Well Samsung's back and after the success of the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and the confusing absence of the Galaxy Note 5, the company is now ready to unveil its next flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S7.

While the company's teaser trailer reveals absolutely nothing about the new phone it does show off Samsung's Gear VR viewer which was made in collaboration with Facebook's Oculus.

By showing off a virtual reality headset though the company is clearly giving a hint that it plans to incorporate the relatively new technology quite heavily into its next generation of smartphones.
