Samsung Galaxy S7 will reportedly feature USB Type C, microSD, and a version of 3D Touch

A new report claims that the Samsung Galaxy S7 will reveal a number of additions when it's unveiled in late February, although it will look relatively similar to this year's Galaxy S6.
The report, in today's edition of the Wall Street Journal, posits that the flat version of the 2016 flagship will be endowed with a fast-charging USB Type C port, a resurrected microSD slot, and a pressure-sensitive display, à la 3D Touch on Apple iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.
In addition to these new features, the WSJ report also states that Samsung is considering building a retina scanner into the device, for biometric security that is more convenient than the traditional fingerprint reader.
While the curved screen version, the S7 edge, will also reportedly adopt most of these new features, it will allegedly lack the microSD slot, most likely due to a lack of real estate on the device's thinner sides.
