14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung has finally confirmed that the next-generation Galaxy S model would be announced in February, therefore putting an end to all the rumors suggesting all kinds of dates for this highly anticipated product.
Samsung Galaxy S23 is the next big launch in the mobile market, and people familiar with the matter previously indicated that the South Koreans wanted to bring the device to the market earlier than usual.
This is because, these sources said, Samsung wanted to give the device more exclusive time on the market before its next-generation foldables see the daylight. Furthermore, Samsung needed a refreshed model, especially as Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro is believed to record huge demand, even putting the company’s suppliers under strong pressure.
But according to Samsung itself, the Galaxy S23 launch will take place in February.
The Unpacked event has been leaked by Samsung Colombia, with a teaser also suggesting that the Galaxy S23 will be primarily focused on camera upgrades.
Sources with knowledge of the matter said that Samsung’s new Galaxy S23 wouldn’t be much different from its predecessor in terms of design. As a result, the South Koreans would focus mostly on upgrades under the hood, including on improved camera performance.
While no further specifics are available at this point, or at least not through an official channel, it’s pretty clear that Samsung needs to deliver a major hardware upgrade if the design hasn’t evolved significantly.
One of the rumored changes concerns the processor options on the Galaxy S23. By the looks of things, the company wants to offer the Qualcomm-powered version of the device in absolutely all markets, though the Exynos configuration will continue to be available as well. The company has previously faced criticism due to the differences in terms of performance when it comes to the two chip versions, as Qualcomm delivered a significant boost despite being available in a very limited number of markets.
