The Samsung Galaxy S23 has been in the news for a while. There were already leaks and rumors about the technical specifications of the upcoming smartphones. Now, a new report indicates that the Korean company will launch the Galaxy S23 series at an Unpacked event scheduled for the first week of February. Citing a Samsung Electronics executive with knowledge of the matter, the Korean publication reports that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Unpacked event will take place in early February 2023. “Episode S23 will be shown at our own Unpacked event in the United States in February,” a source said.

The executive did not reveal the name of the city or the exact date of the launch, but the post claims that the event could take place in San Francisco. This will be Unpacked’s first in-person event since the Pandemic. This new report contradicts rumors that the company may unveil the device during CES 2023 held in Las Vegas. Since Samsung has never used CES to launch Galaxy S devices before, the chances of that happening are next to non-existent.

The Galaxy S23 lineup is expected to include three models: Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra. All smartphones will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC with no Exynos chipset in any region. The processor is said to have a higher clock speed than real models and offer slightly better performance.

The flagship Galaxy S23 Ultra reportedly has a 200-megapixel main sensor accompanied by a 10-megapixel 10x zoom sensor and a 12-megapixel super wide-angle lens. It is expected to feature an AMOLED panel with a maximum brightness of 2200 nits.
