[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Su-yeon] It has been predicted that Samsung Electronics will unveil the Galaxy S23 series on February 1 next year.

On the 21st (local time), IT specialized media such as PhoneArena and SamMobile cited IT tipsters (leakers) and reported that Samsung Electronics is highly likely to hold the Galaxy Unpacked event on February 1, 2023.

SamMobile stated, "According to IT tipster Ice Universe, Samsung has set the Galaxy Unpacked event for February 1, 2023," adding, "There are rumors that the Galaxy S23 series will go on sale in major markets two weeks after the official announcement."

This is the first time a specific release date for the Galaxy S23 series has been pointed out. Initially, an early release in early February was strongly anticipated, but recently, due to pricing issues, there have been forecasts that it could be delayed to mid to late February.

Samsung Electronics typically releases products about two weeks after the Unpacked event. The previous model, Galaxy S22, held its Unpacked event at midnight on February 10 (Korean time), started pre-orders on the 14th, and officially launched on the 25th.

Meanwhile, as the Galaxy S23 launch approaches, design and performance details are being revealed one after another.

Recently, case photos were leaked through a UK mobile accessory site. While the Galaxy S22 had a camera module that protruded overall, the Galaxy S23 appears to adopt a waterdrop design where only the camera lens protrudes.

The Galaxy S23 series is known to be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip as its application processor (AP). The top model, the S23 Ultra, is rumored to feature a 200-megapixel camera. Although the front camera resolution decreases from 40 million pixels in the previous model to 12 million pixels, it is speculated that software updates and algorithms have improved the quality.
