Following numerous speculations and leaks, Samsung has now confirmed its next Unpacked event will happen on January 17 in San Jose, California. It is expected the Galaxy S24 will be announced then. The company also emphasized on generative AI, which will debut as Galaxy AI on these Galaxy devices.
When and how to watch Samsung Galaxy S24 Unpacked?
Through teasers on different social media platforms of the South Koreans, the physical event will kick off on January 17 at 1:00 PM ET / 7:00 PM CET. It will be hosted at the SAP Center in San Jose, although there will be a live stream on Samsung’s website and YouTube channel.
Samsung has not provided any details about the Galaxy S24 yet. However, they are already commencing the pre-order program where those who sign up for the event from now will receive a $50 credit for use later when the handsets are actually available. Other countries will receive a different credit value, and in my case, they’re offering close to a $100 credit.
What’s particularly interesting is how Samsung has dropped hints about its upcoming AI features. In the teaser, Galaxy AI was presented with new animations of stars that resemble those we’ve seen from Google’s Bard assistant and Gemini model. This suggests Samsung may tap into Google’s AI tools for its Galaxy AI. Fortunately, we don’t need to wait for too long to find out.
Just this week, an excerpt of the alleged different AI features for the Galaxy S24 was leaked. These include the new Generative Editor similar to the Pixel 8 Pro’s Magic Editor, Live Translate on the phone app, Screen Display, and Nightography Zoom, among others.
Apart from the Galaxy S24, there could also be a few surprises in store at the event, raising the possibility of us seeing the Galaxy Fit 3 tracker and the new range of Galaxy Book 4 laptops. We are yet to see whether the rumored Galaxy Ring will make its debut as well.
