Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy S7 series is here, and it’s nothing short of outstanding. The improved, water-resistant design and cutting-edge specifications make the upgrade a no-brainer — but Samsung wants to make it even sweeter.

Pre-order a Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge before March 18 and you’ll get a free Gear VR with it.

Mobile World Congress doesn’t officially begin until tomorrow — and yet Samsung has already stolen the show with its new Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge.

With an even greater design and huge internal improvements, the Galaxy S7 should be an easy sell. But Samsung is throwing in free goodies to make its next-generation flagship even more enticing.

According to one rumor, those who pre-order a device from the Galaxy S7 series before it launches on March 11 will get a free Gear VR headset.

HTC Vive, the virtual reality headset that could make or break HTC, is going up for pre-order on February 29. Like the Oculus Rift and Sony’s PlayStation VR system, Vive has its own display and needs no smartphone — but you will need a pricey PC.
