Samsung Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, S7 Edge+ Rumors: Samsung To Launch Three Devices In One Big Event?
While the launch of Samsung's next set of flagship devices, the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge, seem imminent, a recent leak indicates that the Korean company may have one more device up its sleeve. According to a Tech Times report, Samsung may be planning to launch not just two, but three flagship devices, which includes the Galaxy S7 Edge+, during the upcoming Mobile World Congress in March.
Last year, Samsung held an Unpacked event during the Mobile World Congress where it unveiled the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge. The Galaxy S6 Edge+ was launched separately in August 2015. This year may be an exception to this predictable schedule as recent leaks point to a big event that will launch all three devices.
The leak comes courtesy of known tipster Evan Blass who released an image, through this Twitter account @evleaks, of what looked like the logos of the Galaxy S7, the Galaxy S7 Edge and the Galaxy S7 Edge+. It may also be assumed by looking at his tweet that Samsung is planning a big event for the launch. The next big technology event where this is most likely to happen is the upcoming Mobile World Congress in March, to be held in Barcelona.
