The Internet is buzzing with Galaxy S7 rumors ahead of Samsung’s imminent announcement. We’ve seen plenty of benchmark leaks that suggest the upcoming Galaxy S7 series will sport impressive hardware, and there are rumors detailing some of the phones’ brand new features, including functionality that’ll mimic the iPhone 6s new features.

On top of that, a new leak seems to provide believable display information about the Galaxy S7 edge, which will be this year’s curved flagship handset from Samsung, as well as new details surrounding the regular “flat” Galaxy S7.

According to import site Zauba, which provided similar details about unreleased devices in the past, a “sample Samsung mobile” phone with model number SM-G935R4.S-5.5 arrived in India from South Korea on January 20th, right alongside a device that has model number SM-930R4-5.1.

That model numbers indicate that the two devices will have 5.1-inch and 5.5-inch displays. The SM-G930R4 appears to be the Galaxy S7, according to SamMobile, and it’ll have the smaller screen. Meanwhile, the SM-G935R4 should be the Galaxy S7 edge, packing a larger 5.5-inch display.

Other characteristics, as revealed in many recent leaks, include Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 and Exynos 8890 processors, 4GB of RAM, 32/64GB of storage, microSD support, a 12-megapixel rear camera, a 5-megapixel front camera and Android 6.0 Marshmallow under the hood.
