A new report published by a South Korean news publication states that Samsung is readying a flagship Smartphone for 2H 2015. The Samsung Galaxy S7 is being pulled ahead of its scheduled 1H 2016 release to a 2H 2015 release so that it can take on the Apple iPhone 6s.

The Apple iPhone 6s is expected to be announced this September. Samsung doesn't want to leave the Galaxy Note 5 fighting the iPhone 6s Plus on one battlefront while leaving the other front clear for the iPhone 6s. Hence, the early Galaxy S7 launch, according to the report.
