An advert showing what some think could be the Samsung
Galaxy S7 has been 'leaked' on YouTube.
A full-length advert for an unnamed phone was
released on Samsung Indonesia 's
YouTube channel, and adds to a number of existing rumours.
Wireless charging is one of the first things we see, as
the advert's star, Indonesian archer Dellie Threesyadinda, takes her phone off
a circular charging pad.
The phone also looks to be water-resistant, to an extent -
in one sequence, we see Threesyadinda practicing in pouring rain, using her
phone without any problems.
There's also a few brief shots showing off the phone's
fitness-tracking capabilities and its camera.
It's not clear whether all these cool features will be
present in the S7, however, because the advert only shows an S6 Edge+, as Android
Police editor David Ruddock pointed out on Twitter. Even though
the video was published on 12 February and is titled '#TheNextGalaxy', it's not
clear whether it's even about the S7 at all.
However, water resistance and camera tweaks have both been
rumoured for the S7, so it's possible that Samsung just used the S6 Edge+ as a
stand-in for the new phone.
Both of these pieces of promotional material have been
released through Samsung's official channels, so they should be genuine. It's
less clear just what device they refer to, and whether they were leaked or
simply released in a PR move intended to add to the hype.
It's been a confusing day, but at any rate, we'll know more
on 21 February, when Samsung unveils the S7 and S7 Edge at a press
event in Barcelona ,
just ahead of the Mobile World Congress trade show.
