Rumour: Samsung to release the Galaxy S7 by the end of 2015?

Samsung is in the news again today with the rumour that the Korean tech company has plans to release the Galaxy S7 in the second half of 2015. This comes on top of the earlier rumour that Samsung will skip on releasing an Edge version of the Note 5.

According to the Korean-based news outlet, Newsis, Samsung is pushing its R&D department to develop the Galaxy S7 flagship faster so it can release the handset 2-3 months earlier than usual. This would mean that Samsung would be releasing two generations of its flagship Galaxy S range in 12 months, much like Sony does rather unsuccessfully with its Z series of handsets.

It’s difficult to determine just how plausible this rumour is. I would be very surprised if Samsung were to release two generations of its Galaxy S series of smartphones in one year, especially so soon after the traditional Galaxy Note release at IFA. But could it just be that Samsung is planning on releasing the Galaxy S7 a little earlier than usual? Sure, especially if the Note 5 is released a little earlier than is usual as well. If so, we still have at least a month and a half then until the Note 5 is announced, I’m sure we are going to see even wilder rumours in the meantime.

Let’s not forget that there’s also the rumour that Samsung is planning on releasing the Galaxy S6 Plus with a 5.4 or 5.5-inch display, possibly before the Note 5 makes its appearance.

Do you think that Samsung will release the Galaxy S7 later this year with the Note 5 making its appearance in August? And where exactly does the Galaxy S6 Plus fit in? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
