Samsung Unpacked 2016 set for February 21st, 2016; Samsung Galaxy S7 to be unveiled?

Hoping that the Samsung Galaxy S7 will be released earlier than usual? According to a tweet from tipster @Ricciolo1, the Samsung Unpacked 2016 event will take place on February 21st in Barcelona. Traditionally, Samsung unveils its new flagship Android phone at the event. Additionally, Samsung Unpacked usually takes place the day before the annual Mobile World Conference kicks off, and next year won't be an exception. MWC 2016 will take place in Barcelona from February 22nd through February 25th.

There has been talk about Samsung unveiling the Samsung Galaxy S7 in January. According to the rumor, Samsung had finished designing the new model in September, and would release a premium version of the phone using an Exynos SoC. A cheaper variant of the phone would be powered by a Qualcomm or MediaTek chipset.

Last month, a report stated that the Samsung Galaxy S7 would be powered by the Snapdragon 820 SoC in the U.S. and China. Elsewhere, the new Exynos 8890 will be found under the hood. We could see both a 5.2-inch and 5.8-inch version of the Galaxy S7, with 3GB and 4GB of RAM inside, respectively.
