Galaxy S7 Specs and Features

Thanks to a slew of leaked screenshots, benchmarks, photos of the actual device and more, we have a pretty good idea of what's coming. Here’s everything we know so far about the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge specs based on leaks, FCC filings, benchmarks and rumors.

What buyers need to know is the Galaxy S7 will look very similar to last year, but have a few key new features that were missing in the Galaxy S6. The battery has been increased to 3,000 mAh (and 3,600 for the Edge) and users can expect a micro-SD slot for storage expansion. These were two of the biggest complaints last year. To make things even better it should also be IP67 dust and water resistant.

Sounds good right? Hopefully the new curved back doesn't make it less durable when dropped, but we'll have to wait and see.
