Samsung's ‘Unpacked’ event, the company hosts its first in-person event in three years, launches the Galaxy S23 series.
Samsung launched three smartphones, the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the Galaxy S23 Plus and the Galaxy S23.
Samsung’s new Galaxy Book laptops were also introduced at the event.
The Galaxy S23 series will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor with at least 8GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage on the base variant. Samsung makes tweaks to the top-end Qualcomm chipset.
All three variants of the Galaxy S23 are packed with an improved camera system with better low-light photography.
The floating camera design of the S22 Ultra is said to be on the S23+ and S23 variants as well.
Samsung will also introduce the 200MP camera on the S23 Ultra as well. Samsung announced earlier this month that the 200MP ISOCELL HP2 Sensor was entering mass production and this will likely be a part of the S23 Ultra. Just how the company implements this and what sort of improvements it will mean for the camera, will be closely watched by all.
Samsung is also expected to announce its flagship Android tablets, likely to be powered by the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.
However, we might not see any new smart wearables at the Galaxy Unpacked 2023 event. Samsung’s Galaxy Book 3 laptop is likely to be based on the latest 13th Gen Intel Core processor, and some of the variants are also expected to feature a dedicated graphics card.
