Samsung is hosting its 2023 Unpacked Event today, Wednesday, February 1st, at 1pm ET/10am PT, and we have a pretty good idea of what the Seoul, South Korea-based company plans to unveil.

The event comes roughly six months after the company’s last Unpacked event, where it unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 4, Flip 4, Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro, Buds 2 Pro, and more.

From what we know so far, Samsung is expected to show off its latest S-series flagships at the event, including the S23, S23+ and the S23 Ultra.

The new S23 and S23+ are expected to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, alongside 8GB of RAM. The S23 will likely sport a 6.1-inch 1,080 x 2,340 pixel resolution display with a 120Hz refresh rate, while the S23+ will sport a 6.6-inch 1,080 x 2,340 pixel resolution display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Further, the former is expected to feature a 3,900mAh battery, while the latter is likely to be powered by a 4,700mAh battery.

The main highlight of the year, however, will be the S23 Ultra. Based on rumours, the flagship will run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and feature a 6.8-inch, 1,440 x 3,080 pixel resolution display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The main highlight is likely to be its 200-megapixel primary camera, alongside its high-level specs and S-Pen slot.

Samsung’s Galaxy Book 3 is also rumoured to appear at the S23 reveal. There will reportedly be several Galaxy Book 3 variants, including the Book 3, Book 3 360, Book 3 Pro, Book 3 Pro 360 and Book 3 Ultra.

Further, while there haven’t been any leaks or rumours regarding a potential Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Buds reveal, we can never discount the possibility of Samsung making surprise announcements at the event.

As large tech companies report losing revenue this quarter, Samsung stands out for doing the opposite.

The company has increased its revenue by 12 percent this quarter compared to last year. Samsung points to its DX division, which covers digital appliances, health equipment and more, for its success.

The company also says it had “solid sales” for devices in its Galaxy S22 and Galaxy Tab S8 series.

However, the company acknowledges overall market demand declined compared to the first quarter of the year because of geopolitical issues and inflation. But Samsung says the supply chain issues it experienced in the first quarter “were mostly resolved in the second quarter.”

In June, the company announced it started producing 3-nanometre microchips (nm), outpacing rival TSMC, which makes chips for Apple devices. Compared to 5nm, the first generation of 3nm reduces power consumption by 45 percent and improves performance by 23 percent.

The company released the second quarter results as it’s gearing up for its Unpacked event on August 1oth. The occasion will feature the foldable Z series lineup, the Watch 5 series, and many other gadgets. You can read MobileSyrup’s article on what to expect here.
