Samsung's Galaxy 7 could include this surprise feature

The Samsung Galaxy S7 is just days away from being unveiled, but there's still time for a last-minute rumour.

Twitter leaker Eldar Murtazin claims that the biggest difference between the 2016 handset and the Galaxy S6 is an always-on screen.

This suggests that the device will display notifications and important information in a battery-saving mode even when it is switched off.

Including the feature on the S7 could help it steal the LG G5's thunder, as the same technology has already been confirmed for the rival flagship.

Previous reports suggest that the Galaxy S7 will boast a 5.5-inch Quad HD screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor and 4GB of RAM.

Other rumoured features include a pressure-sensitive display, reinstated microSD slot and revamped cameras.

The device will arrive during Samsung's pre-MWC press conference on February 21, the same day LG is due to announce the G5.
