There's a 12-megapixel camera with dual-pixel phase-detection autofocus, OIS, and 4K video recording on the rear, and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera.

The Galaxy S7 comes equipped with a 3,000 mAh battery, while the Galaxy S7 edge comes with a massive 3,600 mAh battery. Both these smartphones also feature fast wired as well as fast wireless charging. The pricing of both these smartphones is expected to be the same as the launch prices of their predecessors.
