Although we know for certain that Samsung will launch the next Galaxy S smartphones on February 1, that’s not when you’ll be able to buy them. As usual, Samsung will reveal the phones and open pre-orders that day, but sales will begin sometime later.

If you want to skip the line, you can experience the Samsung Galaxy S23 launch in a more “hands-on” way. In various locations worldwide, Samsung will hold events where you can physically try a Galaxy S23 smartphone.
