Leaks continue on Samsung’s new generation of flagship phones, the Galaxy S23, which is slated to launch next year 2023, and today an in-house official revealed the exact date for the phone’s official unveiling.
Samsung launched the new generation of Galaxy S series phones in the first quarter of each year, the S22 family was introduced on February 9, the S21 generation on January 14 and the S20 generation on February 11.
According to the South Korean newspaper ChoSun, citing an official within Samsung Mobile, there are no changes in the company’s plans regarding the launch dates of the next generation of the Galaxy S series for the year 2023.
He pointed out that the idea is that Samsung will hold a press event in San Francisco in the first week of February (i.e. between January 30 and February 5) and that the company will therefore receive, as in previous years, the advance booking requests in a period of two weeks from the date of the event and the first shipping date is set to fall on a Friday.
Ford added that the company is also taking into account the contraction in smartphone market sales, which analysts predict will continue into the next year. Ford said this prompted Samsung to launch the next generation of its flagship S series early on. of the new year rather than after.
Linking the Samsung official’s speech to the calendar, February 17 should be the Friday when the first orders for Galaxy S23 phones will be shipped.
It is worth noting that the shipping dates for the new generation Galaxy S series phones have changed years ago, the company started shipping in March, but the changed market conditions have decided the South Korean company to accelerate the delivery of the advance booking requests from users.
This makes it quicker to respond with the time the phones reach users right after disclosure at a press event and also to help with marketing in the face of stiff competition from other companies.
The third reason is to give the new generation of flagship phones more time to consolidate financial statements for the first quarter of the new year.
