With the Galaxy Note family officially out of the picture for good and the Galaxy S22 trio slowly getting long in the tooth, it seems natural for the undivided attention of many hardcore Samsung fans to be directed towards the fast-approaching Galaxy S23 series.
Hold on a minute, it’s still March 2021, which means that the S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra are not even a month old. But while it’s definitely too early for buyers of these Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 powerhouses to be thinking about an upgrade, the S23 family is already in the news.
Samsung’s crown jewel is getting a fitting codename
To illustrate that, here’s how every recent Galaxy S-series hero device has been codenamed prior to an official announcement:
- Galaxy S22 family – Rainbow (R – S22; G – S22 Plus; B – S22 Ultra)
- Galaxy S21 – Unbound (aka Galaxy U)
- Galaxy S20 – Hubble
- Galaxy S10 – Beyond
- Galaxy S9 – Star
- Galaxy S8 – Dream
- Galaxy S7 – Project Lucky
In short, we don’t expect next year’s Galaxy S23 family to include a diamond-encrusted model or anything, but maybe this choice suggests Samsung is working on the robustness and long-term durability of its high-end handsets.
Here’s the bad news
No such rollable Samsung phone is expected to see daylight this year after all.
But perhaps the best news in all of this is that the Galaxy S23 leaking games are basically officially underway now that the codename is out of the bag, which generally makes it a lot easier for insiders to dig up information and feed it to the masses. Who’s ready to feast on some juicy “Diamond” tidbits?
