**Samsung Galaxy S7 Display: A Return to Form**
The display on the Samsung Galaxy S7 is expected to follow the same tried and tested formula that has made previous models successful. This means keeping with the 5.1 to 5.2 inch Quad HD display panel, utilized on the S6. While it's possible that Samsung may improve the efficiency and overall quality of the display, several reports suggest that they will stick with this design. The use of a mix of Qualcomm and Exynos chips is also expected, with the Snapdragon 820 in the US and China, and the in-house Exynos 8890 in other markets.
**Performance: A Familiar Formula**
The performance of the Galaxy S7 is expected to be great, thanks to the powerful processors. According to electronic times, Samsung plans to use a mix of Qualcomm and Exynos chips, both of which have been used on previous models. The Note 5 has 4GB of RAM, and it's likely that the Galaxy S6 will also feature this amount. However, some rumors suggest that Samsung may stick with 3GB of RAM, which is still very good for a smartphone.
**A Return to Micro SD Card Slots?**
There's been a rumor circulating among fans that Samsung has listened to its customers' voices and decided to bring back the micro SD card slot on the S7. While there's no technical reason why Samsung couldn't do this, it seems like a great way to win back some of its hardcore customers who have been clamoring for this feature. The average person may not even know what a micro SD card is, let alone how to use one, but geeks and enthusiasts love the flexibility that these cards provide.
**Camera: Two Distinct Rumors**
There are two distinct rumors surrounding the main camera on the S7. According to early November leaks, Samsung is planning to source the sensor from Sony, specifically the 25-megapixel IMX 300 sensor used in the Xperia Z5. This would be a significant upgrade over the camera found on previous models. However, another rumor suggests that Samsung may use an in-house ISO cell sensor at just 12 megapixels, with larger pixels for improved low-light sensitivity.
**Fingerprint and Pay: A Return to Old Forms**
It appears that Samsung will be returning to its old ways when it comes to fingerprint and pay technology on the S7. According to a Chinese source, Samsung will integrate Synaptics Clear Force technology, a force sensing solution that allows for more precise gestures and interactions. This is similar to Apple's 3D Touch technology, which has been widely praised for its innovation and usability.
**Leaks: A First Look at the Galaxy S7**
On December 10th, leaks released a video showing renders based on alleged schematics from the Galaxy S7. The leak claims that these renderings are fully independent of a previous report from GSM Arena.com. While we can't confirm the accuracy of this information without further evidence, it's clear that Samsung is planning to release an Edge variant of the Galaxy S7.
**The Future: A Bold Move?**
There's been speculation about whether Samsung will drop the regular flat version of the Galaxy S7 altogether and launch a 5.2-inch and a 5.8-inch model with dual curv displays. While this would be a bold move, it could give Samsung the unique selling point it needs to stand out from the crowd. However, there's also a risk that customers who dislike Edge screens may be turned off by this new design.
**Domain Name Domination: Can Canadians Keep Up?**
The world of domain names is dominated by Indians and Chinese companies, with many popular domains already taken. It seems like no matter how hard we try, we can't seem to come up with a creative domain name that makes us smile without someone else snatching it up first. We're looking for something that tells our story with the same degree of trust as an .com or .net domain extension.
