Despite still struggling to turn a profit, Samsung actually had a pretty good year – its four flagship devices this year were all fantastic, and although they didn’t sell as much as was originally suggested, it’s at least restored the Android community’s faith in the Korean manufacturer. With such success this year, we would have expected Samsung to do the same again this year with two flagships launched at MWC 2016, and another two at IFA 2016 (give or take a month), however a new report has suggested that there will be one less device, specifically that there will be no 5.2-inch Samsung Galaxy S7 edge.
Instead, Samsung will release the standard Galaxy S7 at MWC 2016 in February, and alongside it will be a phablet-sized Galaxy S7 edge. It’s unclear why Samsung would do this, or indeed whether this rumour holds any water, but presumably it has a lot to do with profit margins and the fact a phablet Galaxy S7 edge would attract a higher price. This adds credence to a previous rumour that suggested Samsung would only be releasing one dual curved display device in 2016 – now we just have the agonizing almost-two month wait to find out whether this is all true.
