A free Samsung VR headset to come with each Galaxy S7 pre-order
Samsung Galaxy S7 is going to premiere at a special UNPACKED event at the MWC next week. It has been in Rumorland for quite some time and the speculations have gone wild throughout the past few days.
Samsung is also keen on getting a piece of the growing VR market, and as suggested by Rory O'Neill, Vice President Brand & Product Manager of Samsung Electronics, most of the VR content will be in fact produced by the consumers. That’s why Samsung will be offering a free Gear VR headset with each Galaxy S7 smartphone or at least in the Netherlands.
As per some reports Samsung Netherlands will be throwing a free Gear VR headset with each Galaxy S7 pre-order placed between February 21 and March 10. The Galaxy S7 is going to be unveiled on February 21, which means it will go on pre-order in Europe on the very same day.
It’s unclear whether this promotion will expand to other markets, but if Samsung wants some nice share of the VR universe, the logic says yes.
In just a few days the Galaxy S7 will say ‘hi’ from Barcelona for the first time. Naturally, we’ll be there to cover the event for you as it unfolds.

How can one read reviews when the phone is not yet out? I tend to love Samsung but every flagship they release I get my hopes up with the previews...then it comes out and I end up preferring to stick with my S5 :( hope the same won't happen with s7
