Samsung Galaxy S7 to be unveiled on February 21

Forget mutterings of an early reveal, the Samsung Galaxy S7 will reportedly be formally unveiled in Barcelona on February 21.

Well, at least that's according to serial Twitter-based tech tipster 'Ricciolo' who has tweeted an alleged invite to the eagerly-awaited phone's big, Mobile World Congress-based unveil.

Dispelling claims the S7 will enter the realms of reality during the first weeks of 2016, it now appears that Sammy is sticking to its traditional launch cycle for its next, iPhone 6S-rivalling flagship phone.

With MWC 2016 set to run from February 22-25, the tipped unveiling on the 21st would see the phone debut the day before the biggest date in the mobile calendar kicks off proper.

Launch date aside, a number of recent Galaxy S7 leaks have claimed to out the phone's upcoming specs sheet.

According to widespread reports, the phone will run Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 820 processor alongside an improved camera, QHD, edge-encompassing display, and slightly remodeled design.

Samsung has yet to formally discuss the currently unconfirmed device. As such, we'd take these claims with a healthy serving of salt for now.
