Samsung Galaxy S7 pre-orders to start February 21, free Gear VR included in the deal: reports

Samsung is expected to begin pre-orders for the upcoming flagship Galaxy S7 on the launch date of February 21. The company will also bundle a free Gear VR headset for those who pre-order the smartphone.

According to Netherlands-based Android World, Samsung will begin taking pre-orders for its latest flagship - Galaxy S7, on February 21 itself. Earlier this month, it was revealed that Samsung will be launching the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge at its 'Unpacked' event scheduled for Feb 21, a day before the official start of the Mobile World Congress 2016 in Barcelona.

The report goes on to say that pre-orders for the Galaxy S7 will begin on the same day as the launch, whereas the actual shipment date will be March 11. It's also expected that Samsung will be throwing in free Gear VR headsets for those who place their orders between Feb 21 & March 10. To avail this deal, users will have to sign up on Samsung's official website with a proof of purchase.

It has been some time since Samsung's upcoming flagship started appearing in leaks across the web. There are multiple rumors that suggest that the company has plans of launching three new phones which could be powered by two different SoCs. The three phones expected from Samsung at the Feb 21 event are - Galaxy S7, S7 Edge and the S7 Edge+. Other rumours suggest that the S7 Edge+ may not be a part of the MWC launch portfolio. Going by the rumours till now, the main difference between the three phones is the display size. The original Galaxy S7 is likely to feature a 5.1-inch display, the S7 Edge could feature a 5.5-inch display and the S7 Edge + may come with a 5.7-inch display.

We will be at the Samsung event in Barcelona on Feb 21. Stay tuned to Digit for all the updates from MWC 2016.

    HTC 10 vs Samsung Galaxy S7 / Edge vs LG G5

    In the Android world, we follow a familiar release cycle when it comes to flagship smartphones, mostly centered around the two major trade shows, MWC and IFA. This year, Samsung and LG were first out of the gate with their respective flagship offerings being showcased back during MWC 2016, and while HTC was a little late to the party, we now have all three high-end offerings to choose from.

    The Samsung Galaxy Note7 (S820) Review

    This year has been difficult for smartphones, which is a bit of a paradox when you consider just how much better things have gotten compared to last year. With Snapdragon 820, 650, 652, and 625 we've finally moved past the shadow of the Snapdragon 810, 808, and 617/615. While there were Android devices that shipped with the Exynos 7420, they were often paired with a modem that was not necessarily the most power efficient. Despite all of this, there seems to be a general disappointment with smartphones. People are increasingly finding it hard to justify phones like the HTC 10 or Galaxy S7 with competition from OnePlus, Xiaomi, and even Apple with their iPhone SE. In this context the Galaxy Note7 brings much of the flavor of the Galaxy S7 edge, but blends it with the S-Pen of the Note line and a few new features like the iris scanner. If you were paying attention to the industry with the launch of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note5, it's very much more of the same rather than the m
