Since September, every weekend recap we’ve done has featured at least a few stories from the Galaxy S23. It gets to the point where you’d think you’ve seen every possible leak of the Galaxy S23 series, yet week after week we get new pieces of the puzzle.

The biggest of the many S23 stories this week was the confirmation that Samsung has officially confirmed that it will hold the announcement of the series on February 1st. The Unpacked event will start at 18:00 UTC and will be streamed live. And Samsung opened the reservation for the S23 series at the same time.

Earlier in the week, we received official promotional videos of the Galaxy S23 series, but they have since been removed. A few days later, we received the official press renders, showing the finished versions of the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra.

To conclude the content related to S23, we could see the dummies of the three phones for size comparison.

In the meantime we have published our review of Samsung OneUI 5.0 and you really liked it.

Beyond the Samsung camp we have seen Redmi Note 12, Redmi Note 12 Pro and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ on sale in India. The Redmi Note 12 has a base price of INR17,999 ($220/€205), while the Note 12 Pro and Note 12 Pro+ start at INR24,999 ($305/€285) and INR29,999 ($370/€340). , respectively.

Windows has ended support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, so if you’re using both, you should consider upgrading.

Those were week 2’s key stories, but you can find the full list below. See you in a week!
