Galaxy S7 parts specifications appear: large 1/2.5" camera sensor size and a powerful speaker

There has been an unprecedented barrage of leaks and speculation surrounding the most anticipated phone of the season –

Galaxy S7

- to the point where we're starting to wonder what's left to know, and whether Samsung cares more about leaks, like in the past.

S7 edge

sidekick is pouring in from the least expected places - maybe that's why Samsung can't control the flooding.

In today's episode of

Galaxy S7

and S7

Edge

leaks, we bring you a somewhat amusing confirmation of the full spec sheet, courtesy of an obscure Spanish bank - La Caixa - that has jumped on its Samsung Pay collaboration campaign, and an internal poster for its cooperation has leaked .We immediately went to the La Caixa website and searched for Galaxy S7.

appeared, along with an HTML blurb containing the "Galaxy S7" mentioned in the code, so the poster you see in the slideshow below is most likely real.

Admittedly, the datasheet listed there uses

, but the bank still seems happy to accept it, so speculation about the specs we've listed might turn out to be legitimate, after all. So far we've seen tangential evidence on everything mentioned here, except for the pressure sensitive display, so this one might be out of the picture by the end.

What about this rumor

, however, anything new about it? Well, we're glad you asked that, because its specs have also been leaked, thanks to the Zauba import database, where a bunch of parts for a handset SM-G930F have been listed. The G930F is none other than the

international version of the Galaxy S7

, so the ads definitely caught our interest.

Tucked away among other interesting S7 tidbits like the fact that it will have dual 1.2W speakers (one is likely the earpiece) and the generous 1.5W power, respectively, is a treasure trove of information on the 12 MP camera module. The unit is apparently with a 1/2.5" sensor size, which is large for a mobile phone, and at this resolution means individual pixels will be larger than the typical 1.12 micron ones you might find in your average phone, so capable of collecting more light, at least in theory. Quick calculations for a 1/2.5" sensor with a width of 5.76mm and a height of 4.29, and 12 million light-gathering buckets on it, return a

pixel

size of at least

1.4

microns, depending on the space between the pixels. It's about the same pixel size in the

Iphone 6

camera, but, of course, at a 50% higher resolution of 12 megapixels.

In any case, opt for a number of resolutions lower than the previous one

Galaxy S6

edition, but bigger pixels, is a welcome change from the unnecessary race for megapixels and should help the Galaxy S7 perform quite well in low-light scenarios. , we can't wait to grab the first samples of the S7 for comparison. That moment shouldn't be far off, because

we are armed and ready for the MWC expo

, eager to bring you everything we learn about Samsung's next best thing as quickly and completely as humanly possible. Stay tuned.
