Samsung Electronics is releasing its next Galaxy model ― the S7 ― on Sunday. And a teaser video from the maker’s Indonesian branch shows the new device has revived the waterproof feature from its previous model, the S5.

The one-minute video, released Monday, features Indonesian female archer Dellie Threesyadinda training, carrying the new device.

The waterproof feature is hinted at when she trains in a forest and suddenly encounters heavy rain. She flips through her device’s rain-covered screen without a problem.

The teaser also highlighted other functions, including a wireless charger and camera.

More Samsung teaser videos feature on a new website. One teaser from the series,

“Seven Days of Unboxing,”

is being released daily until Feb. 22. They show a person or animal unboxing a S7 in a futuristic lab and introducing their own creative image of the device.

Samsung will unveil the S7 series in Barcelona, one day before the start of the Mobile World Congress, the biggest global gathering of mobile device makers and mobile app developers.
