JThorson Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Has anyone heard the rumor of Samsung using liquid cooling in the phone? That could be a game changer if it works efficiently and allow higher specs while keeping things cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JThorson Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 http://www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspence/2016/02/10/samsung-galaxy-s7-amoled-ambient-display/#6c829aa48ca1 Unlike an LCD panel which has a full screen backlight behind the pixels (even the black ones) drawing heavily on the battery, an AMOLED screen can illuminate individual pixels. If you have a black screen, there’s no actual power being drawn. Trigger a few pixels to put information on the screen and while it still draws power, it draws significantly less power than an LCD screen showing the same information. This could be real useful on both models but I could see it being a main feature for the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the LG "Always On" for the G5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overstew Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 So, it looks pretty but it is the same design as the S6/Note 5. Actually, it is the Note 5, just smaller. I'm going to hold out and see what HTC has in store for its M10. Although I've seen the leaks it may not be what it actually looks like and I'm open to any device that has the Snapdragon 820.

Qualify that. Same general external design. If you're hung up on that and looking no further, you get what you deserve. The guts are very different. Just the external format is similar. That format wasn't broke so there was nothing to fix there. Electrically, HUGE difference, so your statement as written is entirely incorrect. New radios, weather resistant, sd card, new computing architecture, talk of a new display technology, newest OS compatibility, newest gorilla glass, about the only thing likely missing is USB-c. The lack of a user replaceable battery may not be a big deal if they have the latest battery and charging tech incorporated for durability. What else did I forget?

By that rule, then there is no guarantee the images are accurate either. " Samsung Galaxy S7 Rumors thread " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
