Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S23 series on February 1st

By Scott Marlette Last updated Dec 21, 2022

Samsung will officially announce the Galaxy S23 series on Wednesday, February 1st, 2023, in an epic Unpacked event, according to prolific leaker @UniverseIce.

The event will finally lift the cover off the most anticipated Android flagship phone of 2023: the Galaxy S23 Ultra, and also the two more affordable versions, the Galaxy S23 Plus and the compact Galaxy S23.

In the past, Samsung has taken around two weeks from the announcement event to the actual in-store release of the phones, so if the Feb 1st date for the announcement holds, that would mean the Galaxy S23 release date will be on either the 10th of February or the 17th of February. Those specific dates fall on a Friday which is when most companies typically schedule their flagship phone releases.

Here is a quick look back at the…

History of Samsung Galaxy S series release dates

Model	Announcement date	Release date
Galaxy S23 series	February 1, 2023 (est.)	February 10, 2023 OR February 17, 2023
Galaxy S22 series	February 9, 2022	February 25, 2022
Galaxy S21 series	January 14, 2021	January 29, 2021
Galaxy S20 series	February 11, 2020	March 6, 2020
Galaxy S10 series	February 20, 2019	March 8, 2019

The biggest news about the Galaxy S23 family is that Samsung is finally making the switch to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips and will no longer sell Exynos-powered versions of its flagships.

Previously, the company used a Snapdragon chip on Galaxies in the US, but the rest of the world got phones with a less powerful and generally less power-efficient Exynos chip. After an outcry over the practice in India, Samsung was essentially forced to switch to a Snapdragon chip in that market last year, but the UK and Europe still got Exynos-powered Galaxies. This is allegedly coming to an end, according to the leaks, but we will be looking forward to Samsung officially confirming this at Unpacked 2023.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra is the most exciting phone of the new trio. It retains the familiar Galaxy S22 Ultra design, but refines it with a slightly flatter edge, so it’s easier to pick the phone up from a table. It is also expected to bring a massive camera upgrade with the introduction of a new, 200MP main camera that should perform much better and capture cleaner photos and videos in low light conditions.

Expect to see a bunch of other smaller improvements too: a newer OLED screen with even better colors, improvements to the S Pen, and despite an unchanged battery size, we do expect slightly longer battery life thanks to power efficiency gains with the chip and the screen.

The other two models, the Galaxy S23 Plus and the compact Galaxy S23 will adopt the camera styling of the Ultra with separate camera rings for each of the lenses.
