With Samsung’s Unpacked event just a week away, a lot has already been said and written about its upcoming flagship devices. But, now Samsung has taken to giving users a sneak peek into some of the features expected in the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge.

A new video teaser named #TheNextGalaxy reveals Indonesian archer Dellie Threesyadinda using the new phone for her training. Going by the video, looks like the Galaxy S7 has taken design cues from its predecessor. The video shows her picking the phone from a wireless charging pad and using it even while raining.


Samsung hasn’t specified the name of the model. However, the company has created a teaser website that clearly suggests the next device will be named the Galaxy S7. The page further hints at features such as ‘privacy at its finest’ and ‘bring light to the night’.


According to a previous leak, the smartphone is supposed to pack in an Exynos 8890 chipset and a camera with a smaller sensor but a bigger battery. According to Tweakers, the Samsung Galaxy S7 will be priced at EUR 699.99 (approximately Rs 53,500) while the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge will start at EUR 799.99 (approximately Rs 61,000) for their 32GB models. It will mostly come in black, gold and white colour variants.

The official unpacking of the next Galaxy will take place in Barcelona on February 21st at 19:00 CET.
