Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2023 is set to take place on February 1

Samsung is said to be preparing to unveil the Galaxy S23 series. Recent rumors have suggested that this flagship line could launch at next year’s Galaxy Unpacked event. A reliable tipster has now claimed that the South Korean tech giant will hold this event on February 1. Samsung is allegedly expecting to dodge the competition with an early launch of the Galaxy S23 lineup, which reportedly includes three models – the vanilla Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra.

According to a Tweeter per Tipster Ice Universe (Twitter: @UniverseIce), Samsung will host the Galaxy Unpacked 2023 event on February 1. There has been no official word from the company regarding this event yet. However, the South Korean tech giant is likely to host the event in San Francisco, USA.

Samsung hopes to dodge the competition with an early launch of its flagship Galaxy S23 lineup in 2023. These handsets could be available for purchase from February 17. Also, it could improve the company’s performance in the first quarter.

In related news, the global variant of the vanilla Galaxy S23 was recently spotted on Geekbench. The model listed would have the model number SM-S911B. It could be powered by a 3.36 GHz octa-core processor, which will likely be a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.

The Galaxy S23 model listed is said to have 8GB of RAM and run on Android 13. It was reportedly able to achieve a single-core score of 578 points and a multi-core score of 2,118 points.

Alleged dummy models of the Galaxy S23 series have also surfaced online recently. The Galaxy S23 is believed to come with a center-aligned punch-hole slot like its predecessor the Galaxy S22. However, the design of the triple rear camera setup on the back has apparently been changed.
