Samsung announces Aussie pricing and dates for Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge
If you're in Australia and hoping to get your hands on one of Samsung's new Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge smartphones, you won't have to wait too long.
On Monday, the company announced that the two products will be on sale Down Under from March 11. The Galaxy S7 will be priced at A$1,149 and the Galaxy S7 Edge will set you back A$1,249. If you're super keen, you can register for pre-sale from February 26.
The latest Samsung smartphones were launched Sunday in Barcelona at the 2016 Mobile World Congress. Both products feature an appealing design with the S7 Edge offering a curved glass face. Each device runs the Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system, but the S7 Edge comes in a little larger with a 5.5 inch (13.97 centimetres) screen compared to the S7's 5.1 inches (12.95 centimetres). For the clumsy among us, the smartphones also apparently boast around 30 minutes worth of water resistance in up to 1.5 metres of water (5 feet).
If you want to get into the specs, here is Mashable's complete breakdown.
Samsung also launched the Samsung Gear 360 camera in Barcelona, a device that will help average punters create virtual reality video content. The device should also be available in Australia in 2016, but exact dates and pricing have yet to be announced.
