The Samsung Galaxy S7 just got a little more interesting.
Because according to Forbes' sources, Samsung is about to make a U-turn and give the upcoming phone an expandable memory.
Samsung decided last year to remove the microSD slot in the current Samsung Galaxy S6, However, if rumors were correct, the upcoming phone from the Korean tech giant will see the return of expandable memory.
As reported by Know Your Mobile, just a few years ago, Samsung was the undisputed second-place smartphone to Apple's iPhone. Although the company is far from saying that it's experiencing "bad years," it has certainly not enjoyed the same dominance it possessed during the early years of the "Galaxy" line.
In both 2014 and 2015, Samsung has not achieved the sales figures it expected, thereby profits and market shares have declined. As noted, this was attributed initially to the coldly received Galaxy S5, but even with the current Galaxy S6 receiving better reception, sales figures is nowhere Samsung expects it to be.
According to several reports, the company is looking to further reduce its workforce before the end of the year in order to cut costs. Despite Samsung delivering very great devices in the form of the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 EDGE, it still failed to even give Apple a dent on its sales.
However, things are about to change now.
Another report from PC Mag said that, in addition to the microSD slot, the upcoming smartphones will also adopt the USB-C. We know these are just minor features, but they are still important.
One major factor why some choose the Samsung Galaxy over the iPhone is due to the expandable memory. Sure, some are satisfied with 64GB or even 128GB, but with an expandable memory, imagine having a small device that can accommodate data as much as a tiny laptop can.
In addition to that, International Business Times reported that the Samsung Galaxy S7 will also feature a curved display on the Top, Bottom and Sides, very unlike the Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE.
Rumors are saying that consumers are getting tired of the usual "slate" form factor over its smartphones, prompting Samsung to try and give their upcoming device a little tweak.
A concept design, recently created by 3D Future Studio, showed a trapezoid-shaped design of the Samsung phone, based on a patent filed by the company.
And even though the design looks rather "over-the-top" and surreal at the time, trust in Samsung to manage to pull this one off.
