A new report from a former leaker suggests Samsung looked to older flagships for inspiration for the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge.
Sources speaking to Evan Blass reveal that the S7 and S7 Edge will bring back features from the Galaxy S5 that were missing in last year's flagship, namely a microSD card slot and IP67 water resistance.
This isn't the first time we've heard rumors of Samsung bringing back these features, along with rumors the S7 flagships will also add a larger battery for both handsets: 3000mAh and 3600mAh for the S7 and S7 Edge, respectively.
The report also claims the handsets will be powered by Exynos 8 Octa 8890 chipsets, though the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 has also been previously rumored in the past.
Either way, 4GB RAM is said to help keep things running, with 32GB and 64GB variants offered for both Galaxy S7 models.
Look familiar?
Images from the report and in a Twitter post also suggest that Samsung has chosen to keep the design of the S7 and S7 Edge very close to last year's Galaxy S6.
The Galaxy S7 Edge may also come with a slightly larger display size at 5.5 inches, though both handsets will sport Super AMOLED, 1440 x 2560 QHD screens with always-on display tech.
Of course, we've been hearing a lot surrounding the Galaxy S7 handsets over the last few weeks, so while this report does corroborate with a number of other rumors, we're still a few weeks from Samsung's expected announcement.
As for when that will be, Samsung has recently taken to unveiling its Galaxy S flagships at MWC, which will be held February 22 – February 25 this year.
It's expected Samsung will continue the trend and announce the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge on the 21 (the date on the leaked image above is February 21 – a clue?), with a roll out beginning soon after in March.
