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

CAMERA: 12mp f1.7 rear / 5mp f1.7 front

I was just watching BBC news at the MWC. Apparently Samsung had put VR headsets on every seat for those attending to watch some parts of their presentation......(very trusting)

I understand you can get the VR headset if you go through Carphone Warehouse or Samsung directly...

I agree, crazy. O2 should be supplying the VR headset.
