Like HTC\u2019s Dot View, the case\u2019s flip cover shows the time and notifications; but Samsung\u2019s implementation seems cleaner and more subtle than HTC\u2019s unabashed retro look.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/note-led-case.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-50720\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-50720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/note-led-case.jpg\" alt=\"note-led-case\" width=\"500\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/note-led-case.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/note-led-case-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/note-led-case-450x209.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\">For all of the Samsung S7 cases that have been launched on our site so far, please see the category linked below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\"><a class=\"btn btn-shop markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/samsung\/galaxy-s7\/cases\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/samsung\/galaxy-s7\/cases\">Shop for Galaxy S7 cases &gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\"><a class=\"btn btn-shop markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/samsung\/galaxy-s7-edge\/cases\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/samsung\/galaxy-s7-edge\/cases\">Shop for Galaxy S7 Edge cases &gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\"><a class=\"btn btn-shop markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/cat\/Galaxy-S7-Plus-Cases-and-Covers.htm\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/cat\/Galaxy-S7-Plus-Cases-and-Covers.htm\">Shop for Galaxy S7 Plus cases &gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf--h4\">Specifications and chipsets<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf--p\">Finally, some specifications for the Galaxy S7 <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/pocketnow.com\/2016\/01\/20\/european-samsung-galaxy-s7-benchmark-specs-features?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+pocketnow+%28pocketnow.com%29\" data-href=\"http:\/\/pocketnow.com\/2016\/01\/20\/european-samsung-galaxy-s7-benchmark-specs-features?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+pocketnow+%28pocketnow.com%29\">were revealed<\/a> through an AnTuTu benchmark. The phone reportedly includes a 5.1-inch 1440p display and an Exynos 8890 octa-core processor, backed with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal space.
