I can’t recall if there was ever a real lull within the weeks between CES and MWC, or whether or not that is the kind of factor we inform ourselves to cushion the blow of a {hardware} season that now spans 11.5 months of the 12 months. Regardless of the case, the times of massive firms saving huge information for giant occasions seem like largely carried out.
As soon as upon a time, Samsung cut up its huge top-of-year bulletins between CES (TVs, screens, home equipment) and Cell World Congress (telephones, tablets, perhaps a wearable). A number of years in the past, nonetheless, the corporate moved its huge cell flagship information to a standalone occasion — albeit one which was extra intently tied to MWC.
This 12 months’s first Samsung Unpacked, alternatively, returns to the West Coast of the U.S. lower than every week after CES. Fortunately, some issues are a bit extra predictable than the corporate’s occasion schedule — particularly the gadgets set to be introduced at mentioned occasion. At present at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET, Samsung will unveil its newest flagship, the Galaxy S24. This a lot we are able to say we all know with close to absolute definitely.
As a result of that is Samsung we’re speaking about, we additionally assume we all know lots in regards to the gadget itself, courtesy of a gradual drip of releases. As ever, the Extremely would be the (excessive price ticket) centerpiece of the road. Right here’s a few of what we expect we all know:
- New flatter show
- One other four-camera array, although the 10x telephoto has been halved
- A titanium body à la the iPhone 15
AI will, unsurprisingly, take heart stage at this time. The corporate is anticipating to include some type of third-party generative AI on-device. By the tip of 2024, I’d anticipate that just about each main Android handset will provide some model of this, however factors to Samsung for being forward of the curve on this one.
One particular AI tidbit we’ve heard about is the brand new “Circle to Search” characteristic from Google, which goals to make search engine entry much more accessible.
Samsung will almost definitely additionally announce the usual S24 and S24+ choices. Further {hardware} might be on the docket, as nicely.
