Samsung could launch the Galaxy S7 earlier than expected

It looks like Samsung might be preparing to launch the Galaxy S7 a little earlier than expected as a Chinese network provider has leaked images of an internal presentation, revealing slides for the Galaxy S7's release. According to the slides, we can expect the Galaxy S7 to be revealed in February and presumably we will also see the Galaxy S7 Edge.

This would be a pretty big change for Samsung as typically its flagship Galaxy announcements have landed somewhere in Q2. That said, even if the Galaxy S7 is announced in February, there is no guarantee that it will release that month, as was the case with the Galaxy S6, which was announced in March and hit stores in April.

The downside to this is that the Galaxy S6 will have had a fairly short ten-month life-cycle. However, this wouldn't be the first time Samsung has taken this approach, as the Galaxy Note 5 also launched earlier than expected last year, cutting the Galaxy Note 4's life cycle down to ten months as well. As Forbes points out, this will also give Samsung a longer head start on next year's iPhone release.

KitGuru Says: While Samsung's Galaxy line of smartphones remain popular, sales do seem to be in decline still, even after the S6 re-design. It will be interesting to see if the company does anything differently in 2016. Are any of you currently using a Samsung device? Are you planning on upgrading in 2016?

  1. Nope looking at other options because they took away the removable battery and external storage. Most users feel this way. If we wanted an iphone, we would buy one! Want to increase sales….LISTEN TO THE CUSTOMERS! I was a diehard Samsung fan until the above options were taken away. I know of 6 people who switched to Iphones bc of these options being taken away. My 5 lines wil not be Samsung anymore!

  2. You switched to iPhone because Samsung ditched the expandle memory and removable battery… which is the case for iPhones too. I’m confused.

  3. What is there to be confused about? I said I will be looking at other options. I know of 6 people who have switched to Iphones. No I have not switched to an Iphone. By Samsung taken away the two options listed they took away key features that set it apart from Iphones Iphones do not offer removable batteries or external storage, hence the statement if we wanted iphones we would buy them.

  4. The advantage Samsung had over the Iphone was the fact you could swap out your battery and put in an sdcard, Samsung are acting like fools they are basicly training their users in the Apple way of doing things, so much easier to lose their customer base to Apple. Don’t get me started on the curved screen model, just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

  5. When I convinced my GF to switch to a galaxy S5, the argument that I gave her as to why to make the change was because of Samsung’s unique features. I told her that she could get a 64GB brand name SD card from walmart for $25 and that in a year when her battery perfomance declined she could easily replace it at a low price and without having to go into a store and wait for them to do it. It was a very bad move on Samsung’s part to remove the very thing that sets them apart and attracts customers. Since they took away the replaceable battery and the SD card, there is no reason not to buy an iphone. Keep in mind that I hate iPhone when I say this. I skipped getting the S6 even though I usually get a new phone every year because of my work ( unfortunately, this comes out of my pocket and isn’t a freebie). I could live without the replaceable battery but to me the SD is non-negotiably a requirement. I think that if I had to replace my phone today due to something happening to it, that I would go buy another S5. Another good thing about the S5 is that it is waterproof. This used to not be important to me until i was out hiking and got caught in a downpour and my S3 got ruined by water damage. The LG V10 seems like it may be an option but I don’t think it is water proof. I really love Samsung Galaxy phones and I wish they would bring back the key features that I have mentioned.
