he AnTuTu benchmark results shown in an image posted by a user on Weibo also reveal extra details on the handset's innards. This particular model is the 5.1-inch display (with 2K resolution) variant of the three rumoured Galaxy S7 variants tipped in previous leaks and rumours. The model SM-G935A in addition to Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, will feature Adreno 530 GPU, 3GB RAM, and will run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow out-of-the-box, as per the benchmark result. The unit will house 64GB inbuilt storage - though Samsung is expected to release more than one storage variant. There is no word on the microSD card expansion for now.
