Is a January announcement in the cards?
While it’s certainly way too early for anyone (reliable) to answer that question with even a moderate degree of confidence, we highly doubt that Samsung will keep its most devoted speed-addicted fans waiting for the next Unpacked event until February 2023.
The S22 family went official and up for sale in February 2022.
But December is not the most conventionally accommodating setting for the launch of a mobile device primarily aimed at a Western audience, so even if the above info checks out, Samsung is likely to wait until January.
Although the S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra were both formally announced and commercially released in February 2022, a January launch wouldn’t be completely unusual or unprecedented. It was only last year that the world’s largest smartphone vendor took the wraps off the Galaxy S21 lineup on January 14, putting it up for sale a couple of weeks later, and the S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra could well follow a similar schedule.
What else do we know about the Galaxy S23 series?
In short, a lot of things. Almost too many for a family of ultra-premium Android devices that’s likely still more than two months away from an official announcement, but that’s what happens when you can count the notable upgrades of a new flagship on the fingers of one hand… and you still leave a few fingers unused.
The S23 Plus (rendered here in all its glory) could see daylight no later than January 2023.
