CES is done and dusted off for another year, which means all eyes are on Samsung’s next big smartphone launch. If this latest leak is correct, it looks like Samsung will maintain its usual Galaxy S23 launch schedule and announce the phone on February 1.
The news comes from Samsung itself. Sources don’t come much more reliable.

The image above was posted on the Colombian site, according to Samsung 9to5Google (opens in new tab). The slogan? “Epic moments approaching.” Samsung’s Unpacked event usually showcases the company’s latest Galaxy S smartphone range. Add to that the image, which shows what appears to be the rear of a phone with three camera lenses, and you’ve got a very likely launch date of February 1.
The image has now been drawn.
This Samsung Unpacked was supposed to come almost exactly a year after the launch of the Galaxy S22, which took place on February 9, 2022.
So far, fewer details of the S23 have been leaked than its predecessors. The S23 Ultra is rumored to have a 200-megapixel camera, while the standard S23 and S23 Plus will settle for 50-megapixel shooters. We also expect all models to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset (usually Samsung uses its own Exynos chips in its European and Asian models and reserves the Qualcomm chips for its US models).
We’re sure we’ll see a lot more leaks before February 1, so stay tuned.
