Good morning (just!) everybody!

As some of you may have seen, and for those who haven't yet, Samsung have announced that their first 'Unpacked' event of the year will be at Barcelona on Feb 21st and with them using the hashtag #TheNextGalaxy in their video title, it's not difficult to imagine what this new product will be, but what could be tricky is guessing exactly what new tech or changes & improvements we'll see.

As some of you know, i'll be out at Barcelona for MWC. Typically these events are difficult to be a part of if not a member of press but I've been lucky enough to have secured an invite to this, so i'll be live updating everyone on this new device as and when it happens, in person - Hopefully i'll be able to snap some exclusive photos for the O2 Community too showing the device in all its glory.

Placeholder specsheet below - will be updated in as real-time as can be:
CPU: Octacore - 2.3GHz Quad & 1.6GHZ Quad
MEMORY: 4GB RAM / 32GB Internal / Up to 200GB microSD expandable
DISPLAY: 5.1" QHD sAMOLED for S7 / 5.5" QHD sAMOLED for S7 Edge
CAMERA: 12mp f1.7 rear / 5mp f1.7 front
BATTERY: 3000mAh for S7 / 3,600mAh for S7 Edge

Features
1. Water resistance - IP68
2. Fast charging - 95min wired & 130min wireless for S7 / 115min wired & 150min wireless for S7 Edge
3. Always on display - uses <1% battery per hour to give you your notifications on an always-on display

I love everything about the phone. ...However it comes down to price at the end of the day. If we're talking £700, I'm sure the wife will knock that on the head. ...

No hard specs announced yet but I'll confirm soon as I can for you all.

 

Based on what you know and have seen so far, first thoughts?

I'm on a leash so probably won't be purchasing one.

But if I could......... Wow.

What you want to confirm, is if Europe gets a different cpu to Asia, the snapdragon 820 is far weaker than the latest Exynos and a lot of rumors have EU as getting the 820

Zuckerberg talking about Gear vr, I agree with everything he says, combined with the Gear 360 it will allow world wide communication on an immersive scale never seen. Imagine jonsie having a chat with his missus, but he can move his head and look where he wants as if he was in the room, it really is that realistic and I cannot say anyone else other than Samsung have a better grasp of that.
