The Galaxy A23 will be the third-cheapest device in Samsungs bread-and-butter Galaxy A series this year. The budget phone has now been showcased in a leak, revealing its expected specs and a modern design in line with Samsungs current devices.

Cameras are undoubtedly the major selling points of Samsungs new Galaxy S22 lineup, and the phones look to be making good on that promise. The trio debut with a mix of new and familiar camera hardware, which have now been detailed entirely.

Samsung has already changed its specification sheets for the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+, two of its latest flagship smartphones. Unfortunately, the pair do not support a 10-120 Hz variable refresh rate as Samsung advertises.

By most indications, the Exynos 2200 isnt a big upgrade on the Exynos 2100 in peak performance terms. It appears that Samsung has managed to make its new flagship chipset rather stable, though—even more so than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, it appears.

The Galaxy S22 series already appears to offer excellent value for money relative to other premium phones and Samsung will be hoping to spice up sales with an attractive trade-in program that allows Galaxy Note 20 Ultra owners to upgrade to the Galaxy S22 Ultra with just US$499.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8, Galaxy Tab S8+ and Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra already offer various software optimisations to make use of their large displays. However, Samsung has now confirmed that Android 12L is planned for the three tablets to simplify multitasking further.

Reportedly, Xiaomi will be releasing the Watch S1 in Europe soon. Allegedly, the Watch S1 will launch for between €200 and €260, depending on the watch strap chosen. The Watch S1 has plenty of features, but those prices put the Watch S1 into Galaxy Watch4 territory.

Samsung has revealed the Galaxy S22 Ultra, a successor to both the Galaxy S21 Ultra and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Available in seven colours, the Galaxy S22 Ultra comes with up to 1 TB of storage, flagship cameras and a 5,000 mAh battery, among other features.

Samsungs latest Galaxy S smartphones rely on an Exynos chipset again in Europe, with the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra all utilising the Exynos 2200. According to Samsungs official performance data, the Exynos 2200 is between 5% to 17% faster than the outgoing Exynos 2100.

The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra arrives on February 9, Samsungs next premier tablet. Plenty is already known about the 14.6-inch tablet ahead of tomorrows Galaxy Unpacked event, including that it will feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. However, a hands-on video has already leaked, showcasing its potential as a laptop or Surface Pro 8 replacement.
