Samsung Galaxy S7 will sport a pressure-sensitive display and a high-speed charging port

Samsung will be adding a pressure-sensitive display along with a new high-speed charging port in its upcoming range of flagship devices. Among other innovative features, the South Korean tech giant might also consider adding a retina scanner to some versions of the flagship device.

According to The Wall Street Journal, people familiar with the matter suggests that the flagship range would sport a pressure-sensitive display technology which can gauge and differentiate variable amount of pressure applied on the touch screen. The responsive display technology would be somewhat similar to that of Apple’s 3D Force Touch used in the current iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.

The report also added that few models of the flagship range might also feature a biometric retina scanner and an improved camera sensor. Samsung is apparently keener on adding better and bigger features under the hood than overhauling its overall look and design.

Samsung may also incorporate a new high-speed charging and connection port to its new range of flagship devices, allowing a full day charge in just 30 minutes. As for the inclusion of the external memory, sources reveal that only the non-curved version would feature the microSD card slot.

In order to revamp its struggling smartphone sales, Samsung will equip the next generation of Galaxy S7 to capture consumer interest. This year the budget-friendly Chinese handsets along with Apple’s high-end iPhones continued to challenge Samsung’s leadership in the smartphone market, reports CNET.

To boast its sales, Samsung is not keeping any stones unturned and bring a legitimate mix of innovative features at a competitive price. The new flagship range of devices would likely be less expensive than the current Galaxy 6S lineup. Samsung is slated to launch its next generation of Galaxy S7 in late February at the Mobile World Congress 2016 in Barcelona. The new smartphones will go on sale in the United States by mid-March.
