HTC One A9 won't be getting Verizon support, buyers can get a refund

The devices are apparently part of Samsung's first phase of android 6.0 upgrades which also feature updates for other devices like Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge in April, Galaxy s5 and Galaxy Tab S2 in May and for the Galaxy Alpha in June. BGR India has now learnt that Samsung is planning to launch the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge in India as early as next week. Previously, a supposed roadmap also appeared, indicating that Samsung flagships like the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge will get their Android Marshmallow updates in February. While there is no official date mentioned for the launch of these devices, we can expect that to happen soon as they already got certified by TENAA. Like Apple's recently announced Trade Up With Installments plan, it allows owners of current Samsung Galaxy devices to upgrade their phones to the latest model after 12 months at not cost. Both Galaxy S7 and S7 edge smartphones sport similar hardware. One of the differences between the two is the presence of a 3600mAh battery in the Galaxy S7 Edge compared to the 3000mAh battery in the Galaxy S7. Both are Super AMOLED displays with QHD (2560×1440 pixels) resolution.

- a Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 820 chipset, a quad-core processor formed from a dual-core Kryo processor clocked at 2.15GHz and a dual-core Kryo processor clocked at 1.6GHz and an Adreno 530 graphics card. It has 16GB of internal storage along with a MicroSD card slot for further expansion of storage. Under the hood, the Galaxy J5 packs a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, up to 16GB of built-in memory storage, and support for 4G. To address the issues of heating, Samsung has incorporated liquid cooling technology in these two devices.

The camera protrusion has also been reduced in the new phones, from 1.68mm to 0.4mm. The devices will be available starting mid-March.
