If you're holding off upgrading your phone because you're waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S7 then good news - you don't have too long to wait, if reports are to be believed.
China Mobile appears to have accidentally let the cat out of the bag, according to posts by Chinese social media users that were picked up by Slashgear.
During a company press conference, it appears that the network flashed up a slide showing the products that were coming to the network soon - and included the S7 pencilled in for March.
If this is accurate, it strongly suggests that we'll catch our first official glimpse of the new phone at the MWC 2016 in Barcelona, which takes place 22-25 February.
Hardly a surprise
This wouldn't actually be massively surprising as Samsung has used MWC as an excuse to wheel out its latest flagship handsets for the past few years.
In fact, if last year's reveal of the S6 is any indication, we can perhaps expect a huge, glitzy Samsung launch event on the evening of Sunday February 21 - immediately prior to the main show opening.
It also wouldn't be an insane prediction we'll see the curved screen Galaxy S7 Edge unveiled at the same time, given the S6 Edge has proved to be so popular.
The same China Mobile leak also suggests that a number of other phones will be released around the same time: Samsung's premium-looks/mid-range-guts Galaxy A5 and A7, and the 2016 Huawei flagship, the Huawei P9 too.
So the only bad news here is for those hoping that the new Samsung flagship landing in January - but come on, that was never likely to happen.
