Samsung's flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S7, is expected to be released as planned, in February, ahead of the MWC, 2016, scheduled to be held at Barcelona, Spain.
Earlier, reports had indicated that the company would advance the release to January, a month before the 2015 series phone Galaxy S6 could complete a year.
Now, a source familiar with the company's plans has tipped SamMobile that Samsung will stick to the February launch schedule.
It is believed that the company will host a private launch event, 'Galaxy Unpacked 2016', on 21 February, a day ahead of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2016.
There is no proof to validate the report claimed by SamMobile, but we believe this will turn true as Samsung release pattern for past two Galaxy S series S5 and S6 has been same. They got first unveiled at Galaxy Unpacked events and then showcased the devices at MWC, a few days later.
Samsung is yet to respond to the report yet.
