Additionally, there are also unofficial Samsung Galaxy S7 image leaks showing us how the body looks like.  The normal Galaxy S7 is said to have a flat 5.2-inch screen, while the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge has a 5.7-inch display. Both will have curved glass on the top and bottom but the latter will have curved sides. The S7 and S7 Edge are expected to equip the Exynos 8 Octa or Snapdragon 820 chipsets, 4GB of RAM and a speculated 20 MP BRITECELL camera on the back, with a USD Type-C connector.

As always with such rumours, do take them with a healthy pinch of salt. No Malaysia release dates but we should know more in the next couple of months. Till then, stay tuned.
