Add another clue to the list of items suggesting Samsung is quickly approaching a release date for their next flagship device, the Samsung Galaxy S7. Actually, it will be two flagship devices as Samsung appears to be on track to produce a regular screen version and one with curved edges. Twitter tipster Evan Blass posted on Friday that U.S. wireless carrier AT&T is already testing both Galaxy S7 variants.

In the past Samsung used dedicated Unpacked events to announce their latest Galaxy S smartphones. This past year they moved the schedule up to coincide with MWC 2015. Typically only CES precedes MWC on the calendar and CES would certainly like the press that would come with a reveal at their event, but that may still be pushing it even with Samsung already working on the firmware for the two variants.

AT&T already testing both Galaxy S7 variants (SM-G930A and -G935A), adding weight to rumors of an early- to mid-1Q16 release.
