Samsung’s first Galaxy Unpacked of 2024 should see the debut of the Galaxy S24 family
Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked events are used as big product showcases for the South Korean electronics company, often seeing it reveal the latest-generation Galaxy phones and foldables, as well as smartwatches, earbuds, and more.
The first Unpacked of 2024 kicks off on January 17, where we expect to see the reveal of the Samsung Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and Galaxy S24 Ultra at the very least. There’s also scope for the Galaxy Ring, Samsung’s rumored smart ring, to make its debut, as well as upgrades for the likes of the Galaxy Buds 2.
But Unpacked also acts as a bit of a weathervane for Samsung’s direction of travel in consumer technologies, and with Samsung recently trademarking the term ‘AI Phone’ we can expect a good dose of AI-powered features and services to be touted by the company on January 17.
