We’ve got Qualcomm and Google execs on stage with TM Roh talking about the integrations between their products and XR.

Samsung is highlighting the customizability of One UI 5.0’s lock screen. That was kind of iOS 16’s thing too. Custom lock screens are fun and good, fwiw. More of them, please.

Galaxy Book 3 Ultra got a big, flashy introduction on stage. We’re hearing all about the specs right now and it’s pretty clear that Ultra means “no compromises” in Samsung.

Full-well capacity, ISP, we’re talking about it all. I guess with not much else changing on the phone elsewhere, it makes sense to do more of a deep dive. Also, I’m a nerd, and 100% here for it.

Our least favorite word for low-light photography is back. Samsung’s highlighting the low light video capabilities of the S23 Ultra with... another film by another director. And it looks dark.

Welp, I was wrong. Samsung’s new 200MP sensor in the S23 Ultra features some under-the-hood updates to better gather light. I was betting that Samsung wouldn’t get into the weeds in this presentation, but they sure did. Guess I owe you all $5.

Galaxy Unpacked is underway and we’re on the ground in SF. I’m sensing big megapixel vibes... stay tuned as all is revealed.
