What we expect from Samsung in 2023

Samsung achieved great success in 2022 and is preparing to launch its products in 2023, but how can the Koreans make 2023 better and what can we expect from them?

Series phones Galaxy S22 They were made based on the good sales of the previous Galaxy S series phones, and the sales of Samsung’s latest foldable phones had a significant growth compared to the 2021 phones of this brand. Samsung Last year, it was in a better position than most of its competitors in the bear market.

While we do know a bit about what upgrades the Galaxy S23 series will have over the Galaxy S22 family of phones, there are plenty of other ways Samsung can make 2023 even more successful.

Introducing more attractive folding phones

To be honest, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 phones have only slightly improved over the previous versions, and we can even say that these phones are not particularly different from their previous models.

Undoubtedly, if Samsung wants to maintain the high sales of its folding phones and the opinions about these phones remain positive, it has no choice but to offer more attractive folding phones. This company can maintain the positive opinion of customers towards these phones by various methods such as reducing screen creases, making them resistant to dust, using higher quality folding screens and high-end cameras.

According to rumors, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will come with a dedicated S Pen slot, which could increase the appeal of this device for some users. In general, considering the support of Galaxy Z Fold 3 and 4 for the S Pen, it is likely that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will have a special place for this pen. In addition, with the entry of more Chinese companies such as Honor and Oppo in the folding phone market, the field will be narrower for Samsung.

Introducing the Fan Edition (FE) version of Galaxy Watch

The Galaxy Watch 5 is a lovely product, even if it looks more like an evolution of the Galaxy Watch 4 than a completely new product. At $279, the Galaxy Watch 5 is a great buy, and we hope Samsung follows the current path for its high-end gadgets in most areas.

Of course we hope Galaxy Watch FE It will also be possible for Samsung to sell its smart watches at a cheaper price than competitors in this field. Therefore, the Koreans can compete with products such as the Mobvi Tic Watch E3, Fitbit Versa 3 and Garmin Venu Sq, and even challenge the Cupertinos at a lower price than the Apple Watch SE.

Introducing the Galaxy S23 FE

Samsung didn’t release the FE version of the Galaxy S22 in 2022, which was disappointing news for fans of the cheaper version of the company’s flagship phones, but things may be different this year.

We hope that if Samsung wants to unveil the fan edition version of its 2023 flagship phone, both in terms of price and time frame, it will have a greater distance from the original versions and we will no longer see the defects of the Galaxy S21 FE. The $600-$700 version of the Galaxy S23 will likely be received by customers much like the S20 FE in 2020.

The Galaxy S23 FE is likely to use plastic instead of glass in its body and its camera will be weaker than that of the original versions, but as long as the Fan Edition version has the same power chip as the flagship processors, support for wireless charging technology and waterproof standard, like the original version Yes, it is considered a very good offer. At the same time, the release of this phone can help Samsung compete with companies like Google.

Removing the exclusive functions of Samsung gadgets when connecting Galaxy phones

Samsung has a variety of hardware products, the most prominent of which are smartwatches and earbuds, but to use some of the features of these products, you need to connect them to Galaxy phones. This limitation is one of the main disadvantages of Samsung ecosystem products and Samsung should reconsider its policy.

For example, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro only supports high-bitrate audio, spatial audio, and automatic switching between connected devices when paired with a Galaxy phone. Also, you must connect it to a Galaxy phone to use the Galaxy Watch 5’s flagship features, such as blood pressure monitoring and heart rate monitoring. Definitely, such a big limitation for gadgets with these useful features annoys users.

We hope that Samsung will solve this problem to some extent and with non-Samsung phones we will be able to access more features of this brand’s gadgets.

Adding Seamless Updates feature to Galaxy phones

This feature was created for the first time in 2020 in Android 11, but Samsung’s 2021 phones lacked it, and we hoped that the company would create such a feature in its 2022 phones, which unfortunately did not happen again. Now we expect 2023 phones from the Korean tech giant with Seamless Update features to be offered.

If you are not familiar with Seamless Updates, we must say that this feature is related to the phone update process and it is also referred to as the Android update feature in the background. Thanks to this feature, update files are downloaded and installed in the background of the operating system, and when using it, the phone is reset and launched with a new update. But Samsung still insists on using the common update method, which makes the phone unusable when receiving the update and installing it.

In case of updating the phone with the common and old update method, you will not be able to use the phone for 10 to 20 minutes, and during the update process, only the page related to installing the update will be displayed. The reason why Samsung and other brands do not accept Seamless Updates is that this feature requires more storage space; But it is definitely worth increasing the internal memory to use this feature. It seems that the use of Seamless Updates will be mandatory in Android 13.
