The article says that “people familiar with the matter” provided information about design, features and release date of Galaxy S7. It must be noted, it is quite rare that such information is becoming known by more than 2 months before the official release.

Two versions of Galaxy S7

Despite the many rumors about the model Galaxy S7 Plus, Wall Street Journal says about two versions of the smartphone: standard Galaxy S7 with flat-screen and Galaxy S7 Edge with curved display.

Pressure-sensitive screen

The sources of WSJ says, that smartphones Galaxy S7 will have a pressure-sensitive screen that will perform the same functions as the 3D Touch of new Apple smartphones.

Synaptics can become producers of pressure-sensitive displays. Recently, this company announced its new technology ClearForce, which can be used in early 2016.

USB Type-C

Galaxy S7 will be equipped with a USB Type-C, as the latest smartphones Nexus. It also reported that the mobile device of the Korean company will charge in just half an hour, and maybe even faster. For comparison, let us remember that full charge of Nexus 5X is 1.5 hours.

Design

Design of new smartphones will be slightly updated. In general, Galaxy S7 will be similar to the previous generation.

MicroSD slot

One source told the WSJ, that the standard model Galaxy S7 will have a slot for MicroSD cards.

Camera

Camera will receive significant improvements for work in low light conditions. In addition, the camera module is flush with the main body of the smartphone. If this information is correct, then Samsung has finally found a way to use high-quality camera without bulges on the body.

Released date Galaxy S7

The Wall Street Journal claims that the Galaxy S7 goes on sale in the US in mid-March. The presentation will be held at MWC 2016, on February 22-25 in Barcelona. Earlier there were rumors that Samsung may release Galaxy S7 earlier, but the WSJ report confirms the information about the presentation at MWC.

Even if you have a smartphone with 32GB internal memory and more, you also use the MicroSD card as the internal memory.

However, there are some nuances. Android-application developer StereoMatch did some experiments and discovered that Android 6.0 Marshmallow really allows you to use an external storage device as an internal memory, but it is not so simple.

When Android 6.0 Marshmallow sees that you have inserted the MicroSD memory card, the system will ask whether you want to MicroSD card worked as an external memory or internal storage.

If you choose the external memory, the operating system will consider the MicroSD card as a removable storage device, as it was in earlier versions of Android. Thus, you can store movies, photos, music, and photos to MicroSD card, but not a games or an applications.

If you choose MicroSD card as the internal memory, it is encoding. After you formatted the MicroSD card will only work for internal storage. If you try to run it through the computer, the card does not work.

Also, if you go to the section “Storage and USB-drives” setting in Android, you do not even see that smartphone has more built-in memory. You will only see the free space that is available to MicroSD card.

Of course, you can still install applications on a real built-in memory and the card MicroSD, which has been formatted, and now works as an internal memory. But if you phone has 8 GB of internal storage and 32 GB MicroSD card on, you can use only 32 GB for all content, such as movies, games, music and other files, rather than 40 GB.

But what is more important: a real built-in memory of the smartphone is faster than any card MicroSD. Therefore, if you have a smartphone with 32 GB of internal memory, we do not recommend to use the new feature.

On the other hand, if you have a cheap Android smartphone with a 4 GB or 8 GB of internal memory, you can use a MicroSD card to increase the built-in memory, but you should be prepared that your phone will run a little slower.
