[foldable phones](https://www.stuff.tv/features/best-foldable-phones/) or [Galaxy Watch](https://www.stuff.tv/review/samsung-galaxy-watch-5-pro-review/) announcements. We know that Samsung will debut the S23 Series and that there will be three phones again – standard 6.1in version, 6.6in S23 Plus and 6.8in S23 Ultra. Rumours also suggest earbuds won’t be part of the reveal this time around, which is a bit of a surprise, but then it hasn’t been too long since the debut of the [Galaxy Buds 2 Pro](https://www.stuff.tv/review/samsung-galaxy-buds-2-pro-review/).

The event kicks off at 1pm ET/10am PT and 6pm GMT later today and will be held physically in San Francisco.

We got hands-on with the brand new Samsung Galaxy S23, S23+ and S23 Ultra. Here's everything you need to know about the specs, price and how to buy.

With the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, the S23 processes graphics faster than the S22. The 200MP back-facing camera is high-quality enough to print out photos and blow them up onto canvases, and the 12MP front-facing camera has super HDR, so your selfies will look as flawless as you do. Both are flat, whereas the S23 Ultra includes a 6.8-inch, newly-shaped curvature display. The all-new S23, S23+ and S23 Ultra smartphones come in four different colourways: Phantom Black, Cream, Green, and Lavender, and all colours are sourced from plants as part of Samsung’s eco-conscious initiative. One of the most fun experiences from the Samsung hands-on was taking photos on the S23 Ultra. If you pre-order a new S23 smartphone before 16th February, Samsung will also double the phone’s storage. Although it sounds trivial, it is important to own a device which you feel comfortable holding. We spent a lot of time trying out the new functions, particularly the camera. Samsung has advanced its S Series with the all new Samsung Galaxy S23, S23+ and S23 Ultra smartphones. If you’re a Samsung user, you’ll know how easy it is to see what’s at risk and what’s not, which offers much-needed peace of mind. Plus, the new S23 Series promises a better gaming experience. It also comes in four different colour variations: Phantom Black, Cream, Green, and Lavender.

There are three new phones—the Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra—as well as five new laptops.

The S23 line does have more recycled components than last year, however; the company says it has doubled the number of recycled parts on the S23 Ultra to 12, from the speaker module to the volume keys. The S23+ sits in the middle with a 6.6-inch screen. It pops out of the bottom edge of the handset. Samsung's Galaxy S23 smartphones follow closely in the footsteps of the S22 series.
