Samsung Electronics announced a new 'Galaxy Unpacked' event for 09 February, when the company will unveil new models in its S flagship series of smartphones. Samsung said it plans to "set an epic new standard for smartphones with the most noteworthy S series ever created".
A recent statement from Samsung's mobile chief TM Roh points to the new phone incorporating some of the features of Samsung's former Note series. The large-screen device with stylus S Pen did not get a new edition last year, but previously came regularly each year, the same as the S series.
The trailer released by the company for its event suggests the new phone also will come with improvements to the camera night mode and other light settings, as well as new personalisation options. First introduced with its flip phone last year, Samsung is looking to expand its 'bespoke' options that allow customers to choose their own colours, frames and images to personalise their phone.
The launch comes just over a year since the release of the Galaxy S21 at the end of January 2021. Earlier this month Samsung released a new version of the S21, the lower priced 'Fan edition'. It has already set up a website for customers to reserve an order slot for the next Galaxy phone, including a USD 50 credit towards other Galaxy products.
