Experience the Galaxy S23 before anyone else at these global locations

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.

As one would expect, the primary location will be in San Francisco, which is where the main launch event will happen. There will be a bunch of other events, though:

• San Francisco: February 1 — 25 at 111 Powell Street
• London: February 1 — March 12 at Westfield White City
• Paris: February 1 — March 1 at Westfield Les 4 Temps
• Singapore: February 2 — 25 at Gardens by the Bay, West Lawn
• Dubai: February 2 — 28 at Dubai Mall
