Rumors about the upcoming Samsung flagship have been spreading like wild fire across the web. However, actual photos of the phone dubbed as the "Samsung Galaxy S7" have been scarce despite consumer interest - that is, until a few days ago, when supposed photos of the S7's chassis surfaced on Weibo.
The original poster actually says that the photo is of a "not yet released flagship phone", but people puzzled the pieces together and came up with "Samsung Galaxy S7". If the photo is really of "Samsung Galaxy S7", then rumors saying that the phone would look a lot like the "Samsung Galaxy S6" are actually true. The leaked design backs up the rumor that the next flagship's design won't change a lot from the "Samsung Galaxy S6".
There aren't any groundbreaking news here, but it may be our first look at the real "Samsung Galaxy S7", so it's still pretty much a big deal. This also backs up the rumors about the "Samsung Galaxy S7" to have a more rounded edges. As per TechRadar, it is possible that the phone will show up at the end of February at the Mobile World Congress. However, there are also news saying that the "Samsung Galaxy S7" may also launch as early as January.

It's actually quite surprising how less we see about the "Samsung Galaxy S7", considering how close the speculated release date is. It's probably because there isn't really much to see about the phone. It may actually look like a "Samsung Galaxy S6", only with different specs. Experts expect Samsung to put in more focus on the next flagship's internals rather than its physical look. It has only been this year when the company went for a flagship aesthetic overhaul, so it does makes sense to retain the design and just focus on what's inside the device.
There are news about the "Samsung Galaxy S7" to come in two size variants and there are also rumors about a liquid cooling system that it will come with. But the one major thing that most fans are expecting from the "Samsung Galaxy S7" is the substantial bump the phone's camera is getting.
