The Samsung Galaxy S7 rumour mill continues to churn, with the latest reports suggesting the upcoming phone will play host to some impressive audio tech, Digital Spy reports.

With smartphones all too frequently plagued by weak, tinny inbuilt audio, new reports out of Samsung's native Korea has suggested the manufacturer is prepping a specialist, high-end audio chip for its future flagship phone.

According to supply chain sources, via Phone Arena, the upcoming iPhone 6S rival and Samsung Galaxy S6 follow-on will play host to the premium ESS Technology SABRE 9018AQ2M chip.

What does this mean? Well, the chip features a 32-bit mobile audio DAC with a 128dB signal to noise ratio.

In layman's terms, it will sound amazing and offer audio quality near parallel to true analogue recordings.

The latest in a recent flurry of Galaxy S7 rumours, the much mooted device has already been tipped to host Qualcomm's new 64-bit Snapdragon 820 processor and new, 3D Touch-inspired screen technology when it lands early next year.
