In our last week's report, a benchmark result for the rumored Samsung Galaxy S7 had surfaced, which revealed that the company is now testing out Qualcomm's next CPU, the Snapdragon 820.

And now, a new rumor has just popped up and it claims that aside from the upcoming device coming with a Snapdragon 820, it will also come with a dual front-facing camera, pretty much like the Lenovo Vibe S1 and HTC One M8.

According to Softpedia, various South Korean media outlets have been reporting that there is a rumor circulating, which suggests that the Samsung Galaxy S7 will come with a dual front camera. For those who are wondering why the phone needs to come with a front camera with multilens, the first lens is said to take the initial picture while the other one will help scan the depth of the photo as well as the other details necessary.

However, there's no concrete evidence yet to back up this rumor and for now, it's best to take this one with a grain of salt.

Meanwhile, in terms of specifications, Tech Radar has reported that there's a chance that the Samsung Galaxy S7 will come with two processors, one being the Snapdragon 820 and the other, the Exynos M1 chipset. As for the size of this device, word on the street indicates a 5.7-inch screen, which is a lot bigger than the previous model, Samsung Galaxy S6, has.

The phone, as reported on Tech Radar, is expected to be unveiled next year, in February.

For eager tech enthusiasts, it is best to tone down the anticipation as the phone is still in the early phase of development and the company had just recently released their Samsung Galaxy S6 Plus and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. The specs, or rumored specs rather, might not even make it to the final product, so it is best to wait for Samsung's official announcement.
