This is the biggest Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge leak so far - see the Android flagships from all sides
By now, you're probably well aware that Samsung has scheduled the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge announcements for February 21st, which is tomorrow (Sunday) at the annual Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. Like most high-profile smartphones, almost everything there is to know about Samsung's Android flagship duo has leaked days and weeks in advance.
Today, fellow mobile tech website Android Headlines basically exploded with a complete gallery of photos that offer a look at Samsung's coveted flagships from nearly every angle The source who supplied the images has pre-retail units of both devices in their hands, and shared the goodness for all to see.
Looking at the photos, the Galaxy S7 Edge does seem to feature a larger display at 5.5-inches, compared to the Galaxy S7’s 5.2-inch display. However, the Galaxy S7 Edge doesn't appear to be much taller, which is good news for those looking for a larger display, without sacrificing on portability.
The photos displaying the homescreen show Samsung Pay is prominently featured amongst the Google apps. Close-ups also show what appears to be more sensors, possibly to control the always-on display like the sensors on Motorola devices. Also, the ‘About’ screen from the 'Settings' menu shows that the devices run Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. We can also make out the KNOX version, which appears to be 2.6. The Galaxy S6 launched with KNOX version 2.4, so it's possible that KNOX includes some new features and improvements.
