New Samsung video shows the evolution of mobile devices – from brick-sized GSM, through smartwatches, to VR

This one doesn't tease the Galaxy S7 per se, it just takes us on a trip down memory lane – from the very first, brick-sized mobile phones, through Sammy's first attempts at a wearable watch phone (the SPH-WP10), the smallest TV phone (looks like the SCH-M2200), the world's first MP3 phone (Samsung SPH-M2500), then through the Galaxy S and Note line, the Gear S smartwatches, and ends at the Gear VR virtual goggles with the caption “Who knows where progress will take us”.

So, not much of a reveal there, just some memories in a cool montage. Though we do believe that Sammy's Unpacked 2016 may focus on VR after the announcement of the Galaxy S7 / S7 edge duo. Sources say that it's very probable that Sammy will unveil its Gear 360 camera – a Bluetooth-connectable gizmo, which can take 360-degree pictures and video, and that Galaxy S7 pre-orders will be bundled with a free pair of Gear VR goggles, and — to top it all off — the event itself will be streamed in 360-degree video. So, in light of that information, one could speculate that maybe this is the reason why the video stops exactly at VR — Sammy is emphasizing on the new tech, but could this mean that it's also working on evolving it further?
