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.

Except I am not nagging about the camera. I own the phone, I know how good it is. Instead I'm nagging for the low resolution its pentile screen is for VR. It should be at least 5k (4 times the pixels), else the pixels would seem as big as in a ...
