The next Galaxy February 21st 2016 (Update: Event Stream Announced)

Re: S7 announcement

Sorry. I'm going to continue to be really excited and possibly forget to breath every now and then. Most of us are enthusiasts after all.

I like technology and phones too -- I bought my first Apple Ii computer in 1979 and first Motorola mobile cell phone in 1992 -- but most persons, I would hope, have more of a life to live than an obsession with microelectronics, glass and a battery in a case. The S7 is just a small handheld computer (containing more computing power than the computer aboard Apollo 11) with a phone app, with some upgrades continuing from the S6 (and the S5, and the S4...). Today's cell phones are just commodity items. Sure, do the spec review, evaluate the worth of the upgrades, and figure out if it is in your budget. But no one can convince me anyone with a cell phone purchased in the past few years will have an epiphany with a step-up to an S7.

FWiW, the last significant change to cell phone technology causing me to decide to upgrade to the S6 was the 64-bit octa-core microprocessor, replacing a 4-year old dual-core. And a larger screen.

I've also heard that it will utilise Type-C USB but seeing as this info was passed to me second-hand I can't guarantee it, though I think it's likely to be accurate.

According to new leaks today there is an adapter in the retail box which could very well be USB-C to Micro

When will pre-orders go live for the S7?

Anyone know for sure or certain how soon these phones will go live for pre-order on Sunday after the event? My guess sometime later in the day. I'm on T-Mobile and use the Jump program and I need to go into a store in order to pre-order in order to use my Jump. Not sure if the stores will do that or just online. I've never been this excited about a phone release since the pre-order for the S3, which I still have and use sometimes.

Re: When will pre-orders go live for the S7?

I'm curious of this too, I have 2 accounts on Jump: S6 Edge and S5. When I log into my account I can choose to jump online, no need to go into the store. However, that's with phones that are available for purchase, this phone being a pre-order i'm wondering how that will work.

Re: When will pre-orders go live for the S7?

I talked to a salesman last week about this. He told me to go see him and do the pre-order with him. Depending the promotions Samsung and T-Mobile have, just pay so much up front and sales tax. Then when the phone is released the phone will ship out to you. Then return the current phone back to T-Mobile.

I'm hoping for some sweet deals with VZW, as in price.

Galaxy S7 accessory accidentally on display here in my workplace (phone retail store). Awkward!

I quickly corrected the mistake. S7s can't go on display until tomorrow!

I'm confused why Samsung is starting the event at 7:00PM on a Sunday in Spain?
