samsung could reveal new galaxy s23 on february 1st

Samsung may have unintentionally confirmed that it will unveil next-generation flagship phones at the beginning of February, according to news from 9to5Google. The company’s Colombian website recently published a page that mentioned a Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for February 1st, 2023, using the tagline “Epic Moments are Approaching” with the camera setup of the Galaxy S23 Ultra clearly showing.

Although several sources took screenshots of the page, the story is no longer viewable on the Columbian website. The announcement didn’t explicitly mention the upcoming Galaxy S23, but did show the flagship phone’s rumored triple-camera configuration. The teaser page’s color palette is also thought to give a hint towards the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Ultra’s new colorways of green and lilac.

Previous Unpacked events have also taken place in early February, so this news confirms what we were already pretty certain about. In addition, further rumors suggest that the launch will take place in San Francisco.

The upcoming smartphones will reportedly ditch Exynos chips in favor of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC for all worldwide markets. The Korean tech giant typically equips USA, Asian and European models with different processors, so the new models will represent something of a departure.

Finally, one of the most hotly anticipated features of the new handsets are their upgraded cameras: The flagship Galaxy S23 will likely feature a huge 200-megapixel main camera, while the base models will still come with a 50-megapixel primary shooter.

samsung smart glasses teased for january software reveal imminent

Samsung appears poised to introduce its highly anticipated smart glasses in January 2025, alongside the launch of the Galaxy S25. According to sources in Korea, the company will first reveal the accompanying software platform later this month.

As per a report from Yonhap News, Samsung’s unveiling strategy for the smart glasses echoes its approach with the Galaxy Ring earlier this year. The January showcase won’t constitute a full product launch but will likely feature teaser visuals at the Galaxy S25 event. A more detailed rollout could follow in subsequent months.

Just in: Samsung is set to unveil a prototype of its augmented reality (AR) glasses, currently in development, during the Galaxy S25 Unpacked event early next year, likely in the form of videos or images.

Additionally, prior to revealing the prototype, Samsung plans to introduce…

The Galaxy Ring, for example, debuted in January via a short presentation during Samsung’s Unpacked event. The full product unveiling came later at MWC in February, and the final release followed in July. Samsung seems to be adopting a similar phased approach with its smart glasses, which are expected to hit the market in the third quarter of 2025.

A Collaborative Software Effort

Samsung’s partnership with Google has played a key role in developing the smart glasses’ software. This collaboration was first announced in February 2023, with the device set to run on an Android-based platform. In July, the companies reiterated their plans to deliver an extended reality (XR) platform by the end of the year. The software specifics for the XR device are expected to be unveiled before the end of December.

Reports suggest that the smart glasses will resemble Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in functionality. They won’t include a display but will weigh approximately 50 grams, emphasizing a lightweight, user-friendly design.

Feature Set And Compatibility

The glasses are rumored to integrate Google’s Gemini technology, alongside features like gesture recognition and potential payment capabilities. Samsung aims to create a seamless user experience by integrating the glasses with its broader Galaxy ecosystem, starting with the Galaxy S25, slated for release on January 22.
