6 Edge is even more appealing, aesthetically speaking. But even if the two flagship models have made their debut into the wild, it doesn't mean the imagination of conceptual designers isn't already conjuring the future.

Which brings us to the Samsung Galaxy S7 - a model which will probably see the light of day at MWC 2016 next year.

Samsung has listened to customers’ complaints when it comes to the Galaxy S6. The phone is no longer made of plastic and the TouchWiz interface onboard has been trimmed down to acceptable levels. But what could make a future Samsung flagship even better?

The folks at iGalaxyS7Samsung have come up with a concept design for the Galaxy S7 that completely eliminates bezels from the equation. The envisioned phone has a characteristic squarish design and even the home button has lost its curved edges.

Imagining next year's flagship

The source is exaggerating the specs a little bit, saying that the Galaxy S7 might bring 6GB of RAM to the table. The Galaxy S6 only has 3GB of RAM on board, even if phones with 4GB of RAM like the ASUS ZenFone 2 have been launched on the market.

As for hardware, the Cyclone HMP technology (recently used by Apple in the latest iPhone chipset) is said to be used for the chipset in order to allow a true octa-core 3.x GHz processor to go under the hood. The display is said to be a 4K one given the fact that QHD displays are the standard for flagships now.

A Super AMOLED panel from Samsung’s own garden will probably don the front of the handset, and we’re also told about a hefty 20MP camera sitting on the back.

This is just a concept, but the reality of things might be a lot different. In an earlier piece, we told you that Samsung might be ready to roll out a foldable smartphone in 2016.

Such an atypical phone will certainly gain the status of flagship device, just like the Galaxy Note Edge did. Well, come 2016, we might see Samsung roll out not two top-tier devices, but three - a regular Galaxy S7, a Galaxy S7 Edge, and a foldable Galaxy S7 Edge.
