Galaxy S7: New Leak Confirms Lack Of USB Type-C Port

Updated on

Samsung is just a couple of days away from unveiling its flagship Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge in Barcelona. There is no stopping the leaks and rumors related to the upcoming phones. Now a Weibo user has shared an image of the bottom panel of the Galaxy S7 that may disappoint those who were expecting a USB Type-C port. In the leaked image, the S7 can be seen sporting a regular Micro-USB port rather than a USB Type-C port as previously rumored.

Some disappointed, but a few others must be happy

It indicates that Samsung has chosen to stick to the tried and tested method, while postponing the Type-C. The Galaxy Note 6 is rumored to feature a USB Type-C port. Of course, some people who have many micro-USB cables would be happy with Samsung’s decision. In another leak, Evan Blass of VentureBeat shared an image of silver galaxy S7 on Twitter.

Separately, Russian blogger Eldar Murtazin said in a tweet that the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge will get Always-On display.
