Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked launch appears to be on track for February 9 as the brand has open reservations for fans to sign up and learn more about its upcoming devices.
Reservations first opened on Thursday, with Samsung advertising that those who sign up will receive a $50 credit toward pre-orders when they open in February. The marketing did not specify which devices will be available, but rumors about the Galaxy S22 series and Galaxy Tab S8 series have been circulating for some time. Media expects that both product families might be announced at the same event; however, the Galaxy S22 series will likely be the headliners of the Galaxy Unpacked event.
Reserving your Galaxy device is as simple as offering your email address, which we did via Facebook Messenger. It does not commit you to purchase anything. You really just get subscribed to Samsung’s mailing list, which you can unsubscribe from later if you want. However, you can get to other deals and discounts as a benefit of being a part of the mailing list. Pre-orders won’t be available until after the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy Tab S8 series are official, and those who are a part of Samsung’s mailing lists will probably get special pre-order deals as well, potentially of up to $250 in credits.
Once your reservation is confirmed, you will get details about when the Galaxy Unpacked live stream event will take place, February 9 at 10 a.m. EST.
Rumors had already zoomed in on a February 9 announcement for the Galaxy S22 series. Reports indicate that devices will likely hit stores on February 24. U.S. prices are expected to start at $899 for the standard Galaxy S22, while the Galaxy S22 Plus might start at $1099, and the Galaxy S22 Ultra at $1299.
