Samsung is particularly known for packing its devices with the highest specifications possible, and the company has pioneered numerous innovations in recent years. The most notable of these is the curved screen technology that is now almost indelibly associated with Samsung, and it is expected that this will become even more significant when the Galaxy S7 is released.

Samsung is now rumoured to be in talks with Sony to include the IMX300 Xperia Z5 camera sensor within the Galaxy S7, which are DSLR quality sensors, similar to what the Nexus 5X and 6P both have, and that it would be a 12-megapixel shooter.  It will also have support for RAW images, and feature a new video recorder mode. Likely to compete with the RAW features of video recording that LG added on the V10.

Aside from this, Samsung is also likely to upgrade the display technology included in the Galaxy S7. With Sony having released the world's first 4K smartphone in the shape of the Z5 Premium, Samsung is expected by many analysts to follow suit. It is also suggested according to recent rumors that the Galaxy S7 will follow the example of Apple and include a technology similar to Force Touch. This could utilize a system known as ClearForce, which is able to differentiate between a tap and a press to trigger different actions.

The expert believes that the next-gen handset will cost 10 percent lower than the Galaxy S6. This should easily give surety to bigger sales as the tech firm is basically offering up a more formidable device with a price much more manageable than what the competition puts up.

@#Sleannow, a known leaker has posted some photos of the new Galaxy A3 and A5 (2016) edition.  Samsung's Galaxy A-series devices first emerged last year as a new home for mid-range handsets, combining some solid specs with attractive, and more importantly, modern designs.

Specification wise, based on the entries we found in the GFXBench database, we will be looking at a 4.7" HD display on the Galaxy A3, and a 5.2" one on the Galaxy A5. The Exynos 7580 SoC should be under the hood of the A3, containing a quad-core 1.5GHz CPU and the Mali-T720 GPU. The Galaxy A3 will likely to have 1.5 GB of RAM, along with 16 GB of native storage, a 13MP camera, as well as a 5MP snapper in the front. The Galaxy A5 could come with a 5.2" inch 1080p screen, Exynos 7 Octa at 1.6 GHz, 2 GB of RAM, plus the same set of 13MP back and 5MP front cameras.

We expected to get some word soon on the pricing and availability of the Galaxy A3 and A5 in the U.S., but we think the Galaxy A3 (2016) version and Galaxy A5 (2016) edition should launch by the end of this year. At least that was Samsung's strategy for the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2015) version.
