Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2016 is booked for February 21st

If there was any doubt that Samsung would be launching their next Galaxy S device at a Samsung Unpacked event, Samsung has put that doubt to rest by announcing its intentions to host Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2016 on February 21st, 2016 in Barcelona. For those keeping track, that’s the day before MWC 2016 (Mobile World Congress) and is pretty much the traditional spot where the new Samsung Galaxy S smartphone is announced every year. Naturally, we’re expecting the Galaxy S7 to be announced, and while all we have to go on is rumours and hearsay, Samsung released a teaser trailer with today’s news that perhaps give us some very vague clues to what their emphasis will be this year:

Right from the beginning of the teaser, it’s clear that VR is going to take the centre stage. Whether this is the device’s own capabilities, or whether Samsung is planning to stream its announcement as a VR-enabled video remains to be seen, though we wouldn’t be surprised if both were true too. Given that Samsung has only just started to get its mobile business headed in the right direction again, you can bet that the Galaxy S7 is going to be a pretty impressive device – as if we expected anything else.
