Samsung confirms February Galaxy Unpacked event

Samsung Mobile CEO: next Galaxy S series will be 'noteworthy'


Samsung confirms that its next Galaxy Unpacked event will be held in February 2022. In all likelihood, the Galaxy S22 series will be announced then. It is also possible that we will get to see the Galaxy Tab S8 tablet.

According to Dr. TM Roh, we will get to see the most "noteworthy S series ever" during Unpacked. That seems to be a reference to the merging of the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note. According to multiple rumors the Galaxy S22 Ultra is the first Galaxy S to have an integrated S Pen. The S21 Ultra also supported the pen but it didn't have a dedicated slot to store it.

Whether the remaining models in the Galaxy S22 series will also support the pen remains to be seen. In a blog post, the CEO of Samsung Mobile at least writes that the next generation Galaxy S will bring together the best of all Galaxy devices. So we can't rule it out.

8 February?

It is somewhat striking that we are only told the month and not an exact date. Why this is so remains unknown. Unconfirmed rumors speak of February 8. The whole thing looks like a marketing ploy to us; Samsung wants to build up the excitement. Create a hype. Whether it will succeed remains to be seen. For now, we have not seen anything that would make us want to order one in advance.

Unless you absolutely want a more compact Galaxy S. Indeed, the entry-level S22 appears to be getting smaller than its predecessor for the first time in years. All in all, Samsung is fairly confident in the Galaxy S22 Series. In fact, it is already starting to take pre-orders starting this Friday, January 21, 2022, even before it is officially announced and before we know exactly what the device can or cannot do. For now, this only applies to North American buyers. They are awarded with vouchers and trade-in discounts.
