Next week we’ll finally witness the announcement of the Galaxy S23 series alongside the Galaxy Book3 laptops.
The Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra will all be slightly more expensive than their predecessors (only the Galaxy S23+ has a lower starting price in India than last year’s S22+, but that’s unofficial am).
We saw the unboxing of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, which just doubled down on what we already knew – the phone doesn’t come with a charger or cable. I also got a camera sample that showcases the features and zoom capabilities of the 3x and 10x cameras. Camera leaks have been completed in several 4K and 8K videos.
Corning has confirmed that the Galaxy S23 series will be the pioneer of Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
Motorola announced a whopping five phones this week. More interesting are the Moto G73 and Moto G53, which feature 5G, 120Hz displays, 50MP cameras and 5,000mAh batteries. The Moto G73 is available in a single configuration (8/256GB) for €300. The Moto G53 is cheaper at 250 euros. It comes with 4/128GB memory and is the only option currently listed on Motorola’s official website.
The Moto G23 and Moto G13 share the same 6.5-inch IPS LCD display with HD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate, and have the same 50MP main camera on the back. Both have 5,000mAh batteries. The Moto G23 comes in matte charcoal, pearl white and steel blue colors and is priced at €230 in Europe. The Moto G13 is available in Matte Charcoal, Blue Lavender and Rose Gold colors with a retail price of €180.
The Moto E13 features a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD with a 60Hz refresh rate, a 5,000mAh battery, and runs Android 13 (Go edition). The fee is 120 euros.
OnePlus will show off the OnePlus 11, OnePlus 11R, OnePlus Pad, OnePlus Buds 2 Pro, OnePlus Keyboard and OnePlus Q2 Pro 65-inch TV on February 7th.
see you next week!
Mobile phones will be more expensive than their predecessors.
The Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Ultra started higher than last year, with the S23+ slightly cheaper.
The sample demonstrates night mode functionality for a 200MP sensor.
Of course, the new Ultra has a 200MP HP2 sensor, but it uses the exact same sensor as last year’s model for its two telephoto cameras.
As usual, Samsung will be taking pre-orders for two weeks after announcing its new flagships, after which the open sale will begin.
Samsung has started promoting the first Galaxy Unpacked for 2023.
The same user who shared a still photo of the new flagship a few days ago has moved on to testing the video capabilities.
Both the G72 and G52 were 4G-only phones. The new model will use Helio and Snapdragon chips for next-gen connectivity.
Motorola’s latest budget-conscious device is official.
This phone will not have 5G but will have LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.
The X5 Pro looks like the X4 Pro with a new, more powerful chipset. It retains a 108MP main camera that can now record 4K video.
The minimum charge is listed as 4,905 mAh. This means a typical charge is at least 5,000 mAh.
Android 14 blocks installation of very old apps.
The S23 generation will feature a special “Snapdragon for Galaxy” chipset, and Samsung is said to continue to use such chips until its own chips are ready.
The next budget Galaxy M series phones are expected to launch with the Exynos 1380 chipset.
They should be heading to the US soon too.
The Victus 2 was announced at the end of November and offers better drop resistance, especially on rough surfaces like concrete.
The pad has a large circular camera island halfway down the back.
You can see the red buttons in the image that seem to toggle the different modes.
The phone arrives in the Philippines.
The new HomePod was announced last week and is now ready for use.
Is this a rebadged Realme 10?
The online store app is sending notifications to some users.
Pro sounds pretty promising too.
The chip is aimed at Windows PCs and features connectivity to match PCIe 4.0 for storage and USB 4 for external connectivity.
This is the OS that the upcoming iPhone 15 model, which launches this fall, will run.
The test device has 8 GB of RAM and runs Android 12.
