Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Coming Out January 2016
Samsung is reportedly gearing up for a January launch for its new flagship devices Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge in an effort to gain traction over Apple's iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.
Although Samsung has recently launched its new Galaxy Note 5 phablets with colors that are similar to the iPhone 6s Plus' variants, their specs are no match for the new Apple smartphones. To compete with its biggest rival, the South Korean tech giant will unveil the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge by mid-January, according to Tech Times.
Samsung was originally set to launch the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge in February 2016, but rumor has it that the firm has moved the event to an earlier schedule. The new launch date is noticeably very close to the Mobile World Congress, Latinos Post (LP) reports.
