Samsung teases water resistance for upcoming Galaxy S7 phones [Update]

Ahead of the official unveil of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge at Mobile World Congress, Samsung Indonesia has posted a video on its YouTube channel teasing its upcoming flagship phone. Tagged #TheNextGalaxy, the commercial shows Indonesian archer Dellie Threesyadinda incorporating the phone’s predecessor, the GS6 edge+ into her training.

In one section of the video, last year’s phone is briefly shown being used out in the rain, implying that rumors of water-resistance in the GS7 series may be on the money. The video also shows off wireless charging — a well-known GS6 feature — and Samsung Indonesia’s teaser website points to a camera that can take better pictures in low-light conditions. (This is all stuff we’ve previously heard in Galaxy S7 leaks to date.)

Samsung will reveal all on Feb. 21 in Barcelona. Stay tuned to Android Central for all the details from the ground!

Update: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that the rumored Galaxy S7 edge itself appeared in the video. In fact, the phone in question is a Galaxy S6 edge+.
